Matt Clarke wraps up the trade period - 6PR

 

[wirra44]

It's still a pretty good deal, it's just we briefly thought we had reamed Brisbane.

If starcevic plays 100 games it will probably be a good deal, a lot relys on him.

 

[twce13]

Lmao Clarke gonna Clarke.

Sack this guy right now .

 

[Hasselhough]

Do we still need to be going over and over this same shit?

He's on our list now, let's just be supportive.

Nah starcivich is the new whipping boy

 

[lusheslewis]

It's a good deal. Now just need pick 2 confirmed.

 

[ThePuma #9]

So let's isolate this trade.

We give pick 22 for Starcevich.

We then trade Pick 16 and 23 for 12, 33 & 52.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Lol clark went from hero to zero

Nah it just went from unbelievablly good to fair. Fine with it

 

[kempy]

I’m no draft expert so why wouldn’t we want Duursma?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Still a very good deal. Got my hopes up with the early reported too good to be true version.

22 for Starc. 16 and 23 for 12, 33, 52. We move.

 

[Bender_]

Yeah, lets all be little children and pretend that if we ignore problems and make believe that we can't see them they will just magically go away.

It's okay mate, if he gets a head-knock in 4 years time and has to retire you can return here all guns blazing saying you told us so. It's been discussed ad nauseum, just wait for it to happen.

 

[kranky al]

I reckon we must have promised not to bid on academy picks or something

I’d have swapped 16 and 23 for 12 and 33 by themselves.

We got starcevich thrown in as well as 52

 

[greatwhiteshark]

If Starcevich misses half of next year with concussion issues Pyke will have to walk the plank and resign.

What is the point of pick 33 and 50 something comeing to us? Are we even going to use them? Is that just window dressing to make us feel better about ourselves and placate the fan base?

Got a feeling the concussion thing is being overblown on here. Now I know our club has made mistakes in the past but surely the Starcevich contract will have triggers that protect us?
Lets face it, almost every player in the league now is just one hit away from being medically retired, doesn't even have to be that big a hit anymore.

 

[Lia]

Sack Simpson

 

[lmach]

The bed wetters aren't happy unless we absolutely ream another team in a trade. If it's a fair trade for all then Clarke needs to be sacked.

 

[Shueygod]

22 for Starcevich would have been better for us and Brisbane would have folded and taken it eventually.

The deal itself isn’t bad but they ****ed up.

 

[Obeanie1]

We’ve just given up pick 16, 22 and 23 for 12, Starcevich and a couple junk picks

No chance at pick 6 now either

Matthew Clark has ruined yet another off season.

What have we generated by dropping two spots in the 1st round recently? Future 2nd rounders.

So what is a 4 spot upgrade worth?

Nothing?

 

[greatwhiteshark]

It's okay mate, if he gets a head-knock in 4 years time and has to retire you can return here all guns blazing saying you told us so. It's been discussed ad nauseum, just wait for it to happen.

I reckon Starcevich is a great get for us. We will not be using this guy as a back pocket lock down player.

 

[Quinten Kennedy]

It's still a pretty good deal, it's just we briefly thought we had reamed Brisbane.

So true. Nobody got reamed here which indicates a reasonably fair deal.

 

[TerryFilk]

It's still a pretty good deal, it's just we briefly thought we had reamed Brisbane.

How’s it a good deal? We now don’t have the points to move up the order, we just gave 16,22 and 23 away for a bloke who’ll be medically retired if he gets concussed again and for pick 12.

Trying to see the light here but I can’t, the deal in itself isn’t horrific but factoring in we now can’t trade up is what makes it horrible to me.

 

[King LeBron]

Those having a go at Clarke for this one need to let go of the past. This deal in isolation is fair for all parties. We certainly haven't come out losers on this trade alone.

 

[unty11]

I’m no draft expert so why wouldn’t we want Duursma?

I want Duursma reminds me a lot of bont.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

I reckon we must have promised not to bid on academy picks or something

I’d have swapped 16 and 23 for 12 and 33 by themselves.

We got starcevich thrown in as well as 52

Never mind Starcevich, I think kranky al needs a quick concussion check

 

[mitchzz]

Hahaha this is great reading

I'm actually okay with it but funny to see everyone once again turn on Clarke

I expect we split one of our top picks. Unfortunately I think we will split 1 and miss out on Duursma

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Got a feeling the concussion thing is being overblown on here.

He missed three months just this year with concussion.

Three ****ing months.

 

[The_Reaper]

Part of me hopes we promised not to bid with 1 and then we turn around and sell 1 to someone else who bids.

Come on down Essendon

22 for Starcevich would have been better for us and Brisbane would have folded and taken it eventually.

The deal itself isn’t bad but they ****ed up.

12 is a lot more useful than 16 if we want to upgrade.

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Still a good trade

• Happier that we have pick 12 & 33 rather than 16 & 22
• Happy to bring in Starc for 23
