Matt Clarke wraps up the trade period - 6PR

 

[Tugga27]

Does it not bother you that Geelong haggles over pick 88 whilst we hand out draft picks like a Pez dispenser?

One team contends almost every year and one has won 11 games in four seasons.

They have got their draft and trade staff right. We haven’t.

Yep

It does annoy the shit out of me.

But slagging Clarke and demanding he get the arse over just about every trade does get tiresome.

 

[bindi27]

Starc is a gun footballer, fantastic person and great leader. I can’t wait to see what he does with you guys - you’ve got yourself a gem.

 

[eaglevision]

Surely we give them pick 20 instead of 19 leaving us 4 picks before that one.

Nope. That’s reserved for Tyler Young.

[Hasselhough]

This is what I was thinking when I read Twomey as he usually has been fed the inside goss.
But I will wait for this 1 as only yesterday Pyke was on radio stating we will look at all options to trade up in the draft including using the priority pick.
It's a wait and see for me, there has to be more to the deal if we are using pick 19 for this deal?

Hawks pulled the biggest dick move last year and traded pick 14 out from under us . Was there backlash . Nope

 

[eaglevision]

Yep

It does annoy the shit out of me.

But slagging Clarke and demanding he get the arse over just about every trade does get tiresome.

At what point do you say look, this bloke isn’t very good at his job? Perhaps we should look at alternatives.

Swann replaces Kane and things move in a better direction almost immediately.

 

[bindi27]

Everyone keeps saying this

But he copped a big one on Saturday and is apparently fine

FYI Starc was cleared of concussion, he could have come back on the ground if we needed him.

Congrats on the acquisition, he is a gun.

 

[boondy]

Burning pick 19 on someone who's career cold be over next year, or the year after at any given contest is a silly move.

We have 4 picks for list spots in the draft. We have pick 1,2,15,19,20,34,52,74
We have to burn some .

 

[Barrybran]

Nope. That’s reserved for Tyler Young.

20 for Young?? Surely whatever we get for Chesser gets passed onto Richmond for Young?

 

[Elite Pete]

Best 23 from this season to next.
(Must of played half the games)
Out
Ryan
Hunt
Oscar

In
McCarthy
Starcevich
Young
Waterman
Yeo
Shanahan
Allan*
Dev*
Pick 1*
Pick 2*
Plus natural growth and hopefully a Waterman type breakout from 2024 to a couple of players.

Looks a fair improvement on paper

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Dev as a rookie would be elite. Under considered factor is that a gun WAFL mid will help our development a lot in the Beagles and when the team is almost all 22 and under that means quite a bit. No more Gross thrown to the wolves playing 1A mid alone.

 

[eaglevision]

20 for Young?? Surely whatever we get for Chesser gets passed onto Richmond for Young?

It was hyperbole but at the same time it would not surprise me in the slightest.

 

[Hasselhough]

That’s very clearly not how they test for concussions just quietly.

Come on then enlighten us

 

[twce13]

Nope. That’s reserved for Tyler Young.

20 for Young?? Surely whatever we get for Chesser gets passed onto Richmond for Young?

I mean no doubt at most. But as an opposition list manager you’d be crazy not to have a crack and ask for over when dealing with west coast.

 

[Yippy Yi Yeo]

Surely we give them pick 20 instead of 19 leaving us 4 picks before that one.

Surely we don't give them either

 

[TheBudgies]

FYI Starc was cleared of concussion, he could have come back on the ground if we needed him.

Congrats on the acquisition, he is a gun.

Mate, you've fleeced us already. Would have been nice for you to buy us dinner first before you bent us over and without any particular niceties ****ed us in the arse. Let us clean ourselves off without telling us we liked it.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

At what point do you say look, this bloke isn’t very good at his job? Perhaps we should look at alternatives.

Swann replaces Kane and things move in a better direction almost immediately.

He’s had one offseason and brought in our B+F and next captain (albeit with an overpay, yes) and also has delivered a draft most of us would say is a huge building block of our next core.

I’m not saying he’s a gun but do we need to reassess his tenure 300 times a day, every day of the year?

Give him a second offseason for a start.

 

[bindi27]

Also - enjoy Dev Robertson. Don’t be surprised if he has a breakout season like Ben Keayes did when he joined Adelaide.

 

[FatPizza]

Hopefully the Starcevich deal is full of triggers.

Well, it's certainly triggering it's fair share.

 

[JackOutback]

Dev as a rookie would be elite. Under considered factor is that a gun WAFL mid will help our development a lot in the Beagles and when the team is almost all 22 and under that means quite a bit. No more Gross thrown to the wolves playing 1A mid alone.

Dev won’t be playing WAFL. He’s easily best 23 for us, as frustrating as that might be.

 

[eaglevision]

Fair point

Dodoro also did the same and it didn't work out at all though

Exactly, and he did get sacked, it just occurred 20 odd years too late and look what happened.

 

[bzparkes]

Sure, if he wasn’t one head knock from retirement I’d agree with you

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, technically everyone's one head knock away from retirement.

Dan Venables, case in point.

 

[Hasselhough]

Ws have 4 picks for list spots in the draft. We have pick 1,2,15,19,20,34,52,74
We have to burn some .

Or upgrade or trade for future picks .

Burning picks is a stupid idea we should be haggling to the last day for everything.

This is a massive reason why we are in this position we get fleeced at the trade table

 

[WCE777]

Dev as a rookie would be elite. Under considered factor is that a gun WAFL mid will help our development a lot in the Beagles and when the team is almost all 22 and under that means quite a bit. No more Gross thrown to the wolves playing 1A mid alone.

agree with that, multi year deal? So 2 on the rookie list?

 

[TheBudgies]

This.

Why the hell are we trying to be anyone's friend? We need to be ruthless.
