High draft picks are almost irreplaceable

So can people please stop suggesting that Freo is going to give us pick 7 for a middle-aged player, or Syndey is going to give us pick 11, or Brad Green will be traded for a first round pick.

Not going to happen. It takes someone very special to have first round draft picks traded for him (eg Judd) and we have no-one good enough who we are willing to trade that will fetch that sort of a deal.

    Hay was worth 2 first round picks...Woewoden on the decline was worth pick 14. as was Jolly. u dont necessarily have to a superstar to fetch a first rounder...u just need to be required by another team...

    it seems a couple of clubs would see Green as a big asset otherwize they wouldnt have enquired

    Think it's fair to say that in recent years, and I'm talking the last 2-3, there has been a lot more emphasis based on the draft. Hawthorn have lead the way in looking for youth, Geelong have shown that a young team can win premierships, other clubs are now looking to follow suit.

    These deals for Hay, Woewodin, Jolly or ... Croad :blink: would not have happened this year.

    I would hope that CAC would use this sniff to perhaps chase down a first round pick. He needn't make a song and dance about it, as we don't want to unsettle Green if nothing happens, but I would be using the interest of these other clubs to see what we could get.
