Oppo Camp Discussion on other club's trade/draft decisions

[VDS66]

I just woke up in the 1980's when a Premiership club dumps all it's rejects on to us.

I was reading and have heard from inside of St. Kilda that hawthorn is pushing hard for the number 1 pick. They have apparently started with Cheney, Lowden, Shoey, Lowden and (Hallahan 50/50)
Im not saying its true but i think it fills a need in the saints and brings in players from a good culture

Throw in Clarko and we'll give you Richo as steak knives...

Bad memories there mate.
Out of Sheldon, Marcou, WoW Jones And McConville.
I thought we got decent service out of McConvile. And of course Sheldon coached our long awaited return to finals footy.
But dont get me started on drafting Ian Aitkin in the 90s

Are Essendon supporters real or make believe?

They keep calling up SEN and trade radio with the most demented comments…

It's every day, but just in one hour this morning:

• Demanding that the media apologise to the club now that everything has been sorted out and they have been found not guilty

• Wondering if they can force Ryder to GWS because they have offered a better pick

• Will Ryder lose at the grievance tribunal because GWS have offered pick 4

The last two hours are going to be huge I reckon.. Picks and players will be flying everywhere

Essendon have done pretty well getting Giles and Cooney for so cheap.

Gwilt, Cooney, Giles for cheap prices, Makes me wonder.. Getting ready for the player bans?

 

[Jack Stevens]

How is Giles only worth a 9 pick upgrade in the 50s, when Hampson was worth a second rounder last year?

Giles is a much better player than Hampson IMO

100%

Stockpiling the young guns in:
Gwilt, Giles & Cooney… can they land Mitch Robinson to completely ensure mediocrity for many years.

 

[dewah07]

Doesn't effect us but

Hallahan deal done for 47,49 to GC

The Giles trade was a favour between Giles and GWS for good service.

 

[felsty]

Jeez trades dropping, Biggs, Jones, Frost

CJ?

 

[sammm]

CJ?

Nup. Maybe freo will pick him up in the draft.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Hampson wins

Its kind of funny that Hampson looks a bit like Andy Lee.

So guys , you know who you are, if you share this look, and can beef up more than Hampson, or make more money than Lee or both , then you are in with a chance.

Come on, WOW Jones did ok for us. If he didn't get suspended we could have made finals or come very close.

Of the 28,000 posts on this and the Saints-related trading thread during the trade period, this was my favourite.

Because it was an obvious, dumb and crass troll?

I prefer to think he was sincere. Don't ruin my illusion.

 

[Nutsngum]

I am pretty sure that he posted that in the one of the threads in the trade forum so I think it was somewhat sincere.
