News Gone: Hugh Greenwood traded to Gold Coast for 2020 3rd, 4th round picks

[hey shorty]

Suns are on their knees, have been raped of talent, have a worse go home factor than us and have no need to play nice. The reason that the PSD doesn't get used is because when a club like Gold Coast approach a negotiation with a take it or leave it attitude, you take the pineapple or you get nothing. I'd have not been concerned if we got nothing on principle, but I understand why we've accepted what was on offer. There was no getting more from them, it's that simple.

It's a fair point you raise, I was also happy to take nothing on principle.

Watch us trade that 2020 3rd with Keath for a pick in the 30s.

Effectively trading Greenwood and Keath for pick 32 or something like that

Can only think it's sort of a salary dump (well what it would cost to keep him).

GC probably offering 5-600k a year? We're a couple of years away from doing anything relevant, no point tying up that much cap space in a guy that won't be here (or at the level) when it matters.

Potentially tough times ahead so we will need extra dollars to retain youth and players who will contribute on the other side of the rebuild who will be very gettable during this period.

I'd say he's not worth that much $$$ and picks combined to the Suns, but if they can get him for a steal the length and dollars make sense for them. Once he chooses GC, he pretty much gets there, players have all of the power.

Would have obviously liked a bit more.

Greenwood wasn't on much to say it's a salary dump

So i guess if Greenwood only a 3rd rounder in the clubs eyes, we will jump at a pick in the 50s for Keath

Greenwood a third, Keath is a second

that's how it will play out

Sounds like we are a way a way from that trade.

Yep, couldn't find the words, dumping the amount it would have cost to keep him. I don't think he's worth that much to us across the next couple of years.

So Hawthorns list managers who was pushing Ben to nominate them rather than us are nuffies. You should flick them an email and offer them your services.

the same ones who overlooked him in the draft allowing us to get him in rookie draft?

At least the doggies don't have the threat of the PSD to fall back on. Unlikely he'd still be there by the time their pick rolls around.

 

[dogs105]

On this year's finishing positions, equates to same points as pick 27-28.

If they rated him so highly, why didn't they take him?

They had plenty of opportunities, especially in the rookie draft after we elected to let him slide there.

 

[BACCS]

Love the highlights Hugh brings, but he just couldn’t sustain this for long enough at afl level here, hopefully finds success at the Suns. Need to start using McAdam in his role up forward instead and Galucci/McHenry through the midfield.

 

[Crow till I die]

So ellis yolman leaving an an unreztructed free agent nets us just about the same as greenwood gets us in a trade.

I wonder whether the club put up a garage sale sign at that meeting with the clubs back in august...or did they just simply put tags on our players with a caption reading 'anything over a dollar,..FFS

 

[ams4crows]

Gold cost arent even going to use the picks they gave us.... they got him basically for free, a week of negotiations for a packet of chips. Jesus and I thought we'd turned a corner

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Furious we let him go for peanuts. Should have squeezed a second out of bitch coast

 

[GetInMyVanBerlo]

ew

 

[Scorpus]

If this is how we rate Greenwood, our rating system is wrong

 

[jackster83]

Shocking trade.

We have.

It was a long corner to turn though, we've only just started

 

[WaynesWorld19]

On this year's finishing positions, equates to same points as pick 27-28.

Stop with the facts ....we're too busy being outraged

 

[skittlebrew]

GC have picks coming out of every orifice.

Surely we could've done better...

 

[hey shorty]

GC have picks coming our of every orifice.

Surely we could've done better...

They've got a bigger rebuild

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Shocking trade.

Had to be this years picks ....next year, takes care of itself ....most clubs do trades in the year, to accumulate th points for father/sons

 

[1990crow]

Fits in with most of our clubs poor recent record really. Nothing has changed.

 

[MonkeyMagik]

we've really loaded up on that 2020 4th round. must be some rippers expected to slide through to the back end...

 

[ad victoriam]

No they don't, at best it's a mid 30s pick if Gold Coast finish last and there's a few free agency compensation picks

Depends of where Gold Coast finish if they finish last those picks can be worth 690 points, add 197
for discount and we looking at 887 = pick 21
