There's only so much Twomey can put in a post on X without a blue tick account so that's why he's gone for a screenshot.

Good that it moved so fast with McVee getting done quite early, plus we can get up to 30 pages of melts here while we wait for the full details to be confirmed tomorrow.
you make a good point, we essentially got 30 pages of melts for equivalent of pick 44

So we give up the equivalent of pick 44.
Brisbane get the equivalent of 43 for Starcevich.
Eagles get Starcevich for free (13 points difference in their DVI value)

Everyone knows the DVI index means nothing. That’s why it’s getting changed!
 
Nah, 100% can't be the complete trade.

Freo gave up 1583 points to bring in 1760
Eagles gave up 1577 points to bring in 1564 points PLUS Starcevich
Brisbane gave up 972 points PLUS Starcevich to bring in 1162 points

None of it adds up, except for Eagles who make out like bandits.

Freo and Brisbane equally shafted, which would suggest there's more to this deal.

We were going to have to pay regardless, the pick is going to end up in the 30s regardless so it would be around what our original pick was anyway.

It's not that deep in my opinion.
Pick 19 becomes 25 after academy selections… we’ve effectively traded our way out of the first round entirely just to get an ok defender.
 
All this anger will disappear when you see McVee streaming off HB in 2026, delivering the ball on Treacy's tit inside 50.
Pretty much my takeaway, the trade itself is pretty questionable, but nobody will care once McVee is tearing it up for us.

An okay defender I think is under selling him a bit, he immediately slots into the Best 23, he's only young and his potential is sky high.

I get people's frustrations, but nobody will care about the trade once he's out there for us playing good football. It is what it is.

We still would’ve got McVee eventually. No chance Melbourne would’ve risked him walking to PSD.
