Great question - and even after doing that why didn’t we also then trade our future third and get 27 and use 27 and 31 to get into the teens and pick up Macrae or someone else promising.Ummm, ok.
So why did we hand over 2 x 3rd round selections for pick 31?
No need to move up now to grab Macrae if we want him.Great question - and even after doing that why didn’t we also then trade our future third and get 27 and use 27 and 31 to get into the teens and pick up Macrae or someone else promising.

Regardless, our trade is either a result of very poor planning or shows a lack of insight and knowledge.No need to move up now to grab Macrae if we want him.
We can move up at any point until he is off the board on draft night.
No, but it's becoming apparent that Austin is the Brendan Bolton of List Managers.Has it occurred to you that Gold Coast don't like us much?

It was just a throw away comparison to support the argument. Tuck was a skinny monster who quietly destroyed teams and won flags. Kink was a man mountain who struggled on big games, often gave away free kicks trying to physically impose himself. Very talented, kicked with both feet well. They typical */Filth Home and Away bully. Proves your comparison in that era.I never saw either play.
Most of the time, I'll take the skinny bloke that's deceptively strong over the gorilla. One of these two has trouble getting up to their top speed and changing direction, where the other will only occasionally get beaten for strength but will get to an awful lot of contests and at least halve them if not win them outright.
Honestly, it would have been a better move for us to employ the services of someone like Matt Rendell. He provided really good insight during trade week and was very knowledgeable. Clearly knows his stuff and has been apart of some very good recruiting decisions.Has it occurred to you that Gold Coast don't like us much?

That's going very earlyNo, but it's becoming apparent that Austin is the Brendan Bolton of List Managers.
The signs are there if you're willing to look.
Sydney traded our third rounder for pick 37. We can't make a trade for a deal that wasn't on the table.Regardless, our trade is either a result of very poor planning or shows a lack of insight and knowledge.
I was critical when Austin handed over pick 8 for Saad. In fairness, one could argue either way as to whether that trade represents value or not as Saad is a mature age player and brings some traits we're lacking. However, our pick swap to move up the board to 31 isn't subjective. The deal we made blows big time.
Maybe don't judge too early Eiffel. Let's see what happens before we write Austin offThe signs are there if you're willing to look.
The deal we did was fine..Gold Coast just seem to like gifting picks to Geeling. Traded their pick 11 concession pick last year for Geelongs pick 27The signs are there if you're willing to look.
Clearly a deal of pick 27 for a future 3rd was an option if we had gone direct to GC because that's the deal Geelong made.Sydney traded our third rounder for pick 37. We can't make a trade for a deal that wasn't on the table.
Ok, I'll hold off for now. However, if he continues down this path, I'll be creating a thread dedicated to Austin.Maybe don't judge too early Eiffel. Let's see what happens before we write Austin off
It's basically the same deal...We were ever only going to use two picks this year and we have used our future 3rd to get pick 31Ok, I'll hold off for now. However, if he continues down this path, I'll be creating a thread dedicated to Austin.
You've lost your mind just a little too early...and as far as Bolton is concerned....our issue seems to have been in throwing the keys to the city ...ala hot potato....to the next newbie in order to 'hope' they'd take us to the promised land.No, but it's becoming apparent that Austin is the Brendan Bolton of List Managers.
Hopefully the only possible explanation is that they wanted Melbourne’s future third more then ours. Our third this year has zero value to them.Ummm, ok.
So why did we hand over 2 x 3rd round selections for pick 31?
It's not because this years 3rd rounder could have been packaged up with other picks to move further up the order.It's basically the same deal...We were ever only going to use two picks this year and we have used our future 3rd to get pick 31
31 for 48 and a future 3rd seems more than reasonable to me.Regardless, our trade is either a result of very poor planning or shows a lack of insight and knowledge.

Please. Head to the club Facebook page if you want to put forward that kind of garbage.No, but it's becoming apparent that Austin is the Brendan Bolton of List Managers.
That pick 48 would most likely come in 11 spots by the time you factor in picks consumed by matching academy/father son prospects. So it's not really pick 48. We're really talking about pick 37, which is pretty much an end of 2nd/start of 3rd rounder.31 for 48 and a future 3rd seems more than reasonable to me.
You seem to be placing an absurd value on a pick that may push out towards 50.
Doing it differently to the way you'd do it doesn't make it poorly planned or executed nor does it show a lack of insight or knowledge. That's just silly.
And the Saad deal is completely irrelevant to the discussion.

Throwing the keys to Bolton is just conjecture, no matter how many times you say itYou've lost your mind just a little too early...and as far as Bolton is concerned....our issue seems to have been in throwing the keys to the city ...ala hot potato....to the next newbie in order to 'hope' they'd take us to the promised land.
Right now, Austin has already done a lot more right than he has done wrong.
Maybe SOS wold have done it better...maybe not....we'll never know for sure. Maybe it will matter and maybe it won't. We've done well to date, though.
And by that theory every kid in the draft picked after Ugle-Hagan will be aware they were not the player their club would have picked if U-H had been available, but so what, they have less pressure on them that way!!!And pick #2 forever knows that he isn't the player that the Crows wanted.
