Cal's manager saying he is disappointed in the Lions, WTF. What about the f ing Crows not valuing Cal at more than a late 2nd rounder.

It probably delays his commission pay check.

 

[Saucery]

The melts on the crows board are delicious.

And as I said there, this was never about what was reasonable, it's about sending a message for the years to come, as many of our squad will be approached.

It's saying to the other clubs 'If you don't play our game, we will call your bluff', we're just sending a warning, as an example, as against gaining a few picks that really aren't worth a lot.

Tom Petroro is surely the angriest man in the country right now. Good on Essendon standing firm.

 

[Nathan Barley]

If it wasnt for changes to the academy points system it probably wouldve been a lot easier for the crows to get a deal done

So two things are possible for Ah Chee.

1. He signs a new deal with us.
2. He goes into the Pre-season draft and probably ends up at West Coast.

Is that about it?

Far better for Cal to stay and win another Premiership or two

I would have taken the picks & run lol. I reckon that one will repeat every year until he leaves Essendon.

 

[3KZ is Football]

I’d love Cal to stay.

Nah Essendon were ridiculous. They got a fair offer for a 30 year old. There's a reason why they haven't won a final for 20 years

 

[RoyBoy17]

Didn't realise it was incumbent on us to do a deal? Walked to the PSD due to being dished up crap.

 

[M Malice]

I think this is the final post trade period outcomes, cliff coming for the Pies IMO.

 

[Gadzorks]

Those picks could have useful when we could bank picks for academy/ fs drafting.

Worth nothing (or very little) now.

First indication of how the new draft rules are going to impact trading. Hasn't helped get a top tier player (competition wide he is to tier) to a lesser team. Swings and round abouts.

Think on that st kilda.

1 won't happen. He wants the $$$$$, which is fair enough. He deserves to live out his AFL career getting good coin.

2 is unlikely as Cal has his heart on Adelaide.

Look at what the Blues just did..
Then look at the draft capital Pies have left. Most of their players about to retire in 1-2 years. Have not many young kids blooded.. Reminds me of us after the 2004

Good.

How does the PSD work?

West Coast pick Cal and they have to negotiate a contract?

If they can’t agree on a contract, Cal doesn’t sign anywhere?

 

[Cockliff38]

All things considered a good trade period for us; Geelong, Adelaide and Hawthorn stayed the same, and Collingwood got worse. Reckon Gold Coast losing depth and banking on a past-it Trac will come back to bite them (but obviously the JUH gamble could pay off).

Freo, Swans, Giants and Blues could improve next year.

 

[DevRoboGun]

When you think a “late second round pick” is worthless. Next minute generational 18 year old key forward.

But we don't need a generational 18 year old key forward from next year's draft.

We already have two

 

[luthor]

When you look at the picks that other clubs gave up for players less credentialled than Cal, the Crows offer was a lowball try on if not an insult.

I feel for Cal being put through the proverbial wringer but It was important for us to demonstrate to the comp and to our own players that in future, we're not going to cop cynical unders from other clubs .

Cal will probably get to the Crows via the PSD but it's not guaranteed. There have been instances in the past where another club has jumped in.

The Lions and the Eagles scratched each other's backs in this trade period and it's not beyond the realms of possibility for the Eagles to pick up Cal via the PSD.

Irrespective, Adelaide's arrogance in this non-trade will hopefully,come back to bite them in thecfuture.

What goes around comes around

He was the 2nd pick in the second round of his draft

and also two handy guys in their 20's

plus 3 father sons and a few academy kids

 

[braddsey]

I haven't watched any of the talking heads or Dom on this, but I don't mind the trade didn't go through.
Similarly, I think it's not a bad thing that the trades for Merrett and other's couldn't be agreed.

Even though Cal was out of contract, making it more difficult will make sure agents have to work harder, rather than having other clubs come in waving the checkbook thinking they can poach players.
He is not a free agent, so a trade must occur.
Even if he walks to Adelaide, as long as the list management team have it under control I am not concerned.

 

[Squizz89]

Feel for Cal mostly in all this. Say what you want about both teams as to who was ultimately at fault for the deal not going through, but it leaves a bit of a sour taste in the mouth now from both parties for a guy who played a huge role in successive finals (particularly GFs), which ultimately lead to him becoming a dual premiership player with us.
