I don't mind VicBased hanging in our forum. There's nothing going on, and he's like the crazy uncle cousin on Boxing Day. We sit around wondering what he'll say next, and it's a good chuckle.

Have I missed something - why is there so much fuss about pick 13 in particular?

 

[hardway]

The onus is on Hawthorn. The rumblings have already started in the AFL regards Hawthorn are the bad guys.

Santa works at Carlton now!!

It’s a nice decoy to the fact that nothing else is going on.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Our theories about Geelong being painted favourably in the media by comparison to Hawthorn has been unequivocally proven true this trade period.

Hawthorn are the bad guys and need to offer up more than pick 14 for a 29 year old seeking a trade from a battling club for family reasons.

Geelong are threatening to walk a former pick 6 with previous elite proven form in finals to the draft because they refuse to cough up anything more than pick 17, and nobody in the media seems to have a problem with it.

Sorry guys, way boring our end also. Most boring trade period ever. just a little fun.
The powers that be have already figured it out and are now vying for " Academy Awards" at our expense.

My guess is that it's the most gettable high pick in this draft, now that Melbourne has expectedly grabbed pick nine. 13 apparently unlocks Houston for either Collingwood or Carlton, and it could get Smith to Geelong. Whoever has that pick could have a nice little bidding war from three clubs or even go to the draft if nothing plays out. If it's there to be bought and we've got the goods to get it, I reckon it's a nice buy.

To be able to draft Smith, and extort the Cats on draft night?

Have to agree with that. Bored silly over here.

when you look at the offers for Suns pick 13. Can’t help but feel we got shafted for pick 14.

 

[hawkmang]

Damo just admitted on air there won’t be any trades until tomorrow morning.

They’re not even trying to hide the fact it’s all stage managed now.

Ah well I’ll keep listening just in case

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Actually, no, I am quite calm.

Feels like "Ground Hog" day but calm I am, thanks guys for keeping me going.

 

[I got the outside word]

Hawthorns idea of a fair offer and WC's idea of a fair offer is vastly different.
Hawthorn courted a contracted player and overs should be paid-up.

The Eagles went back on a handshake agreement with a player they’ve had and known for years and are now pushing him out for draft picks because they need to rebuild. We are just the new home he wants I think.

 

[I got the outside word]

Mate you have no idea. Sammy made a special trip over to piss in Tom's ear.
Keep up.

I don’t think that was just to see Tom.

They need bonus points for early trades. The earlier you get the trade done, you get bonuses or cap relief

I don’t think it’s the list managers holding things up, I think it’s the AFL asking them to delay until the last few days

Yeah shithouse. So AFL

There would be a way to stop it......noone logs into trade radio

Everyone complains about it but then sits on the station all day

I haven't listened to a second of it it's been fantastic

Lots of reasons to get pick 13.

• it stops the pies getting Houston.
• WC might accept 13 straight off.
• it potentially allows us to on trade to someone else’s offer that might be better for us (or WC).

Eg, at the moment it might be WC passing on a F1 from us/Carl for Baker, and keeping a F2.
But if we swap into 13 then 19/22 from Syd and give it to WC, they could give 19 for Baker and keep 22.

Or MM might get himself a statue giving 19 and 33 for Barass while keeping 22…

And the amount of cap relief is determined using secret herbs & spices that know one can calculate except the AFL, I like it

Being serious for a moment I reckon 19/33 and a future second would have WC getting the paperwork ready.

The funny thing about it is that the media don't even seem to realise the inconsistency in their own assessment of the two trades.

Happy to be corrected on this but I don't think anyone in the media - not even Kane - has criticised the Cats' stance on Smith yet.
