Cal Twomey needs to give up on hiding the baldness. Nobody is fooled Cal.

It's a great head for radio.

Can someone steal Dodoro's mirror and give it to Twomey?

I had a bit of a melt here last night, but I have to say, I was wrong to doubt the little master.

While I admit I’ll still prefer to keep Brad, Bell managed to extract maximum value out of St Kilda for this.

we’ll be well placed for this draft, with plenty left over for next as well.

 

[jerms]

lol, dude needs to embrace it coz its just wrong looking at the moment

Just needs to get on the minoxidil and finasteride pills - they work wonders... as long as you're not in the 5% of users who can't get it up while on them!

That's not sonny?

How does it work if there is a bid for Henry at 12 and then we cant cover it with this years picks?

What time is cut off for trades?

Points deficit just carries over to next year.

Expecting us to do some pick trades before and during (live) the draft.

4:30pm Perth time for player trades.

I wouldn't be messing with testosterone suppressing pills, he isn't exactly the most well built guy. He might grow some manneries.

 

[Arcassius]

I agree. Brad Hill in the hand is better than speculative picks.

Would we trade #10 and 2x 2020 2nds for him back right now? On $900,000 a year for five?

...probably not.

Oh they overpaid, but we're definitely a worse team with him out

 

[summerthebat]

You may be pulling the piss, but my god is HPN atrocious. Maybe the worst ratings of players I have ever seen. They think we would have won the trade by even more if we gave them Fyfe for Dunstan.

That HPN calculator doesn't work, they don't update it and haven't done for a few years.

They keep their own database and only occasionally update their website with posts like these with their accurate ratings.

World class tantrum. Good to see you own it though. Lesson learnt.

Looking forward to the draft now. Plenty of leverage for pick swaps, too if that's what we want.

We have 22 and 58. That will cover it.

I'm at peace with it. We had him in 2017, 2018 and 2019... Not exactly our best years were they? Our best years, 2012-2015 we had Danyle Pearce on one of our wings. With a new game plan on the way I'm expecting us to adapt sans BHill and Langdon. We also have a lot of outside speed coming through with our NGA. If you look at the top teams their wingers are more gut runners than speedsters. Think it will impact but not sure it will be as much as it may seem on the surface.

Bye Bye Brad

I noticed some posts re Colyer.... has something happened that I missed?

We offered pick #10 for someone to take him but no bites

Feel mean - I'm giving him a chance with a new coach

 

[Righteo]

I know it's a minor footnote amidst all the Hilly hoo-ha but Gold Coast dealt Ah Chee to Brisbane for a future 2nd and 4th. Another top 10 draft pick sold for pennies on the dollar, good thing the AFL will continue to lavish them with even more high picks

 

[Outshined]

Maybe no 58 if that ends up going to Collingwood for Aish.

Although that possibly undervalues him a touch.

It's an interesting new dynamic in trades starting to creep in. the "Salary dump" trade is becoming more prominent in terms of 'nothing' picks being traded for pretty decent players (Scully, Patton, Jack Steven, Aish, Bonar's looking cheap for what he could potentially be). Hawks being the best at capitalising on it so far. I'd like to see us get on this bandwagon more often.

 

[Purpellian Anchor]

do we look to have another pick by trading some 2020 picks to try 8 or 9? or even go 23/24 if we are looking at one of Taylor, Sharp, Rivers?

 

[beelzebob]

Anyone know if acres was a docker or an eagles fan growing up?

[Nickos66]

If we could get multiple picks in the 11 - 28 range i'd like to see us do that. potentially even trade pick 10 for 2-3 picks in that range.
