We still would’ve got McVee eventually. No chance Melbourne would’ve risked him walking to PSD.
Regardless the chances of us getting him for 33 were very low.

It may seem bad now, but these sorts of trades you can't really call a winner or loser until 5 years down the track. We'll see how McVee is tracking then, I imagine most people will be happy with what we've ended up with. To each their own though.
 
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.
Brisbane gets 22.

Disagree. 0% chance clubs like Geelong would have done this trade, because it was not at all necessary.

I need a ****ing Xanax or an immediate tweet from Twomey correcting his tweet.

There is simply no way not only did we give up 12 and 33 for less points in 19 and 23 but we also had to give up pick 50 and turn 44 into 46 to make it happen?

Brisbane offload a player one head knock from retirement and get points to match bids.

Eagles gave up 2263 and gained 1564 PLUS Starcevich. ~ pick 22 value
Now Brisbane gets 1848 points value gave up 972 PLUS Starcevich. ~ pick 18 value.

Freo still light on. I actually had it the wrong way around in above for us.

We bring in 1583 points value and trade out 1760 points value.

Man! I'd be livid if our list managers did something like that and said as much on our board.

I don't understand the rationale....

Look on the bright side,

Already seen Melbourne fans saying we bent them over with that trade.
Fans of either side are never going to be able to accurately price players. We laugh at people like Danster and then come up with our own equally ridiculous scenarios.

Pick 33 is kinda baffling to give up but I also don’t really give enough of a shit about pick 33 to melt down.

Sad thing is, half this board isn't even surprised.

I knew we would stupidly downgrade our first round pick.

Hopefully he can turn our picks into an upgrade somewhere to redeem this garbage

Remember we got Reid with pick 14 last year I think?

That’s around the ball park pick 12 would’ve been, so a similar player could’ve been on the cards.

19 (which will end up 23-25ish) is quite a significant downgrade.

I also absolutely despise the fact we’ve helped West Coast - we shouldn’t ever be trading with them, under any circumstances, especially ones that favour them.
