Hahaha holy **** they even had the balls to ask us for a sweetener!

The funny part is not that they asked...

 

[Adz2332]

what a stupid deal.
i really really cant see that being it. something has to be thrown in for port? rocky?

 

[Spadge]

umm in what universe is Pearce Hanley worth a first and a third rounder?
surely this is absolutely wrong

This trade is like giving up a packet of monte carlo biscuits for 2 packs of arrowroots

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

I've been tossing up as to whether to bother renewing my kids memberships. Being away from Adelaide they really don't care like I do. My mind it seems has just been made for me.

I generally hate the teat up membership comments. But this takes the cake.

Oh my ****ing god

 

[elpirate]

We are fast becoming a unique blend of Richmond and Fremantle.

That proposed trade looks like absolute rubbish to me.

If there is any truth in it at all KT needs to be all over Kern and Davies, as there is unfortunately a real risk they are desperate enough to survive in their own roles that they could set the club back even further.

If this goes through then KT is tainted too.

Hypothetically speaking, what would it take for us - or any club - to secure Xavier Richards? I would much rather we put an offer to him than Aaron Black, if that is still a thing, assuming he isn't Victoria-bound.

SYDNEY Swans grand final player Xavier Richards has requested a trade to a Melbourne club and his manager says the cost of living in Sydney is the key factor in his desire to move.

...

“If you’ve got money to spend you’d get better value in Queensland or South Australia than you do in Sydney. Living in Sydney makes it tough on a lot of players.”

“He will be able to go home to Melbourne and live with his parents initially and put some money away, that’s been impossible in Sydney,” (Richards’ manager Phil Mullen) said.

'Carn, Xavier. You can live with mummy and daddy in Melbourne, or you can be your own man at Port Adelaide'.

It could well work out to be a good trade, but we are basically betting on ourselves v- which in itself is what worries me - we have been brought into the trade and on paper come out of it worse than anyone - on the law of averages.

If it went through, we would have 9,19,30,49,85,103. Potentially we would use 85/103 for rookie upgrade, leaving 9,19,30,49 as picks in this years draft. In isolation it makes this year look ok, but next year only looks Ok if we push up toward top 4 or 5.

I have another concern, in Pittard coming out of contract, possibly not being a restricted FA, and talk around of FA compensation being scrapped .... if our luck continues (bottoming out when GC/GWS come in) we could lose Jasper for nothing.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

Can't they see that they need us for this deal to go through. Not other way round. They want the players moved. We need to be getting the pick 22 not 30

Even dumber. At least there was some kind of incentive in it for her (money). We literally gain nothing from this.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Gold Coast had better given us some sort of gentlemans agreement to give us a high pick for ah chee.

Who am I kidding, this is outright terrifying.

 

[1954]

If this goes through then KT is tainted too.

No argument on that score from me.

 

[Portia]

We need to be keeping our 2017 first round pick, **** the other details

 

[Seanybruz]

What I don't get it is if we're putting up a much valued future first round pick surely we could get a better return than an end of first round pick & pick 30 which will be pushed back after academy selections?

How are we not at the very least getting a pick as high as the Hawks got? Seeing as we'll likely finish behind them anyway...

You know this will happen.....

Everyone else will get good compo picks but as soon as we lose an Ollie or Jasper type they will scrap it and we will get nothing
It will be like pick 1 priority picks all over again when they scrapped that after the Vic clubs cleaned up and then when we were beyond awful they scrapped it

This! Unless we're bringing in Jesse Hogan there is no 'good deal' for us if it involves our 2017 1st!

 

[Adz2332]

i dont care if its pick 19 and 22 i still wouldnt do it for next years 1st.
I would only THINK about it if it was for a high first this year. our first next year for say GCs 8?

Our first next year and 56 for 8 and 30. then yes sure

 

[Zakk Wylde]

I just think we all need to take a step back, and look at how the trade period plays out as a whole before we go loco.

This is not a one and done trade. Some shuffling and re-jigging to come.
