The Worst Trade Ever

[Lars27]

Hahaha Essendons list is so stacked they don’t need a top ten pick???

The arrogance of Essendon supporters is well known, but this is delusional.

We have a lot of needs, and that’s why the trades we did made sense. Instead of just using pick 9, we got picks 37/39,43 in a deep draft, as well as Saints F2 and Melbourne’s F1. Also we most likely would have gone into deficit next year if we used pick 9 due to our lack of picks to match Kako.

I agree with Yoda that there was no one available at pick 9 that I would prefer over the bundle of picks we ended up with.

Most people who don’t follow the draft heard ‘super draft and therefore believe every early pick is going to be a guaranteed star.

It was referred to as a ‘super draft’ due to the depth. It’s an even draft.

2023 top 10 is far superior to this year and Dyson Sharp would be the clear number 1 pick in this years draft and he isn’t drafted to next year.

We almost certainly didn't.

It's also regarded as a deep draft. Not necessarily stacked with super stars.

Except that you did.

If you were holding Pick 9 on the night you'd have been offered North's future 1st.

Then you should of held the pick until draft night and traded with North and given yourself a shot at Sharp.
