    I hate this F/S method with a passion.
    I expect that a side with two top F/S prospects a year apart will get the older of the two to put off nominating for a year and pick them both up together so one will go with a 2nd rounder.

    Sensible approach.

    In theory is good, but look at Sam Sheldon; Carlton tried that with him but he said stuff ya, i want to play footy now and Brisbane are willing to draft me now.

    There is also the possibility that we may not rate either kid as a first round draft pick and if someone else does we might just call their bluff and let them draft them.
