Bluemour Melting Pot XX - Snark Free Zone

Here is my thoughts on the way the day pans out.

Kelly & 36 to the Eagles for picks 14, 24 and their 2020 first-rounder.

Pick 24 to the Saints for Steven

Pick 24 to the Swans For Jones (maybe something else from the Saints as well?)

Papley and pick 24 to the blues for 9 and 41 (?)

Pick 24 to the Suns for Martin

Near enough is good enough on step 1, hopefully it sets pick 24 away on its journey.

It can easily be argued that they should have coughed up last year.

I don't think they had the currency to Satisfy them last year. They wanted a top 10 pick for Kelly (if memory serves me right). There first pick was Pick 28 and 2019 First Rounder (Pick 14). To be fair he wasn't that established compared to now.

 

[Gavstar]

How can they not help? They have currency to go after whoever they want now.

To clarify, Cats hitting the draft won't help! Using as trade currency is the only thing of value to them for the next few years.

People are fixed with prior trades as a benchmark and these stupid points rating.

West Coast are on the doorstep of a flag. They’ve identified that JK has 12 months left in him before he’s done. Kelly makes a huge difference to their team, especially after losing Rioli.

They win the flag next year and all they have Geelong is worth it.

Claiming west coast got reamed is ludicrous.

Geelong got a whole heap of picks but they’ve gone backwards with the loss of Kelly.

It’s about flags people, not point ratings of picks

The one gif image I have carefully plucked out of the library to describe the thread is...

It’s worth it for west coast, they’re in the flag window just like Richmond and Tom Lynch...

What say you ferrisb?

If I ended up self-employed, I'd hate my boss....

I know they’re procrastinating, because regardless of the length of the trade period, the vast majority of trades get pushed until the last day or two. They’re all just working to the deadline.

If you’re haggling over trade value for 48 hours, how much is going to change after that time? But there’s no incentive to get the deals done until they have to be.

Why does it matter? Trade period is about getting deals done, not satiating fans desires for immediate results. The deadline is used as a negotiating tactic.

If anything it should be longer. Then clubs would be able to officially discuss deals instead of pretending no discussion happens before then.

Do yourself a favour, delete facebook

I did 18 months ago.

one level of narcissism removed from my life. Never had IG. Still a twit (happily admit any aspect of that one wishes to take)

 

[reg_lower91]

The Kelly trade may very well kick off our trade period. Something like this:

Pick 9 & 2020 2nd rounder to geelong for picks 14 & 17

Picks 14 + 43 & 2020 third rounder to Sydney for papley, picks 25 & 62

Pick 25 for Martin

Later pick for betts

IN: pick 17, 62, papley, Martin

OUT: pick 9, 43, 2020 2nd rounder, 2020 3rd rounder

Note: I’m not saying the swapping of picks will be exactly as per above but would be along those lines.

Would leave us pick 17 & 2020 first rounder to have another crack elsewhere

 

[bmaurizio]

Hot tip... its a fb page. So id run with no

As long as we receive either Brander or midfielder I’m ok with that if the youngster as a genuine pressing situation, w3 too may skinny lightweights as it is losing one won’t hurt.

 

[Omega Blue]

You mean for doing his job? And informing his client of all possibilities? No, no I don't.

I read it as more, Papley picked us and Lucas tried to sway him otherwise

Huge signing for West Coast.

Imagine if NicNat gets back to his best.

Scary midfield.

 

[ESKIE]

Wow

Pick 9 & 2020 2nd rounder to geelong for picks 14 & 17

Would Geelong seriously do that...

From Twitter :-

West Coast Receive: Tim Kelly, Picks 57 & 2020 3rd Rd

Geelong Receive: Picks 14, 24, 37 & 2020 1st Rd

Essendon involved in this deal, the Bombers moved picks 37 & 52 for 33 & 57

Latest Trade Radio caller...

"Hey guys, so it looks like Daniher and Fantasia will be going, just wondering what you think they'd be worth in terms of picks or trades?"

Holy. ****ING. SHIT!

That's been 60% of the discussion for the best part of a week, stop bloody well asking them!

No way the pay 24 for Steven

Wow

Pick 9 & 2020 2nd rounder to geelong for picks 14 & 17

Would Geelong seriously do that...

I mean, do they do a rebuild now or go all in?

 

[Red_man2008]

Wow

Pick 9 & 2020 2nd rounder to geelong for picks 14 & 17

No. Someone like saints would offer up 6 for that deal. Even Melbourne at 3.

No way you give pick 6 or 3 outright for 14 and 17.

 

[cfc4life]

You'd think Cats would hold onto pick 14 to start their rebuild.

 

[Arr0w]

You seem reasonable enough to understand the angst it causes the other way.

Kinda catch22 or a big fish mystery.

So best to say nothing

No chance Melbourne do that

Big IF.

Good luck and I hope he does but I bet WC have insurance.
