Mega Thread 2018 Trade Period Discussion part 2! (cont. in Part 3 - link in OP)

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Tom Scully for a future 4th rounder wtf?

 

[Crowbots are dead]

thoo.... same as what we paid for stengle?

So how is this not a form of draft tampering?

 

[Scorpus]

Most of these salary dump trades do not pass the sniff test at all.

In a way it's similar to free agency. A club spends nothing but salary cap space. The trading club benefits from that salary not being on their books.

I guess you could think of it as GWS releasing Scully from his contract to become a free agent.

His ankle can’t be that bad, I think this is the dodgiest trade period I’ve ever seen.

 

[Deaneus!]

I've previously posted that Norf did very well this trade period through smart decision-making

I will now add that the Hawks have done very well also, but i don't know how to describe how they did it

 

[Chillum]

Welcome aboard

So, Suns would swap 3 with us, if we can get 4?

Would the Saints do it?

This isn't too bad, i think... the Suns bit is believable, not sure about the Saints bit

Cheers,
Yep a bit of a long shot for us.. both Saints or Suns probably hoping for big offers from port too

 

[StonesThrow]

Stengle > Scully

 

[Runnin Blue]

Gil has taken the AFL from FIFA to full blown mafia level corruption in record time.

Pathetic excuse for a South Australian. Disgrace.

 

[GROTTO]

There's looking back in hindsight, and there's seeing the big picture of what Reid & co are trying to do in the present. We'll have to wait for 2023 for the hindsight (given that most of it will involve kids who won't play in 2019). We'll have the short-term "big picture" in the next day or two.

Disagree I dont think we need to wait that long to see how some players pan out.

In 2016 we took Gooch which looks like a good decision based on last years output.

In 2017 we took Fog, which did very well this year considering it takes a bit longer sometimes for bigger players to come on, not to mention he came into our forward line which aside from the 2017 debacle, was the best forward line of 2017.

Sydney got penalized more for recruiting Franklin

 

[FR0GGY]

Stengle > Scully

Are you talking about letters in their last name?

 

[ad victoriam]

His ankle can’t be that bad, I think this is the dodgiest trade period I’ve ever seen.

There a player from the hawk involve aswell, not a top player but a cheap player

 

[Anzacpaul]

Surely another club would've offered more for Scully. Something stinks

He bent over the Non-Victorian teams and gave it to us.

For starters the Grand Final to be played forever (feels like it) at the MCG was a disgraceful decision, esp on the back of the Tigers winning last year comfortably at their home ground.

If 2017 GF is played at AO, we walk away with the flag. Its that simple.

Who is filling the brown paper bags? Is it being carried over from Sydney, or is he picking them up on Glenferrie Road.

Nothing to see here...AFL have signed it off

I say we trade Tippett for a 3rd rounder!

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Sydney got penalized more for recruiting Franklin

The sad thing was Franklin was a FA at the top club and the Swans still were penalized yet Richmond have taken Lynch from a bottom club and just crickets from the AFL. Vic clubs make their own rules.

 

[Lawrst]

Did Barrett say yesterday that the hawks think he will need surgery again?

 

[rezagun]

The scully deal is absolutely ludacris.
Former pick 1, on a massive contract, in his prime and is effectively traded for nothing.

 

[Danger in Texas]

So basically the Hawks got Scrimshaw, a 20 year old former 7th pick, and Scully, a top line wingman of the comp when healthy, for a 3rd round pick

The comp is ****ed

 

[jo172]

**** me, anyway of getting our picks back from the Tippett sanctions?

Didn't there used to be a rule against agreeing to uncommercial deals?

 

[NikkiNoo]

they all seem to be going to the hawks though don't they? nice of them to look after the battlers I spose.

With those very active coterie groups and members who sit on committees and things. (count Essendon in this too)

 

[Thetrader15]

No doubt about it - Most seem to be going to the Melbourne teams...maybe just a coincidence
