A bigger deal out west.
I would say by all of our moves we're firmly going for the refresh. You still want to hold onto your genuinely good players, so I'm happy to retain Smith, and Brouch. After all, we need to win some games next year just to help with morale, and the kids development.
That said, we've cut pretty deeply this off season with 7-8 gone who were in and around our best 22, and it's most likely a two season process to cut everyone we want to so Lynch/Gibbs are most likely gone next year. They can wait, as otherwise, we're just digging through really late picks to replace them.
Laid down way too easy for Greenwood. Keath disappointing but can just about accept with focus on next year's compo. Others fine.
Bigger picture though, there was talk about Laird, Smith and Crouch (x2) going. We've only lost one definite best 22 and it remains to be seen how much better than alternative he'll be without Talia behind him. Whatever you think of Cornes at least he makes this point rather than rubbish about exodus, turn out the lights stuff that Barrett/McClure come out with.

is this the end of the Trades, Swap Picks, and Delistings
So we wait for the Nat Draft or WAIT there's More if so would some explain what's next
My head can't take to much more (Bring on the Pre Seasoning Training)
and Heaps of GYM work for Jones,McHenry,Sholl,Davis,Mcadam,Butts,Murphy,Hamill,
The all could do with a extra 5kg on.

Yep, completely spot on, 100% agree with all of these. We were CLEARLY the second worst club in the trade period for 2019. [/sarcasm]

Our oldest half dozen players are...
Mackay 31
Gibbs 30
Sloane 29
Walker 29
Lynch 29
Talia 28
Crouch b&f 25
If Gibbs gets back to somewhere near his average, and Mackay plays as the experienced SANFL player... That does not look too bad to me.
Compare it to Geelong...
Ablett 35
Taylor 33
Selwood 31
Hawkins 31
Jenkins 30
Touhy 29
Dangerfield b&f 29

With snifter of brandy in hand a night of deep contemplation was had. Overall would've liked to get more in return, namely in the Keath and Greenwood trades, but we did what we had to do I guess. Sent the elderly and incontinent on their way. Made some space in our cap possibly shaping up for a shot at Grundy next year. Not thrilled but I'm at ease with trade period. Twas but the recession we had to have... or some s**t

Never though I’d say this, but kornes is 100% better to listen to than McClure and Barrett, his opinions are unbiased compared to those other 2
As many hav me already said, it’s hard to accurately assess anyway until we have our final draft order.
Little doubt there will be some additional pick swapping to come. Even so, our current draft hand ranks #2 which is pretty good.
By the time our new draftees come in our average will have plummeted.

Why the hell didn’t we hold out on Keath
If all we could get was a 3rd rounder for him then I would’ve held out, but for a 2nd it seems fair

I dont feel we are rebuilding just refreshing.
If rebuilding Tex, Sloane, Talia, Smith, laird would of been for sale...
It’s not a second. The second we got will very closely be matched by the third we gave away. We couldn’t even manage to give the future fourth rounder back instead of the third. That’s pathetic.
Couldn't possible judge it at this stage, given we have traded out known quantities for draft picks (to which none of us are privvy to draft strategy). 5 picks within the top 50 young players in the draft could be excellent long term, 5 young guys all developing together.
The best 3 picks we have we already had. The best we brought in was 37. We added very average picks, the chances of them being the elite talent we need are very remote.
Would we take Gould at 23?
Clearly the strategy was to offload the players we did for whatever we could get our hands on. Can't judge players we haven't picked up yet though
Yes Geelong are really old.
If we pick DMac Lynch Gibbs every game we will be almost as old

Picks swaps can continue to happen any time from now right up until (and during) the draft.
Delistings can still happen... I'm not sure what the cut off for those are, but I assume it has to be in time for those players to nominate for the draft.
Delisted free agents can still sign with clubs - again, I'm not sure exactly when that starts / finishes.

It's not like there is a thread up the top of this forum with all that info in it or anything...
Are you thinking of the Jenkins trade? We definitely got a second round pick for Keath. The steak knives (our 2020 third rounder for their 2019 third rounder) is a tie at worst, and is arguably in our favour.
