    PS: Truth be told I actually don't mind that we're taking our action to the draft.

    It’s very cool and sexy to fall in love with trading for the sake of it this time of the year.
    I’m sure in 6 months we’ll be pleased with our pick 7

    Reality is we build from the draft. Once we get back into the finals i'm sure we will attract some quality players to top up with.

    Yes but they got back a gun FF for Judd, not more draft picks.

    Redden and Jetta were a large part of why the Eagles improved to win the flag this year, so I'm not sure what 12 months ago has to do with it? Both were good players at Brisbane and Sydney respectively.

    A quarter of their Premiership side was traded in from elsewhere and aside from Vardy, all were quality best 22 players in their former sides. You could argue on numbers that the core of every Premiership side was drafted - that's always going to be the case.

    We did well with Hamling/Biggs (equiv. of Vardy) and Boyd was our big addition but the club is kidding themselves if they are not concerned about the fact that we cannot lure quality best 22 players from other clubs. Spin it however you like, but that puts us at a distinct disadvantage against other Victorian clubs particularly.

    And that's the approach we need to follow. From last year, Naughton, Richards, Schache and Gowers are the centerpiece of our future and that was supported by Trengove and Crozier additions.

    If we land the likes of Bailey Smith or Ben King (or one or two others) and have Rhylee West, Buku Khamis and a couple of other youngsters I think the future starts to look a lot more positive.

    2019 will likely be another development year but after that we're a good chance to be back in the finals.

    No one here wanted to touch Vardy when I mentioned his name during the trade period in 2016.
    He just would have provided that additional depth we needed in 2017.

    That's bloody hard to read but why would Ben King be a problem?

    For me, if we are so hell bent on keeping pick 7, i'd hope it's because we were confident on getting Smith. B King doesn't excite me much.

    Is B.King a KPF or KPD?

    Besides Wingard and Hurley two years ago , whom else ? I listen to confirmation from the club and not internet rumours ( particularly big footy )

    More of a defender but can play the forward position very well.

    You would have been the first person caning the club for recruiting Vardy . Come on now

    If we are keen to acquire a mid, there is some speculation it might be Jye Caldwell
    We could also look at Hately
