Completely agree.


My feeling is that in 3 years' time, most will have long forgotten that Wardlaw had hamstring issues in his draft year.


Without injury, he would be a certain no.1 selection.


I still think he is the best player in this year's draft by a clear margin - with North looking hard at Cadman, we have one hand on him already - I don't understand why we would consider trading that away.

Because O'Brien loves defenders with midfield potential or forwards with midfield potential.

He's struggling with the concept of drafting a midfielder with midfield potential.

 

[Keys]

Keys is Robertson actually a chance to be traded or was that a potential/Wishlist you posted earlier?

Nah, I was just ******* about to see if anyone was paying attention

I'll lose my s**t ......If we don't have a player in the top 10 photo on draft night after having pick 2

 

[Monocle]

I watched Draft Day again last night and cheered on as Kevin Costner crushed that pancake eating mother *er in the final trade....

Then i remembered we have the meat pie eating mother *er working for us and my stomach churned......but then the rabbit hole went deeper as i scrolled through Disney Plus....

They fail to realise they are throwing in Riolli for nothing.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Fair call. So, what are your thoughts ?

My thoughts are mostly existential ones along the lines of "why do I keep coming back into this thread when I could be doing something more valuable and meaningful, like rearranging the three items of furniture I own over and over again?"

 

[sey666]

if we rejected 27 for Riolli + 38 earlier then why are we trading 2 + Riolli for 8 +12 now?

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

They fail to realise they are throwing in Riolli for nothing.

GWS were offering pick 3 +12 for 1

Going from 2 to 8 in worth ?

Plus rioli for free ?

 

[Tugga27]

Its probably the best we could get ...id take it tbh.

Why take it though?

Just keep pick 2 and they can offer something decent for Willie or he goes to the PSD.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

On the otherhand, we need to be drafting elite talent while we're at the foot of the ladder instead of a bunch of Duggans. As we improve in the next couple years there'll be plenty of opportunities to grab mid-1st round talent.

Should be plenty of branders and venables around too

 

[Coasters7]

It sounds like there’s only a couple of teams pushing the deal. Hopefully we’re just at the table to listen to the offers and aren’t really interested at all unless we’re getting a big package back.

I feel like we’d regret not taking Wardlaw more than we would if we didn’t take the 3 firsts and the next Fyfe was one of them.

The best mid in the draft is literally falling into our lap (assuming the North links to Cadman are accurate), we shouldn’t be giving that up for a “fair trade that benefits everyone”

Yep their is 4 top end talents this year . Ashcroft sheezel cadman and wardlaw

If we trade our pick 2 we are having 2 stabs on lesser talent .

Fair enough, still reckon there's alot more to it and doesn't change what I was responding to.

Don't reckon we'll come out disappointed

 

[30stm3891]

Pick 2 and Rioli

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Hbfers r us

Phillipou is a HFF

 

[plays tall 1]

Would our drafting team have been given access to Wardlaw’s medical info yet? Because if they haven’t been given access to it, it would seem a bit cavalier to trade away pick 2 .

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

The fact that we are still at the table listenning to and haggling over trades involving trading down/splitting pick 2 despite the fact that the deals being proposed so far are pretty uninspiring and unattractive to us tells me that we are pretty committed to trading down. I reckon that that decision has been made and we almost definately will end up trading down eventually.

Maybe you can also guess that the fact that the media reports of this deal are not suggesting that the deal is close to being done and the paperwork is being drawn up means that at least one party, hopefully including us, is not happy and not prepared to accept the deal in it's current form. The media report i just read on Foxpsorts said that it is "understood that the West Coast trading team are coming around to the idea", suggesting that we are still not totally happy with it and it is probably our objections holding it up.

 

[Bacchus]

Who do we take with 8. I assume 12 is for Hewett?

Why is every team facilitating PA who are just a bunch of ***kers anyway?

 

[Wagman]

Why are people melting when nothing has happened

Exactly

 

[CountryLad]

Hang on so

If GWS are offering 3 & 12 for pick one

Why is pick 2 + Rioli worth 8 and 12

We are getting ****ed even with lower picks thrown in.
Have we got a veto button on this Big Footy Board…..Keys hit the big red button

 

[Godfather32]

Why is every team facilitating PA who are just a bunch of ***keys anyway?

The one saving grace to trade week so far is that at least we get to see port and the cats try and out-campaigner each other over Ratugolea.
An eternal loop of massively one-sided trade offers going both ways until the end of Wednesday.

 

[CountryLad]

Why are people melting when nothing has happened

It’s what we do in here

 

[sey666]

GWS shouldn't bother trying to move up the draft order. Whoever they pick will end up at Richmond or Geelong in 2-3 years time anyway.

 

[GoldenEagle]

Would our drafting team have been given access to Wardlaw’s medical info yet? Because if they haven’t been given access to it, it would seem a bit cavalier to trade away pick 2 .

I think they'll all have a better understanding after the combine this weekend.
