apropos of nothing (not including McVees face)No related to anything at all, but does anyone know how many years North gave Tucker?

??I don't see how anyone can claim they are being reasonable if they don't at least sort of admit it suggests the value was close to market. It's definatley not the opposite. Claiming the opposite is just being obtuse. The difference in value between 12 and 33 for 19 and 23 v 15 for 25 and 26 is nothing material.
Again, the unexplained part of the trade is 44 and 50 for 46. Of course once the draft is over and we haven't go anything for what we gave up for nothing (the eqivelent of an mid third rounder from giving up a late third plus some points) then my eyebrows will be waggling. Untill then I'd let it pass, just like the media have.
It's a bonkers contract for a role playerThen you are aware that you are being hyperbolic.
It's a pretty run of the mill contract for an established player in his age bracket. And you have no idea how much money he is on. And you say he is just a role player like that means he is less important than a what... a non-role player? WTF. Every player has a role.
You don't lure players over on under 500k a year. Not when their own club has been trying to get them to sign on for 18 months and keep revising their offers to him.It's a bonkers contract for a role player
I'm assuming he has been given extra years at less money though, should atleast be under 500k per year
I agree with your point but a few draft picks out for Freo. Pick 24 not 27, 45 not 44 and 47 not 44I'd rather have kept 34 like we should have. Watch the mathematical magic.

We can talk shit about Port and how they’re taking cast offs but I’ll wait to start flaming and laughing at Port until we actually overtake them in terms of success…What a terrifying trade period the Power have produced. Wehr, Durdin, Brodie. An all time scary lineup of recruits.
Last I heard they had only offered him 2 yearsYou don't lure players over on under 500k a year. Not when their own club has been trying to get them to sign on for 18 months and keep revising their offers to him.

Their list manager was talking about how they tried renegotiating his contract for 18 months to get him to sign.Last I heard they had only offered him 2 years
Reckon he has taken the security over here but should still be cheap
He's an honest player, quite shocking to see 5 years tbh
To be fair hopefully he looks at it that they gave up their 3rd selection in the draft.Imagine what it must do to one’s self esteem to only be valued at pick 103![]()
Really makes keeping Warner long term perhaps their biggest priority for the next 5 years.A trade like this one for Curnow (two players and two firsts rounds) should really have the capacity to **** Sydney sideways when/if Curnow blows a knee or similar.
But they’ve got a couple of Academy kids coming through to cushion the blow.
I honestly hope losing Hayward and Florent drives a wedge down the middle of the group, because **** those guys
The name of the dog who bit Garp's ear in the greatest novel ever, IMOI don't think you know what bonkers means.
Im with you (I think).But at the end of all that - what's the highest draft pick we could end up with and getting an early 20s pick with McVee? Cos from a net stand point, if we're taking Whan with our second pick that's all that really matters. We weren't upgrading 12, so the only question is how far back are we sliding

There's no such thing as should have been since you are unaware of the agreed value of the picks.12 should've been 19 and 23 by itself
We also should be working the other way, trading up to gc mid 20s picks
I'm sorry but you're once again showing you don't quite understand the draft processThere's no such thing as should have been since you are unaware of the agreed value of the picks.
Evidence all week long has suggested picks have lower value than normal this year.
Just whinging for the sake of it all this claiming that it could have been done without the later picks. Clearly, it could not have.
Classic saying, garbage in = garbage out. Everyone trying to pass judgement on value is doing so with incorrect input assumptions, hence the trade seems nonsensical.
Sydney are being forced to trade a good player for a good player because Carlton know their picks are junk this year. Evidence is mounting yet many still ignore what is right there.
Dude this is worthless analysis. We're in the business of picking actually good players, not maximising the points we take to the draft.12 for 25/26
25 for Mcvee (Dees took 24 so I'd be absolutely stunned if they wouldn't take 25)
26, 34, 51 = equiv of pick 15 (we still hold 44 in this scenario)
gets us close to GC pick 15, would almost certainly get us 18 in which case we end up with a pick 2 spots higher in both the first round and the 3rd round (44 never moves down to 46 in this scenario)
Alternatively 44 goes in with it and we get pick 15, as I reckon we are only taking 1x live pick this draft
Thats just going off the possible GC/North trade from the AFL, its without even delving into Brissy/Blues/Bombers possibilities
Basically we should have held points to allow us to trade up because there are gonna be multiple clubs willing to trade down for points
quick edit: FWIW I reckon we can do much better than 25/26 but this is just showing we can start off in a bad position and still come out on top of what we actually did, if only we held the other picks to trade up with points.
Lol.I'm sorry but you're once again showing you don't quite understand the draft process
Carlton have academy players for the next two seasons, any picks will get eaten up in that
I know you don't actually agree with what you are saying as you have openly said you are being the counterpoint for the sake of it, so whats the point of going on with it lol
