@traderadio How much better are they than this year. 2026 = 10 wins. Does Marshall and organic improvement of their young/prime players get them to 13 and finals? If not Ross may not be there for 2028.
@Observer_AFL As Essendon knocked back three first rounders for Merrett, I don't think the Crows would have enough first round picks to get the deal done.
@PaulZauch I think the understanding is easy. It's not a great system and leads to inconsistencies. Hawthorn lose Buddy and get pick 19, the following year they get James Frawley and Demons get pick 3. However, teams at the bottom should be better compensated than teams at top.
