If we trade down from our pick to get another first and a future second, we'll be better off....

Well - MAYBE. But only if the players you pick are the right selections for your club in terms of physical fit, cultural fit and developmental fit...

How do you get that right? Well...you (make an educated) guess. Or just guess. And cross your fingers.
The complexity of trading in young men with footballing skills! So Curtin is getting the hype? So I take it then that WCE Will seriously a slight downgrade if that’s their chips in player? Is he equal to the hype?
