GWS won the draft. Clearly. 100%. I know this because Old Gil told me as I was leaving the Hordern last night. But when I mentioned GWS wasn't in the top three winners of the draft, he burst into tears and started yelling into his phone for someone to organise some priority picks by Monday. I...

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you AFL Trade Radio.

Switch on trade radio. Hear a quiet voice in the distance: "The mike isn't on, the mike isn't on." Top shelf quality AFL.

On top of that there's the whole #6 hoodoo thing too.

I used to think the AFL was out of touch. Now I realise they're just stupid. Surely the ONLY interest in the top 10 is the first five so there's some interest in whether Port gets Wingard or not.

TWR was a good concept but failed dismally. Invited input from people who have no idea (the callers) and people who have even less idea (Terry Wallace and Thompson). Would have benefitted from a non-Victorian presence (although that would be ground-breaking) or someone who actually knows...

That quote comes directly from the St Kilda web site. The fact you got ANYTHING for Lynch is a huge win based on how shite you think he is.

It's a crap idea, which doesn't make any sense, and will show the GWS in a good light. So it's gonna happen.

Nah, it's not in the spirit of the game.

You do understand how negotiating works don't you? Or do you always give your best offer first and then silently meditate on the mantra, 'IN ICKE WE TRUST' ....

Jackie boy might now be wishing he didn't piss off his previous employer as much as he did ... because there ain't a lot of love from the Crows to get Gunston where he wants to go. And just on Gunston wanting Hawthorn. I thought the whole point was he missed his Mum or his girlfriend put her...

No, we promised Quik. Milo was never on the table.

Player x = Sam Jacobs. This post, coming from a Carlton supporter, is gold.

Possibly. Could also be a sign that we'll upgrade our rookies rather than punt draft pick 50 on a project player.

I'm still amazed that people are expecting the AFL to be a) fair or b) consistent. Ain't ever gonna happen.

:rolleyes: indeed. A dumb idea at the outset, but even dumber when the one club has both pick 1 AND 2. If it goes ahead, this idea is destined to sit alongside Angry Anderson's batmobile jaunt in the Hall of Shame.

:D Demetriou: "Pick 80: St Kilda" St Kilda: "Pass" Demetriou: "Pick 81: Geelong" Geelong: "Pass" Demetriou: "Pick 82: Anybody?" * crickets * Demetriou: "Pick 83: Anyone?" * crickets * . . . . . . . . Demetriou: "Pick 117: Anybody?" * crickets * Demetriou: "Pick...

She's a reporter? Wow. The first shock of trade week. :eek:

This is why you're a BigFooty draft 'expert' and not working in football. The idea of drafting is not to pick up bargains, based on some fictional list from a dude at AFL House or what the collective wisdom of BF reckons. It's to get the best players to complement your existing list...

Re: Hurry Up First Trade!!!! Mate, the script for Trade Week usually goes ... One mid-level trade late Wednesday involving a player no-one cares about and a nothing draft pick. 99% of trades at lunch time Friday. Three trades about five minutes after the trade deadline has expired...

Yep, Rendell's also a very lucky bastard. Considering the AFL is so pedantic on minor details, he's lucky Vlad didn't rip the pick off us straight after his mistake.

You're kidding aren't you Gets? I had us picking up Kreuzer with 27. ;)

Darren Jarman Peter Caven Matthew Robran Brett James Kym Koster Mark Stevens Matt Connell ... all premiership players. Give my best to Chris Naish, John Rombotis, Scott Hodges, David Brown, Brett Chalmers, the player you gave up for a No 1 draft pick Ian Downsborough and everyone's...

CONFIRMED http://afc.com.au/Season2007/News/Ne...x?newsId=52305 Martin Mattner has been traded to the Sydney Swans for pick 28 in the 2008 national draft. Mattner, recruited from Sturt in the SANFL, was elevated from the Crows rookie list in 2002 and played 98 AFL games. “We would...

And yet you think it would make sense for everyone ????????

Guys ... PSD.

... will undergo some changes. Currently, Monday-Friday is known as AFL Trade Week. This gives the wrong impression and, in order to give a better picture of what is actually happening among the 16 clubs, it will be renamed to: Monday-Wednesday: AFL Ridiculous Ambit Claim Week Thursday: AFL...

Based on that, why would the Bulldogs bother to try to get a better pick for the Lions? If it's only going to cost them pick #45, why try to improve on that in trading?

Carlton?

He's actually talking about Jim Watts - and that was announced three years ago.
