We should be Happy we have Pick 4
Power has done it again and we have Pick 4 in this years draft, plus we have the opportunity to pick Croft who is rated by some as low as pick 11 to 16. This on top of Marra pick 1, then Darcy Pick 2.
We are building for the future..
Having said that, who should we pick.

I thought you always maintained we should never trade future firsts? Now that we have, it's OK?

Define done it again.
Swapped a future first that maybe top 10 for a bunch of useless third round picks?
Freo who beat us in a final finished 14th and coughed up pick 5 to Melbourne.

Re: We should be Happy we have Pick 4
This is why I don’t rate Power. Darcy and Marra fell in his lap. What else has he done. This is idiotic.
I will never see #16 the same!!

Haha
I'm happy to have pick 4 but like anything it depends on what it costs. Right now we don't know what it has cost so I'll only really be happy with the deal end of next year after seeing how the draftee is looking and how the team has performed. Or I'll potentially be very very upset.
BAD will you be defending the deal next year if we end up having paid a top ten pick +10 and 17?

He did good work early with the likes of Keath/Bruce, not overpaying but bringing in talent the set us up for 2021. Marra and Darcy is more the draft side but he got us the picks I guess to match the bids (not that amazing)
Dunkley was arguably a blemish though I don't know what the alternative was he and Brisbane had no interest in doing us any favors or operating in good faith.
This is crazy pants stuff and feels more like trading Stringer picks for Schache (which gives this more of a Grant stink to it TBH)

Re: We should be Happy we have Pick 4
I guess one other thing that can impact the validity of this deal is waiting to see where exactly all these picks end up after compensation, bidding, matching and so on. This year and next year.

Be classic if Watson is gone and he's been the catalyst for this.

Yeah. Disaster if we're left to choose between Duursma and Sanders.

Hey I need a /s
I meant in terms of wanting a specific player that kicked this off.
But of course we will get a good player none the less at 6.

Power interviewed on dogs website.
Pretty generic. Said we really rated the top end of the draft and we're wary of pick 10 and 17 being pushed back after all the f/s, free agency and academy bids.
