Didn't hold our nerve. We clearly wanted to re-sign Stack and Miller and hence could only have 5 picks by draft day. We paid too high a price for 27.
One of our worst trades ever. I rate it right up there with:
1. Fatty Farmer for Jay Schulz
2. Pick 19 for Jordan McMahon; and
3. Pick 8 for Craig Biddiscombe
That's your opinion, you're entitled to it but like I said you are squabbling over what? picks in the 40/50/60's compared to 2-second rounders plus Tarrant.
I agree on past trades including giving picks 23 and 31 for Yarran but we can talk about all the past dealings that we didn't get right but geez has it hurt us in the long run, the short answer is NO. We are only 1 of 4 clubs to achieve a dynasty (3 premierships) in the last 20 years.
We weren't going to use pick 40 anyway, and next years future 3rd sure I would've preferred not to give it but we may be talking about a pick 50+
I am not losing sleep over 3rd and 4th rounders.
When I look at our draft hand 7, 15, 26, 27, 28 I just go wow! So, let's wait and see who we pick up because it could well be 5 gems!
