Also over rated by Brisbane and Adelaide. Two teams currently in their premiership window who think he would make a difference.

Brissy are an absolute shambles… totally no chance to win the flag this year nor having won any in the last few years… LOL

Honestly,
At the end of the day we probably should look to trading as many senior blokes as possible now.

We are screwed for the next 2-4 years at least, so bring in as much young talent as you can in that time.

Keep Merrett, Durham, Martin, Caldwell and make them the leaders that drive the younger guys forward.

He’s not overrated. He could absolutely be a difference maker to a premiership threat.

We always hang on to players that are like this when we really need the meat and potatoes consistent types first to set our structural team base around.

Until we have that there’s no point keeping players like Draper. Hence why we got rid of Stringer as well.

The fact is he also has a serious injury history and yet to play a single season unhindered by some issue. It’s a serious ongoing concern for a club that can’t afford these types anymore.

True

McKay would be one of the first players I’d be trying to push out the door.
Ridley is a must keep for me.

Draper leaving is slightly gutting, but it’s a difficult decision the club must make.

Parish is a no brainer.

The qaulity apparently drops off really quickly after the first 10 or so are picked

I’ve heard it’s fine, that the quality drop off isn’t until 2nd round.

And that there just isn’t the elite top pick standout number 1 but there is still heaps of talent.

Heaps of good players available for us.

Spot on mate, so many people are loving the look of Huss and Sweid and at the moment they are second round prospects at best yet people are carrying on saying it’s a weak draft.
It’s a shallow draft but if we are taking a large whack of our picks in the first round and following it up with those two NGA boys we will be in for a great haul
