My premature prediction is Farrow + one of Dovaston or Pickett

at least Cumming wasn't one of your picks with that phrasing.

Players we have been linked too that havent been invited yet.

Lindsay

Dovaston

Pickett

Schubert

Marsh

Are we locking in the Cumming + Farrow double?

I would take that. HF/mid and HB/mid.

We may look at trading our GC F1 for Pickett? Maybe our 37 in the mix??

It would give us some versatility for sure, and I suspect that’s something King would rate (based on how Geelong like their players to operate)

I hope the reported work we have been putting in on Schubert has all been done in an attempt to get the bombers to take him.

Do you think WB would trade pick 14 for GC F1st to stock up the pics for Butters?

Wasnt Trengove suspended for a 'sling' tackle against Dangerfield who claimed concussion and then played next week and kicked 6 goals?

My strong dislike for Dangerfield started them. Its only gotten stronger

Yes we gave the Crows a touch up Mother’s Day 2011 I think it was

I wonder if Blease, Strauss, Bartram, Morton, Toumpas and all of these guys would have ultimately become better and more competent AFL players in the current MFC with the ability to develop players?

More competent yes. Validate where they were selected no. I would exclude Bartram from that bunch being he was a pick 60 who knocked out 100 games.

Dons are right in for Cumming

My point is really that we have had a massive massive group of first rounders come though the doors and a really low % of those went on to become A grade players

Not all those were high first rounders, e.g. Blease was pick 17. But you would need to compare outcomes across clubs for the same or similar picks to be making any real conclusions. There are a LOT of first-rounders who don't reach 200 games, and plenty who don't even reach 50 games.
