A Godfather offer you can refuse: North knocks back THREE first-round picks for No.1

Of course it's a bit misleading because it's really swapping 1 & 4 and receiving 2 others.
Mind you, people in this thread seem to think 2 and Port's first are 2 first rounders and can't get their heads around the fact that that particular offer is just offering Port's first for Eagles promising not to take Reid with pick 1, for some reason.

Adelaide were wanting our second round pick back in the trade. It literally says it in the article you just linked. It basically cancelled out Melbourne’s future 1st in the deal to a minor pick upgrade. This detail seems to be left out consistently when people bring up the 3 first round pick offer. When you actually break the Adelaide offer down, it wasn’t that great and definitely wasn’t a straight up offer of 3 first round picks.

It seems you’re a bit of a touchy fellow.
Just to add my two cents to this one - I think if you look at what those picks turned into, Adelaide would be pretty happy the trade wasn’t accepted.
There’s risk both ways in those situations.
I agree wholeheartedly, Adelaide would be very happy. North would also be happy a year later having Sheezel and Wardlaw.
It’s just irritating when people reel out the ‘North should have taken the three 1st rounder’s’ that were apparently offered and they clearly weren’t.

Yeah, you can only ever say the offer was two firsts and a bit.
All in all:
Adelaide happy.
North happy.
Port happy.
GWS - we will see what Cadman becomes.
North would still have been able to get Sheezel and Wardlaw if we'd taken Adelaide's offer. It would have been a simpler three way trade with WC and GWS. We would also have Rachelle instead of Ports pick this year.
Because some nobody on the D&T board reckons WCE will accept less than what North got last year because of some Jon Ralph ramblings?
Nah.
Seriously? I’d prefer Walsh if I’m honest

My issue is he just doesnt look like a KPD. If he is he aint playing for 2 years. Easily outbodied by midfielders never mind AFL forwards. I think he is that 3rd tall Sicily type

Many elite KPD get out bodied constantly as young players, both before and after they join the AFL. Alex Rance being a prime example.
I haven't seen enough Curtin, but based on what i have seen I feel like if everything goes well for him he becomes the massive mid WC are crying out for. That doesn't mean you necessarily gamble on him though.

No chance he becomes a mid. Not fast enough to be outside and not tough enough to be inside.
Id be staggered if he isnt a 3rd tall Sicilyy type defender

Most great players end up with attributes they haven't fully got as 17 year olds. I don't think it is right to say there is no chance he ends up strong enough to be weitering or bont. I am still hoping if my club has Curtin and Duursma on the board we take Duursma though, so that probably says something.
That's a bad thing?
Sicily is an incredible player. I'd be over the moon if the worst case scenario is drafting the next Sicily.
How does he compare for speed or toughness compared to Bont as an under ager?
Bont wasn't overly quick and certainly wasn't a tough inside player. What he did have was mint skills, size and elite footy IQ, which DC has.
North were offered more for pick 1 the year before than your continued 'proposals'.
If it wasn't good enough for North to give up JHF in 2021, it's not good enough for WCE now.

Bont is a freak and once in a generation player so its not really a fair comparison at all.
Curtin will be a okay enough player. Just not a pick 2 OR a KPD. Nothing wrong with a good 3rd tall defender but be honest with what he is and stop pretending he is going to be one of the best footballers in recent memory because he is left footed and a weird height

Take him then
Cool.
Maybe they just didn't do their homework, or were overridden by people at the top, hence the recruiters walking out?
Isn't the rumour that the recruiters wanted to take Adelaide's offer but the people in charge at the club wanted to use pick 1 and plug it as the future hope of the club?
I'm sure they will.Curious to see if WCE do their homework on Harley, or adopt your tactic:
They're not amateurs who draft nothing but mids, after all.
WCE's retention rate of interstate players proves this.
