Very nice scenario there AT - would be awesome if the club could find interest in that type of a trade...don't think it'll happen but that's exactly the type of trading we need to do IMO. Surely with Bowden/Brown/Polak/Simmo all retiring or being delisted (I hope), surely we would be able to 'afford' paying out a contract or 2 if need be...

Picks 2, 18, 19, 30, 35, 51...nice start!!! :-*

its amazing newy even with that extra pic "30" along with Priority pic 18 it looks tantilising that order and we can improve on that with even 1 more player...

claw u are sounding contradictory, in one sentence ur saying u cant win more than 4 and then in another sentence ur saying its ok to win as long as we're winning with youth and ineffect miss out on a priority pic and early pics which ur more guarenteed to pic up decent players, sure we are getting games into them but u then go on and say until we go thru and do what has to be done we will forever stay mired in mediocrity.

Claw that means we stay low on the ladder regardless whos playing oldies or youth and do what u have been advocating, getting early pics and priority pics to better the list before GC and WS come in and clean up at the next few drafts, mate 2 more wins and thats it, i want pic 3, priority pic 18, 19, 35 etc etc, trade out some players for extra draft pics too and do what is neccessary to enhance the list..
yeah i can see how it can look that way. but when all things are put in context its not so. i could write a reply to explain but ya know sometimes its just to much hard work.

we all need something to hang our hat on weather we are tanking or not. the only thing there is to hang the hat on and give people some hope is playing the kids.

ive posted lots of times what i hope happens and this hasnt changed in fact stacking the side with kids is a win win situation. anyway heres to the tank choo chooooo.

no worries mate no need to type up an essay, i think u post enough on many issues...I do hope we play more of the kids to get games into them but still not get over 4 wins, i understand if that happens it happens regardless whos playing but this is our last chance to clean up somewhat at the draft, i have no doubt melbourne are doing this, yes they're losing but they're getting games into there youngsters..

I agree with the first bit, but why would anyone want to trade for players a bottom 3 side doesn't even want?

Think Freo. They'll take anyone who still has a heartbeat.
