Is Barnett THAT good? You'd assume they will need to trade 1 of their 2 1sts for next year for that pick, either their own or Freo's.

Im thinking Keeler gets to St Kilda with pick #31 as a direct replacement for Ryder
Van Es probably to Carlton

Because players and parents lose faith in the system. If GWS aren’t committed to draft me why would I join their academy.
They’ll go and play rugby with their mates instead.
Soccer, League and Union are the dominate school and local sports in Sydney. AFL is practically invisible
We don’t want him replaced but if he leaves we should be after the best going around
With Grundy in the bag I don't think it will be Barnett, Cowan makes sense with Hibberd close to the end.
We routinely raid Brisbane's academy and its still standing.
Afl have a feature on their website about how good cal twomey is. He's just doing his job, paid full time to milk his network which is down to his afl accreditation. And even then, a bunch of rank amateurs like us go pretty close to matching him. Any idiot can name the top 10 or 15.
I find the hubris and lack of perspective quite incredible.

Was it Fred trueman that said tufnell should be a clown in the circus, not fielding for England
Not for their top talent we don’t and only when they don’t have the points to pay up.
We got Cumberland by default. Our real target was Martyn so we bid on Cumberland expecting the Lions to match and then be left without the points to match Martyn.
Cumberland turns out to be very promising and Martyn another wasted pick. Classic Clarke drafting.
Ryan was 2 years out of their academy by the time we got him so not relevant.

He's a safe bet IMO. Can't see him failing. At absolute worst he'll be a very good back up, journeyman ruckman.
I wouldn't have HR in top talent bracket myself. But anyway, I disagree. There are a lot of mitigating factors.
Ok whether its Barnett or Cowan, are they really worth trading a future 1st round selection?
Worked well but not without its risks. Whenever you shaft a club the risk is that one day the boot will be on the other foot.
RFC works on reputation.
Not sure which is best but today’s genius could be tomorrow’s disaster
Nigel Tufnell was the lead guitarist for Spinal Tap. You’re thinking Phil!!
This idea of yours that anything short of nailing every draft pick is a failure is bizarre. There isn't much point having a discussion.
