I reckon with Cunners, Ziebell, maybe Goldy and maybe Shiels exiting, Clarko might go sniffing around Isaac Smith

for a couple of post-retirement years. Would still be the best runner on our list if he came. Just a question of whether getting him will keep Goater from playing week in and week out.

I reckon we're trading up for Reid regardless.

Barrett was running with this on TFS, was really positive about the meaning of the win and then said he expects us to get Reid anyway.

How would you have thrown yesterday's game?

In hindsight, we probably couldn’t have.

Didn’t say if it happens by WC taking curtin or them squeezing us for something to swap.

"Hey fellas, I know i havent' been round for half the season and i only just recently got back, and that you've all lost 20 in a row, and some of you haven't had a win this year, and haven't had a win ever... but could you go out there and lose on purpose so that we have a slightly better pick at the draft?"

I reckon we're trading up for Reid regardless.

With Reid reportedly telling West Coast he wants to stay in Melbourne, I wonder if they're thinking about splitting the #1 pick. Would give us Reid with #2, but seems too good to be true.

i think if they split the pick the club that offered up the picks would be doing it to take reid, i mean why else would you?

ftfy

 

[swaeney]

WCE would be silly not to draft Curtin.. they might try and fish an extra pick out of us in exchange for #1 but I don't see how theres any way they dont take their local boy who is near on par with reid....

Don't know how I didn't think of that haha

I don't see the point, tbh.

If the Eagles don't want him, they just pick someone else and we get him at 2 (or wherever it lands, post GC academy bids).

And any deal that gets us pick 1 costs us somewhere else.

If the idea is to trade for 1 so others (eg Melbourne) don't get him, then let them pay up - we'll still get a great player at 2.

 

[hilly]

Happy to trade 2 for 1 and sweeten it a touch so they can also sell it as a win. But I'd wait for them to call first.

 

[Themanbun]

Just take Curtin at 2 if someone takes Reid with 1

 

[New_Roo]

Just take Curtin at 2 if someone takes Reid with 1

Agree and let wet toast know... you go and split your pick, we take curtin...take him at one or he is gone... pretty simple

That should be the line if we want to force them to split 1 with us.

I’m going to take word of us wanting curtin with a grain of salt.

Don't think WC touch Reid with a 10 foot pole with pick 1. If they trade it away, we just screw them and take Curtin.

Imagine if we got band 1 compo for McKay, which is pick 3.

We then trade pick 2 and port's first rounder for pick 1.

And knowing that West Coast don't want Reid, we take Curtin at 1 and Reid at 3.

Roughly/Franklin all over again.

It would have had to be blatant.

We’d have been fined.

Any assistance would have gone to zero.

Winning leaves assistance on the table, we don’t get fined. It legitimises all our losses, if we were tanking surely we tank the most important game to tank.

It also means we didn’t sell our soul for a pick.

Cards will fall where they may now.

The future is still a bright one.

 

[Carey4life]

The strategy of West Coast taking Curtin is an interesting one. West Coast would have pretty good data on the premium they end up paying good Melbourne kids at their second or third contact.

They'd probably be saving $200-250k a season if Gaff was from WA, before discussing how far he's regressed form wise.

It's also not cheap to get proven WA talent home (e.g. Kelly or Jackson), so there isn't a huge advantage in the long game.

Not sure if AFL recruiters are this salary cap focused/advanced in their analysis yet though.

 

[Ashley B]

Players are more comfortable if they get to stay home especially at the beginning of their careers. Curtains to WCE ,Reid to us , you know it makes sense. George says it best

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

If Brady thinks they want curtin but put out smoke signals they want Reid, it might become a high stakes blinking contest.

They’ll want to split their pick with us. Does Brady hood the ground or give up something?

Haha could you imagine that. Massive over pay if we trade pick 2 and 14 (Port's first) for just 1. WCE would have to get us back into the 2nd round or very early 3rd round for it to be fair points wise.

The AFL will just do some horse trading.

Here North, take this compensation pick and pass it onto WC with your pick 2.

Everyone is a winner. AFL assist WC through the back door and North get the talented VIC kid.

Yep. I think Mr afl.com.au saying Reid to north lends your theory very credible.

Fancy but Melbourne would just live trade into 2 and we’ve lost the Port pick for nothing.
