My view is the last couple of years the trades have been so complex probably only the list managers know who won the trades.

Only for next year, which is pretty short term thinking compared to actually getting decent draft picks which could set us up for longer. Not a huge fan of that's the path we go down.

We get a first and second round pick...

Not happy about this. He should have been a real priority to bring in. The fact he's committing to Sydney long term means we missed a great opportunity plus he takes all the player and club intel to a fierce rival. Very poor.

I'm not sure where all the talk about Griffen being washed up comes from. He has been in our best 22 since he arrived, whether we agree with Leon's call or not. I think as long as he's fit he will start next year there at least.

I'm willing to admit my opinion is often different to Leon's. Personally I haven't been too impressed with his impact since he moved up here, and wouldn't be upset with seeing a younger player step in given our core is now hitting their prime and experience isn't as vital to import as it was. I'm not sure where the salary cap dump came from though.

I get where your opinion comes from, and I dont disagree. It's seems to me we've had better talent available in the midfield.
Leon's never wavered though, and even had a go at critics of him suggesting the public dont see his input.
I was just being realistic.

Agreed. Not sure what the situation was there but surely we would have had plans for him to be a coach from the day we brought him in?

There was no equal position available for him at the Giants is the official line. Which must mean the ruck coach is the only job available.
The fact he's staying in Sydney and goes to our enemy...disaster.

I didn't want to believe it till it happened. I can see Wilson being an issue, but I suspect everyone will tip toe because of McCarthy. Interesting to see hiw it develops.
Wish Matt and Devon well, it's their call
Totally different situation to McCarthy as Wilson signed as a 17 year old with us all the way back in 2010 so his put in 7 years with us so unlike McCarthy has credits in the bank and has a very reasonable reason for seeking trade.

Fair enough
I just meant in terms of a contracted WA player going home. I think he should be traded to the best we can get from WC or Freo.
Could argue the club has invested more in developing him than Cam though
Also with Devon going we no longer have any players under 180cm, but hopefully we can trade in a pick to get Higgins and maintain our quota of one player under 180cm.

All he said was that he had homesickness when first at the giants but got over it but that wasn't the issue, the issue was that his partner wanting family support with there soon to be born child.

Disappointed re Wilson news. Don't blame him though.
He'll be hard to replace, if even possible. Few players can kick the ball as far as he can, let alone hit a target from as far as he can.

Different cituation to McCarthy.
Wilson has been open and honest and didnt just dump it on the club.
Im sure the 3 will get to where they want to go and we will be fairly delt with by those clubs.

I don't see any need to resent MaCarthy. He was a teenager after all. I just hope thete's no repeat.

Not really. More towards the way his manager handled it.
