I was just doing some post trade/draft analysis and will be interested to see, going forward how Hickey develops. In hindsight (being a wonderful thing), we could have well selected Brodie Grundy with this pick.
Again, a lot of things change/develop over the course of pre-trade/draft so whether we were a realistic chance to secure Grundy we will never know but I will be interested to see which way both careers head.

Re: Pick 13 for Tom Hickey...
yeah id rather white and hickey anyday!
well we'll see. lol!
hickey at the very least has proved he is half way there. the other two may not even play a game. Not easy playing AFL. Go through the top 20 drafts many fail only playing a hndful of games ... and they were given out of sheer pride from the club

Re: Pick 13 for Tom Hickey...
Sure, Grundy seems very impressive, and most likely will be... however, as OP'ers have pointed out, did anyone, anywhere, predict that he'd make to pick 12/13, let alone pick 19...?dragit wrote:You would have to throw in White aswell… White & Hickey vs Grundy would be the theoretical question.
I am very happy with the Hickey and 'Buddy' White choice.
