Traded Eagles Pick 50+2018 1st for Gold Coast Picks21,26,37+2018 2nd

[adammania9]

Confirmed by SEN live trade blog, presumed to get Lachie Weller to Fremantle in a separate trade

Eagles get: Pick 21, Pick 26, Pick 37 + Gold Coast 2018 2nd round pick (19-24)
Suns get: Pick 50+2018 1st round pick (5-10)

 

[Danger Zone]

If the Eagles play finals next year that is a great trade by them.

 

[Chism]

Hard to work out who is getting the better deal!

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Odd, I thought it was next year that had the better WA youth.

 

[dlanod]

Probably heading to Freo for Weller if that deal gets done.

Which bit? I don't think we'd want the Eagles pick.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I reckon Gold Coast win this one. Helps them get Weller without giving up anything too valuable, because this year's draft doesn't took great in the 20s.Eagles better hope they make finals again.

WCE smashed GC in this deal

Why not? Combine it with a couple of other good picks and it's the best deal Freo can realistically get. I'd be shocked if the Suns gave up pick 2 without receiving pick 5 in return.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Don't like it.

Could easily be a top 10 pick next year.

Better nail the draft this year.

 

[MotleyLemon]

Eagles bottom 4 next year imo. Good trade for GC, and potentially, Freo, if they do indeed flip that first rounder for Weller.

We'd want another first rounder. This and Matera won't cut it.

 

[Capt Hindsight]

If Eagles fall apart makes sense for GCS.
If Eagles mid range then a win for them as GCS 2nd rd next year will be low.

 

[KermitJagger]

If WCE fall to bottom 4 it doesn't help GCS at all considering it's going to Freo.

 

[kreglze]

We love a future pick on the GC.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Professional organisations bet on themselves.

Well done Eagles.

 

[sverik25]

Quality over quantity.

Not too sure why West Coast would do this when it is likely they will slide down the ladder next year.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

We'd want another first rounder. This and Matera won't cut it.

No doubt, hence why I said it'd be combined with some other picks. How about 2, 24, West Coast's pick and Matera for Weller and 5?

 

[Crawb]

Will be a deal with a clear winner & loser in 12-24 months. Interesting stuff.

 

[garlic munchers]

Hard to work out who is getting the better deal!

And how fair trading should be!

Some others should take the cue.

Done!

#2, #24 (Wilson), 2018 #3 to #10 & Matera for Weller and #5

Its a weird one.

On points that is possible and clearly WC have some solid reasoning. Finishing bottom 8 will still tilt it in GC favor.

My guess is those picks will be either on traded or have a purpose. It also might suggest WC suspect they may lose a free agent in 2018.

 

[Chaisa]

Interesting one. If West Coast do well 2018 they romp it in, if not then it gets more interesting. Obviously they think they'll do better next season than many suspect (or as the poster above suggested, that Gaff could leave next year)

Thats a bad deal for GC.

Given the difficulty most clubs face winning away from home, WC will be the new Ninthmond (which given this years result, I could live with).

Club knows it's not in contention and losing only the geriatric gang of Priddis, Mitchell and Petrie ("only" not used to reflect their contribution) means it ain't falling apart next year.

So unless we on-trade some of these picks in the 20's, there will a slew of new potential midfielders on their way to the club.

Will only lose if if Kennedy goes down. But if NN is up and running with a dominate Kenndy and Gov and with two easy Derby wins, we should crack the 8 again.
