If our first round pick is somewhere around 13-18 (from Adelaide), would you consider using that on a good mature aged midfielder rather than another 18 year old kid?
Surfie, Think it was Raydan or Krud who suggested we get involved in the Kelly deal by offering our first rounder to help make it happen...
I think most recruiters are reluctant to give away their 1st rounder unless its a real big deal for a proven player/players....I might be wrong but we also
may not have a second round pick from memory and given we dont have much to trade I think manipulation of that 1st rounder for picks/players will be super important.
Those mature aged mids/players are the ones you like to pick up with rubbish picks or free..
Adam Tomlinson is a free agent and if I was trading my first pick for whatever reason I would like to get a player of his quality for free to compensate or hedge my investment in trading that
1st rounder.
