How do we keep our top 5 pick, get another in the first round and Houston? Am I being greedy?

Mate, who do you like for our pick, versus who do you think we'll pick if different? And I completely agree on the above. @Colm, I was thinking Hynes if we can trade our future 1st for a later first rounder. I reckon Langford or Lalor at our first pick, and then Hynes at that 15-20 mark.

The one I like is Connor Hynes and someone mentioned we'd interviewed him recently. Big bodied mid that can play forward. He's likely to be there around pick 15ish.

I'd prefer Langford and Lalor anyway.

I'd go after Owies.

From what I've seen, Smillie kicks it better to advantage than anyone on our list.

Tapped on the shoulder by whom? We need major changes on the board, so who's pulling the strings here?

You can't ask the board to review themselves. And I and many others do not trust Pert. And clearly Trac wasn't listened to the first time he voiced his concerns last year.

Lalor has the Trac ceiling, but IMV, Langford has the Bont ceiling. Both damaging, but different offerings.

Come on, Melbourne. Asleep at the wheel here if we don't get him back.

He resigned from the board in 2013.

I'd back Steve Smith, provided he's open to an external review. I know for a fact we could do better with our MCC relationship, so he'd certainly help that.

You have to be one of our board members. You've been writing absolute twaddle for pages now. If there is nothing wrong, an external review would show nothing is wrong. Why do you not want the entire club to be held accountable?

Yze?

Anyone that doesn't think we need a robust external review, from the board down, is drunk at the wheel. But I don't think those on our board will want to undermine their ineptitude.

I think our talls are alright for next year. We need to put our chips into beefing up the midfield and a small lockdown defender to release McVee higher. But maybe AMW can play this role?

Look, maybe I should retract my previous comment, because I'm not 100%. I thought Mahoney was often driving it, but as list manager, Tim would have played a significant role. But things don't appear to have worked as well since Viney and Mahoney left, so I can only assume they played a greater part.

Agreed, but this was back in the day where Mahoney was a key player, as was Todd Viney. I trust JT, but the jury is out on Tim Lamb for me unfortunately. I think Tim has strengths, but we don't seem to be as nimble and efficient in trading up as we were, but there's probably a large amount of luck in all this.

I'd absolutely be trying to be aggressive in getting access to two players in the top 15, and maybe even a third player inside the top 20.

We traded our second rounder to Adelaide for McAdam, but will likely get that pick back for Nibbler. I'd hope we'd get another pick this year and one next year to help us with NGA for Nibbler. Best 22, premiership player, a year younger than McAdam. I'd hope we want more than what we traded for McAdam.

And a softer draw. We do need to do more to our list than just add pick 5 though.

Exactly, so they'll need lots of later picks and be willing to give up a first rounder to get them.

Don't agree. Gold Coast could well give us a first, as could Freo.

I'd say he'll be around our ANB pick, but he's much rawer than his brother, who to me, looks easily the best of the KPPs players in the draft. Jack looks like a gun. We could even get both brothers if we manage to get another top 15 pick by trading out our future 1st.

Yep, there are better ways to get the club to improve than the way this was dealt with. But happy father's day, Adam.
