I'd give it a C. It's disappointing that Dahlhaus was valued lower than Motlop but he was shocking this year, was done with Adams and I wish Roughead all the luck in the world but he was physically cooked.
Meanwhile we bought in some mature talent although I'm completely unimpressed with the Duryea trade. However both players were also basically free hits so we haven't given up anything of value.

It was mostly a lateral move but we'll see how our list looks after the draft.

Was pretty much a crab move so far. Gowers & Lynch were already playing senior footy this year. Duryea & Lloyd don't move us much ahead, not backwards. A big sideways move. 7, 32 with West & Khamis certainly moves us forward though. Albeit the youngest 22 most weeks again next year.

With so much obvious faith placed in the draft, it's a little more difficult to appraise until, well ... ask me in 5 years.

I suppose we picked the right draft to do it with.

In truth, I'd posit Adams, Dahlhaus and Roughy are addition by subtraction. while the new blokes are mature, low-risk place holders until more of the kids dislodge them.

I'm pissed off everyone got a lollypop except us, but that'll subside if we start winning more than we lose.

A resigned C from me at this point though.

Like I said; very lateral. We didn't make big plays but we didn't cough up anything that actually hurts us.

Addressed very little of our weaknesses

In fact, we created new ones given we now have no ruck depth and very little kpd depth

At least we're looking to be consistent across the spectrum of the club. As dull off the field as on it. I haven't felt this unenthusiastic about football since the 2018 season.

We might bring in a few mature players from VFL.

Same E for mine...I agree with all the above

Creating a problem of making Boyd and his back issues ruck. Ruck a lot if Tim's boots aren't fixed yet. Then all the pressure on Schache to hold up a forward line as a sole forward. We should've at least addressed the ruck problem. The rookie draft will have absolutely exhausted any good depth ricks by then.

E-

We called ourselves players for this trade period after the season. Fast forward to today we pick up 2 guys who's clubs don't want them and we lose more experience to our completely unbalanced list.

[anfo27]

Its a D from me purely based on our negotiating skills or lack there of.

Fremantle showed how to do things. Was impressed with what they officially came out with & in the end got what they wanted & payed what they wanted by understanding their hand. We had a good hand with Adams & did nothing with it. Sometimes you have to be prepared to not get a deal done just to get what you want.

[SonofScray]

D

Missed our most exciting target.
Got younger and less experienced.
Conservative ins, not sexy but some merit.
Made hard calls on premiership players.

Not all bad, but the Wingard trade was a lynch pin for me.

[GVGjr]

I might be looking at this the wrong way but I'd say

Out
A very distracted player and one that distracted others
In
Pick 27

Out
An often injured player
In
Pick 32 and a 3rd rounder in 2019 (to be confirmed)

Out
Pick 64
In
Sam Lloyd

Out
A 2019 3rd round pick
In
A 2 time premiership player in Taylor Duryea

Out
Jordan Roughead
In
Not much

In terms of addressing our needs it's been a D
In terms of working on improving the culture and attitude of the playing group it's probably a C
