So Andrew Dillon said on monday they will tell us what we get
But he has already spoken to Pyke and let him know what we get

Is that the sum of it from afl 360 ?
I would expect WC already know the outcome is and waiting for the AFL to announce.
AFL already do things their way, but it would be extraordinary not to have given WC the heads up.
 
Surely it's for Starcevich, basically a compromise for an exemption to not having our Oscar compo pick downgraded.
Otherwise we'd have to trade for him, and I can see us offering Hawthorn's 2nd round pick. Now we get to avoid that since I can't see us going the PSD route.
A couple of things on Starcevich... if Allen and Draper go to Brisbane then they get nothing for Starcevich as they have a net gain from the FA process. That means anything we offer up for Starcevich, a late 2nd or a 3rd rounder, is an absolute bonus for Brisbane and would preserve our FA compo pick for Allen.

BL would be crazy not to accept our offer but if they did, then we absolutely walk Starcevich to the PSD

I reckon there isnt consensus. Either between West Coast and the AFL or within the AFL

I'd much rather trade Hawks 2nd than get an end of 1st that is a gift that must be traded. Better optics.
 
Evans has had an injury plagued season and barely got to fire a shot this year.

No way he would've been picked up in the ND currently.

Waterman for example played the all star game, part of the AFL academy, state U18 captain, performed decently and still went the entire draft without attracting a single bid before we picked him up as the final player drafted at pick 77 in 2016.

Still to this day I'm surprised at how much everyone slept on him. All Australian with 112 games under his belt now.

Kobe's profile isn't half what Waterman's was. He would've gone all the way through.

2016 was a damn weird draft though, nearly as much talent in the second half as there was in the first.
 
I must admit the delay worries me. Reasonable chance its because the commission cant decide what we should get, or more likely, the club has been told and its not happy and trying to get more (ie, effectively appeal behind closed doors - which is common and we found out what happened with Rankine after the fact).
 
North melbourne 2022 package - announced pre grand final

North melbourne 2023 package - announced pre grand final

Gold Coast 2019 package - announced post grand final

West coast 2025 package - announced post grand final?

Buckle up boys, AFL has realised they ****ed up letting us be this bad for this long. Dillon's gonna be reading off our package like it's Big Smoke's Cluckin' Bell order.

They'll drop it soon after the GF when the media and public will be distracted
After? Snoop Dogg's gonna drop it like it's hot at half time.
 
It’s possible the delay is linked to the non-finalisation of the rules for academies etc next year if any assistance we get on rookies relates to next year too. Not sure how but they may want to have that finalised and announced first, even if it is just optics.
 
It shouldn't matter but for the engagement, it's better for them to announce it next week. It's an entire days worth of talkback and James Hird angrily shaking his head into his microphone on Trade Radio.
 
They should announce it on the GF pre show with Pykey spinning a wheel that has 15 to 35 on it with Eagles getting whatever pick number the wheel Lands on as compensation

During the GF half time show Pyke will have to play game like cliffhanger from the price it right to determine the number of pick we get.​

Big Smoke said:
I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

Walking away with Picks 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, ~15, ours and Hawthorn's second and third rounders with 45 thrown in there too:

When it drops, it'll cause universal Melbourne club squealing.

Pyke deadpanning on Brownlow night is expected/required, as the last thing you want to do is rub it on them like a trainer massaging Deepheat into a groin strain pregame and accidently slipping higher then he/she should have.
