Brainstrust - what's the reason for this trade?

BEats me. MOving 22 back over 20 spots to move 10 up one spot seems bonkers.

Sounds to me like we are going for another Jagga deal.. moving up to a top3 type pick swap maybe ?
A deal must already be agreed to here

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Maybe Hawks said they're picking Dean? Dees did it to ess last year. Something not making sense on this.

 

[HarryFlashman]

Hmmmm

Nice, timely reminder that playing nice & negotiating in good faith is pretty bloody handy.
If we are helping out to the tune of 400 points to get what we want, good on us for looking at the bigger picture and being a facilitator & getting what we want

 

[Blue__Balls]

So let me get this straight...

Swans go "we'll give you Florent in the Curnow deal, we've talked him to coming" and we go "no thanks but we'll trade for Florent separately" and they've gone "yeah alright"

Has anyone ever seen this happen before? Their LM literally recruited for us. It's hilarious

Looks a bit like they tried to include him as a key component of the trade with "value", we said "nah, not good enough", they then tried to shop him for his genuine value and we went "Yep, future third sounds about right, we'll take him....now, what are you giving us for Charlie".

Could have just given pick 22 to Bulldogs for Khamis. Dumb trade if true.

 

[TheBlueCampaigner]

Pick 9 is going elsewhere.

 

[NavySteel]

On the Trade Radio feed the camera was just in the Blues’ rooms and one of the staffers was reading an email from Gold Coast

Screenshot or it didn’t happen

 

[Faucon Bleu]

Pick 9.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Even if pick 9 going elsewhere I cant imagine what trade pick 9 would get across the line that pick 10 wouldnt.

Need an F2 or 31 back in that proposed deal.

 

[Sweet Seventeen]

Good call. I wonder if anyone else could do 20kms a game back and forward then without catching a breath kick a 50m worm burner smack on full forwards chest.
No one can question Blake's effort. With a few more had it

Not questioning Blakes attitude, work ethic or work rate. He has been a solid player for us, time has come for him to find a new club perhaps.

We will see. Just so good to see this club making quality trades for players that will make us better. Feeling very much glass half full about next

year right now.

 

[Rugged Blue Bagger]

This is a recruiting lesson what we are seeing today

 

[Andonis1997]

What a day to have annual leave, got all day to follow along for the ride

 

[JimmyRabbit49]

I was more talking about the rule that you can't carry more picks into the draft than list spots you have (if I'm not mistaken).

Yep - but I was just pointing out that we may not keep all the picks we get in the swap

 

[kingkingston]

?

Makes no sense. Essentially give up 22 to move up 1 spot which does nothing as just as likely to get eaten by Dean bid.

22 would have got eaten up right in the Dean bid? So going back 20 spots doesn't matter and we get our original pick back.

 

[Michael Jezz]

If Curnow does not go through.
Ainsworth = Heyward
Florent= 3rd
Curnow either comes good at Carlton or traded for more next year.

Thank You Graham Wright

Go into hospital for a minor procedure. They knock you out for 2 hours and 35 pages of a bigfooty thread. Never change.

The very same thing happened to me yesterday! Best wishes on a speedy recovery.

Yes but we still need points to match the bid.

People keep talking as if the old pick values were still in place. Where you could trade out your good picks and match with a bunch of late ones.

Those pricks still owe us..why are we helping them?

 

[BlueHulk]

At least Ollie and pick 22 taken out of the Curnow Deal now.

Sydney know we mean business if they want Charlie.

Nothing of significance going back their way.

 

[Pixelshooter]

I love what Acres has done for us...but let's be honest - his shoulder is well and truly ****ed. A bunch of times last season he looked lame.

Think he was caught emailing the Suns on camera and has some explaining to do.
