Probably not. Still some good KPP’s around that pick.JVR won’t make it to 19 now
It will be an extra 150k for a year and he will be in our best 22. Even with a future 2nd its a great deal. Its literally a pick upgrade and decent addition to the playing group

Who knows. Twomey had him at 26 in his rankings a week ago and he’s probably the most tapped in. From like you could fit like 40 players within the top 20 right now such an even draft. Maybe that means more drafting for needs and JVR going earlier as clubs look for keys.JVR won’t make it to 19 now
Darcy has only got one year to run on his contract and he’s good enough as depth in a weak area for us. Darcy and 19 for a future second is a win for us. Can get us two of Leek/Wilmot/JVR.
You are saying that as if we arent getting pick 19 as part of the dealIs he that good ? I actually am only going by his stats and the last two seasons he's been very poor and I for one doubt we'd trade him for a extremely early second round pick. I think we're smarter than that now.
He might turn out to be best 22 and hold his spot when we make our charge up the table. Currently though he aint worth that. I hope I'm right of course. Time will tell.

All this about the AFL not
Signing off on the deal as it’s lop sided. The AFL land scape has changed now with all this covid, and we’re start to follow the American models. As has been point out…. The suns traded a locked in future pick 11 to the cats for pick 27 on draft night. That’s insanely lop sided. The times have changed.
You really hold a grudge, don’t you.Do you know how they got all those picks?
Their first pick last year was pick 40 & have lost Higgins, Chol & now CCJ to get those picks.
It's a great hand, but was at the expense of 2 former top 20 picks & not touching the draft last year.
Yeah it is a tricky one i think looking at the last 2 season stats especially 20-20 season for obvious reasons. This year i suppose a little more but still many good reasons some players struggled with parts of their games. Not an excuse just a bit of food for thought maybe. Anyway if we end up with him the very best of luck to him. He has come to the right club if he wants success sooner rather than later.Is he that good ?

18 and 40 one can dream but seriously the dream is not far away guys and of course Gals.Yes I see your point and he's free to a good home. Screw them though he's kicked 6 goals in the last two seasons they want him gone, we'll take your second and give you #55 or some such.
looks great this year 1, 19,20. Next season say 4 & 40
I liken him to patch Adams, he’s a good get.Is he that good ? I actually am only going by his stats and the last two seasons he's been very poor and I for one doubt we'd trade him for a extremely early second round pick. I think we're smarter than that now.

I feel for the kid if this is the case. Imagine being a player that your club paid to get off their books, and your new club is just waiting to delist you or pay to retire. Good coin, yes, but could be devastating to a young person.I don't think the deal is that bad, tbh. It isn't as bad as what Collingwood went through last year and the AFL approved those trades despite it costing everyone's job at Collingwood.
GC gets a lot of their talent from the academy and they do not have to pay for their academy players, others can't bid on them, they don't have to match anything so them having an end of first round pick player is far less attractive than being able to hold on to their prime talent, like King. I am guessing they want the cap space for next year to bring forward some contracts to give them more scope to offer King some crazy money to stay.
If the trade is our future second, if we are anywhere remotely close to where we ended up this year, it is not going to be that far off. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a future 3rd if both parties consider MacPherson to be dead weight that isn't going to be on the list beyond 2022. If we actually value MacPherson and see him as valuable beyond 2022 then future second sounds more likely.
I think GC could easily sell it to the AFL. If they lose someone like King, it could start the dominoes from falling again.
If this is going anywhere we will have made an offer to him.I feel for the kid if this is the case. Imagine being a player that your club paid to get off their books, and your new club is just waiting to delist you or pay to retire. Good coin, yes, but could be devastating to a young person.

He would need to accept the offer before any trade is worked out.
If we offered say 2 years, maybe another club would offer more?
Im guessing GC have had a few phone calls from other clubs trying to get in on this.
This is de riguer for most professional sportsI feel for the kid if this is the case. Imagine being a player that your club paid to get off their books, and your new club is just waiting to delist you or pay to retire. Good coin, yes, but could be devastating to a young person.
Probably. But we would be offering more than 1 year imo.Isn’t it pretty common knowledge other sides don’t have much room

Well yeah I guess , where’s he from ?Probably. But we would be offering more than 1 year imo.
Or he would just stay with the GC.
