Alright, tin foil hat time.

Brisbane werent going to pay Allen enough to trigger band one unless WC ponied up for Starcevich.

West Coast said "ok Freo, Brisbane aren't going to pay Allen enough for band 1 so we're going to have two end of first round picks, we value McVee higher than one of those and we can front load a deal to him upwards of a million bucks next year. Or you could help us net Starc and our band 1 pick?"

In this case, if we have any doubts on Simpson at half back, then McVee is a must for us next year and I'm ok with us doing this trade.
Payback for making them pay up for baker
 
Maybe the quality of player later is so rubbish this draft that our pick 33 isnt a pick 33 this year. Maybe its closer to the quality of a pick 60. So the list managers are lining up pick value to player availability with it.
I'll eat humble pie and say I was looney if any single other trade this year results in the team with the highest pick LOSING draft capital

My opinion that no one gives a shit about is that yes I am disappointed if I lose $1, but I'm not going to cry over it, just like while I am disappointed to lose pick 33 for seemingly nothing, it's not going to ruin my day and I personally will not be handing in my membership over it. It's not a great trade but it's certainly not a melt worthy trade for me
 
I heard Wallsy sleeps nude in an oxygen tent which he believes gives him "special trading powers"

He's cooking something

I recall the accusation last season that Wallsy and Freo paid over Shai Bolton, but you have to acknowledge that Wallsy plucked Murphy Reid the best 'available/non father son/academy selection' with the first round pick Richmond sent your way.

McVee if he stays healthy is a blue chip 200 plus future game prospect with a couple of years of development in the system.

He will add a lot to your impressive depth and fit in like a glove

You guys are in the premiership window (realistically you should aim to pinch a flag or two in the next few years) and I think this type of trade is worth the somewhat marginal risk in this somewhat shallow draft.

I say with a fair degree of confidence that Judd McVee will become another Jordan Clark boom recruit for Freo.

Wallsy knows what he is doing friends 👊

The trade for McVee is fine, that is separate

Stay out of this Walls! It’s about you, so let us hammer you on the internet with no recompense, and impunity!

Alright, sorry for clogging up the thread, I'm just dumbfounded people dont see the issue or dont think its worth caring about if the club gives up a 2nd round pick for nothing. However, I've taken names, if any of you who think it's irrelevant dare to complain about Academies and teams getting players for free, then you'll be getting as many bin-reacts as I can muster

I'll go touch grass

Nothing is separate though. These things don’t occur in a vacuum.

Maybe west coast were making moves on McVee behind the scenes, and leaned on Freo, so Walls had to go.

Maybe there were no other good opportunities to generate a pick 20s for McVee, so walls went with what he had. Walls isn’t a campaigner who brinksmanships the 33.

The trade for me highlights how much the club rates McVee and doesn’t rate the draft.

That said, I appreciate what you are saying and remain hopeful a F3 is missing.
