Pick 22 is close to worthless, and will probably be used to get an unloved recycled player from somewhere else.
For a million dollar baby, among the absolute upper echelon of the league, only affordable due to the AFL's BS handouts, we would expect a top player AND a top 15 draft pick (fairness of exact number dependent on player involved) OR a top 4 pick.
Rohan + pick better than 15.
Parker or Johnson + pick better than 10.
OR GTFO.
And don't cry foul that it's too expensive, or we don't wanna break up our precious bloods premiership players, because you've made a very expensive bid for a player so you should follow thru.
Normally, I'm more pragmatic than to say send a player to PSD and would occasionally agree with the club accepting slight unders to get the job done BUT in this case we are trading with a direct competitor for next years premiership, the player and manager are lying, manipulative snakes. FFS, Tippett didn't go close to repaying us for the last contract. If he goes to anyone else in the PSD, we will use our bundles of cash next year to poach one back anyway. Even if he gets back to QLD and looks an initial winner then we will get one of their players the next year cos they can't afford to keep them all. And if Candles ends up somewhere he doesn't wanna play for he can sit on his arse for a year.
And Sydney, i sincerely hope Tippett duds out, your culture disintegrates, you tumble down the ladder and we finally stop hearing about this bloods *ankfest.
Please AFC, this is one time to play hard and get a decent trade. We've been bent over for the past few years and not given a whimper. Raped by the new franchises, bent over re Rendell, and as per frickin usual the umps screwed us when it counts in the finals. Now another team has procured our highest paid player thru mid year deception (Blucher you lying flog)...we must get fair compensation or PSD and bide your time for further revenge.
