Matt Clarke wraps up the trade period - 6PR

 

[Shueygod]

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

If you ignore 33, I guess.

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

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.

That you, Phil? I thought you was dead, bruv.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Just so long as we keep 1. CDT they can have. If they want Duursma they're going to have to cough up more than they'd be comfortable with.

If the want pick 1

It's 1 for 5 6. Basta.

Leaves us
2 5 6 12

 

[amazingjoshy]

33 for Young would be completely unnecessary.

This would undo some good work

 

[eaglevision]

5 + 6 +20 for 1 and 12?

Don't blast me please

2,12 for 5,6,20 I’d do

Pick 1 I reckon we’ll ask for 5,6 alone or no thanks.

 

[Obeanie1]

Hang on

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

No we didnt.

 

[Scotland]

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

Maybe. Guess we will find out between now and Friday.

As it stands we have picks 1 and 12 a reportedly weakish draft.

 

[Big_Birdy]

+ 33 & 52

Hey mate, don’t bring facts into a meltdown.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

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

Who is the unrestricted free agent? Because it isn’t Starcevich.

 

[kaiserchief13]

If you ignore 33, I guess.

Yes. Starcevich should have been pick 23 straight swap. 16 and 22 worth much more than 12 and 33

 

[boondy]

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

Exactly we need to clear a few picks so 33 moves up the board

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Hopefully we go
1. Duursma
2. Sharp
12. farrow
-30 something. Curtin.

Add, young, banfield, nga kids and can probably live with it.

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Banfield likely to be after 2R, would pass on Williams with a 1R bid and happy to go into 2R deficit at worst assuming Ryan and Chesser don’t address that.

As for Sharp I’ll back my draft assessment over yours.

This was was back in April.











As it turns out, right here, right now I was much closer to the mark than your “assessment” back in April. Based Twomey’s form guide Sharp is rated 9th best prospect 5 weeks out from the draft.











I’m more than happy to back in my assessment over yours, and I’ll even bring receipts to let you know!

 

[Tugga27]

It's been said, at this point we have:

- Picks 1, 2 (likely) & 12 to bring in high end talent.

- Later picks for Young & NGA recruits.

- Then extra rookie spots for Dev and other NGA's and F/S's not worth picks

- With possible picks from Chesser and Ryan still to come

Plus Starcevich coming in.

This is a pretty good result (not so much Chesser and Ryan leaving but can't control that). People calling the draft shallow, then getting angry that we've dropped middling picks to get more to the pointy end need to decide what exactly it is they want.

To whinge, moan and shit on the club no matter what mate.
That's what they want.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

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

But you stated, the WC recruitment team were idiots.
Good old eaglevision, the master of the flip flop.
You’re a clown!

 

[DanWCE]

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.

From AFL.priddis

 

[eaglevision]

The more compact the points, the more appealing it will be for GCS. They will be able to carry more points in less picks and will have more opportunities to split it again on draft night.

 

[Rowan18]

I'm happy with that trade. We clearly have three objectives this trade/draft period:
-we are taking three live selections in the draft and we want all three to be top 10 selections.
-nail our trade targets in Starc, Young and Dev.
-have enough points to match bids on Banfield, Williams and Evans

I don't give a shit about picks beyond the late teens in a shallow draft. Trade them as needed to get three top 10 selections and enough points to bid match.

 

[Elite Pete]

If you didn’t get on when I said. Load up on the Eagles WAFL flag with a midfield if Swallow, Schoenberg, Macrae, Hall and Dev.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Guess the Starc deal comes down to what we already knew. If he plays 6 years we win. If he’s concussion retired after a year or two we lost.

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

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

I wouldn't think Cumming does.

Duursma
Sharp
CDT
Robey
Cumming
Schubert
Taylor
Marsh
Greeves
Grlj
Faz
Lindsay
Dovaston


One of Faz, Lindsay, Grlj, Dovaston should still be there.

 

[eaglevision]

But you stated, the WC recruitment team were idiots.
Good old eaglevision, the master of the flip flop.
You’re a clown!

Will Dev ever make it to WC?
Apparently he has met with the Doggies.
The man, the myth, the legend of Dev!

From the genius whom as of this morning still didn’t understand that Dev is coming to WCE. Add it to the list!

 

[Altum Volantes]

If you didn’t get on when I said. Load up on the Eagles WAFL flag with a midfield if Swallow, Schoenberg, Macrae, Hall and Dev.

That's such crap.

Tim Kelly would still play midfield at WAFL level.

 

[larrikin]

I'm happy with that trade. We clearly have three objectives this trade/draft period:
-we are taking three live selections in the draft and we want all three to be top 10 selections.
-nail our trade targets in Starc, Young and Dev.
-have enough points to match bids on Banfield, Williams and Evans

I don't give a shit about picks beyond the late teens in a shallow draft. Trade them as needed to get three top 10 selections and enough points to bid match.

Pretty much this. Well said.

 

[THE A5]

Have we won trade period yet?
