I get what he’s saying, we’ve recruited the upstanding citizen from a great family in the past instead of the best talented player. Think he’s missed the mark with this one though, as Oliver’s situation appears to be heading down a dangerous path

I’m happy with how RT is progressing though. Will be a gun. Will be dominant around the ground if they choose to play him as a ruckman

Imagine a 20 year old key forward not dominating every game. How was max Gawn as a 20 year old?

Old mate Whately even jumped on the good old bias bus again saying pick 5 is the starting point. That would literally be the end point, not the starting point

Possibly, but even if no other team would swoop he’s still not heading to the PSD, which is why I don’t understand why we waste our time talking about it tbh

If there’s any hope of him coming home I guess they would, but I’m personally not expecting that to happen

Top 20 academy players can be taken by any club as per the new rules. Or does this not apply to to GC/GWS?

TBH I think major hurdle in this trade is whether it will be this years first or a future first. I’d imagine GC will want this years, where as AFC would prefer it to be a future first

Ummmm then why are we known as the feeder club? And that’s without any early draft picks or academies like some other lucky teams that we won’t mention

Agreed, Melbourne future first is a better result. Melbourne would have to become back 2 back premiers for their future pick to be later than 17. Not to mention pick 17 this year is actually 19. also how many times in recent history have we seen the reining premiers have a poor year the...

In which universe is a first rounder not fair value for Dawson? What are you honestly expecting?

Chuck the haws 09 in there too. There are no guarantees

Agreed, how dare they offer a first rounder. Ludicrous

So they’ve rejected all fair offers because they actually have no intention of trading him

You actually believe the crap your talking? 😂

Actually I’ve only heard the opposite. Every single media person believes a fair and reasonable deal has been offered. For once the media isn’t portraying us as the bad guy…..actually feels kinda weird

This is the problem, Sydney are now rating him higher than a 2 time AA and 2 time bnf winner. But yea a guy in his mid 20’s with PB of 3rd in a bnf is clearly gonna be our best player

I bet this wouldn’t be happening is they had a decent academy player this year…..poor buggers

How is a first round pick half his worth?

Yea they looked awesome in round 23, and 2 years ahead of us in their rebuild 😂

Yea reckon you kinda misread the point of this post

Strict instructions from AFL house. It is the favourite child vs the unwanted child after all

I’m reluctant to go down the PD avenue for a second time in a row, but as long as they’ve offered a fair and reasonable deal trade first up, then I’d be comfortable going to the draft. No point over paying during a rebuild

Unless you have an academy

Lol literally have the second highest pick in the club’s history, and they reckon it should be traded haha credit to him though, he did say they don’t value picks the same as others do

doubt it

Why do swans people keep saying he would be the best player in everyone’s team lol

Only teams with academies would get rid of pick 4 in this scenario

Someone should let them know not all of us have academies we can rely on, pick 4 is a no go
