This topic is a what if? What happens if our draft picks don't cut the mustard at AFL level. No I'm not talking about their first years in football as I'm well aware that these kids can take time to develop. However, as we all know, there have been some number 1 draft pick flops in the past. I'm just curious to know what people think about what we should do with pick 11. Considering if we go with all kids and don't entertain the idea of possibly putting our 11th pick on the table, who knows what we may get for it.

What if, what if, what if.

We won't know for another 5 years....don't lose any sleep over it.

then we trade them to Calton for pick 11, or if real duds St Kilda, Freo or Essendon will generally be interested, otherwise Hawthorn may try poaching them...

Trade what for? Who wants to come to us? Maybe Raines so he can be next to his twin in Frawley.

1. Tom Scully

2. Jack Trengove

11. Nathan Vardy

18. Jake Carlisle or Matthew Panos

Two midfielders, a ruckman and a KPF. Covering all of the areas we need. No need to trade.

Nathan Vardy at pick 11?

You have no idea.

What happens if the kid we take at 11 is a dud?

We get back in the DeLorean, go back in time, and not make this trade...

Pretty simple really.

Think outside the box, people.

Forget Jack Watts, I need 1.21 Giga Watts...

I wonder if they're related?

When mumma megawatts loves papa gigga watts very much they produce little Jacky Watts.

The easiest way is just to not draft a spud. Simple.

Steering clear of all vegetables, would be a good start.

Taters are expensive with the drought and all.

Although, I am partial to Blueberries.

Not in season though. They'll be hothouse blueberries. Still worth it.

McLean for hothouse blueberries.

I can't help but feel I have gone off-track...

I used to like banannas.

I don't now. But they were expensive for a while. Do you think that'd be a good pick up?

Nah, they shed their skins pretty readily, and then they become a hazard.

Blueberries are just there, no mess, no fuss.

Bananas are high maintenance. In it for themselves.

Give him to a Chinese person to fry and it might change the equation.

But without the Chinese person thrown in - no dice.

I fully expect us to make a huge play for someone like Anjes Everitt, with our unexpected windfall.

Sorted - though I hear Matt Hayden is pretty good on the BBQ. Hayden at 11, a banana at 50. Looks like we'll need that pick after all.

I feel like our conversations are invaluable to this forum.

This place would melt down if it weren't for the few seconds of levity the villagers get from our pointless and inane rantings.

It's a public service, really.

We suck it up. What else can we do? Drafting is a big bloody lottery anyway so we just roll the dice and hope we get a couple of good 'uns.
