Cripps is so over rated, hes slow and his kicking is average.

I take it you missed Carlton v Adelaide earlier in the year. About Q3.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Hagdorn reporting this morning that Connor Blakely will most likely be traded to the Gold Coast.

Fair probability to be bullshit then, let’s be fair

They have 24 and 35. Would be happy with either

If it does happen what about 24 AND 35, with 28 + Future 3rd going back. Equals pick ~45ish.

We get 10,24,35 + 350 points.

Weller is almost the exact type we are missing now (assuming he could find midfield form).

He's no Andy though.

True. But they need someone who wants to be there and make a commitment.

 

[Cobbler]

Peter Wright anyone?

Blakely for Wright plus whatever pick exchanges or upgrades pending which side of the fence you’re on.

Gold Coast get a mature body ready to go midfielder to spend time in their 2nds.

We get that much needed (apparently) forward/ ruck option depth should we have injuries to Lobb, Darcy at the same time.

Win-win?

 

[paccraig]

One of Melbourne journo's tweeted Blakely to Collingwood last week. Not sure if mentioned, or true. But anyway

 

[Paracleet]

Weller. A decent player, but no he was not worth the trade then or now.

That is not great, but Suns and Giants have other issues regarding lists. Of course the big irony is that Brayshaw is looking like a leader and a loyal player.

Handy. Delist Meek, and pick up Wright. Can’t go wrong with him. Be good for structure

Never was a pick 2. Gold Coast got starry eyed that anyone, anyone at all, preferred Gold Coast given the state they’re in.

 

[Kram]

They overpaid a fair bit but given where the club was its kind of understandable. There's been far worse trades.

Plays strongly when Gold Coast are on top otherwise is mostly fine. The expansion clubs don't value draft picks the same way other clubs do because they get so many of them. Huge cost for most clubs chump change for them.

 

[yyou]

Given our track record surely we are now offering 2 first round draft picks & $1.5m per year for Brad Crouch

with the latest news about him it seems he might be a wc target.

 

[Tbonefreo]

I was harsh on Brayshaw at the start of the year, but he put together an extremely solid season. He should have a breakout year next year.

I just love a player that can tackle.

Everyone conveniently forgets that we gave then a 2nd round that they picked up Charlie Ballard with

So Brayshaw vs Weller + Ballard looks a lot better for them

50/50 really

Andy will cover both comfortably over the journey.

Word around town is he's ( wright ) on 600k with 2 yrs to go

The trade they did with West Coast was worse.


Pick 50, West Coast Eagles’ 2018 first-round pick traded from West Coast Eagles to Gold Coast Suns for picks 21, 26, 37, Gold Coast Suns’ 2016 second-round pick.

Eaglea got a pick downgrade the following year. Incredible stuff

Maybe , don't mind Ballard

Was a third rounder, pick 40 something.

 

[freodog]

I think the trade was worth it for them.

Picks have never been a problem for them. Keeping & attracting players has been. And an opportunity to but a flag in the ground and bring a player to the club they had to do.

Weller is a good player and still plenty of upside. Brayshaw is good but we should have gone for the trade GC were wanting to do which ended up going to WC. We could have ended up with 2 of Oscar Allen, Tim Kelly & Liam Ryan.

Don't think so , something in the early 20's I think

Agree that the trade was worth it for GC. Disagree we should have gone for a couple of later picks.

 

[wayToGo_]

Don't think so

It was pick #41. Ended up being #42 for Ballard. So 3rd rounder.

The trade was a win win.

the TRADE was obviously way in our favour, if they've picked a handy player with a pick in the 40's then good for them but that's a matter of drafting not trading.
