The pick 4 deal

[GVGjr]

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

[bulldogsthru&thru]

If in doubt vote no. We don't know what G will do to us if we vote yes.

[Axe Man]

This is more like a plebiscite in that what we think has no bearing on the decision.

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

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.

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

[jazzadogs]

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.

[LostDog]

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

[MrMahatma]

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.

[angelopetraglia]

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.

[GVGjr]

I think this sums up Sam Power and Dom Milesi with the thought of getting Nick Watson in

They'll be going rock climbing

[LostDog]

Agreed I hope Watson is not Nathan Hrovat 2.0

[angelopetraglia]

Based on the same finishing ladder positions this year will happen next year.
