2017 trade/draft thread

[twce13]

terry wallace is so ****ing stupid
westcoast get an E for doing nothing.

Sydney get a D for a 2nd round future trade....


hmmm...

 

[WCErevival]

Pick 2 is a good pick no matter the draft. As long as you don't use it on a key forward considering how GREAT Mccartin, Shache and Boyd's careers have been so far

Freo are going after that Naughton bloke aren't they? He's a KPP

 

[Quinz]

So basically everyone that sought a trade got one?

Except Swallow if I remember right. Could still happen PSD.

And Gaff

 

[Shoei]

Can we just scrap the Queensland clubs now?

 

[ep2018]

They won the trade period second year running. Mind you Weller was good talent. No guarantee they will get as good as player with 2.

 

[larrikin]

Matera for future 3rd

 

[DivideandMultiply]

How?

Represents a similar disparity in value as a best case for our deal, without the risk.

Matera for a future 3rd btw.

They get a top end mid and probably first look at the best tall at 5. Good effort.

Would make it sweeter still for them if Rayner was there at 2.

The deal for Weller this year went down similarly to the deal for O'Meara last year. You can really get bent over if you commit too fully to a particular player. There has to be a point where you walk away. GC should have this year; Hawks should have last year. Massive overs paid.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Probably the wrong draft for Freo to have those picks though. Reckon I would've wanted those same picks in next years draft if I were them.

It is a midfielder draft and Freo usually only go for 1st round midfielders. Business as usual.

hmmm...

The old Wallace logic. Look forward to hearing what his given Richmond and Hawthorn who did relatively nothing either.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

15 and what for 20 and 25?

Makes our deal look way worse.

We got three second rounders though...

 

[WCErevival]

Good effort for Freo but with Weller gone it leaves their current youth stock quality quite thin. Blakely and Darcy are the only real stand outs there. They are a bottom 4 team atm so could probably use some top 5 pick quality.

 

[avishka5]

You spelt midgit wrong.

Spelt H-I-G-G-I-N-S isn’t in Mon

 

[Monocle]

Geez we need someone like Brad Lloyd.

We've given up our first pick next year that's madness, big chance we'll be out of the 8 next season.

We get GC's second rounder back next year, with the way they have traded today there is every chance they get the
next season.

Every chance its pick 19 in next years draft.


Pfffttt ............ love your optimism ...... not.

What?

 

[squashface]

Jesus **** Fremantle absolutely smashed killed that

 

[DivideandMultiply]

How?

Actually scrap that the other pick was 52, it compares to a about mid tier result for us in terms of points disparity (WC slip and GC get close to finals). So I probs reacted a bit over excited.

However, the points addition of 52 probably doesn't reflect its lack of utility similar to our trade. 20 and 25 for 15 and 52 is pretty good deal still.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Pretty average trade period again by us but clearly the club is focused solely on the draft. Good luck in the draft lol

 

[Crimson King]

Fremantle bending over another club in a trade. BOY OH BOY WOW WEE!

 

[Biggie]

Well done Freo, #2 is a good get

Still a ****ed club.

 

[lewigie]

What the ****. Weller ain't that great, but I guess there's no go home factor for GC so he's now their franchise player

 

[Happy Mastenator]

On trade radio Gold Coast position was they had 4 picks in top 10 last year, have two first rounders next year. An established young player like weller was worth it.

I'm not as down on it as others. Weller is good, we'd be frothing over a third year player averaging 20 touches and with serious pace. Will average 25 touches a game this coming year.

 

[getgaff]

You spelt midgit wrong.

Don’t need to be tall when you got excellent footy smarts. Caleb Daniel, Toby Greene etc.

I’ve warmed more to Hunter Clark over the year but still love what Higgins brings.

Think with our batch of second rounders there will be an opportunity to draft a Brent Daniels or Gryan Miers.

 

[lewigie]

But seriously.. in the 10-15 range.
