put the melts away
Doesn’t matter cos we could’ve gotten McVee without giving up 33. It’s not one or the other

Somewhere in the chat I mentioned Fremantle splitting 12.
Mentioned maybe 12 for 20 and 26 with Bombers or 12 for 22 and 23 with Eagles.
Was promptly laughed at. Especially by Mike91.
Well the jokes on everyone because it seems we gave up more and just threw in 33, 44 and 50 too to get back 46.
Then paid 23 for McVee who is out of contract! LOL.
Let’s hope there’s more.
All the experts here got this dead wrong.
At least I suggested downgrading 12, but NO. No one could see our first rounder being used in anyway for McVee.
Oath. It’s a decent deal for all involved except Melbourne who traded a young gun for an average pick in a shit draft. The carry-on by some on here is crazy to me.I’m out of the loop. So we gave 12+33 for 19+McVee with some later pick movements?
Fine by me. Don’t understand the melts.
There is no world where 12 isn’t enough to get you 19+23.Perhaps, it is subjective, and clearly that is not what Freo thought, being in the room with the other clubs and having scouted both McVee and the draft.
Only if the only thing you care about is money. That $3 ice cream could be the perfect thing you needed on a hot day, and the experience of it worth every centIt doesnt matter, do I need to be an expert to understand that buying a $3 ice-cream with a $5 note and getting $1 change is a shit deal?
Ok I stand corrected - it’s still going to blow out some more, and seems an unnecessary trade from us in my eyes.It's Brisbane's pick. Our charity pick is already out to 23 now.
No, I've either given away $1 for no reason or had it stolen from me. It doesnt matter how good the ice-cream is or what I needOnly if the only thing you care about is money. That $3 ice cream could be the perfect thing you needed on a hot day, and the experience of it worth every cent
Plus the next time you go, you realise that you only have $2, but the cashier remembers you and lets it slide.Only if the only thing you care about is money. That $3 ice cream could be the perfect thing you needed on a hot day, and the experience of it worth every cent
Oh I like this perspective and I am going to run with it. Cheers.Oath. It’s a decent deal for all involved except Melbourne who traded a young gun for an average pick in a shit draft. The carry-on by some on here is crazy to me.
The metaphor works better if you have 5 $1 coins in your pocket and then choose to give them all up for the ice creamOnly if the only thing you care about is money. That $3 ice cream could be the perfect thing you needed on a hot day, and the experience of it worth every cent
It's only this part of the trade that I really have trouble with, sliding back 7 spots out of the first round to gain only 10 in the second?There is no world where 12 isn’t enough to get you 19+23.
Sometimes it's our turn to get a lick of the ice creamThe metaphor works better if you have 5 $1 coins in your pocket and then choose to give them all up for the ice cream
I agree. But not just this trade, also with the Naicos clickbait bullshit earlier today too. Really frustrating when one of the very few trusted journos starts pulling this shit.I’ve usually liked Twomey. That shitshow of posts was the first time I thought ‘what is this guy doing?’
Drip feeding information, all over the place, just for the scoop.
I still don’t trust its 100% right.
Would surprise me if there’s a F2 or F3 or future upgrades in there. Wouldn’t even surprise me if who gets what was incorrect.
Really poor form by him. He acted like a 12 year old.
If Twoomey hasn’t missed a pick somewhere, the trade we committed to with Brisbane and Westcoast is patently bad. It didn’t involve McVee and is not something we need to wait 3-4 years to evaluate. There’s a points index and we had the the best pick (12) it should have cost WC additional points to move up.Too simplistic an analogy, doesn’t work.
Agree to disagree, can argue it in 3 years time when whoever was pick 33 is probably delisted and McVee is a 3 time premiership player![]()
