The pick 4 deal
I've mentioned already today that we probably need to wait to see what other deals get done to really get the picture of how this deal might look but on face value do you see this as a positive or a negative outcome for the club?
I'll attach a poll with some options more than the typical yes or no options (this not a referendum )

So it won't need a majority of the other boards support to pass?

4 states need to pass this and I'd say we need 60% plus

Re: The pick 4 deal
If in doubt vote no. We don't know what G will do to us if we vote yes.

Re: The pick 4 deal
This is more like a plebiscite in that what we think has no bearing on the decision.

Re: The pick 4 deal
I've said we've overpaid but my stance is begining to soften as father son/academy/AFL compensation ****ery gets accounted for. It initially felt like we'd need to finish top 4 to balance out the trade but maybe simply making the 8 evens things out. There's also the ability with all these bids to bundle up some picks and move ahead in the draft so there's a long way to go yet before we really can gauge this whole thing
I'm still in the overpaid camp for now but I'm open to changing my mind by the end of the 24 draft

Re: The pick 4 deal
I went with number two but I sit between 2 and 3 as it's more the compo picks and the sliding of your natural pick that shits me.
Maybe all compo picks should be future picks so it doesn't disrupt the clubs plan in the current year.
Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...

I nearly went with multiple choices in the poll but um....stuff it

Re: The pick 4 deal
I think we overpaid significantly, but on your question of whether it's positive or negative for the club...that is greyer. We will still get Watson and Croft, so it is a positive outcome.
But we miss out on the future 1st, whoever that might be...it's hard to judge at this stage because it hinges on the 2024 pick location but it does feel weighted against us.

Re: The pick 4 deal
Hmm Weightman and Watson
That means never seeing Scott or McNeil again is plus
I just don't think these 2 are up to it, good VFL level only
Because you cant beat the boys of the BULLDOG breed!!!!!

Re: The pick 4 deal
On paper, all things being equal, I think we overpaid. BUT - I also wanted us to bring in a top end talent in a position of need - so I went with #2.
Of course, all things are not equal. There's f/s, academy picks both this year and next, which push everything we've paid back. Plus, there's the depth of both drafts.

Re: The pick 4 deal
Due to future picks being involved and the unknown nature of the father son nomination, this is incredibly difficult to judge. If we finish top four next year, Croft and the Wizard look like stars we will look like geninuses. If we finish bottom four and our pick #4 doesn't have a great start we could like fools.
Time will tell.

Re: The pick 4 deal
I think this sums up Sam Power and Dom Milesi with the thought of getting Nick Watson in
