Piss weak, Saints.

Cold feet, too scared to be judged by all the muppets in the media...

This is why we are who we are
You are dumb.
We said we wanted to Trade Pick 1 for an exceptional deal. We didn't get offered one, therefore we keep Pick 1, and draft the best 18 year old in Australia. If you're angry about getting a Bugatti instead two Holdens, then thank god you aren't in charge of list management at our football club.

It's disappointing, based on what we were HOPING for from GWS (clearly not forthcoming).

Looking at it realistically, we hit the pre-trade target of 3 picks inside 22. By the skin of our teeth though. By the absolute bare minimum. Fact is, we kept Armo and Steven but still managed 3 inside 22. Not a bad effort. We get the number 1 draft pick, a terrific opportunity.

I'm a little dissspointed, still. I would have loved to have fast-tracked by multiplying those picks (counting for the fact that 1 is gone).

Ahhhh well, it's over.

What's you ******* point, mate?

On what basis do you bag the club on? Do you have any clue what was on offer or what was asked of us?

seems like the only thing the club did wrong was to not meet your stupid expectations.
I believe they had the stupid expectations, not me

I'm pretty sure we showed last year we are not interested in media opinion.

Lol at all those saying we did and did not do this or that. You were not there.

We get the best kid in the land now. We will probably do so next year as well.

Not having a top three pick and tier certainly that goes with that was not worth 4 & 7. Simple.

The reason I would have traded 1 is as follows

With all the aggressive talk on trading pick 1, to now say no to everything, means that the pressure on #1 is really high. We are effectively saying that 2 picks inside 10 isn't as good as whoever we take. Do you not think the impending CONSTANT comparisons between Petracca and whoever GWS take won't have an impact?

I'd rather be judged on the 2-3 players we would have gotten opposed to just the 1.

Because you could also claim that whoever you got at 4, was who you targeted at 1 and nobody would be any wiser - it's a win/win - at least for the sake of the mental state of the kids involved.
