Traded Brandon Starcevich - traded to West Coast as part of a 3-way trade with Brisbane and Fremantle

From the perspective of a supporter a team not involved in the trade I'll predict the AFL giving a compensation pick 19 on the condition it has to are traded. That's what they did with North two seasons ago. Eg giving therm extra picks that had Ito be traded as extra draft concessions. Brisbane will get pick 19 then as compensation via a trade set up by the AFL.
 
Eagles won the flag in 2018. You don't deserve an end-of-first compo. The pick 2 you're getting for Allen is hidden compo enough.

Starcevic, Robertson, and Brisbane's 1st (17/18) for 15 (Hawthorn's 1st) and 19 (Eagles 2nd)

Brisbane upgrade their 1st rounder by 2 or 3 spots and get the Eagles' early 2nd rounder on top.

Love the tough trade talk from West Coast supporters, this was the team that traded pick 3 down to pick 12 (ending up at pick 16) for Liam Baker last year.

No assistance pick, we would have ended up with their hawks R1

Trot off and enjoy another nepo baby grand final buddy.

Then in a couple more weeks you can enjoy the AFL allowing yet another neppo baby top 5 pick to land in your laps.

AFL House, just got to love how they manage equalisation in the comp. Policies that keep pouring assistance into teams playing and winning grand finals. And they dont even need to ask. It just keeps coming.

Kiss the ring
 
Lions in their 3rd GF in a row.

Current premiers.

Still getting draft assistance every year and dont even need to ask.

Will land yet another top 5 pick and best pure mid in this draft. At a discount. Again.
And? Do you think I'm ok with that? They lucked out with father/sons at the right time. That's how it goes. They also drafted very well and traded amazingly.

The points system for F/S and Academy should change even more, for sure. The fact there's still a 10% discount is wild to me. Clubs should be paying 20% bonus points for the privilege of having preferential access to these players.
 
Kiss the ring

Only ring kissing here is the Brisbane draft team every time they visit AFL House or when they get a visit.

And the premiers dont even need to ask for draft assistance. AFL signed the blank cheque years ago and just keep paying it.

Now a team finishing last multiple years struggling to rebuild with premiership sides poaching players. They need to ask for assistance.

It is one of the most bizzare policies and set ups in world sports. Simply bizzare.

Aren’t you poaching our player? They really need to ventilate the mines a bit better.

Ignoring that this post is an obvious troll, free agency rules give us pick 2, not some hidden conspiracy that the AFL is propping us up.

Then you suggest a trade which is overs for the premiers and unders for the bottom team. Just daft.

The only people who think it's trolling or daft are West Coast supporters. Take off the rose coloured glasses.

What is a neppo baby?

Who is Brisbane poaching?

WC chose not to keep Allen because they want pick 2…in fact, they want Brisbane to actively help them get pick 2 for Allen

Getting lucky with some father sons isn’t assistance…or at least it wasn’t when Geelong or Collingwood did it

Do you know how many first round players Brisbane have received via the academy? Zero
 
That’s the point I’m trying to make, I don’t see pick 19 for Starcevich in isolation as a win for WC. I would guess a package of later picks totalling points equal to a late first rounder would be better for WC, and still be a win for Brisbane.

The comments on here are rather that WC should hand over pick 19 or either lose pick 2 or forget about Starcevich. That’s hardly win-win.
This was my point

Starcevic, Robertson, and Brisbane's 1st (17/18)
The reality is our performances mean we’re a liability. North’s compensation set a precedent.

Yer, another good year being a lions supporter, no doubting that.

Last time we didn’t have a Nepo baby to land in our lap, we still picked the best player in the draft at pick 31. Gets even better though, we didn’t have to extend him on for 2mil a year either.

The victim complex of the West Coast supporters in here is all time. The club has been run into the ground by list bosses, coaches, players, high performance staff and a lack of leadership. Why on earth you’d bring in Pyke to run your club after the camp fiasco is beyond me.

The reason why your club is in a hole is completely self-inflicted. Just as was the situation of our club for the best part of a decade.

The reason we have made finals for seven straight years hasn’t been academies, it’s having had strong leadership and administration.

The Ashcroft boys, Fletcher and Marshall have only come in the last couple of years. Explain the other 4-5 years.

You’re lucky a player of Starcevich’s calibre is wanting to join your club, considering how poorly run it is.

Hand over a first round pick, or early second and just enjoy watching a player who can actually play football run around in the blue and yellow.
 
Won’t even be best 22 for Lions next year. Answerth and Coleman will take over

Since his return this year he has been crap. Not the same player . I’d rather we move on and take Tunstil and Robertson at this point
If even this was the case, which is utterly untrue. Our 24th best player would be your best.
 
If the AFL grant us our end of first round assistance request we'll trade that to Brisbane for Starcevich and Robertson.

Ironically if Brisbane win the flag an end of first pick would be what they'd get for Starcevich had he left via FA.
Why would you put Robinson in for ?
He will only take away from our draft picks
Do not need Robinson at all
