I'm very interested to hear why Reid did this.

Very poor deal IMO

A packed of Chips for the guy whos rated stats wise as the 36th best player on ranking points..... dumb trade, didnt hold our nerve enough and got walked all over by Gold Coast.

The only good thing about this is at least we still have picks for points after we trade for Luko next year.

Whilst we know he's not the 36th best player in the game, not even close in fact, he's still worth more than what we got.

We would like to bring Lukosius home so he can feel comfortable against the warmth of our bosom.

Probably breast that we wait until next year when Luko is out of contract, although important that get in early with a big financial offer and nip any Suns contraction extension in the bud.

**** always a challenge bringing quality SA players home but we need to keep knock(ers)ing on the door.
You really milked tit dry right there .
 
We could have gotten way more points for him if that's what we're after
I guess there's no point getting more points than you need, but this deal makes little sense.
 
If you think about it going the other way, and we were bringing in an out of contract 50 gamer who turns 28 before next season, we'd all be spewing if we gave anything of value up.

The deal sucks though because he's of far more value to our side. Should have just paid up and kept him. It's not like we're going to be under any cap pressure.
 
At first I thought 'WTF??' but as 70lethal mentioned in another thread, these picks equate to a low 20's academy selection.

Might be not as bad as it seems.

No they don't, at best it's a mid 30s pick if Gold Coast finish last and there's a few free agency compensation picks
 
Absolutely disgraceful deal.

Worse than Jarryd Lyons

Right now, yep. Jarryd at least made sense for that price seeing we had plenty of his type, and he was the bottom of the pecking order. That one was adequate. Greenwood was a rarer player as we lack genuinely tall midfielders, which makes it a shambles.

You hope there is a plan elsewhere to justify it, or you're gambling on our NGA being lights out good. The first one can be forgiven, the second though, that isn't a good gamble.
 
To not ask for a future 2nd instead is mind blowing.
He'll be top 5 in their B&F next year.
Bloody Gold coast reamed us they have picks coming out their ass and that's the best we could do?

They screw us over being so s**t that the AFL gives them free picks pushing us back and now won't hand over the goods.

Can't wait till they fold, useless organisation
