It does highlight the problem with just throwing more and more draft picks at a club expecting it to turn around. Suns had so many picks they didn't want to use they were just giving them away.

At least the Roos used theirs to bring in some ready made players, not just to add more speculative players on top of speculative players.

Yeah that should be a stipulation.

 

[Crowked]

After the give away of 7 GC should receive no more assistance ever. You can’t bail out a club that gives away top 10 picks.

How sad would sooky boy Bruhn be if GWS sent him to the PSD and re-drafted him

Absolutely!

A slight side note since joining the forums I note that sook sooky and sooky boy are used more prevalently than I would have imagined.

Geelong must need a hand to land Bowes and Henry

Sure, but he’s saying plural.

Just another example of the rubbery rules we have in this comp. Rules of the game are rubbery, player movement rules are rubbery. Joke.

I reckon its Port asking

 

[pjcrows]

It'd go against the grain for the AFL to make up rules as they go along to suit their agenda.

It's just a ****ed competition. Go Norwood.

Getting AFL guy Twomey alone to tweet that is manipulating an outcome.

I think the league has learnt from that hence the Roos had a watered down version.

The concern is though the majority of those trades - even just pick swaps - went to Geelong and didn’t appear open to other clubs who may well have been willing to offer better deals.
Would love to see the league answer questions - or GC answer questions - on why that is

This is obviously for Geelong to get everything they want.

**** the AFL if they change the rules AGAIN to fit Geelong's needs, and simultaneously approve the most objectively lopsided trade in history with 7 and Bowes for peanuts.

Very weird.

Looks like we posted the 'Pope holding the Fog mark' tweet, Brisbane responded, and we responded with that.

But Brisbane has now deleted their tweet.

Well Brisbane deleted whatever they said but probably something about Fog Winking at McGovern after taking a mark on his head

So Geelong just gave up ~35 (2023), 38, 48, 55 and a future 4th for pick 25

 

[ams4crows]

Umm Brisbane I know you want draft points but like how are you paying for Dunkley now??

Did Geelong feel bad that they'd made out like bandits in every deal so need one so they looked like they weren't cheating

 

[Anzacpaul]

Crazy that the premier will end up with a better draft hand than us at the end of trade week, whilst still bringing multiple players in.....

That 25 will go to GC for Bowes and 7

[Danger in Texas]

So do the Cats offer up 25 for Henry or Bowes/7?
