Gold Coast & Western Bulldogs have agreed to a pick swap trade.Suns will get picks 14, 33 and 53 & Dogs will get picks 15 and 29. Suns picks will crunch in and get more points for matching bids and Dogs' second pick comes in earlier while their first will be same after bids.

My wife wants me to go to yoga with her this arvo.....starts at 6pm Darwin time 7.30 Melbourne time.

Just in time for pick 1........

I gotta pick my kid up from martial arts right as pick 1 is called

Nothing unprofessional about either club doing what is best for them in bidding/trading or matching bids.

WCE have played it perfectly putting the pressure on Carlton, only part that works against them is by bidding early they force Carlton to trade their two early picks and it doesn't bring in your pick 13.

Minor in scheme of things.

You've put forward your opinion on the matter numerous times now. It's been noted. Time to move on, you're boring everyone.

 

[In The Rod We Trust]

Tactical bidding sounds like it works until you take it to far and end up with the bloke you didn't really want.

Fair enough, open to discussion on opinions, nuance on the matter.

However if this thread isn't for draft discussion I will move on.

Good luck tonight, great hand for your lads

 

[bzparkes]

I think we are underselling the fact the club won't be locked into taking our tied players. I feel like they've decided for arbitrary list profile (average age) reasons they don't want to take more than 5 kids in this draft, and subsequently limited list spots.

it's a good point and makes complete sense, based off that Jamie Maddocks interview posted in the other thread, where he said they need a better balance of younger and older players.

Mate we've simply got better things to discuss.

Like arguing who we should take between CDT and Sharp for the umpteenth time.

 

[Jootube]

If they bid came after pick 6/7, most carlton fans agree it would be worth staying in this years draft.

Won't happen, so doesn't matter now.

Purely a strategy question on what is best for eagles, bidding or not bidding. Seems fairly clear most eagles fans don't care between 11 and 13.

This reeks of prisoners dilemma.

"I swear if you don't bid on Dean, Carlton will lose picks 9 and 11 and your pick will improve!"

In reality, you've already agreed to trade them and you just get Dean on the cheap.

The Eagles should bid at 3 and the Carlton should trade their picks - please move on

 

[archiemoses]

This is what most of us are hoping for.
2 & 13 for 5 & 9.

Bombers would be hoping for that. Thats about it

 

[dinnaz]

So in the most critical year of his football life the Vic Country and Gippsland Power coaches yanked him out of the midfield and put him at half back? And that’s because the clubs asked for that?

Maybe the clubs see him more as a half back. Surely if they saw him as a mid they’d want to see him tested against the best in the country at the champs in that role?

Some chuds can only play midfield. If Duursma is 80% as good off the back flank then the move makes sense. Also this happens with like 6-8 players in every champs team played out of position.

 

[chaddy22]

Agreed, fair enough! Bid where you rate him.

However, worth considering how it effects you in remainder of draft. If 13 could become 11, does that help you?

Why are Carlton supporters the only ones complaining.
We may bid on a gold coast player and we haven't heard a peep.

it is simple. At 1/2 we get any player that isn't academy/father son.
between 11 and 13 we have no control of who we end up.
hopefully a good player

 

[MrAsh7777]

2+34+41 for 5+9?

Gives Essendon points for NGA bids.
Eagles pass on Williams and leaves 1 spot for Banfield or Evans if late bid comes

 

[txbyhull]

Incorrect, both Tigers and Dons would have bid.

Well... yeah? The bid wouldn't come from us though?

 

[amazingjoshy]

They've surely got enough for Addinsall now

 

[VinegarStrokes]

Which Gold Coast Supporters are you referring to? Member 1, 2 or 3?

 

[stallon]

2+34+41 for 5+9?

Gives Essendon points for NGA bids.

2 for 5+9 or they can go away

or 2 for 5+f1

 

[Jootube]

To be fair, Carlton supporters actually exist, Suns supporters mostly exist on a short spreadsheet at AFL house.

 

[txbyhull]

Fair play to the Suns for racking up points in an even more difficult than usual class. Wonder who we go for if not Addinsall

Can you take Random with you. Young fella might need it

Suns are 100% matching a bid on Addinsall

Not sure what benefit the Dogs get out of that trade

The picks between 29 and 33 will be Carlton, Sydney, Sydney which will all disappear in bid matches so 33 would become 29 anyway

And they give up 53

Smart trade by the Suns though

How hard I pronounce the F when I say F*** that trade! Just simply horrible.

 

[Shueygod]

Considering we can’t get Addinsall give me Phillipou unless there is a slider.

Robey at pick 19.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

 

[Eaglemaniac]

How long til we trade all our top picks for the 13th ranked guy in the country that’s not a mid, just because he is from WA?
