Wake up AFL.

Your equalisation policies are not working....never have.

And they already know that.

Been the exact opposite you might even say. Mind you getting pick 2 for Oscar is a win. Getting the Bont would be nicer tho

 

[Wight Wolf]

We are so back

 

[shooshka]

I don't think Dev will be delisted, he'll want certainty that he will get to a club (so will go to Dogs if not us). We'll probably trade him for some kind of late pick swap that preserves points for everyone.

We can guarantee him a spot, and we have excess rookie spots.

The only problem is we can’t trade a guy onto the rookie list. If we could he would have 100% been included in the Starcevich trade.

Bris will delist, and we will put him on the RL via the SSP

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Hutch looks a natural to take over the Cripps role.
Good on a lead, good tank and good mark, totally looks likely his role imo.

... fumbly as heck

It was a good trade

Bitches gonnna bitch

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Official AFL twitter account has us getting 33

Still hoping we can get another pick in the 20's just in case we have someone we're interested in that range. Perhaps bundle up the later picks that are left.

Especially when you tack on the nudge nudge wink wink part of the deal that gets us pick 2 for Oscar.(Hopefully)

 

[TY24]

What's your point, bro?

How the **** do you know what kind of negotiator he is if you've never seen him negotiate, bro?

Some posters can't be pleased.

I reckon this draft has "Movie Vibes" all over it.
Down and out team on the ropes makes massive comeback by recruiting unwanted players and blending them in with their own rag tag young team and win the Premiership in 2026, beating Hawthorn on the siren.

Nuh would rather beat brisbane in the Granny and eliminate Collingwood Hawthorn and Geelong in each final for the beat Epic Movie

 

[WCE777]

Would prefer both of these players rather than some old recycled player.

Agree, can't believe I haven't heard of Anderson mentioned until today!
Where do you see Blamires playing?

 

[CountryLad]

Still hoping we can get another pick in the 20's just in case we have someone we're interested in that range. Perhaps bundle up the later picks that are left.

A pick in 20’s probably gets chewed up by an academy bid. Jones had a stronger draft year football wise but i doubt Williams gets past pick 20-30 when it’s a draft where recruiters will be looking for players that have elite traits.


Darcy Jones 2.9sec 20m
7.7 sec agility
Pick 21

Lance Collard 2.9sec 20m
8.15 sec agility
Pick 28

Tyler Williams 2.8 sec 20m
7.8 sec Agility
Pick ?

 

[Obeanie1]

Hence the steak knives.

Steak knives won't make up that difference.

Are they like gold plated?

Moving up from 3 to 2 would cost a low 2nd plus extra.

You want to trade a low 2nd for Young?

We have pick 37 or 52 for Young.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Hey Keys HoneyBadger35 and other mods - I have a proposal

Can we set up another thread for posters that want to bitch about history, be it the Kelly trade, the Baker trade, etc.

Call it “stuck in the past” and you simply shift their posts to that thread and get rid of historical negativity.

 

[eagles rule]

Oscar paperwork lodged… now we wait

Clock is ticking

 

[Cuzz09]

Nuh would rather beat brisbane in the Granny and eliminate Collingwood Hawthorn and Geelong in each final for the beat Epic Movie

Win it from 8th after being 44 points down at 3qtr time in Elim final first week v Pies at the G

 

[InTheWings]

Still hoping we can get another pick in the 20's just in case we have someone we're interested in that range. Perhaps bundle up the later picks that are left.

Potential to get something in that range for Chesser. Apparently, we have asked for Carlton's pick 21, whereas Carlton sees his value closer to their pick 40.

So, maybe somewhere in between?

[Obeanie1]

My way of looking at it was than in return for the four pick upgrade from 16 to 12, we downgraded 22 to 33.

Then the second part of the trade was Starcevich and 52 for 23.

So a four pick upgrade from 16 to 12 cost us a 10 pick downgrade in the 2nd round? Didn't even cost a 2nd rounder?

That is simply incorrect.

A two pick upgrade late in the 1st round costs a 2nd rounder. That is what history and facts tell us. Not guessing....a historical fact shown multiple times.

And you think a 4 pick upgrade only cost half a 2nd rounder?

That simply isn't logical nor what happened.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Lol at people thinking we’ve traded up to Fremantle’s first, we’ll probably end up with their 33 and Fremantle and Brisbane will do something on the side.

Any update on this?

 

[Yippy Yi Yeo]

With the Bombers showing interest in trading up, could we swap 2 for Tigers 3 and Young (maybe some steak knives in amongst it?) to ensure they get their man and don't risk Bombers jumping them?

And would that then unlock not having to use a pick between 30 and 50 on Young which loads up our points to swap with GC?

How about we stop compromising our top picks to help other clubs out and tell richmond they can take a pick in the 50s for their out of contract, rookie listed 27 year old defender who played 9 games this season.

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

How the **** do you know what kind of negotiator he is if you've never seen him negotiate, bro?

1. He came out and publicly said that he thought Baker was valued at R1 before negotiations began.
2. He got pantsed in the Baker deal.

btw You're going to make people cry by merely talking about this. I'm happy to let it slide, but since you're not, those tears are on you.

 

[TwoStriders]

Potential to get something in that range for Chesser. Apparently, we have asked for Carlton's pick 21, whereas Carlton sees his value closer to their pick 40.

So, maybe somewhere in between?

Asking for 21 for Chesser is the sort of campaigner behaviour we usually experience on the recieving end.

I was kind of resigned to us getting 40 or worse for him. Getting 21 for say Chesser and 33 would be a nice win IMO... probably unrealistic.
