And they could have done that without us. So why are we involved?FWIW the only reason I’m not completely raging is im convinced there has to be a F2 from Brisbane involved, otherwise they have made out like complete bandits if they’ve traded 19 and Stacevich for 16, 22
Chris25 As the resident draft expert, do you think this draft is a unique case where the pick swap as currently reported makes more sense than usual? Or is it still as bad as it seems on paper?

Doesn’t matter. You can not rate the draft AND trade away those picks for some benefit.Even if the trade sits as it is and we don’t get anything more, doesn’t feel like it’s the trade we need to melt about. We obviously don’t rate this draft.
Don’t forget the 44 we traded out
Plus the shit sandwichWalls = the devil, is that the summary of recent events? Everyone else except him are the trade/draft experts
This is how it looks, as per Cal Twomey (AFL.com.au), Ryan Daniels (Seven) and others:
We'll go through the deal club by club through the morning, but what I would say is it looks about as fair and even a deal as you get. No obvious winners, no obvious losers, everyone gets a bit of what they want and can now push on with the rest of their dealings.

PLAYERCARDEND- Melbourne IN: Pick 23 OUT: Judd McVee
Everyone with half a brain can see we unnecessarily overpaid in a trade we had no reason to be involved in![]()
Lions land West Coast captain, giving Eagles second pick in draft
Oscar Allen's move to Brisbane is official as West Coast finds out what compensation it will receive for losing its captain. Here's how day three of the AFL trade period panned out.www.abc.net.au
Last line in bold is a bit different to the commentary in this thread? haha
Ill wait until next wed before judging the trade. Walls might be cooking something else![]()

Mcvee for 23 is bout right
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.

Doesn’t matter. You can not rate the draft AND trade away those picks for some benefit.
As it stands, we’ve given away 33,44,50 for NO return.
What’s crazier is 33, 46 & 50 are right in Wallsy’s hitting zone, first time in his life he’s looked at dessert and said no thanks (it’s a low blow I know, firmly tounge in cheek comment)
I’m not sure Wallsy’s drafting is all that great after pick 40. Aside from Tracey in the COVID affected ‘20 draft his success rate is pretty ordinary.
Walker, Western, Tracey, Benning, Worner, Emmett, Knobel, Wagner, Reidy, Murphy, Delean, Jones, Carr, Riddle.
Treacy and a couple of borderline best 22 players. The rest are already delisted or haven’t played a game.
I think this is spot on Brisbane add money to Allen contract to get pick 2 for WC.Alright, tin foil hat time.

WC already pursued McVee and he turned them down. It’s an empty threat there and the WA clubs just end up ****ing each other over by doing that and make us pay a premium for every player who wants to return while Geelong get theirs for picks in the 20s at most:I think this is spot on Brisbane add money to Allen contract to get pick 2 for WC.
WC pay overs for Starcevich for extra $ to Allen.
Freo pay overs to make sure WC don’t pursue McVee.
