Yeah, but we don't have Jenkins.And gave up a Gold Coast third rounder next year so the value is equivalent.
We got nothing for Jenkins but are paying half his salary.

So you happy with what we got for Greenwood?Don’t care about next year. We got enough future picks, plus academy and f/s players for next year
we needed a pick we could use this year rather than what everyone expected us to get for Jenkins which was something in the 90’s
Not reallySo you happy with what we got for Greenwood?
I see this trade period as a fail but not for the reasons most are saying.
Are the transactions wins or losses? Who cares. We traded very little of value, 10 percent more of nothing is still nothing.
More importantly, what is our list management strategy to get closer to win a premiership?
Are we contending next year? If so, why didn't we keep Keath and one of Greenwood / CEY?
Are we rebuilding next year? If so, why do we still have Lynch (29) Gibbs (31) on our list blocking kids from playing, and why didn't we trade a one or two of Smith (28) BCrouch (26) while they still have value?
Nope, we are just muddling along, happy to be somewhere between 5th and 10th, happy to have 45,000 fans turn up each week, happy to be mediocre forever.
I can't say I'm disappointed because this is exactly what I expected.
YepSo you happy with what we got for Greenwood?
Our oldest half dozen players are...The first team will likely be slightly older than average
If the senior guys like Lynch Gibbs DMac all play 22 games then we will be close to this year's average age which was about 26.5.
Never though I’d say this, but kornes is 100% better to listen to than McClure and Barrett, his opinions are unbiased compared to those other 2Laid down way too easy for Greenwood. Keath disappointing but can just about accept with focus on next year's compo. Others fine.
Bigger picture though, there was talk about Laird, Smith and Crouch (x2) going. We've only lost one definite best 22 and it remains to be seen how much better than alternative he'll be without Talia behind him. Whatever you think of Cornes at least he makes this point rather than rubbish about exodus, turn out the lights stuff that Barrett/McClure come out with.
If all we could get was a 3rd rounder for him then I would’ve held out, but for a 2nd it seems fairWhy the hell didn’t we hold out on Keath
I’ve given the reasons why I believe it’s epic.
Are we rebuilding or not? Loading up with a bunch of average picks ain’t going to cut it. We should have traded out some real currency and brought in quality picks for a proper rebuild.
It’s not a second. The second we got will very closely be matched by the third we gave away. We couldn’t even manage to give the future fourth rounder back instead of the third. That’s pathetic.If all we could get was a 3rd rounder for him then I would’ve held out, but for a 2nd it seems fair
The best 3 picks we have we already had. The best we brought in was 37. We added very average picks, the chances of them being the elite talent we need are very remote.Couldn't possible judge it at this stage, given we have traded out known quantities for draft picks (to which none of us are privvy to draft strategy). 5 picks within the top 50 young players in the draft could be excellent long term, 5 young guys all developing together.
Would we take Gould at 23?Wouldn't mind getting a pick inside Port's pick 18, reckon we'd go close to landing Will Day with that pick otherwise I reckon Port take him with pick 18
Clearly the strategy was to offload the players we did for whatever we could get our hands on. Can't judge players we haven't picked up yet thoughThe best 3 picks we have we already had. The best we brought in was 37. We added very average picks, the chances of them being the elite talent we need are very remote.
Yes Geelong are really old.Our oldest half dozen players are...
Mackay 31
Gibbs 30
Sloane 29
Walker 29
Lynch 29
Talia 28
Crouch b&f 25
If Gibbs gets back to somewhere near his average, and Mackay plays as the experienced SANFL player... That does not look too bad to me.
Compare it to Geelong...
Ablett 35
Taylor 33
Selwood 31
Hawkins 31
Jenkins 30
Touhy 29
Dangerfield b&f 29

Being a Dumb Poster. is this the end of the Trades, Swap Picks, and Delistings
So we wait for the Nat Draft or WAIT there's More if so would some explain what's next
My head can't take to much more (Bring on the Pre Seasoning Training)
and Heaps of GYM work for Jones,McHenry,Sholl,Davis,Mcadam,Butts,Murphy,Hamill,
The all could do with a extra 5kg on.

Picks swaps can continue to happen any time from now right up until (and during) the draft.
Delistings can still happen... I'm not sure what the cut off for those are, but I assume it has to be in time for those players to nominate for the draft.
Delisted free agents can still sign with clubs - again, I'm not sure exactly when that starts / finishes.
