How many 1st round picks amongst them ?

No. But I have heard of that scourge ‘Micky Rott’.

4 (Adams, Varcoe, Aish, Hoskin-Elliott). You could argue 5 given Treloar was taken as a 17yo pre-selection.

We had 5 this year. Leuenberger, Brown, Goddard, Smith, Stringer.

Not sure this tells us much.

Collingwood’s recruitment of high end talent has been impressive. What an inspired pick, their 24 year old Grundy

Buckley has taken 7 years to get here. It takes time, we are only 3 years in on this cycle.

Having said that, it’s never been more apparent that Premiership windows are less relevant.

You need some semi consistency to make the finals. Then you need a talented list, in form, playing to a winning gameplan for 4 matches in September.

This will be the 3rd year in a row the best team does not win it.

First time in history the minor premier has not won the flag for 5 consecutive seasons.

I just said stuff

Yeah it’s interesting isn’t it.

If Melbourne win then we will have 2 Grand Finalists that didn’t make the finals the year earlier.

I don’t know if that has happened before.

Trade context- not convinced we must complete huge trades to compete next year.

1993! Ess and Carl were 8th and 7th respectively (missing the Top 6) in 92. Most recent example - reckon there were earlier ones.

Townsend? That is some serious pazza-type lunacy right there.

Let’s have a few mower Honda puns. You young whipper-snippers have no idea how to diversify, garden against the possibility.
