News Pick trade - future first for 23 and future second

[Ford Fairlane]

 

[Poo Eckert]

So we’re banking on finishing high again next year, I hope they are right, I don’t feel it personally.

Who will 22 be used on? Seems high for any of the players we are seeking.

 

[El_Scorcho]

We're going to give Geelong pick 22 for Ratugolea aren't we.

Not a great trade I don't think. I think Freo will improve and probably make the 8, so it's probably going to look something like pick 10 for picks 22 and 30.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

I always thought we had to use a first round in the draft at least once every 3 years.

 

[Andre]

Oh yah, future first for two players we should be giving 3rd round picks for. Woot! I'm going to rush back and get a Membership again now, I'm so inspired.

 

[Ljc_86]

Forever in debt with first round picks it feels like

Selling the farm to feed Daddy's gambling habit.

 

[Willsy10]

i don't mind it.

One thing Hinkley is good at is never bottoming out, which is to save his arse to our long term detriment but in 11 seasons 11th is his worst finish. Can't see next year being any worse than that.

I think we will make the 8, which will make this trade fine.

FUKCIN' PUMPED!!

We never bottom out because our list management has been relatively cromulent. If Hinkley were able to make a team greater than the sum of it's parts (i.e. true avoidance of bottoming out) he would have made a GF.

This is worse than Pistol for Sinn

 

[Brian McGee]

I don’t love it. Pressure on to perform next year!

They/we are insipid…

 

[Sully90]

Congrats Port, we've just confirmed you guys will be premiers next year.

Idc

 

[Adz2332]

Think we could have got better value than that for it.
Does that mean duursma is staying?

 

[GoPorts]

So why the pressure to push Duursma out at his lowest value?

 

[manureid]

We are due a Donuts miss the 8 as pressure off, contract secure season. So Freo just bought themselves a pretty high pick.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Not under Hinkley. I think this year was a hiccup for you guys on an otherwise good list build and I expect you to make the 8.

 

[TazD]

Should've gone higher

 

[Sully90]

Maybe we can both be bad just to help each other out.

I thought this too. We didnt use a first last year. At the moment we wont this year and dont have one next year.

 

[rainwizard39]

x2 2nds for a 1st? Our list management is a bunch of drop kicks.

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Reminder we had to pay a future second just to upgrade from 14 to 12.

 

[Fizzler]

This is worse than Pistol for Sinn

I don’t think we’ll ever do worse than that, even based on the immediate feel of that trade
