Official Draft and Trade thread

[jules101]

Is Davey's brother any good?

From what I have read he sounds the goods:

A ready made AFL player. Would release Lovett into the midfield

 

[Philzsay]

6 Picks in the Top 50 of which 3 are in the top 20 in one of the best ever drafts.

Very happy with that, you would hope that we should get at least 4 100+ game players from it. Hopefully will set the Club up well for the future.

 

[Crave]

pffft what a poor trade, yeah we are so aggressive and look out clubs because we are coming after your young stars, and we get 2 3rd round selections, pffft

Well, it had to work in our favour...we couldnt just trade aggressively if what was on offer didnt put us in a better position. What most coaches say and do are two completely different things. We have to wait till draft time to see what we essentially have gained before casting any judgements.

henneman, bolton, rioli, rama, reynolds, cartledge, soly gone

Goodbye, thanks for trying. Just one more piece of the jigsaw puzzle to go and then we really head back to where we belong. His contract expires after round 22 next year.

Actually, like all footy contracts it expires on October 31st.

But I reckon you're being a bit harsh on Mark Johnson.

We're heading to the Linc in half an hour, I'll have some of the stuff your having.

 

[Longy413]

Tongue in cheek tiger.

But all football contracts do run until October 31st.

I'll give the Linc a miss, I don't drink the night before cricket.
Thanks anyway.

what a ****ing rediculous crap trade.

why? Solly isnt worth much more. Would have liked a 2nd rd and swap 3rd rds but it gives us 6 in the top 50

the 6 picks in the top 50 argumement is stupid as we had pick 52 which was basically in the top 50. There wont be much difference between picks that late.

I'm with you. Pretty disappointing. I'm p****d off that Collingwood have r*ped Freo. Pick 8 and Medhurst for Tarrant!

6 in top 50 is great. Solly value was fairly judged. This draft is DEEP. I could easily list 6 rounds of a mock draft which would contain good AFL prospects. Though it hurts me that Collingwood have been the winners during trade week.

hmm lets see take what we got or reject it and solly goes into the PSD. Ummmm let me think

 

[mcphee_is_a_gun]

or keep Solly who is still only 26 and could make us look stupid.

 

[Henry24]

If a cloke goes to essendon in the PSD i will not be able to support them anymore...that will be the final straw. Their recruiting has been ****house and now they're giving solly away for pretty much nothing anyway!! Get rid of sheeds, its time for someone new!

 

[jules101]

Not if he doesnt wanna play for us. I wouldnt give him 2 years. No chance!

yeh its all sheeds

 

[dave_27]

To be honest, for only a couple of 3rd round picks I probably would have rathered taking a punt on Solomon getting his body right and offered him the 2 year deal he was after.

Though he may have been trying to bend the club over again.

It is exciting though to see that Sheedy is serious about rebuilding this club and really putting an emphasis on youth.

Hes been making us look stupid for the last 2-3 years.

Was good in his day, his day has pased

So what do you feel solly was worth?

 

[abers47]

That was the thing - he DID want to play with us. We were the ones only offering him 1 year.

I wouldnt give him 2, Who are we going to delist next year. Hopefully with bolts carts henno reynolds gone... Cole better hope for a good year. hird and campo to retire...

trading our virtual second in line defender even if out of form for two picks in the forty's is in our favour is it?????????? disgraceful trade, with the way dodoro drafts we will get an extra two duds that will be kept on our list for 2 years.

cant believe out of all clubs collingwood has 2 first round picks. they'll get a mitchell thorpe type player and another midfielder i would presume.

Solomon has given us virtually nothing the last 2 years except giving away stupid free kicks and turning the ball over all the time, Nash or Lee should have played instead in hindsight, time for them to step in. Lonergan is going to be a very good footballer and he was taken higher than 47 in a lesser draft, Collingwoods top picks had nothing to do with us.
