It sure looks like it for GC and Port at least. Collingwood looks to be doing ok thoughHoping it's a rare lose-lose-lose trade.
Comedy gold. I thought that campaigner retiredPort talking tough over two first rounders and wind up with Rory Atkins as part of the deal is hilarious

Well, given where we're at, I am not seeing Cripps, Bont or Daicos lining up to join us
the response was in the reply. We grabbed 3 good FA’s but had a shit coach. They tried for Dusty (almost had him) and then a few others but We had a shit coach. Clarkson did alright with FA’s in his past.My comment was it didn't suddenly make us a beacon for every sought after FA in town.
It’s another Gold Coast master stroke.So... the proposal is that GC give up more than the equivalent of pick 3 for... Collingwood's F1, John Noble, and getting Atkins off their books?

Yeah, Rory Atkins the deal breaker. Fukk mePort talking tough over two first rounders and wind up with Rory Atkins as part of the deal is hilarious
No, I don't think that works in our case. We are at the point where it looks and feels like we can get another three top 2 picks in and still win under 5 games. We aren't going anywhere purely with draft picks. People who think otherwise need to stop their obsession with draft picks.It isn't where we are at is the issue, it is getting a clear image of where we are heading.
Regardless of leg ups. The premise of their build has always been around acquiring elite talent. Even to the point where they offload elite talent to feed them more draft picks.The GWS team which had been given the biggest leg up in AFL history? The leg up where they used past top 5 players (because they had so many of them) to trade into draft after draft? GWS will probably be parity with NMFC in about 5 years when the likes of their hand outs hit retirement.
YepIf this goes through (as I expect it to) never ever doubt the fact that players almost always end up at their preferred destination.
I am so over being shit
Got to prop up the pies somehow. I mean, they did miss finals just this year.It’s another Gold Coast master stroke.
Because they dont need to panic. They had so much elite talent on their books they could trade into drafts into the first round with 2 early picks for over a decadeRegardless of leg ups. The premise of their build has always been around acquiring elite talent. Even to the point where they offload elite talent to feed them more draft picks.
You can spin it any way you want, but you can’t deny that they have ever hit the panic button and started throwing picks around for unders or overs for talent.
Leave that to the clubs that want to live in mid table mediocrity, all for a few wins here and there.

Hang on. 13 is going to the pies along Houston? What are the power getting other than Ratkins?Trade Radio saying Houston and 13 to pies for Noble and a future first?
Port would need to have shit for brains to do that trade.
they will get ports F1 for LukosiusSo... the proposal is that GC give up more than the equivalent of pick 3 for... Collingwood's F1, John Noble, and getting Atkins off their books?

Surely it's F1 & Noble to GC, 13 to Port, Houston to Pies with sweeteners going everywhere except PiesTrade Radio saying Houston and 13 to pies for Noble and a future first?
Port would need to have shit for brains to do that trade.
You're forgetting the top 3 pick after that. And the one after thatThe board can breath a sigh of relief. That number 3 pick next year will greatly contribute to our 2028 seasons fortunes.
