For every success story there are plenty that don’t work out and leave you burned. But regardless, my point isn’t that speculative picks don’t work, it’s that too many is crazy given more fail than succeed and it can create a logjam in your side that is hard to correct.
More trades doesn’t mean unlimited flexibility, as I’ve said you can only use so many at once and it’s at a time where there is often better uses for them.
Additionally, they don’t just need to work as a stepping stone they also need to work at the right time. It’s never as simple as everything lining up perfect to trade them out in sequence or at peak.
But my overall point remains the same, starting very few keepers is asking for trouble as you basically need to nail majority successful break out players or you’re just committing too many trades ahead of time.

How many in the league? And how many on the field?
Depending on how much you value this year's glory vs setting you up for the future I'd probably pitch for a) someone younger (Butters/Brayshaw/Serong/Green maybe? Dawson is 27 this year) or b) a (comparatively youngish) ruck like English or Darcy.
Or pick Sheezel and you'll be laughing for years
