Think it would make more sense to swap into next year draft, give us more ammunition for a free agent/trade push next year.

so was I....
Shows the comp that GCS(AFL) can screw you, even in the PSD.
And they get to use us as the example. Nice little bonus for them.

Not sure that is true, if they have offered him a contract.

Next year's draft highly compromised with Academy picks, Father Sons etc apparently. If this is the case, it might devalue somewhat.
Yep and can run in the derby on Nov 2 and cup on Nov 5.....
We will get him in the Calcutta in between.....

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
(In hindsight, we probs should have taken the 1st round and 3rd round pick on offer and made off like bandits!!)
Lol you're not wrong there. But hey, that was our Football Club back then. Lots of terrible decisions.

H-hey guys, is it safe to come back yet? Has normal, rational discussion at least mostly resumed?
In no way am I potting b70's rumours. But I'm genuinely curious as to what changed from these two posts. From his confidence, I'm sure there would've been some sort of handshake agreement or essentially an agreement between us and the Swans, or negotiations were looking amazing at the time.

Bluemour Melting Pot XX - Snark Free Zone
Freo have Pick 7 and Pick 6 if the Saints give it for Brad Hill. Freo can pick up his contract if he somehow slides to Pick 6? Wouldn’t get past the Dees at 3, even then GC would have a very hard choice at 1+2. Fantasy stuff though.

Bluemour Melting Pot XIX - Give Me Ed Baby - Return of the Prodigal Son
Carlton: 8 & 39 & 2020 2nd = Papley, pick 23 Syd: Pick 8 & 2020 1st = Daniher & 29 Carlton: 23 > Martin Simples Remove the pick 39 too much. They need 2020 picks. It will be Carlton: Papley, Pick 23 Sydney: Pick 8 & 2020 2nd (or 3rd if we are lucky) Pick 23 for Martin

But what if Melbourne carry out the threat to pick Martin before us in the PSD.......apparently bloody David Schwarz has been saying on radio all afternoon that Martin is gone bluebaggers because the Dees are waiting to pounce!!!
I know but you take a bigger risk of missing out as a few other clubs could take him
In the PSD
GC- Would have to be some huge reconsiliation and if Martin puts a bounty on his head for a year, they could lose him for next to nothing as a FA a year later
Demons - They aren't sitting at 95% of their cap, so they can't match a sizable offer

people don't understand our burden, kophi&naan………..I'm a simple man my friend. I've had to make my way in life on nothing but my strong, Antonio Banderas like looks, chiseled jawline and superior love making ability.
I'll take your word for it.

You know what I’m most upset about this whole trade period? Missing out on McDonald-Tipungwuti. SOS really screwed the pooch on that one.

Coniglio, Papley and Martin the first time round were all LOCKS to come to Carlton.
Love to see us get Martin for nix but I’ll believe it when I see it thank u very much.

Fat lot of good "taking a stand" will do - they will end up losing the player for zero gain. It's chest beating, and that shit doesn't get you anywhere long term. Need no more evidence than if we pick up Martin for nothing.
What do you mean by the commercial landscape for players?
We offered a future 2nd and 3rd for Martin and pick 9 for Papley. Both deals fell through. We could have conceivably traded in Papley with pick 9 and a future 2nd and drafted Martin in the PSD and have ended up better off by retaining our future 3rd. So even though in isolation we would have paid too much for Papley, it’s a clear win overall.
Unsure if it’s been posted, but Cochrane is infuriating.

there's being tough and then there's just being a dickhead.
Also notice SOS is always very careful with his words to be respectful of the other clubs, whereas cochrane had no problem giving us a backhander publicly. Tool.

Technically Papley could still be a blue next year
just a shame it won’t be anytime before September 🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.
Unless this is the first season you have ever followed football, there is no excuse for getting angry when a trade falls through. Only a fool would assume any insider rumours are guarantees. There's nobody to blame but yourself for buying into it before the actual "sale" happens.

in fact they can re-tool "we are carlton, **** the rest" and keep it...………..
As per numerous posters, both Gold Coast and Sydney reneged on previously agreed upon deals. Also, even though everybody knows Dodo is a flog, nobody expected him to be stupid enough not to take Sydney's massive overs for Daniher.

Alright I’m tired but is this sarcasm or not?
But when can the pick swap take place?...........on draft night or what?
