lynch was on his second contract which was an increase from his first contract, and his first contract was that of a first-round draftee.
his replacement will be on a second-round draftee contract. at least 100k less.
...and pick 37? - I hope we've put some serious money into draft data and have a very good understanding of what we are getting around there.
notable picks between 35 and 40 in the last few years:
2010: Luke Parker to Sydney (13 games in one year)
2009: David Astbury to Richmond (22 games in two years)
2009: Sam Reid to Sydney (24 games in two years)
2009: Allen Christensen to Geelong (19 games in two years, premiership)
2008: Jamie Bennell to Melbourne (51 games in three years)
2008: Zac Clarke to Fremantle (21 games in three years)
2008: Mitch Robinson to Carlton (49 games in three years)
2007: Scott Thompson to North Melbourne (72 games in four years)
2007: Chris Mayne to Fremantle (58 games in four years)
2006: Alwyn Davey to Essendon (69 games in five years)
2006: Todd Goldstein to North Melbourne (58 games in five years)
2006: Nathan Krakouer to Port Adelaide (53 games in five years)
some pretty solid players there. all you can do is get yourself early enough picks to give yourself a better chance at getting players.
