Not to start anything but this trade highlights an issue with the competition. WCE from 18th has to stump a first rounder to go to the premieres or lose value from their FA... who is going to the premieres.

In exchange for us overpaying for Allen to get them pick 2. The devil is in the details.
 
Freo give 12 and 33 for a pick in 20s and late pick, are you and west coast at least going to use Lube?
would’ve thought the trade would see us use both our seconds and Freo end up with both but doesn’t seem to be the reporting. Questionable from them atm
 
Instead it seems weve upgraded a 1st rounder and gotten a gun

Will also cost you pick 22 or 23 but you’ll get some lesser picks back.

Freo obviously had to split pick 12 for Judd McVee but I don’t think they got the best deal possible here.
 
Has to be another decent pick going to Freo. West Coast's future 2?
My thoughts^^^

Maybe a swap that sees us with Bris F2 and Bris with Freo F3? Havent thought that out properly but I can’t see us giving up 19 next year as well

Getting Starc whilst also consolidating/upgrading picks is a good result. Can't for the life of me work out why we are tight on list spots, but that ticks all the boxes so far...

Why not, no need to be involved in this trade otherwise
 
You either join in on the party or you get left in the dust.

It's just draft picks; it's made up. Pieces of paper with numbers on them so we don't have to kill each other just to get a player for our club. It's not wrong. And it's certainly no different today than it's ever been. 1901, 07, 29, 1937, 1974, 1987-Jesus, didn't that **** up me up good-92, 97, 2000 and whatever we want to call this. It's all just the same thing over and over; we can't help ourselves. And you and I can't control it, or stop it, or even slow it. Or even ever-so-slightly alter it. We just react. And we make a lot draft picks if we get it right. And we get left by the side of the side of the road if we get it wrong. And there have always been and there always will be the same percentage of winners and losers. Happy ****s and sad sacks. Fat cats and starving dogs in this world. Yeah, there may be more of us today than there's ever been. But the percentages-they stay exactly the same.

Definitely makes more sense if our 19 goes to Freo in exchange for more points this year/next year.

Dom with the big picture 4D chess.

Ah Chee trade still to come.

We can scoop our academy pool both this year and next year with these moves.
