GC thought that about O’Meara but at least got paid.
I cannot believe we are giving him away, this decision requires an explanation from management.

Agree, not ideal to lose a talent but we have got as much as we could. Hope that isn’t traded back to Essendon for their 1st rounder next year. Ideally if we can get that first rounder and trade them back our own 2nd or 3rd rounder back for that choice.
This would give us 3 1st rounders next year and 2 second rounders and still 5 days to offload the rest of our collateral for more rebuilding picks.

This whole trade period deserves an explanation from the club.
Maybe even a round table of all the head guys, CEO, List manager, Coach, Captain.
That way they can all tell us what the * is going on.

Patton? where is he going ??
I’m absolutely lost for words.
Constantly drafting guys like Pickett, Setterfield, Ahern with high picks only to give them away for a packet of chips.
Now potentially losing guys like Scully and Patton who to me are just great clubmen you need around.
Gutted. Bewildered.

We had Matthews(or was it Shepherd) not 3 weeks ago come out and say we have cap issues like any other top club but that the numbers floating around were ridiculous.
We were all saying the ******* VFL media were full of s**t.
It appears we were right with the full of s**t part but not who was full of it.

wow just the icing on top of a pretty ordinary 2018...
we'll say this every year but gee we need to nail the draft big time this year.... I think we are going to struggle to make the 8 in 2019 and its a very real possibility we don't play in September next year.....
if J-Pat goes - thanks for your efforts but time to move him on - we've been patient with General with his injuries, hasn't lived up to expectations unfortunately.

I can accept moving guys on if they don't wanna be there, but trading quality talent for peanuts is an absolute joke after bringing guys in who are washed up and spend more time in rehab than on the field.

Hiw long before we need to sack the coach and gaol the administration for lying I wonder.......
Some people really need to harden up, it's Deja vue all over again.

I am a big fan of GWS and love watching you guys play in full flight but I am absolutely bewildered as to what the feck is going on with your club in this trade period.
It is absolutely baffling.
I remember Dylan Shiel being interviewed at the end of the season saying how he didn’t want to leave and was really settled.
And now he and a string of other talented players are being traded out. Staggering.
Whoever is responsible for your list management and salary cap spending/budgeting needs to be fired immediately.

Looks like were making a hard reset where were going from a start up club with extra cap space and extra list spots and a best 22 filled with A and B graders, to moving to a club with a best 22 that will have 8 - 10 top end talent with most other spots being taken by role players. This was always going to eventually happen and we tried to hold on to top end talent for as long as possible and its just a case of the dam wall finally breaking.

Well this is one way of addressing the injury curse... trade it away :s
When the dust settles
I might be reading too much into your posting these days...
not trying to be prophetic I am confident that the Giants have a plan.

To much to soon Raymann. Been a hell of a few days and we are basically giving them away.
I live in hope you're right.

I hope the right decisions are being made. We still have a strong list capable of a flag

We need some good news and I dont mean a fluff piece about numbers being up. We know they are. Can see it through Sydney.
Scull was signed till 2021. Thought that would be it.
Brings into question will Tobes bolt? Jezza? Ward?

Contracts mean jack all and the players know it. Losing shiel, lobb, setters, finlayson, scully and patton in one off season has got to be one of the worst trade periods to date. I wonder if Scully wants out now that Shiel his close mate is getting squeezed out. Though puts into question even if we can sign kelly or cogs to long term deals, they could just request a trade and go home at any time. The stuff happening in this trade period will set a very poor precedence for all our contracted players in the future.
Frees up probably close to 4mil in cap space but leaves us with gaping holes everywhere. Havent heard us in the running for any players because we probably have dam walls collapsing everywhere with players wanting out. Lets go target gawn/grundy and screw the rules.
