Port apparently hate this draft with a passion. I can see them parting with pick 48 without too much fuss...chuck em 68 for some nga matching and we walk out of there without too much damage done, and mcvee rebounding off our flank...
We don’t need 48. We go with 19 and another under 50. The last pick will be Whan bid on after 50 so is irrelevant. I think to even take 3 players in ND we still need to move one of Sturt or Carr to the rookie list via delisting and rookie draft listing.

So no real value in 68>48. Plus port won’t do it.

We wait and see if they get a pick at all just in front of 46. Still can’t get my head around why of all things we downgraded 46 to 44 (especially when we basically gave Brisbane 50 for free anyway). If we kept 44 it would make more sense to me overall - even though it isn’t a great deal.

50/51 was not needed. So getting another pick at 48 is also not needed.

The goal with Brodie is to trade up 46/47 or otherwise get a future pick. Either way it won’t be much as we want his salary off the books.

He might actually be close to having negative trade value tbh.

Think both clubs just do the trade for a nothing pick though.
 
So Brierty says we have two live picks in the draft. If we are taking a single player as a pick and then Whan we are looking at nothing being worth anything except the first pick and even then - if you've got your mind set on a player, you only need that to be his value.

Future picks from Port.
Don’t think port will trade there futures they have a couple of gun NGA & father sons next year
 
As I said the trade can't be justified in isolation, but if your thesis is it's bad trade because Walls is an idiot who can't trade the you should shut up. Give us an actual reason.

Its also annoying to have to listen to it because we don't know what the rationale is. If and when we find out then we can have a fresh melt, but in the end it's still melting about a third rounder so ffs shut up. You'd think we'd just drafted Tambling over Franklin.
 
Yeah I’m with Bubby on this one. All the melts have been had (probably about half by me) but there’s nothing new to be said it’s just going around in circles. Be nice if people could stop trying to justify the trade.
Be nice if people would just move on and forget about it, it's done!
 
The trade itself is pretty bad, but unfortunately there's nothing we can do now, it's done. Out of our control, there's only so many things that are in our control.

I don't think the trade is justifiable, but shit, unless we can go back in time, it isn't going to change.

So Geelong are offering picks 18, 37 and some dude called George Stevens for Charlie Bloody Curnow!!!

And yet there’s bros on here trying to convince us every pick after approx pick 12 on this draft is worthless…

Make it make sense?
So you're basing a counter argument on a trade offer that hasn't been accepted? Riggggghhtt.

At least now we've gotten to the stage of melting about melts ill stop having to read new fallacies on the thing.

I shall now turn my melting onto watching other contending clubs get elite players in Curnow, Merrett and Petracca for a packet of chips
 
What will happen is Brisbane will match Annable. It will cost 16, 22 + one of their later picks.

They will then grab 19 off us for a F1 and some of those unused later picks: 43, 44, 50, 55, 67, 78

There’s a reason they have grabbed 44 and 50.

If Annable is bid on at 3 it will cost 16, 22 and 43.

If he is bid higher it will cost more.

Now although Eagles probably have no intention to use pick 2 on Annable, there’s no guarantee they don’t trade it and hence the little bit of insurance with some extra points.

I still maintain something more will come of this initial deal.
