Hello Shinboners!

The embedded resources below are kept up to date by the trade board mods (as much as possible – we are human after all). Enjoy!

I just read that Hawthorn only got 19 for Buddy? That's piss funny if true and I'm loving the melts with us getting 3 for Ben
I would have been thrilled to get pick 19 for McKay as it would have been because we just won the premiership.

We got exactly the same, Band 1 compo. It happens to be pick 3 cause we suck.
 
100%. Im down for Curtin and McKercher.

How many times in draft history has pick 1 been better than 2 and 3 combined?

Reid looks a gun, no doubt. Id love him but we shouldnt overpay.
Someone on hawks board did the last 10 years and 3 years 1 was prolly in front, on 2 occasions it was a close call with ironically the kelly draft the only real stand out.

Did you watch much of this years draft crop or just listening to media hype?

How many games do you think Reid got 3 votes in during the championship?
Yeh I also watched his underage year which is considered by twomey to be possible the best underage year anyone’s had, if u wanna go by votes sanders would be pick 1 but alas it doesn’t work like that, vic country were nowhere near the allies this season,
 
but you have to remember you aren’t trading for pick 1 in a usual year, this year it’s Reid who’s the most highly sought after draftee probably ever,
I know this is your first pick 1 and it's really exciting but this is said about a lot of pick 1s. It just means more to you now because it's your pick 1. And they are almost never the best player from their draft pool once they move to AFL level.
Not when you look at the talent rather than arbitrary numbers
Reid is a phonemonal talent but the hype started back in 2022 has caused Walter, McKercher, Duursma and even Sanders to fly under the radar. While statistics aren't everything they are all statistically better than Reid.

Also, if North had pick 1 and Walter was in the open draft I would pick him every day of the week.

Just had a look. The only time i see a clear winner in 1 over 2 and 3 is

2015
Weitering over Schache and Mills.

And jesus imagine if we did this
2016
McGrath over Taranto and Mcluggage

Lolz at *
 
That high in the draft order and trading 2+3 for 1 is stupid just from a risk mitigation point of view I would have thought. Reid blows his knee out or something and loses significant ability then you're just ****ed, don't do the trade and it happens to one of the two kids then at least the other one is probably still going fine.
 
So did I as a youngster, but it started to wane when it became apparent that he doesn't really have any football skills. He's just a big guy. Hopefully for Essendon's sake I'm wrong, but I think we've done well.
I remember watching one of this seasons practice matches at Arden st. McKay looked disinterested already, and Gibbo was in the pocket shouting at him for more effort, and coaching him on seemingly simple things.

That was when I lost interest in him playing for us. Clearly checked out, gave less of a stuff than I did.

Fair enough but Walter isn’t open that’s why I haven’t bothered mentioning him, about pick 1 and Reid I really think north will just take their picks to the draft, maybe trading the two future end of firsts for picks this draft, Geelongs pick 7(8) is for sale maybe that gets you mckercher, Curtin and sanders?
 
Ha so the panic merchants have swung from getting an end of first compo pick to swapping picks 2 & 3 for pick 1.

Will not happen - stop it!

After a brief chat today we are definitely taking the son of Kercher, that can be locked in. Probably means no Watto Wizard Watson. With the amount the Wizard Watto Watson was jammed down our throats on this board I did afford myself wry smile.

So suppose it will be the Reid/McKercher double act.

Surely the best draft prospect ever, who is already built like a 25 year old, would dominate his age group this year, though.

The reality is that he's the number 1 prospect but not close to the hype that you are bringing. He's ahead of McKercher and Sanders but only by a little bit.

You mistake disinterested with confused.
 
And I understand why people are shitty at Mckay getting us pick 3, but acting like it's a scandal is stupid. It's literally just the rules in effect, rules that have been used for what, a decade?

At a high level it is hilarious.

A bunch of commentators and posters previously:

“North need to be better run. They need to dig themselves out. “

** North uses the rules to their advantage to orchestrate overs*

“Well you see this sort of deal should never be allowed, why should a club benefit from using the rules to their advantage?”

F*** them all.

If they complained about us getting assistance or at us working pick 3 and at the same time have ragged on us for being bad, they can take a step back and literally f*** their own faces.
 
I’ll give you the top 10 thing my bad, look I’m not trying to sell ya Reid but if north want him you better believe you are gonna have to pay more than you are comfortable with, after pick 4 now pick 5 going for heaps of overs, essentially 800 more points than pick 1 is worth for nga and father son bids, you are gonna get bent over if you want him but like I said I doubt it happens because north are surely not gonna sell the farm

I'd rather hit the draft tbh, get McKercher and Duursma pick up some KPP and ruck prospects later in the first round.

They compliment each other very well. Reid can’t run but is flexible. Mckercher can run all day.
 
Seen you guys getting with twists over 2 and 3 for pick 1 but you have to remember you aren’t trading for pick 1 in a usual year, this year it’s Reid who’s the most highly sought after draftee probably ever, also look what Gold Coast got for pick 4, three firsts 2 of which are likely top 10, eagles will probably demand too much tho so hopefully your club doesn’t offer something silly like 2,3 and something else
They usually don’t send their best into the eye I’d the storm but think we deserve better than this.
You keep Reid and he’ll be the one top 25 pick you’ll bring into your star studded lineup
 
My question is does this remove us from going for Sanders? I mean it would be hard with Curtin, McKerch v Sanders

Unless we are after 7, i can't see the Colonel being around to our next pick.

Yeah exactly. It is doing my head in, the number of posts wasted on arguing whether 1 is better than 2 and 3. Nobody is trading 1 for 2 and 3.
