Why are they at our club, taking a spot of a kid. 2 examples of our 2 best players this year. Rance and Edwards. Both 2nd round selections, not top 10, not first round but 2nd round selections. We drafted them and gave them time. No quick fixes like draftees from state league or picked up recycled delisted players, free agency or traded in unwanted players. It's what should have been our focus over the last few years.
What would other clubs give up for these guys:
Chaplin
Petterd
Foley
Newman
Grigg
Lloyd
Gordon
Morris
Hampson
Knights
Thomas (Rookie, can be given some slack but still a rookie spot is taken)
I would suggest not much at all. That is 10 players. 10! No other club would touch any of those players, not even Carlton or Brisbane who will finished bottom 2. Chaplin and Grigg would be the only 2 that would be looked at and we'd be lucky for a 3rd rounder for either one.
Why are they at our club, taking a spot of a kid, the next Rance or Edwards. The fact we have no small forward on our list, or anyone with decent pace is a disgrace.
