Hope pick 33 moves up with Brisbane/GC picks being used to match?

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

We went from 16, 22, 23
To 12, 33

Can someone who is in the know explain why that weakens our hand when trying to get GC #7? (I'm assuming it's a points thing?)

Lots of people saying shit without an explanation. Can someone mansplain it to us?

Also: What have we got it the tank for NGA's? And will Chesser/Ryan picks make a difference.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

I admire your determination in responding to these

Mate I have a one year old, I know that when the sheets start getting wet ignoring it isn’t going to end well. Have to change the nappies on the fly or you all end up in strife.

[HoneyBadger35]

We went from 16, 22, 23
To 12, 33

Can someone who is in the know explain why that weakens our hand when trying to get GC #7?

Lots of people saying shit without an explanation. Can someone mansplain it to us?

It costs us circa 60 points aka **** all. Essendon the only club who can come close to offering what we can in a move for GC’s pick, and we can wink wink nudge nudge offer far more by not bidding on Uwland.

It doesn’t weaken our GC pursuit whatsoever.

Unfounded melts.

 

[Tugga27]

Well we just locked in a trade on Tuesday that could've been done any time between now and next Wednesday. For what benefit exactly?

Maybe now that Brisbane got what they wanted, the will lodge the FA papers tomorrow?

 

[VinegarStrokes]

No chance we trade for the GC pick now. Not because we don't have the currency, because we've just shown we won't use the threat of bidding of academy players with the Bris trade. That was our points advantage over other clubs trying for the GC pick and we just proved we are too soft to do so.

We offered 23 and Brisbane countered 16, instead of the Annable threat we scrambled to Freo involved with a week still to go in the trade period.

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

Jesus ****ing Christ is there anyone we haven’t spoken to? I like the broad net!

Trawling for crabs!

 

[Citizen Erazed]

I would usually never say no to swallow. But no.

 

[Biggie]

Maybe now that Brisbane got what they wanted, the will lodge the FA papers tomorrow?

I reckon you are right on the money

lol love how they threw Melbourne in there just to call it a 4 team mega-trade

 

[PremiershipNo4]

5 + 6 +20 for 1 and 12?

Don't blast me please

Sounds reasonable

 

[kaiserchief13]

View attachment 2449118

Shocking, yet again by this clown club. Freo got a 7 spot downgrade for Mcvee basically.

 

[maverick001]

I quite like the move from 16 to 12
Feel like at 12 (becomes 13) there’s a decent chance of getting say Dovaston or Farrow (perhaps unlikely but a chance) with Phillipou/Dalton fallback
At 16 (becomes 17) I reckon unlikely
And we’re still positioned to trade up from 12 if we want

Just hope Chesser into Young isn’t a net loss for us

 

[InTheWings]

Shirley you're not serious

I tuned in and they were talking about it.

It seems there are a few clubs enquiring about him. Somehow.... we have been linked.

 

[Tugga27]

There’s no triggers in that trade to protect us.

You know this how?

 

[PepperTom32]

So who slides to pick 12, soon to be pick 13? Cumming? Schubert?

 

[Byron_Clanger]

View attachment 2449118

Giving up all that for an unrestricted free agent...I liked the trade before it came out that we gave up the compo picks as well....BLECH

 

[Obeanie1]

5 + 6 +20 for 1 and 12?

Don't blast me please

We traded pick 2 for live picks 9 and 14 in 2022.

Split 3 for live picks 12 and 14 AND Ow.........nevermind in 2024.

Essendons picks 5 and 6 will slide to live 9 and 10, even 11.

Thats pick 1 all by itself. A slight pick upgrade from our 2022 split.

They want Duursma that bad we should ask for more.

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

I think there are a few clubs enquiring about him. It would be interesting if we are one of them.

Who the **** even is Lachie Neale?

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Everyone needs to reflect that (provided it's band 1 for Allen) the AFL massaged the situation for this to happen.

The starcevich trade wouldn't have happened without the PP.

How many incidents in previous years have there been of a club losing a player via free agency also bringing in a free agent. I can't remember it, BC it would always be highlighted about how the compensation pick gets diluted. Twomey even said as much, that the AFL is considering allowing bottom 6 clubs to take free agents without losing compensation any free agent leaving.

 

[Shifty1]

5 + 6 +20 for 1 and 12?

Don't blast me please

Are Essendon interested in either Duursma or CDT or just Duursma? Also, I think we'd make you overpay for 1 or else we'd just take Duursma. The above deal probably won't cut it.

 

[rebel23]

Now Schoenberg. Certainly casting a wide net.

Booo... Stop talking to shit players

 

[Wce17]

Hang on

So we gave up 19 and around 22 for 12. We paid overs. Way overs

+ 33 & 52

 

[amazingjoshy]

5 + 6 +20 for 1 and 12?

Don't blast me please

2 + 12 and its a deal
