Winning Culture or an extra draft pick? (Merged)

While they haven't won a premiership, being a losing team for the last 3 years doesn't seem to have hurt Hawthorn. We need some top players (Brown last night showed that) and then we need good recruiting and development to ensure a stream of young players once we start to make our way up the ladder.
Re: Winning culture or an extra draft pick?
Why give melb a No1 when we could have it. The kids are showing alot which is great. Lets get the next best kid to join them.
When Lids is 23,24 years old I expect us to be top 4 consistantly.

I'd like to see us finish the season strongly and ready to take some momentum into 2008. Dare i say it - like the Hawks have done this year. There are some parallels there.
Evryone would like no1 pick but at some stage you need to learn to stop aiming for it.
I do like the idea of rotating the young guys in/out of the side as form predicts. For instance, I'd drop Howat & White this week if any of Edwards, Simmo, Riewoldt, Hartigan, Meyer etc step up for the burgers. Tivendale deserves to stay, but Krak probably doesn't.

Any pick in the top 3 this season will give us a "AA" grade player.
If we're not going after Kreuzer, either of Cotchin or Morton will do.
My only reservation is that every junior we draft from WA seems to get OP.
I'm not sure if it's us or them.
Do other clubs have problems with their WA juniors developing OP?

Developing a winning culture is far more important than getting the first draft pick. One top young player does not a side make.
It's also a culture that should permeate throughout the entire club. Very few high draft picks does not seem to have bothered top quality sides like West Coast, Sydney, Adelaide etc recently.
