List Mgmt. All Trades and Draft Part 2- Draft edition

[frenchconnection]

All things being even, thats a flag winning team.

Remember you guys win the flag in 2020, it doesnt matter what Kelly costs you.

Think of the Dogs with Boyd in 2016. Its worth it.

Don't forget Sheed as well - our winning champ in our 2018 flag

We are just fine to miss out on the top end of this and next years drafts

 

[frenchconnection]

If it is true, Geelong is laughing as they gain 2 x 1st round pick just by selling an UNCONTRACTED player!

The thing is though you have to give to be able to receive otherwise very much doubt as to whether the trade would have ever eventuated.

 

[frenchconnection]

All our eggs are in the TK basket now.
If it doesn't yield a flag, we're in for a world of hurt. And there's some seriously strong teams gunning for the flag, so I don't understand why people interpret the TK trade as a guaranteed flag?

And yes, you're right. Pick 24 probably won't land us a TK quality player. But 14 + future 1st + 24 + 33 is also potentially our next Brander, OAllen, Ryan & Petch haul.

There's never any guarantees in life but think we have a better chance with Kelly IN our side than out of it.

 

[Balls In]

Dylan82 ? BOND 007 ? Can one of you put me out of my misery? I got jitters in my nether regions and can't wait til tomorrow.

Perth Now reporting its a done deal, probably tomorrow. Picks 14, 24 and next years first rounder and some lower round picks coming back.

 

[DJMac]

We didn't exploit anything, lol. We were right to hold him, considering how he went to another level this year and netted us a higher return. We could argue that you guys exploited his situation to get him for less than his worth last year...and go through that whole cyclical argument again. I choose to view how both clubs acted this year, when he had every right to leave as he had served his contract.

Ablett was also rejected in his first time requesting a trade, and his sister then unfortunately passed on. Are GC monsters, or were they within their rights? Carlton held onto Gibbs, despite lure of home etc. We entertained the trade, but what you offered was less valuable than TK was to us (a fact proven during our semi final match up against you, his AA standing, and Top 5 Brownlow finish).

Regardless, you can hold a grudge, or you can move on. Even your mods agree that there was nothing wrong with holding onto him last year. It's done now.

I thought GCS were uncaring.

 

[eagles rule]

Any thoughts on how we went now

Any “failures” from the club with this proposed deal?

I`m stoked Buddy that we didn`t go the long drawn out saga , just fronted up and threw the Picks on the table to get a deal almost finalised now with only a few minor important items to sign off on .. ..

 

[Forward Press]

Would be incredibly disappointed if we end up giving 14, 24, 33 and next year's first to only receive back their 36 with kelly. That's a monumental trade in DVI terms. Probably the highest on record.

33 and 36 effectively cancel each other out.

So are you unhappy with 14, 24 and future 1st?

 

[Farang83150]

Perth Now reporting its a done deal, probably tomorrow. Picks 14, 24 and next years first rounder and some lower round picks coming back.

Is it due to the time difference that PN are so slow getting the news out!!

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Masto in talks with Fremantle ....this has been an interesting day .

Given they are losing their two wingmen in hill and Langdon it makes sense as a stopgap. Good luck to him.

 

[Shadow89]

I thought GCS were uncaring.

I tend to agree, but I don't think anyone knew the extent of the situation. Much like Geelong only made their decisions on the basis of TK having one autistic child. I feel if the diagnosis of the second child with autism had of taken place prior to trade period, then we would have been left with no choice but to trade him. The last time a first year player was traded, was back when Buckley was traded, and draft tampering rules and contracts were brought in in order to make sure those practices didn't carry on in the future.

It was a very unique circumstance, but only worsened after the fact. I'm very comfortable though with how both clubs (and TK) have handled this, in the aftermath. TK was exemplary this year. A trade looks to be done early, and TK himself is happy for both clubs and himself.

It doesn't get any better than that IMO.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

From the horse's mouth - the final confirmation that everyone was happy and no-one hates anyone.


"Van Der Wielen said Kelly was thrilled that Geelong would secure enough picks to stock up on future stars.

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir and football boss Peter Bell both met with Van Der Wielen last week but the Dockers were never really in the race for Kelly.

“Tim is a bit nervous because it’s not done until it’s done but he’s pretty comfortable with where it’s at.

“Tim will be quite happy Geelong are going to be rewarded. Tim wants Geelong to pick up 200-game players out of the picks they get and he can feel part of their resurgence. He hasn’t left them in the lurch. He has nothing against the Geelong footy club.”

The Kelly camp was adamant a deal should be brokered that was fair to both parties without Kelly having to threaten to enter the pre-season draft."

***************

Proof that everything else was speculation, and everyone moves on with no ill will. Perfect outcome.

And all the wells posturing was for the geelong fans benifit to not feel bent over

 

[frenchconnection]

Nah, it was more that I said not 5 minutes before the trade was revealed, that we should just take the picks and not get WC to do the heavy lifting to trade up for better picks. That it gets it done quicker, and everyone can move on.

Not 5 minutes later, that's exactly what happened.

Then you need to change your user name to Nostradamus lol

Masto in talks with Fremantle ....this has been an interesting day .

Getting an ex WCE coach and one of our Premiership players will help their culture and standards.

 

[KERRPOW]

I think 2 back end first round picks (assuming we finish top 6) and pick 24 is pretty reasonable for kelly.

 

[Biggie]

TK was exemplary this year.

100%

Very happy to have a man with that work ethic and respect playing for the Blue and Gold.

 

[eagles rule]

Gee, Clayton is used to having at least a dozen top 20 picks per year. The next two seasons are going to be a shock to the system!

Playing Finals in September would be a bigger shock to his system, I reckon ..

 

[Shadow89]

Then you need to change your user name to Nostradamus lol

It was tongue in cheek, lol. Was just a weird coincidence. No need for the eye rolls.

 

[archiemoses]

This is what happens when Scott Clayton is involved

 

[Animaluke]

Ok howdy folks, first time poster here. Assuming this Kelly deal goes through on we are taking either 33 or 36 to the draft as our first pick then who do you think we will target with that pick? Who might still be available? Cheers.

Deals not done, until the paperwork is signed. Never trust an angry pussy!

 

[Seadog]

But did they really or was that media speculation and Geelong supporters being hopeful. From my information Freo couldn't even get a discussion with them.

Freo played it straight, both WA clubs are pretty good and back off when a player nominates one club or the other.
