It's a fine line.
I've been flagging this for a while with recruiting kpps as we have no depth and talent coming through and that it will come back to bite us. Smalls are a bit easier to come across and fluke one later in the draft.
That being said, the best way to improve your list, and quickly, almost overnight even, is to win a flag. Then everyone becomes.better and more sought after from opposition. Everyone becomes more valuable at the trade table.
You can then use that currency to target needs from the opposition.
If marchbank wins a flag with us he'll get us a good pick/player via trade. If he doesn't, he may be desisted for nothing. Ditto Cuningham.
That's how you rebuild a list.
That's how you attract free agents as well.
But..you gotta win it first. Runners up and top 4 have benefits too, but just not as many.
