Live Event 2019 Trade Radio Thread

[Thetrader15]

What a rubbish report - the crows aren't claiming he is worth pick 13. It's always been 13 for Keath+23/28

Tom Morris again making sh*t up.

 

[Glenn_]

oh god, cleary ... please don't start discussing academy players and points and bids with Damo.

He doesn't understand any of it, don't waste your time.

Maybe if he draws pictures to explain it?

 

[Johnny Karate]

Genuine amateur hour stuff.

If there's one thing that I dislike about the AFL and how it's run, it's the impulsive nature of how decisions are made. They're not fleshed out appropriately, they're not communicated, and they're definitely not made in consultation with the AFL community as a whole.

In fairness, a lot of their decisions that are run through focus groups also suck.

I get sick of the whole let’s generate content for content’s sake mentality of them.

The idea of not having any trades before 3pm to make deadline day more ‘exciting’ is symptomatic of this. The idea of having a preseason trade period is symptomatic of this. Splitting the draft over two nights is symptomatic of this. Trying to dominate the news cycle in the offseason is symptomatic of this.

 

[Foucault1989]

Confirmed. Alex Keath the most important player at Adelaide. Hell let's take it one step further. Alex Keath is the most important player in the AFL

Sock puppets maybe.

The problem with their focus group decisions is that they're more, "Let's get back the old crew together with Leigh Matthews, Malcolm Blight and Kevin Bartlett and ask them what they think."

 

[Mitchell54]

They have no idea. Hearing them talk about Maginness and the mechanics around it is hilarious.

They also don't reckon Hawthorn usually goes into the draft with a plan. Every club at every draft would go in with a plan!

 

[FRUMPY]

Two weeks of trade radio and ends the moment there’s actually something to talk about. This is the AFL in a nutshell, comical.

Like CH.7 not having talking footy on after the grand final......why would you discuss the grand final? crazy

The competition committee was pretty hilarious. Hocking and McLachlan would be on seven figure salaries to outsource a bunch of work to suckers who’ll do it for free. Way of the world, I guess.

Snapper is in Port Philip Bay...lol!

Funny when he said he was our most important player even before he played....wow!

 

[Iceman!]

Snapper not happy...

 

[Bulldog1954]

Snapper is in Port Philip Bay...lol!

In the top 5 biggest tools to have rang in, and it's an Olympic 100 meter final quality field. Levi worth double Martin

 

[Johnny Karate]

They have no idea. Hearing them talk about Maginness and the mechanics around it is hilarious.

I heard that. It was more or less, Heverin - “So let’s say Melbourne bid pick 8 on Maginness, well that means Hawthorn would have to use pick 11 on him. But, if he’s still available at 11, Hawthorn should pick another player because any bid that comes between 12-30 means they can just used pick 30 then...”

That is not how the system works. If Melbourne does bid pick 8, Maginness would have to be picked at 8 either by Hawthorn or Melbourne. Hawthorn get pick 8 by converting multiple picks into points using the draft pick points index or they say good luck and Melbourne have to use pick 8 on Maginness. There’s no dummy bids.

Perhaps he just explained it horribly and actually knows, perhaps he made a mistake but the point is he sounded embarrassingly clueless. Surely if you’re saturation covering something the least you could do is be informed, articulate and be capable of keeping your audience informed?

 

[JG22]

will Kane and Terry still start at 3 seeing they’re part of the 5pm onwards bit?

 

[NonPhixion]

That Carlton supporter trying to compare Casboult to Martin, saying Lévi is worth x2 first rounders is one of the most laughable things I’ve heard

 

[6yearsold]

Did anyone else hear plow say yesterday afternoon that one of Bonar's great strengths is his spread from the contest?

 

[Tandy]

IMO once trades are done at 3pm, you won’t hear anything further until the trade period goes live to air on TV.

It’s pretty much like Channel 7’s arrangement with the AFL on that teams can’t be announced until C7 announce them on the 6 o’clock news. A Trading Post business model in a Google world, amateurish.

Once it hits 3 o’clock I’m going back Spotify and after listening to AFL TR over the last 3 days I will never ever, ever, ever complain about Spotify’s ads ever , ever again.

Ever.

Once I've listened to my first 30 minutes ad free and I've used my 6 skips in the first hour I just exit spotify, remove it from recently used apps and then open it back up.

 

[DapperDon]

nup, looks like we get the Fire starter and Coons

 

[6yearsold]

Kane just gets off on being rude to people.

 

[Thuggee_Cult]

I would be happy to listen to a days worth of Spotify ads than hear another hour of the abomination of TR ads that have burned into my brain

 

[Vindicater]

But Daniher has PoTeNtiAl.

More to do with the fact that Jenkins benefited from getting out the back alot. Daniher takes the pack marks that are important to a big forward.

And then normally misses the set shot.

 

[kozi]

Dodoro about to speak

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

"We see what will happens" Dodoro

Trade will get done imo with 5+9

 

[Tandy]

The word 'posturing' is burnt into my brain.
