Sam is the best judge I’ve seen, especially on future pick trading. He’s scarily accurate about picking good times for us to trade out, and when to trade in (less Dunkley forcing his hand last year).
So here’s my secret tip for y’all. If we are very confident about rocketing back into finals or top 6 next year you will see us trading a few future picks to try to bring in talent. If we are concerned that next year might be another year without finals or falling down the ladder you will see us not do much future trading for fear of overpaying (see Freo & Richmond this year - Lobb a little this year). Thinking on this today, this will be the tell about where we think the performances will be next year. Forget the rhetoric, future pick trading is strongly linked to internal expectation. So keep an eye on this through the trade period and then live trading at the ND to a lesser degree.
