Traded #27: Jonathan Giles - Traded to The West Coast with pick 62 for pick 57

[yaco55]

A GOOD trade. At least we know that Giles can do a decent job in the ruck.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

2 years in a row we seem to have made pretty amicable deals with GWS. Hopefully that serves us well going forward.

Cameron and Shiel coming out of contract next year, if our past dealings are anything to go by we should snag both of them for a late 3rd rounder

 

[Zach Package]

Extremely handy footballer for a bargain basement price, makes losing he who must not be named so much easier.

Welcome Jonno, I hope you tunnel the s**t out of Ryder next year

 

[Philzsay]

The way I see it we have downgraded whatshisname to Giles and in return received Cooney and a upgrade of pick from 53 to 17, as well as hopefully saved a little bit of salary cap space.

Of course I would have liked more, but it's now time to move on, have been angry enough for the last month over this.

 

[Shermy]

Good to see the Butler in the red sash.
Now to get Tinkerbell and him working well together.

 

[RearNaked]

If he shirt fronts cockface when we play the tarps (illegally of course) he will be my new favorite player haven't had one since Lloyd retired

Mine was Ryder, awk.
Auditions time for BPB's favourite player are up.

Really rate Giles.. thought he was unlucky when Mumford came in and took that top spot away from him.

Has absolutely lessened the blow of losing Ryder for mine.. Now have two very capable AFL ready ruckmen around 25-26 age group.. ready to shine.

2015 here we come!!

Indeed!

And hopefully a massive year for Cooney

Probably lose Heppell to Carlton for pick 30 in the process

Card please, mods?

I've done enough today thanks.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Wrapt with this.

Take the night off

Came a lot cheaper than I thought he might (a few weeks ago).

We have two legitimate number 1 rucks now, but I need to be convinced that they can play together.

GWS only played Giles #1 when they had to, he's much better as a forward/ruck/bench 60/30/10 split, like Bellchambers will presumably be better as a 70/20/10 ruck/forward/bench split.

I know we disagree, just worrying about sides running the ball too easily out of our F50 when the ball hits the deck. We could be fielding a very slow 22 next season with Bellchambers, Giles, Carlisle, Watson, Heppell, Goddard, Hocking, Chapman, Howlett, Stanton...

 

[JDavey]

This was a great trade for us, even if we didn't lose Ryder.

Giles is underrated by the general football community IMO. Is a great addition to the squad.

Yeah, I'm worried about that as well. I have a faint feeling Carlisle will be instructed to play a roaming role up the ground.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Can't believe how cheap he came. A 9 pick downgrade in the 3rd round, where they are all mainly speculative picks anyway.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Shaun Hampson for a 2nd rounder.

Jon Giles for a 9-pick downgrade in the 3rd round.

[eth-dog]

Any idea what number he'll get? 7, 13 (Long), 25, 29, 30, 33, 34, 37*, 42, 44 will al presumably be available. I have a feeling it'll be 44.

*Chance of getting rookie listed

 

[ghostdog]

Welcome to EFC, John Giles. Looks like Ragnor Lothebruk?

 

[RearNaked]

Zerrett gets higher number and 27 goes to Giles

 

[Philzsay]

It's because it was GWS. Any other Club and it would have cost more.

If you look at their picks they now have 4, 6, 7, 23 and 24 (24 being an academy pick). Then Pick 80 so they will most likely be finished at Pick 23.
The only use they had for any picks after the second round was to re-trade them as part of other deals, which they did with Melbourne.

We do seem to have a good relationship with GWS, which is rather ironical considering SOS is their list guy!

Maybe he feels a... touch... bad for us?
