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

[txbyhull]

I'll give you a hint: Morris is playing in his 2nd season; Curtin/Reid are playing in their first

What…

 

[txbyhull]

Been working out pretty well, you guys should try it sometime

We’re trying our luck at getting some handouts, we find out tomorrow

 

[beatnik]

What…

I thought it was a discussion of Murphy Reid…obviously I was wrong

 

[Jako Darling]

I thought it was a discussion of Murphy Reid…obviously I was wrong

It's also Curtin's 2nd year..

 

[Leuy LongerCombo]

Literally just gave our 3rd best tall forward 900k a year….

Guessing one is your very own Nepo baby Waterman, who is the other one you're trying to kid yourself with ?

 

[amazingjoshy]

Thread is a complete shitshow

For what seems one of the more relatively obvious trades (should it happen) of the whole period

 

[Obeanie1]

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

Im not from WA.

Nor work in a mine.

You keep trying to sound clever. You need the practice.

So much for bananas being brain food.

 

[Obeanie1]

Waterman......pick 70 something?

Not exactly a rated top 5 talent. Nor shown it.

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.

Who are the Lions poaching?

We're signing a player his own club management team didn't want, because they'd rather the compo pick than keep their captain.

That's on your club for treating it's captain like . Everyone knows it on your board, but keep playing the victim mate, it fits.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Kinda hope they win the flag and Starcevich gets glassy eyed about going for 3 Peat and signs on for that.

....on the flip side, I'd rather bellends like that guy ^ have a shit weekend...

Leave Briztoon alone, coward.

Jokes on you Briztoon lives for the draft not flags. And based on our ins this year we will be winning that too.

Dab.

It's a insane contract to offer which would be irresponsible for us to match . Brisbane though have the salary cap room to do it

 

[Altum Volantes]

I do actually hope you win and have no hate for the Lions.

 

[Tom14]

I do actually hope you win and have no hate for the Lions.

I'd be delighted if we kept Starce. The ultimate role player.

Paying him very good money and potentially trying him in the midfield is a bit more questionable...

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

I do actually hope you win and have no hate for the Lions.

I'm hoping for a Lions dynasty myself so will be supporting Brisbane for sure

 

[BrisVegasDru]

What? They are from the same draft you muppet.

This was Curtins second year and I obviously am talking about Harley.

Learn footy before talking to me chump.

Who?

You didn't have to offer what we're offering, you just had to meet Oscar somewhere in the middle.

If any team should have salary cap room, it's your mob. You literally have half a dozen players at most that should be on salaries above AFL average. Every other contract should be on a draftee contract or near minimum salary.

He goes for either a compensation pick or our second rounder which is close to what starc would arract as a FA compensation probably close to the most straight forward trade if he nominates

This sounds pretty right to me - the AFL might also be more likely to award it if they know it’s going to result in established player who will make an immediate impact

Need to sell it to your own club fans, most Brisbane fans would take that.

Considering the point of most compo picks is to be traded for mature talent, I don’t think it would be hard to convince 95% of eagles fans. It’s the 5% on bigfooty that would blow their lids

The nuffies on SM won't understand the need to trade instead of signing as a FA.

They will also be confused and angry as to why they have signed someone over the age of 20, now that the best solution to everything is to 'PLAY THE KIDS!!1'...

 

[Jeremy McLovin]

Do you know how many first round players Brisbane have received via the academy? Zero

Well that's just straight up false.

 

[blueiris]

Well that's just straight up false.

We haven't had a top 5 academy player yet
