Guess he was too worried about your thoughts on Windsor's development to focus on later picks.

We had pick 27 before all the priority picks, academy selections, F/S picks and so on. I had a quick look and it seems like there were 11 of those prior to pick 27, effectively turning our pick into 38. Logan Morris was taken with 31. I agree that we should have made better use of those picks than we did, but we never would have had the chance to take Morris.

What's even crazier is that pick would have been pushed back so much he wouldn't have been available.

Yeah but I definitely remember micho picking that kid out and saying we should trade up slightly to get him and definitely not just being a hindsight hero and finding the only good player in that region
I shouldn’t go here and I know it’s too early, but..
We must have been super close to picking Darcy Wilson with our second pick this year. That would have been an awesome little haul for us.

34 to be exact. You can literally look at the draft and find this information out.

Bit complicated to figure out - but it ended up being 33 I think.

I’m not the one who said it was pushed back 11…so thanks for agreeing with me.
That said, if it was a 2-3 pick upgrade, I am sure we could’ve thrown in pick 35 to get us there.
That’s if we actually rated him, which supposedly we didn’t.
Calsher Dear another who already looks better than Jeffo.
Don’t get the logic taking blokes who will take 5-6 years to get to there prime so we can enjoy 2 years of them before they are free agents.

Who would have guessed Mich or Dan would have chosen the best case scenario for a pick in that range a month + into the season and said "why didnt we pick him???" ... this has really blindsided me.
Would have loved Weddle instead of Jefferson on our list - if we are looking back with 20/20 hindsight.
Kid is a freak and can play anywhere on the park. Kind of would fit the tall x-factor player hole we lost with Dogga.

Pick 35 would have been around 41-42 I think. Also your entire point for six months has been that it cost too much to upgrade our first rounder a few picks.
Man look at all those sweet badges. Share them around, guy.

I hadn't noticed them! The Cult of Robbo comma in high definition is glorious.
Was pretty obvious we wanted to get rid of that pick too.
Hopefully Jefe comes good. Has bursts of looking gold and he was so far back physically. He's like a proper old school 'talls take a long time' type. Most players come in now built like brick shithouses. Jefe missed that memo apparently.

Do they? Id just say the physicality of the league is at an all time low and most key forwards are 200cm + now so they mark the ball based on athleticism.
Man, I dunno. Jefferson came in looking like he was the most impressive kid at the local footy under 15s. Give him 3 years and he'll be ready to be drafted.
Carlton offering Hayward 6 years! Wowee. I doubt we'd match that.
