So the GWS thing sounds like they did some poor taste but not illegal stuff at a private event that was players only.

Why are the afl getting involved?

Must be photos of it and are worried it will leak

 

[Shifty Crow]

They will get a good player but fingers crossed nothing as good as the top end mid we are going to get...AND we still have our F1

Most draft experts are saying top 8 are elite, than it even out a bit

You are never guaranteed to get a good player at Port’s first pick - there are plenty of flops in the draft range

And worse still phone videos likely..

Not many drafts where the decent talent runs so deep but.

 

[pjcrows]

This really smells like Port pushing out a contracted player and failing on two fronts

1. Assumed they would get a free agent in to replace him, effectively banking the draft picks and getting a free acquisition in the same role. They failed to get the free agent
2. Assuming Houston would attract big currency on the open market, but Houston chose the one club with the least available trade assets. So they failed to sell a contracted player for overs

Ironically, both players ended up at Collingwood.

 

[Shifty Crow]

Doesn’t mean anything

It means plenty

Port went all huff and puff and not only fell well short, they got pineapple by GC

Just claim it's a deep fake. I've heard that works.....

Its really simple, both wanted to play for the magpies and wear the black and white stripes

 

[treeman]

Rowey yesterday: Crap deal, they should keep Houston
Rowey today: They've nailed it again

I can't even.....

I just heard Campos take. He was absolutely glowing of Atkins. Says he was a very smart player. And a good person to have around the club including development coach... What..???

The sliding part means nothing

FFS. AFL too woke

Won't have to get changed after the game and everything.

I saw a comment saying now he can knock players out and not get suspended

 

[1990crow]

With our hope of keeping our F1 and a F2 out of the Peatling deal does anyone think there could be any strategy other than wanting to trade it into this draft?

Keeping our options open for trading for Wanganeen-Milera next season?
Trying to position for Sharp - as unlikely as that would seem?

 

[Runnin Blue]

Apparently they are called “cheap-fakes” now.

If you have an election coming up.

You would think both of the above options are in our mind, need to keep as much draft capital as possible (especially with ability to trade 2 years in advance now too)

Isn’t there a deadline for delisting a player? In which case we’d have to know we’re trading a pick into this draft in advance

Most likely scenario I think is that we keep our options open for NWM. A Sharp trade will be too difficult IMO

That's what I was thinking. If you take the F1 in this draft, and say NWM requests a trade to us we could suggest our 2026 first and a player.

 

[DJ75]

Don't laugh too hard yet.

Multiple GWS players to be suspended to start next season after dressups gone wrong at an after season party.

Fingers crossed it's not Peatling or Cumming.

The AFL:
"GWS did nothing wrong"

Also the AFL:
"Peatling to be suspended for 12 months"

 

[Shifty Crow]

FFS. AFL too woke

It started as a private party then players headed into the CBD with the dress-ups

On the surface bans seem extreme however - I guess we need to wait for the facts

If bans are given - it just compromises the fixture

I think we are needing to delist 2 players already as it is. Likely to be 2 of Smith, Schoenberg and Burgess to be re rookied.

With those 3 openings we could either use pick 4, Welsh (pick 64 points) and upgrade Keane..

Or use Pick 4, trade F1 into this draft and draft Welsh (Pick 64 points) leaving Keane on the rookie list for another year.

it will be fines

Exactly, so how could he be so glowing?
