Now that's the type of deal that should take a while to complete. Not a simple pick 26 trade.

Brisbane get bent over, port get their man and GWS get a handy little finders fee for facilitating.

rarely do you get a 3 team deal where all parties come out equally well though
 
Just looking at this quickly, I think it's absolutely horrible for Brisbane. A couple of small pick upgrades for getting rid of Polec? Come on...


Yep royaly screwed.

GWS made out like bandits.

For essentially downgrading their second rounder to a higher second rounder (7 picks higher), the downgraded their second round pick 8 slots into a mid first rounder.

Longer, 7 and 34 for 25, 41 and Trent Dennis-Lane.

Harsh but fair.

seriously, what the hell happened in that trade room? How did port come out with the better of GWS' picks?
 
This deal is probably marginally better for us than the Docherty deal, which might even be better than the Yeo and Longer deals.

The rest of the league knows we have nothing to bargain with, and are circling like vultures.

We do, however, have a big chunk of leftover salary cap to play with next season, so hopefully certain clubs might find themselves on the other end of a targeted raid 12 months from now.

Players seeing an exodus like this aren't likely to be clamouring to head up there

Maybe not, but say if we offered a player from a particular club a higher than market value salary, they might turn around to their own club and demand that to stick around.

I think there's a perception that we're too weak to retaliate in any meaningful way. It might be true, but it might not be twelve months from now.
 
THE POLEC DEAL

Port Adelaide
In: Pick 21 (from GWS), Pick 45, Jared Polec (from BL)
Out: Pick 14, Pick 34

Brisbane Lions
In: Pick 22 (from GWS), Pick 34 (from PA), Pick 48 (GWS)
Out: Pick 29, Pick 45, Jared Polec

GWS Giants
In: Pick 14 (from PA), Pick 29 (from BL)
Out: Pick 21, Pick 22, Pick 48

still horrible for the Lions...why give GWS pick 29?
