[Mrzohs]

Well done H.F.C two former number #1 picks for a 3rd&4th round back to back off seasons, trading 101
It really does show the A.F.L draft can be a lottery at best.
24 hrs to get aggressive.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Almost unimaginable.. a future 4th

Lucky we didn’t hurry and deal in the first week, hey #tige19

 

[Bugs1977]

We traded the future fourth we got from Melbourne for Frost.

So effectively: Pick 50 + 2020 Second Round Selection for Frost, Patton, 42 and 61. Wow.

This is pretty much the scene at Melbourne HQ right now

 

[Sirlemsip]

I think that’s why GWS agreed to the deal.

After all of the academy bidding is done next year it will be a pick in the 50s for sure.

Fair deal.

Now, who is next?

I reckon it was agreed upon since day dot, wouldn’t be surprised if AFL prefer deals done in the last few days.

Do you reckon we're done now or are we looking for some extra picks?

Future fourth rounder ... GWS are becoming Norf

Does Wrighty hypnotise these guys?

No, he helps them out last year when * were being stubborn with Shiel to create goodwill which comes to play this year.

Might be a good idea to put this in the trade heading for next year, to stop the procrastination in week 1!

It's tied to the Melbourne pick so it will be a near 3rd but don't let that ruin a good story.

Elite end of the Draft

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Remember when we do things on the cheap (think Hill to Freo) and people get all antsy about us being robbed? This is why - there is karma at the trade table. We are good trading citizens and therefore people aren't dicks to us.

Not sure I'd compare Patton and Scully to Hill though, Hill has won a B & F and had another top 3 finish in a B & F in his 3 years at Freo.

Scully deal looks kind of fair for a player that finished 15th or so in our B & F in the season just gone.

Let's just keep our fingers crossed Patton proves to be a steal.

I would only be guessing at this stage, i know they are working on a few things in the background,
In a good spot we have what we needed without giving up anything! Brilliant work by the club they still have picks and cap space.

as a guess I reckon they now say as long as it helps us strengthen our draft points or standing we are willing to help on other stuff if needed

But after all the Academy bidding in the compromised draft next year, it will end up like pick 107

Starting on Thursday 17th, there's a 37 day period where draft picks can be traded. More excitement to look forward too

can someone please do some magic for me and photo shop wrighty standing beside the Kanga statue...

What a rogering the Dees and Giants have copped here.

Not really, there will probably be a lot of multiple picks being used for points so will more than likely be better than the original pick number

 

[KermitJagger]

There's still a good chance that we try to leverage next year's first into this year on draft night if a bid for Maginness comes later.

No rogering going on just smart trading.
Giants got a player off the books that didn't want to be there and wasn't part of their plans for next year.
Dees might have thought the 2nd next year was worth it depending on who they have coming through

 

[Nastyfish]

Been saying for yonks we need a pressure forward but might have to be thru the draft at this stage.

Either one of Nash and Hanrahan should be able to hold down a spot. Not sure how the draft looks but if we are able to keep our first pick and get an explosive forward that’d be ideal.

The draft is not a bad place to start for a pressure forward. Get a young quick type with some goal sense.

 

[Iceman!]

GW going to be on trade radio in about 15 minutes

No Bonar

"How can a club like Hawthorn get Frost and Patton for virtually nothing ??!?! Its completely unfair !!!! there needs to be an AFL investigation!!"

Nek minut..... "Ive got the Hawks bottom 4 in 2020."
