Our major of concern is holding onto him.

If we are top 4 and challenging, and he is in the best 22/23, it will help with retention.

For, there wasn't much between Berry, Allan and Murphy.

It’s great for clubs to back their culture in. Draft the absolute best available at the top of the draft and work to maximise and retain the talent. I like the Freo pick.

Id have Reid (believing he will play an outside link role) before Berry (as the small forward) and then Allan (as the half back- I don’t think he will end up as a starting mid).

It’s all eye of the beholder at the moment though.
 
B+ at the end of it all.

Helped that once the band 1 compo came in we didn't really have to do much to have a successful period, nothing silly going on unless the right deal dropped. Credit for live trading back into the draft at the right points to nab Boxshall and Dodson.
 
Hawks
A- for the trade period, Battle for nothing and Barras for 14 and an early 4th round equivalent is good business.
C+ for the draft. Took a higher rated talent than expected at 35 then as expected NGA product so slightly better than expected, where expected rates a C. Also held blues f1/2 so essentially a full draft hand.
Better than Crows and Lions who could have employed AI to draft their players and saved the travel costs!

Gets an A for me.

Get 3 incoming players in the trade period with a reasonable outlay and who potentially fix issues in our best 22, alongside not doing anything stupid in the draft and grabbing a promising midfield prospect.

The only knock is I'd have liked one more pick, but equally, I don't know if there is anyone between 30-60 I'd really want at this point. Tall heavy with a list that doesn't really need more talls.
 
A

Smith is going to be a gun for many years and will give us some x factor through midfield.
Polkinghorne is a genuine smokey in this years draft. A mixture of Charlie Curnow/Mitch Georgiades. Excellent kick too.
Hofmann is the other I was glad the club selected. Can see all three becoming valuable contributors in Geelong's best 22 in the immediate future.

Geelong rarely needs the early round pick selections to get the most out of the draft. Next year they will focus on another big named free agent to replace Paddy Dangerfield . . . rinse and repeat.

In Wells we trust.

Not necessarily, it’s very likely a bid would’ve come in before their first round pick had they held it.
