I understand what your saying nickname .Under Ron Fuller and the old regime thats what the Eagles did .Under "gods" and the new regime Eagles have gone out and recruited what they need.
Or in other words Eagles needed a CHB and signed one, eagles needed a midfielder/forward signed one etc etc.
In regards to players getting drafted.I bet your club(and any sanfl club) knew just as my club did. Which of their players junior or seniors had interest shown in them by AFL clubs.I certainly was told by club officials when interest from AFL teams had waned !
But that's only possible if the players you want to recruit are available or happy to commit before the drafts. If the guys you want are saying 'wait till after the drafts', do you suggest the club recruits lesser players?
And knowing which of your players have interest shown in them by AFL clubs has no bearing at all. Rankine trained with Freo, not drafted at all. Molitor and Sporn trained with Essendon, not drafted at all. Beech trained with Port, not drafted at all. You can't believe anything the AFL clubs tell you, you just have to wait for the drafts.
