How bout you come up with a top 4 side minus a top draft selection? You can't, because it doesn't happen. Facts are we need top picks right now cause we aren't good enough - what we are really arguing about is the best way to get them. You feel securing wins over lowly opposition is worth more than us getting maximum reward from the draft from finishing lower. I don't (how's that for foresight!!!). I think right now our need to stock pile THE BEST talent we can is the priority. You acknowledge the best way to do this via the draft is through a top pick...... at least I've educated you on one front. Of course a top pick has better chance than 43 - it took a while to get that through....I don't need examples to prove this and only a troll would ask for one
Let's face facts you argue a point not cause you have a point but because you have nothing else. The amount of threads on this site where you hijack the opinion of another is testament to that. This site isn't even about footy to you - it's sadly about you and your pathetic attempts at passing off a critique of others views as something you mustered yourself.
By the way, it's an online fan forum genius..... words is all any of have.... my favourite is ......meh!!
Why would I come up with a top 4 side minus a top draft selection? I have never said you don't need them. I have argued with you about this magical top 5 pick. I have said big deal if it 7 or 8 so there you go. You use example like would you rather a top pick or pick 43 and claim a victory when I say it is obvious which one you want. Surely that is loss to you if you claim a victory on that.
And I argue points with facts. You have nothing at all except some stupid example that proves nothing. Just for you Teffers I have gone through the last flag winners since 2008. I didn't know what a top pick meant but seen as you are fascinated with a top 5 pick I looked at all the sides that have won from 2008 and have taken down the numbers of top 5 picks on their list in those years. I used facts. Either traded or drafted top 5 picks.
2008 Hawks 3
2009 Geelong 1
2010 Pies 4
2011 Geelong 1
2012 Sydney Nil
2013 Hawks 3
2014 Hawks 2
Yep apart from Sydney they all had top 5 picks even though Geelong had only one and the Hawks lost one last year and still did it easy. By the way Teffers we had 5 in 2009 and lost. Yep 5.
Also teffers I decided to do a few sides down the bottom this year and how many top 5 picks they have.
Saints 3
Melbourne 4
Carlton 3
So the question is Teffers how many top 5 picks do you need to win or get up the ladder. Apparently Port went up to early but Geelong and Sydney never went down and the pies and Hawks only went down for 2 or 3 years. It seems from the facts that it isn't top 5 picks that win you the flag but great picks in all parts of the draft.
So now after using facts to completely make your point look silly its time you got in front of the mirror and chanted 100 times to yourself I know nothing about how to build a side. Just chant that and you will feel better. Honesty is the best policy. Also I think you should now delete your account on here. Its a little embarrassing when people use facts to discredit and all you have is emotive words. No facts at all after 30 years of the draft to back up those emotive words.
Finally I hope we beat the Dees this week. Wouldn't that be good. Who knows we still might get pick 5 but we may get pick 7. Facts suggest in the long run it wont make a difference.
