I hope so! if we trade our picks 38 & 40 for next year, then something is brewing. pick the best 4 in our picks regardless mid, tall, etc.
Not sure why you have the need to denigrate and belittle other posters just because they disagree with your point of view.
It wasn't that you disagreed with my point of view - I have no issue with that.
It was the blunt, unintelligent comment that warranted the response
No one ever drafts a player that they think is *smile*.
I'm not the only one saying Gibcus is a top 10 talent - most credible draft commentators are saying the same.

Personally from both Highlights both looked incredibly similar in most ways.
If Gibcus is there at our pick we will take him.
I have been talking up Hobbs because l expect Gibcus to be gone.
Clarke has said ,we will draft the best available, no matter what position they play with our first pick,and then go for needs.

That would be Cotchin/Rance like again. The double act that never seemed possible before the draft.
I remember that and couldn't believe my eyes, think I was even talking about buying another top 10 to get a look in. Best fortune we've had and made better by Carlton selling the farm to get Judd. No way we win a premiership without those two, Judd probably bumps us out of the Dusty range too. Some big lessons in that episode, also from a West Coast perspective. Godfather deals for a rookie? Now that is taking things to the next level.
Think you may have missed the nuance of my short, blunt unintelligent rebuke.
You suggested that the club is doomed if it does not draft KP players in this yrs draft. From my perspective overly dramatic and wrong. If Gibcus was a KPF I would consider him with our first pick. Absolutely not as a KPD. My opinion only of course. From all reports the quality of KPP's after Gibcus is sparse. I would not expect the RFC to forego the selection of a quality mid with any of our remaining picks just to fulfil the need for a KP type which is exactly what your initial post suggested. Hopefully this more lengthy response gives you a better understanding of my counter position.
Love the colour and passion of your posting but reckon you don't need to *smile* people off in the process.
Right at this point ,u can't tell what happens to our KP stocks,whom ever we might draft along with miller,Ryan,Balta ,could do anything,posters a few years back were screaming about our rucks ,even when we had nank,and clearly the club knew better.
Could we pull off a Hobbs/Sonsie with picks 7 & 15?
I suspect one of them if not both will be definitely there at 7 but could the other slide to 15?

I think so, right on Sonsie's range, particularly given the WA boys will likely be gone. Essendon may like him, perhaps as Shiel insurance.
The Gold Coast Hobbs link at 3 worries me. Not sure he is the best pairing to go with Rowell & MIller. If they take Hobbs it tells me they have major Rowell concerns. But I'd be fine with Hobbs and Sonsie. Sonsie is starting to remind me of Oliver Florent for some reasons.
And that's the point, you can get an All Australian quality back later on in the draft, happens all the time. If he is a swingman then different story.
Has Gibcus been tried forward? Usually forwards can be turned into backmen. Perhaps he can be changed to a forward?
Blair Hartley's view:
Can the Tigers challenge again in 2022?
“We are pretty confident we can. Not a lot went right for us this year and we are just looking forward to getting the guys back. We are pretty excited about the development time we can get into our guys, even pre-Christmas and seeing them jump again.
Young players to watch:
"It's the emergence of some of our young guys, like Collier-Dawkins, Ross and Dow and Ralphsmith and Maurice Jr, Samson Ryan."
