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

[Nathan Barley]

Does this mean round 2 and the Dev Robertson trade is next?

West Coast getting fleeced again. Making a habit of it

Hardly say they got fleeced. You saw up close and personal how good Starce was on grand final day. Danger still waking up in cold sweats thinking about him

I wouldn't pay up for a small lock down defender with concussion issues.

It's an art

This might be the first trade I've ever seen where everyone seems to be worse off than when they started.

Maybe that explains why Brisbane wanted to win the GF so much more than Geelong? Players like Starcevich don’t grow on trees

Yeah they do

Who else are they paying? Gotta pay someone. He’s the premier lock down defender in the league and a good cultural centrepiece to help drive standards.

Assuming all goes well with the health he is a great get. Brisbane has taken an equally big risk with Allen and it’s netted them pick 2 also.

Big picture they are doing good things

Good call

 

[beatnik]

Yeah they do

I guess that’s the difference between first and second

It's why Danger needed a toilet break, Starce was giving him the shits

No but you would pay up for a show pony mid who is almost useless under pressure and a huge distraction

 

[Pns_blister]

Yeah they do

You raise a good point, only another 46 to go

Are you seriously trying to argue Smith wasn't a good pickup?

Ironically we have to many Starcevich type of players

If Starcevich nominated any other club we would have got nothing.

Getting the equivalent of pick 15 for him seems like we are quite a bit ahead.

If that was the case, doubt Charlie would have had a day out in the GF

when our version went on him he disappeared

So just one then?

Dual premiership champions? I beg to differ

 

[Hollow Knight]

Starcevich is being criminally underrated here.

He’s a ****ing gun.

 

[Warhorse]

Mullin and O'Connor. Like Starcevich they are unable to do anything but lock down an opponent

 

[beatnik]

He kicked four goals in crucial moments and destroyed your team for the day…literally, what could motivate you to undermine his performance on the biggest stage?

Actually, don’t answer that…pretty sure I already know

Except that Starce does it in Grand Final wins too
