Unofficial Preview Death Ride ‘25! A Carltank campaign (pick 8) - traded to Carlton as part of a pick swap to give Hawthorn two first round draft picks

[Dewnior]

No point tanking when you don’t have a first rounder

They still have consider where the TDK compo lands.

 

[Tall poppy Syndrome]

Hard to muster any enthusiasm for tonight’s game. Hoping for an unlikely Bombers victory for obvious reasons but won’t be watching.

Will be deeply invested tomorrow night though, given Collingwood and Gold Coast both in action - should know by the end of those games whether Top 4 is realistic for us if we can do the business on Sunday night at the Gabba.

I hate going for Essendon
And I will probably do it on Wednesday as well.

I hate Essendon.

 

[DrkNyt]

I'm convinced this Essendon team wouldn't win a VFL final

I award you 0 points.. and may god have mercy on your soul.

Gawd Merrett getting burnt to a crisp by his team mates time after time being let down. Enough to make him consider moving?

 

[seysearles]

****ing Carlton. Of course they achieved their peak position on the ladder in the final round.

 

[stevehawkington]

Useless essendon

 

[Judd2Sewell]

They weren't as bad as we had hoped, but they were still worse than us which makes the deal an absolute bargain.

They were pretty bad but their piss easy draw saved them.

Upgrading into the top 10 is always a nice move though. Hopefully we go deep into September.

Be hard from 13th

Go the Saints

 

[ShoveYourCOLA]

Saints and Port aren’t winning so it’s Pick 8, which will become what, Pick 12 or so after the usual AFL HQ compo/priority/academy reach arounds?

 

[Ashman23]

WCE fans are still celebrating that the pick difference might be as low as three picks.

It was still a dumb decision regardless!

If they are so unconcerned about slipping down the draft then presumably they wouldn't want a priority pick because you'd only want a priority pick if you were a ruin and desperate to scrounge the best talent you possibly could.

Oh wait....

You mean aren’t winning by enough as % is the killer. The game was dees blues if Melbourne won then they drop 2 and perhaps 3 spots to 14th

Do they ever learn!? They are beting against us again.

If we beat Brissy we can finish as high as 3rd, if we lose as low as 8th.

Pick 8, could've been better, but it's a nice upgrade gift, thanx WCE

compensation? Has it been reported how much he will be on ? Seems like Brisbane will be paying a lot for a bloke who seems fairly injury prone the last few years if WC are getting pick 2 .

Bloke isn't worth a 5th rounder

Almost doesn't matter what he gets paid. The League want to give WCE Pick 2 so they don't ask for a Priority Pick.

It's actually kinda sad we can predict this outcome.

Surely no clubs getting a priority pick after winning a flag 7 years ago. Quite the audacity if west coast even asked for one .
