Zone selection wasn't he? Just like using a late pick for a rookie upgrade.

You are right. Why did footywire.com set me up to look like a fool !!! grrrrrrrr

Quick question, why so much love for a player selected at #97 in the 2013 draft who has only played 1 game in 3 seasons ???

He was a zone selection.

Try as I might, I can't find any recorded details on how those selections worked, but presumably they got him for a token late pick outside the normal workings of the draft.

Barrett sounds like a younger version of Mark Whiley....who we just delisted.

Tons better than Whiley to be honest. For starters, he has inside pace which we desperately need!

 

[Jimmae]

Didn't recall that he'd tested so well The Old Dark Navy's, his draft highlights really didn't show much in the way of pace.

That said much happier to look at him as a DFA, rather than as leverage in the trade that went down.

indeed he does.

perhaps why he wasnt included in the trade is that we wish to rookie him.

Not the same kind of player at all really, at least not the Whiley we had with hamstring problems.

More like Mitch Grigg, though apparently a smidge quicker (though the people saying Grigg is slow are probably relying on his combine times, which were incorrectly timed due to an equipment error, along with a few others including Sidebottom).

He was a zone selection.

Yup, that's how they worked. If you instead wanted to rookie them, you had to let them enter the ND first.

Geese, Louise.

Not as exciting as the candy bar info but heard Barrett might be in Navy Blue by as soon as Friday.

Was in the mix with the Marchbank trade but GWS wanted rid of Palmer due to their cap. Under the table agreement for them to delist and him to sign on perhaps?

If that was the case, wouldn't they just have added him into the Palmer trade?

 

[Jabba73]

If that was the case, wouldn't they just have added him into the Palmer trade?

AFL would have objected to a two player swap for an unused pick

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Think we were waiting to see all of the DFAs as well.

 

[Funk]

If that was the case, wouldn't they just have added him into the Palmer trade?

He would have to agree to the trade and it is possible that GWS still wanted to keep him at that point in time.

Seems like he was the last player cut.

 

[Azul]

Maybe they wanted to keep Barrett and hadn't finalised list plans.

It could be we're still debating list numbers ourselves - e.g. delisting contracted Liam Jones and rookieing him to free up a primary list spot. (like we did with Heath Scotland.)

Luke Bruest's cousin apparently.

Shit. I've been using the term 'loosy goosi' in reference to myself for years. NOW I find out I've been making a fool of myself...

 

[dragonsblues]

So what's the feeling. We only pick up Barrett? or Grigg from Adelaide as well?

There is some half decent talented DFAs going around this year, Achee and Green would have been considered too.

 

[RudyBlue]

EFA

DFA

 

[passmark]

DFA

SFA

Achee isnt a DFA. He wanted a trade to play with his bro, Port said No.

You should all read it - you might learn something from me

I'm guessing that humility isn't in the curriculum.

I'm guessing comedy isn't in your vocabulary

 

[HalAlaric]

Barrett may not be the certainty I first posted.
Has apparently had a medical with Port although perhaps he is just going through the motions.

Damn!!!

Trade you some irony for some of this comedy you speak of. I am assuming there is none on the shelves and will need to be imported. I'll wait.

I miss polly waffles. An absolute travesty they were discontinued...

Just saw this. I went to visit extended family on my recent trip back to Oz which took me out Melton way. There I found a local milk bar advertising in their window that they had Polly Waffles for sale. So I chucked a u-ee and in I went. While what I found wasn't Polly Waffles, they had an almost identical product, unwrapped and sold from a jar. Damn if they weren't even nicer than the original. Price was $3.50 a log.
