Respect your opinion - what have I got wrong? BBB rejected an offer to negotiate a better one with no intention of going. As the season progressed and his form and injuries came into consideration we told him he doesn't suit our game plan and we would trade him. Higgins was told that if he wanted to leave and chase a flag we wouldn't stand in his way. BBB trade position is weak - Higgins marginally better.

We sacked Brown.

We didn't.


.....and told Higgins we would not stand in his way if he wanted to chase a flag.

We didn't.

Our position is weak.

It isn't.

Why haven't the trades been done if you believe this?
 
Will Phillips, possibly best player from the draft.


Mate I’ll happily drive the Phillips prairie-schooner

has everything we need to complement jy and LDU

You can be the driver with my blessing tales, but I assure you that you will be driving the tractor from hell.

Got to say I’m feeling pretty upbeat about this trade period.

We will only do a pick swap if it is to our advantage, meaning we will still get the player we intended anyway and some.

Market value will dictate what we get for brown nothing more or less, the idea we have disadvantaged ourselves is absurd, do people really think that the 17 clubs are going to get together and agree not to bid on BB so one club will get him cheap.

I think there will be element of deserved good will towards the Higgins trade so by definition we won’t be rorted.

yeah I'm ok hilly, thanks for asking mate, I don't often care who we pick in the draft, but occasionally I see something I really want, when I saw Caleb Daniel I wanted him with one of our two second rounders in 2014. I see so much in this kid Campbell, the way he attacks the ball and he is pure silk as well, just fingers crossed we bid, even though some in here think that would be crazy. and when those say what happens if Sydney don't match, I seriously say oh fu*k please don't match, but again, thanks for checking in, I am feeling quite good and like the path we are taking.

They could probably do that with 5

They want Hollands. It was mentioned on Trade Radio that they're trying to move higher up draft to Nab him.

They have specific needs now due to many years of building. We have lots of needs and hence pick 5 plus another first next year allows up to build quality quickly.

Daniel is a good player. Couldn't defend a paper bag but great with ball in hand.

You seem overly concerned with bidding on Campbell but if you have seen him (I haven't) and rate him that highly then ok. I just hope we only bid if we truly think he is the best player available

Can Mods pin this trade to the thread so we can stop the trade pick 2 nonsense, please.

Melbourne: Dom Tyson, Pick 9, Pick 53
GWS: Pick 2, Pick 20, Pick 72

That trade sucked. Doesn't mean we can't win trading down.

Wait a minute we have pick two, nine and Dom Tyson.
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Don't stress about it. They're trying to suggest that GWS will trade us 8 and 10 for 2 because "The Roos could be tempted to trade No.2 for two later selections in the top-10 as they look to replace as many as 13 players who are on the way out".

It's abysmally dumb.

So we don’t need 2 because we need quantity, so like Ben, 2 now has no value

If we trade the best pick we’ve had since Daniel Wells for two later firsts, then we deserve to be lambasted by all and sundry.
I am not going to quote me again, but FFS.
 

The Eagles currently hold picks 34, 60 and 91 at next month’s national draft, but could land another pick from Sydney if they agree to move back-up ruckman Tom Hickey. The Swans hold picks No.3, 25, 58, 62 and 82.
