I am loving the clubs fighting back against managers. Been a long time coming. Particularly like SOS telling Mackie to EAD.

Have to get on the phone to Ah Chee immediately, up Crows offer and take him #1 PSD.

Yeah, same here. Lots to like from the last half hour.

Sydney made a good offer for Curnow - three first round picks and a good, dependable player in Will Hayward.

Hawthorn tried to lowball Essendon with a worse offer which only included one player who they clearly don't value at all, and they got told to get stuffed. Merrett's manager should be pissed off at the Hawks, not the Bombers. Gold Coast and Sydney stepped up and made good enough offers to get the deal done; Hawthorn tried to get their guy by poisoning the well at Essendon and they flopped.

Good riddance.

 

[BartBart]

Hawks missing out on Oscar, Harley and Merrett

Going after club captains using a personality cult of Sam Mitchell as a selling point, then leaking info to media to make it untenable for them to stay at their club... and then not getting either.

Hate to see it

 

[Keys]

We’ve got 4 weeks to convince Ah Chee to move further west than he originally planned

It’s a free swing now

 

[Dark Sharks]

Yeah that was such an overpay for Merrett, and Hawks still told Sam to kiss their taint.

Seriously BSD energy.

 

[Sammy J]

He’d be a handy Liam Ryan replacement, that’s for sure.

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

I bet Brad Scott had a fair bit do with not trading Merrett. He could get sacked if there is another bad year next year. From the outside it looks like some people at the club were prepared to trade and some weren't. Thats why they were still talking to Hawthorn right up to the end.

 

[ziad]

...and if Curnow stays fit and isn't a bit cooked?

They've rolled the dice big time on this one. Fev to Brissie style.

Ha i thought Fev, but i dont think so. He will benifit from the skill around him (and he isn't Fev)

 

[Altum Volantes]

optics aside, Essendon were a bit silly for not taking the deal

Carlton have done well.
Melbourne have done well.
I think we did well.
St Kilda went… hard, very hard. If they don’t get it right they’ll be where we are now in 2030.

Hawthorn and Essendon have both self owned. Gold Coast have also had a mare.

GC did fine.

They still get 2 top 10 picks this year - and they get Petracca and JUH.

They got Pick 7 for Sam Flanders for gods sake - was he even in their top 5 mids?

 

[ghostbat12]

It's lovely watching Hawthorn and Geelong end up unhappy. Especially those w@nkers in Geelong.

Hawks - I think they offered what's reasonable. 4xfirst rounders is insane for a player past his best. not sure what Essendon think they got out of this whole thing.

saints - woah, whole aleer thing is shocking.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Surely Ah Chee ends up at WC

You gotta at least ask the question. Tack a few zero's on the end and if he says he isn't interested then move on. So much for the 'we want to get better now' line they were trotting out towards the end of this season, weren't interested in Steele, didn't throw their hat in the ring for anyone other than Ah Chee before he made his choice of club.

Can't wait for a month straight of 'West Coast will trade pick 1/2 on draft night' now.

 

[Ishmael_]

I reckon the Petracca deal and to a lesser extent the Curnow deal made it impossible for Essendon to accept that.

And Hawthorn? I hope it was fun acting the c*nt because you've been made to look a right c*nt.

I only hope, this splits Essendon internally and the Hawks slip backwards.

 

[archiemoses]

100% need to work on Ah Chee over the next 6 weeks.

 

[Mop]

GC did fine.

They paid an absolute mortgage and a half for Petracca

 

[unty11]

Will potentially getting Ah Chee affect us getting Dev?

 

[Mop]

Ambrosio from Brisbane going to town on Adelaide

No love lost there

 

[Mop]

Will potentially getting Ah Chee affect us getting Dev?

No.

 

[Barrybran]

Carlton win the trade period , back in the rock n roll of the AFL now .

It's very good business. You're not winning a flag so to get a middle-age player and upgrade three second rounders to first rounders is solid work.

 

[Patron]

Amazing that Merrett is stuck at Essendon.

Gotta give our boys at tbe Bombers credit - they have definitely put pride first and valued sticking it to the Hawks more than a golden chance to cash in a wantaway 30 year old when they are staring right down the barrel of a rebuild.

They'll all be jobless in 12 months.

They have a great draft hand already. Picks 5 and 6, as well as picks in the 20's. I reckon they were right to refuse. Hawks should have offered more.

 

[SpecialBruce]

Really hope Ah Chee decides to join you.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Probably afford him at 3 Years for unders.

We could offer him 5 at overs.

Yeah, just ring up his manager, ask what the Crom were offering, then add 20% to that. That'd probably make him feel better about not landing at the club he nominated.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Saw our old codger Rohan O'Brien there with the Bomber hierarchy.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Will potentially getting Ah Chee affect us getting Dev?

Ah Chee in PSD, Dev a rookie.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Will potentially getting Ah Chee affect us getting Dev?

Haha imagine it.

I doubt it though - they'd fanangle Harry Barnett to the Rookie List to make it work if they had to.

Just need to get Ah Chee on board.

 

[TerryFilk]

Should be on the phone to Ah Chee telling him we’ll outbid Adelaide salary wise, we have a spot in the 23 for you in your preferred position and you can be a leader for our young group.

He’s not getting to Adelaide in the PSD or ND.
