They paid pick 2 to Freo for Lachie Weller…A player wanting to join GC is rare gold for any club.
i dont think it's that crazy, if collingwood finish 9th again next season they essentially get Noble for free and GC don't need a 1st rounder for this draft
Only A. Rumour, a KPP from the GC, seems to get mentioned a lot. A real lotBeen off in the abyss so oblivious to a lot of the news. Besides Barrass, are we thought to be looking at anyone else?
Mate the Pies getting pick 13 for an F1 and Noble. Lolllll
Noble was playing VFL.
Just fold GC.
Ainsworth it.Only A. Rumour, a KPP from the GC, seems to get mentioned a lot. A real lot
Bingo. Reckon this is the play right now.They need pick 14 for some of the other trades they want to do and probably don't prefer to split pick 3. So the longer we hold out the less we'll pay as they get desperate.
Personally i would rather lose this yearsYou're also missing that the pies will get back pick 29 aswell.
The only time the Suns have ever shown a backbone in trade negotiations was with us for Jaegar.
Something to think about if the eagles are just gonna on-trade pick 14 to the tigers for Baker why not offer a future 1st instead.
Tigers already have enough picks in this years draft so maybe they won't mind staggering one for next year.
Not Clarko - he'd drive the KPP to the airport himself & ship him off for an F4If we had a key player contracted for another 3 years and he wanted to be traded we would be doing the exact same thing here.
I don’t disagree with what you’ve posted but do you think it’s time the industry grew up ?It’s day 1 and all huff and puff.
Although people thought this would get done early it was never going to happen.
Yes the centre piece of the deal might be done but the second part was always going to require some negotiation.
Hawks have done the chasing here and Eagles have to be seen by everyone to be driving a tough negotiation.

The market really has changed for trading in key position players over the last ten years.
We got Lake and pick 27 for picks 21 and 41 in 2012 (sweet FA in short). And Lake was the best KPD player of his generation!
Yes Barrass is a few years younger than Lake was when we traded him in but Lake was the better player (not a slight against Barrass just acknowledging how damn good Brian was at playing footy).
I'm guessing of course that Big Bad Brian's behavioral "issues" probably got us a decent discount on that trade but geez it still looks like an absolute bargain in hindsight.
I don’t disagree with what you’ve posted but do you think it’s time the industry grew up ?
Do we really need to have the tough guy posturing ?
Can we just grow up & do deals that a fair for everyone, instead of having to win every trade ?
We are dealing with young people’s careers.
Players often mention afterwards how they were on holidays & stressing about whether they get to the club of choice or stay where they are.
Someone should rattle the GWS list for Riccardi, if they pick up Stringer
Not Clarko - he'd drive the KPP to the airport himself & ship him off for an F4
Brad Hill went OK.Has Ryan Burton really hurt us that much?
I watch him closely and reckon he is borderline best 22.
Correct he has not got a contract for next year and most likely won't get one allowing other clubs to recruit him as a delisted free agent.
Clubs will trade with a club even if the players is out of contract, as if he gets delisted he becomes a delisted free agent for life and can leave at the end of each contract like Dylan Moore is for us.Is he out of contract? We won’t get anything for him
Fair enough, in any case I doubt we’ll be getting anything of great value at bestSo if

Reading the interviews with Clarke and MM. Hawks have tabled an offer and thats it and WC saying publicly its not enough or they're unsure to take it as other deals have to progress for them because of Barrass pick/s being acquired. But Hawks haven't heard back whether WC will accept offer. Ball is in WC court.
