Not if it's been mentioned elsewhere but why did we swap picks with Richmond?
Did we think they would pick Bianco? and if so why would they swap with us?

At our next selection however he was clearly the highest rated player left according to many in the media and a welcome bonus given he was rated around the 20 mark by some.
If the knock on him that lead to his slide was his height and the perception of him being one paced then hopefully his footy smarts and dual sided ability will give him the time and space required to make up for any physical short comings that could be exposed at AFL level. |
The way it appeared to me watching on the TV was that we weren’t fussed whose name we called out first. It was a case of Hine wanting both players and Ned Guy manning the phones to make sure it happened. |

 From all the liinks, Thanks Stui. You get the impression Bianco could develop into a good player for us! Apart from being a pies supporterI like the way he has been judged leadership material being captain. and seems to be a worker, that should help develop his defensive game. So lets all cross our fingers, well some day we will be shouting. Black and!!! Bianco is white in italian! |

Worried about another club trading with the tigs, so that they held the pick before us? |

One way to look at it is that if Richmond weren’t overly interested in Bianco, then they managed to bluff a little something extra from us ( late future pick ?? )
I reckon the Tigers initiated the conversation and said something like we aren’t sure who were going to pick next but Bianco is on our short list. If you give us something a little extra for moving you up one spot, you can then have Bianco ( and they would know we want him ) and we will then go with our other option.
The tigers had already picked Dow with their first pick, so I doubt if they thought they needed another similar type. I’m only going from memory here but I think Ralphsmith was Tigers next pick and he’s a very different type to Bianco.
Win, win. |

Thanks guys, it seems that whether it was us or them initiating the swap in the end we wanted him and made sure of it. |

| Surely with a last name like Bianco his first name should be Tony?It just goes together so well. |
