Hey Dean,
We all get very excited about trade period, but here’s a grounder – of the top 10 in club B&F’s (so 180 ‘best’ players from this season) how many are up for grabs? Only 1! Little Lachie Shultz. It’s shows it’s all about the fresh starts and potential which is what is exciting.– Tom
A very good point, Tom. This hasn’t been a year of big superstar moves, but more moves of untapped potential.
But as you say, isn’t that what makes the trade and draft fun? People get hooked on this stuff because we’re dealing in the currency of hope here. You sit through a whole season and at the end of it only a handful of clubs at most end up happy with what they saw. For fans of the rest, this is where you start to dream of a better future. Every draftee is the next club legend, every recruit the game-changer we’ve been waiting for.
I’ll never question sport fans for getting super into things like this, most of the time it’s way more fun than reality.
