Freo could still trade up tho. Whether we were spooked (like the Sinn draft) again....Am I tripping balls or did we not have a pick above Freo?
I think you've finally worked out how to get rid of the emoji salad.Done

Fills a need?Don’t get me wrong he does fill a need for us. But we didn’t need to do the pick swap to get him. And arguably we should’ve gone best talent available, and could’ve filled the need for a small/medium forward later.
Almost as stupid as this commentIt feels like we're desperate to do the dumbest thing possible so people will forget about the August extension. Like just drown it all in a sea of stupidity so you cant distinguish one bit of idiocy from the other.
Who they spent a first round pick on recruiting.No they didn’t.
They traded for Cameron, their best and only true small forward.
They had a pick before Freo.Did WCE give us anything so they could get Allen before Freo?
and at the last minute we traded up anyway. Great smoke and mirrors stuff thereGot a message from someone in the know, who says that we were always targeting Berry and KPF has been media talk.
Obviously the club encouraged the KPF talk to try and keep talk away from Berry.
It seems pretty stupid, it seems we were bluffed. It's fair for people to think the trade is silly, especially when on the surface it is ridiculous. They should be explaining the decision post this first round.Berry is good, wtf is everyone’s issue? The pick 45 the issue? Obviously freo were sniffing around, maybe it wasn’t necessary but perhaps we are looking to take Burgoyne or Barrett and don’t need pick 45 for that .
Chill out, you’re not an expert even if you think you are.

If we don't need 45, we can trade that for a future 3rd, and use pick 1 million to draft Rome.Berry is good, wtf is everyone’s issue? The pick 45 the issue? Obviously freo were sniffing around, maybe it wasn’t necessary but perhaps we are looking to take Burgoyne or Barrett and don’t need pick 45 for that .

We wouldn't have after they traded with West Coast.Am I tripping balls or did we not have a pick above Freo?
Forgive me if I can't take you remotely seriously because you get angry at the club one day, then seem to forget it the next and Port knows best. No conviction.Berry is good, wtf is everyone’s issue? The pick 45 the issue? Obviously freo were sniffing around, maybe it wasn’t necessary but perhaps we are looking to take Burgoyne or Barrett and don’t need pick 45 for that .

We don’t have elite ones.Fills a need?
So we have Rioli, DBJ, SPP, Charleson, Anastasopoulos, Richards, McEntee, as small forwards, plus JHF, Rozee and Butters can also spend time forward and impact the scoreboard.
That's ten small forward types, now 11 with Berry.
That's a quarter of our list FFS!!!
Surely we have to delist at least two of them??????
You’re assuming we were bluffed. If the options were we are losing 45 to get the player we want and not lose him to freo, or keep 45 and get a player we don’t want at 16, I’m getting rid of 45.It seems pretty stupid, it seems we were bluffed. It's fair for people to think the trade is silly, especially when on the surface it is ridiculous. They should be explaining the decision post this first round.
Contracts. We don't have the money to throw away those contracts unfortunately. Still surprised we did it with Clurey, can only assume he is getting picked up.Well, what’s done is done. Berry will be a very good player for us and does fill the one position in our team that we are / were weakest in. Why are Charleson and McEntee still on our list though?
