The Quick Fix

[Thryleon]

Dane Swan and Corey Enright were 4th round picks, in football parlance that's close to zero but just because we haven't jagged a good player low in the draft since Ryan Houlihan it doesn't mean that we can't in the future.
I think that Williamson was pick 60 odd and he looks OK.
It would be better than what we usually get, which is nothing.
Let's not forget that Richmond gave us pick 30 odd for Hampson, which is near enough to what we paid for Docherty, and no matter how bad McKay proves to be he can't be a worse footballer than Hammer.

For me thats ignoring horses for courses.  We dont have the key forward stocks to simply tip one out particularly when he appears better than most of the ones we have drafted before him (aside from Charlie Curnow) and considering hes big enough to be a part time ruckman as well, that is another reason to persist that wee bit longer. 

Its also acceptable to gamble and lose any future value so long as you aren't doing it every single time and every type of player. i.e. Cameron Polson.  Hes either up to it, or hes out at the end of this year.

One last bit of food for thought.  Would we lose anything, by hanging onto Mckay, and playing him in place of Levi next season?

If the answer is yes, then you trade him for what you can get and move on.  If the answer is no, then you keep him, and next season give him the task of dislodging Levi to win his spot in the team.  If he does it, hes in.  If not, then hes out.
