This is what I was thinking when I read Twomey as he usually has been fed the inside goss.
But I will wait for this 1 as only yesterday Pyke was on radio stating we will look at all options to trade up in the draft including using the priority pick.
It's a wait and see for me, there has to be more to the deal if we are using pick 19 for this deal?

I was thinking the same thing. We have the pick straight after the priority pick. Maybe 15 and 20 for a top 10 pick

Unbelievable that people are having a sook that we will be trading our fourth pick in a shallow draft which will be in the 20s for a best 10 player in a back to back premiership side that instantly improves our team..

He was never going to be a third rounder

I think there is more to this trade if pick 19 is part of it.
Sure Starcevich on his own is probably palatable to both clubs at Hawks 2nd round now 34.

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

I think he just stayed down for the standard 8 count .

"Oh, don't worry about his concussions. I am sure the eagles medical team will just ask the Lions medical team and Starcevich about all his concussions and i am sure they will be totally honest and tell us everything". Thats the gist of what some muppets on here have been saying.

 

[twce13]

Need Dev to be delisted so we can take him as a rookie. **** I hope we’re smart enough to tell Brisbane and Dev that.

I don’t like those odds mate.

 

[Hasselhough]

Brissy huge winners due to the situation but if I had to pick out of
Starcevich and pick 2
Or
Allen and Pick 23, I’d take Pick 2 and Starcevich…

Twomey keeps repeating this .

other clubs must look at the lions getting 2 highly rated free agents then getting pick 19 for their own and think WTF

Twomey kept doing this last year with pick 14 for Baker too.

People are "having a sook" because he got concussed 5 days ago, yet again, and is one more knock away from being medically retired. Brisbane has just made that our problem.

Anyone who keeps forgetting that point is an idiot ^

Burning pick 19 on someone who's career cold be over next year, or the year after at any given contest is a silly move.

 

[Seadog]

I got harangued and ridiculed by a gang of muppets on here for immediately calling BS on the "He wasn't concussed" ruse when the Lions first claimed that at the start of the week. Some people are so gullible. It was a very, very obvious lie.

Some of us just prefer to wait for the confirmation, it's not a contest to see who's right. You get ridiculed for your mansplaining everything to the nth degree as if no-one else could possibly understand anything without your input. Clown.

 

[Patterz123]

Well seems like we've hit our targets early! Young, Dev and Starc.

Hopefully by sorting these early, it gives us time to work on some others, maybe a surprise few.

Still need the mature mid!

Has the narrative already

He works in the same office as the folks running the joint

 

[Hasselhough]

If he can take that hit to the head and have no symptoms, surely thats a good thing

It was a very solid hit

Do you know how they test for concussion?

They ask you a bunch of questions about how you are feeling

If I had 5 and 1/2 million on the line I would fake that shit to look fine

[Tugga27]

Do you honestly think Clarke understands why we have to ask that let alone actually ask that? I bet we’ve also assured them we won’t bid on Annable saving them almost 900 points at a minimum. We are going to be reamed all trade period again then make shit draft choices. Bookmark it.

I won't have to bookmark it cos I'm sure you'll keep reminding us all, every step of the way.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

I think it's stupid that anyone in the media thought we'd dilute the Oscar compo to sign Starc. It's also kinda stupid we'd offer up that freshly given first rounder when in reality we could be bad boys and use later picks or the damn psd.

All I can hope for now is that we pick Brisbane's academy players and they have to use that pick to match.

Doubt it happens given the nature of our negotiations typically, but saying yeah here’s the free pick for Starcevich, and by the way we want Annable at 1 so it’s immediately gone is quite good fare.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

That’s very clearly not how they test for concussions just quietly.

 

[Elite Pete]

Absolutely .

Lions press release did. Wants to be traded to West Coast.

Apparently Fagan went through every player on their list and said something about them. Will be interesting what he said about our main man Dev

 

[Hasselhough]

If you base previous performance at the trade table.

If pick 3 gets you Baker () then pick 19 for starce is about right

Sshhhhhh we are allow to talk about how matty clarke got reamed harder than bonny blue last trade period in this shiny new thread

None of it makes sense . The only reason I can think eagles could be this stupid is Brisbane have done a wink wink we make sure oz is band A as long as we get that pick.

Would anyone have traded 19 for Starcevich?

They helped you guys with one hand while they wanked Brisbane off with the other.

You have no risk, Brisbane are popping ****ing champagne

 

[WCErevival]

Surely we give them pick 20 instead of 19 leaving us 4 picks before that one.

 

[boondy]

The tests for concussion are interesting . You should Google SCAT5 SPORT CONCUSSION ASSESSMENT TOOL 5TH EDITION how they do it considering they can only really diagnose brain trauma physically until after you are dead
