Pick 6 and go to the draft or Prestia?
« on: October 14, 2016, 10:45:04 PM »
This poll is on the other sites so we may as well join in.

I would rather drafting a young gun than give up pick 6 for an injury prone B+ inside mid.

22 games in the last two years make him a risky proposition, far riskier than pick 6.

Pick 6. Gold Coke can GAGF'd.  Their club is a joke and should be boarded up ASAP

Should start a new pole to see how many people think our list management team can actually draft a gun with pick 6 to begin with.

Fact is if our first round picks had turned out to be Prestias instead of Vickery, B Ellis, Lennon, Vlastuin and Conca we'd be far better off.

Only Martin has worked out in the last eight years and it's too early to call C Ellis and Rioli.


Prestia is a proven player and young. Two years with injuries but nothing career threatening afaik.  Definitely worth using pick 6 here if we get change or the chance to trade B Ellis and bring back pick 9.

Keep,six and get a kid who won't be in the side until dimmer is fired, therefore undimmerfied.

Yep needs another poll option, keep pick 6 and draft another under performer

Straight swap NO

Package up a player, pick 6 for Pestia and pick 8 or their soon to be pick 10 then YES

Poll option are too restricted

im truly amazed that so many people are so sure that we will recruit a better player than prestia with pick 6

What is this overwhelming endorsement of our recruiters based on?
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Yahweh? or the great Clawski?

I guess what people are saying is give them next years first. If Prestia is that good, we will improve our position considerably. That means we may have pick 12 or 13 next year. If you believe we won't improve and we may even go down, why should we waste $750K on a player who won't take us anywhere? May as well save the cash and splurge it next year on a FA like Fyfe and at the same time attack the draft with courage.
