I'd rather Laverde to be honest.
Hope we don't take the hyphen at 30.
I'd be underwhelmed with this outcome.

I'm over all the conjecture now tbh, lets get this over with.
Agree - De Goey seems the more Likely to make a Impact in his 1st few seasons and still develop into a very good player.

Long term, I sense that Laverde could become the better player, but De Goey looks like he could have an impact at senior footy almost immediately. Who knows which way we'll go, but I guess that's why Derek (I never smile) Hine is paid the big bucks.
Exaclty my thoughts. We essentially traded Beams for Pick 15. What a jip of a draft year.cityslick1 wrote:...& is anyone else feeling frustrated that in all of this the guy picked at 15 or 20, be it Ahern, Weller, Lamb, Wright or Steele could easily end up trumping our 5th pick in a few years. I wanted a guaranteed gun as part of the trade for Beams, whilst there seems to be a lot less security at 5, & more evenness between 5 - 20 than in the past.
The draft always has a level of uncertainty attached to it. Will be years before we actually know what the order should have been. Having pick 5 means we at least get the first crack at those 5-20 options so we make our own destiny.Raw Hammer wrote:Exaclty my thoughts. We essentially traded Beams for Pick 15.

If we end up with DeGoey, Greenwood and Crisp for Beams, it's a good deal to me. It doesn't matter what point in the draft we pick up DeGoey, whether it's pick 5 or pick 30. Only matters to me that we have a long term replacement for Beams.jackcass wrote:The draft always has a level of uncertainty attached to it.

By the same token, I think you're underselling the value of Greenwood and Crisp in the Beams deal. Hopefully they'll add some immediate return while we wait for pick 5 to develop. Let's see how it plays out over the next season or 2 before we get too down on the trade.
