My only disappointment is that we have a really poor position in a strong draft. We needed to get a couple of more picks under 40 and
we haven't done it. Otherwise getting Lynch for free was a great result.

The only thing I can think of is that we're planning on trading up on draft night but I'm not sure our picks are worth all that much unless we're involving 17 & 37 somehow.... :huh

Reckon we might get away with trading 17 and 37 to eagles for 20 and 22, perhaps they’ll throw in their 2nd rounder for one of our picks in the 60’s?

We could still do something like that on draft night. :shh

WC not getting Kelly puts Freo back in the race for him next year which in turn could help us get Cerra.... :shh

Yeah pretty sure the bridge between WC and Geelong ain't looking real sturdy right now either champ and 12 months is an age in footy - bloke just wants to go home and will likely be even more desperate this time next year....:shh

Actually thought about that myself

Blokes that just want to go home don’t rule out 50% of the opportunities to get home.
