Why?
The net result of this movement will be seen later on. It's just one move, I think.
Hopefully something like that, or even a later pick that at least gets us Frost

Why? We have 4 list spots available before getting rid of Rocky, Green and Hanley (if Rocky and Green leave). We wouldn't have even used 31 if we hold onto Rocky and Green. We have 3,16,19,21 to fill those spots. No bids will come before 31, therefore that pick would've been void. And we'll get a pick for Pearce, ensuring we fill his spot with an early pick. Very good business IMO.

Pick 16, 19 and 21 are crap!!!

Very close points wise (81 points is equivalent to pick 66)
2,31,51 = 3382
3, 16 = 3301
reasonable deal for us as 16 is much likely to be a good player than 31 IMO. One player I'd like us to target is Logue but I doubt he'll still be available at 16 though. No doubt more deals to come with those 4 high picks and Hanley/Rocky.
we still have pick 60 for Frost or for its 146 points which is enough to match a bid of roughly pick 55 or lower.

yep, as i said in one of the 5 trade threads
, we must rate Ainsworth equal to McGrath/McCluggage or slightly behind in that case great deal for us.

See you on the 9th green at 9
My thinking as well. I wouldn't mind their pick below 8 though. Reading a few opinions about this draft it would be really nice to get another in the top 6.

You can't be serious? Very valuable picks, if used shrewdly, particularly is a draft which Schwab said was very even between 5-20.
All of the hypotheticals in the world and I don't think anyone guessed this. Ha. I think it's a great result, we only move down 1 spot and we pick up another TOp 20 pick.

Great trading, I'd be wanting as many picks as possible in the top 25 this year.
I'm slightly bemused why we have traded ourselves out of acquiring one of the two clear stand outs in McCluggage and McGrath and it isn't even for another top 10 pick.
I'm with Bucking Beads on this.

We need top 5 picks not end of first round picks.

And what's pick 3? Fair chance we'd be taking Ainsworth either way if we were happy to make that trade.
I suppose we rated Ainsworth higher than those two for some reason. The consensus may be that the McBoys are the best two, but what if they seem like flight risks? We can't take that chance at our outpost.

What's your plan? Sneak into etihad after dark and steal them?

I'm just cranky today. A bit of the world's against me mentality. Sick of the rich getting richer while we are shopping at the Reject shop. I'm sure Schwabby knows what he's doing.
At first glance I thought it was a stupid trade, the more I think about the happier I am. If the draft is very even after the first 6 we can still bring in another 3 quality players with our next 3 picks. Add in whatever we get for Hanley and we are in a very strong position to really stock up on midfield talent.
We must be very keen on Ainsworth if we are happy to give up pick 2 for pick 3.

I didn't watch the end of the Carolina game. I assume they lost?
Excellent trade. While not as much value as the Dockers-GWS trade it still is great for us. Still interested to see what else we will be doing with our current picks. I reckon we could be dealing with another club besides GCS in a 3 way trade.
I think it became obvious in the last few days we were always happy to take Ainsworth. Fagan has stated he wants a quick forward who can kick and apply defensive pressure. I would have liked a better pick than 16 but maybe we have other irons in the fire that will net us a pick in the top 10. One thing is for sure though Ainsworth is a Brisbane player.

3 way trades are boring and mediocre. Should be aiming for at least 4way, otherwise what's the point in existing.
