Spoiler: 2024 Draft Picks

 

[archereleven]

We went from 3 wins to 3 wins with a worse percentage. They are justified.

Yet, clowns don't want to acquire a dual AA flanker with a deadly peg...
It's ****ing insane.

Pick 6-9?

With the amount of highly rated academy players next year it could easily be pick 6. Pick nine is probably a stretch though.

The saying of "Strike while the iron is hot" is never better made an example of Houston at the moment. He stays at Port for another year and gets injured then his price will drop for his next contract at Port or anywhere else he goes. He needs to takes what we are offering as all the other clubs wont be able to match us financially and he is set up for the life of the contract , most likely 5+ years.

It’s no fun if you spoil the ending

Weird when media is in our corner.

Apparently the industry attracts the best and brightest minds yet after 5 days of trades, we've had a total of two players move. One of those involved a player whose Club couldn't wait to move him on. A group of work experience kids could do better.

I can’t understand why they don’t take it back to being 1 trade week.

Teams can obviously do their ground work and back room talk between the last day of the H&A up to trade week. The AFL guides each through a mediation process.

Teams have 24 hours after opening up discussions during trade week to get the deal done. The trained mediator has a fair idea of player worth based on age, experience, accolades, player type, current/previous contract and potential new contract. The mediator guides the two (or more) parties to a fair deal within a confined time limit.

Like having ADHD, the extra time frame until deadline doesn’t actually help recruitment teams, players and agents get the trades done.

You just don't spend that kind of draft capital on a flanker. Doesn't matter how many times he's been part of the AA media circle-jerk.

If we want someone just because they have a deadly peg we might as well bring back Bread Mckenzie.

It's all just a pantomime to farm engagement.

I totally understand that perspective but I think he'd need to be 2-3 years younger for me to be on board with it.

I wouldn't be devastated if we paid up for him, but my preference is certainly going to the draft with any first rounders. The more talent we can pack into our list before Tasmania come in the better.

We're in somewhat of a fortunate position having high-end first round picks to inject into our list before the draft is diluted even more than it is in 2028. I think a large reason we're in the position we're in is because we were a middling team when GWS and Gold Coast entered the league and just before that point - we didn't have the opportunity to bring in any real high-end talented players during that time and it was just compounded by poor list management decisions later on.

Makes good sense. We had little high-talent banked, so when the stars of the earlier generation left, such as Petrie and Harvey, we were left with mostly mediocre players.

Another unhinged clown.

So Bread McKenzie is the equivalent of Dan Houston.

Have a lay down mate.

I, probably, should have replied directly to the relevant post above, rather than tossing my comment into the ether…

 

[zoomba23]

Are there many blokes who've requested a trade and then not gotten their wish? I'm just trying to imagine what the locker room would be like when the trade doesn't go through.

'Ah well, welcome back Dan, obviously you're not 100% committed to the club or you wouldn't have asked to leave in the first place, and now we're just gonna play 23 games with you and act as if nothing happened.'

Seems like the sort of thing that would piss off some more diehard players within a squad

Zoomba, the great Wayne Carey himself requested to be traded home to Adelaide at the start of his career. We know how that ended up.

Ryan O'Keefe was desperate to get to Hawthorn in 2011 and in 2012 won a Norm Smith playing against them

Yep, he got his wish eventually.

TALKS COMMENCE ON MACRAE​

EARLY talks have begun between St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs as premiership midfielder Jack Macrae seeks a move to the Saints.

Macrae has three years to run on his contract with the Dogs but officially requested a trade to the Saints last month.

Discussions have commenced on what a deal would take to see Macrae get through to the Saints, with St Kilda football boss David Misson discussing the club's draft focus earlier this week.

The Bulldogs have indicated they would listen to offers on Macrae, who has played 249 games for the club, but that they were keen to retain him. – Callum Twomey


It's only day 6.

No wonder nothing has happened. Day 6 is considered early to talk to an opposition club about a player that has asked to be traded to a certain club weeks ago.

 

[ferball]

My brain read that as ‘nothing much happens and we end up talking about potato cakes’

As long as you don't call them scallops.

 

[ferball]

I wasn't saying what we would prefer, I was talking about Melbourne's tactics and the rumour that they were after pick 2. This looks unlikely at the moment, as they wouldn't need to go after pick 13 first to get it.

Rawlings has already said that we would be happy to drop down two or three spots if we could get a future first. Knowing this, Melbourne could just make that trade directly and save themselves the extra pick 28 required to go via pick 13.

Maybe they'd rather trade pick 13 this year than pick next year.

 

[perplexed]

In the rumoured trade Melbourne first used their f1 + 28 to get 13, so they were losing it anyway.
