2024 Picks



2025 Picks

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Anyone know a good hot water system brand I should look into?

Depends.

Do you want the hottest of hot hot water you’ve ever seen?

You wouldnt ****en believe it, my agent calls me today and tells me the tenant has reported the HWS is no longer working.

 

[Sixpence]

Would Bailey Smith get walked to the national draft or the pre-season draft?

Pretty sure it's the PSD they go to. So we would have a pick before Geelong.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Personally I hope the Barrass trade falls over

 

[onthemoney]

Can go in National. That's how Collingwood picked up Luke Ball.

 

[satan1]

I think that's a win:win position.
No one could argue F1 & F2 is not fair.
They take it happy, they don't take it, happy.
I hope we have enforced a deadline on WCE so we can get on with an alternative of TB falls through.

 

[hardway]

Surely Tigers would be all over him if he went into the national draft

fit into our rat pack

Smith, Ginni, Wiz, CMAC…

 

[HairyO]

Could only be national. Clubs would take him in PSD.

Richmond have 5 picks before Geelong dont they?

And will have no idea how to get to the cap floor.

 

[2008wasoverDEW!]

West Coast will cave. Future 1st + Future 2nd is a good deal for them. They also choose whether want the picks linked with us, or Carlton. The deal will get done.

Or a contending club could trade their future first to Richmond for one of them and nab him.

 

[onthemoney]

He would be a great pickup for Richmond and Tiges fans would absolutely embrace him. Geelong playing a dangerous game if they don't pay up in the next few hours... a game that I hope backfires on them spectacularly

 

[Slaatybaadfaast]

My take out - clubs are so shit scared of Hawthorn developing a powerful dynastic side that they play hard ball with us, as opposed to the 'king Gold Coast or St Shiteda. Oppo list managers and coaches have a side eye on the perceived strength of rival lists as well as there own..

 

[Kuuz]

Both F1?

F1 + F2 - same as Barrass. Make Eagles think they might miss out too. Doubt we would do something so mad, but would at least make for good entertainment and make Weagles sweat a bit

If the BS came off for both F1, then the new offer to WCE for TB would be any other picks they take a fancy to.

Sort of a Dutch auction

 

[Ned Ryerson]

I think the speculation is nobody would touch him in the ND for fear of the wrath of Paul Connors - which says everything wrong with the current system.

 

[Kuuz]

Paul Conners basically running his stock like a mafia don at this rate. Crooked as all hell but AFL basically give up vs AFLPA, so he gets to influence however he wants, however dodgey

 

[PenAndPaper]

A lot of trades not looking good….. Barrass, Smith, McRae!

That's what they want you to think. All will be done come deadline, they just want as many eyes on the product until then

 

[killerspud]

You wouldnt ****en believe it, my agent calls me today and tells me the tenant has reported the HWS is no longer working.

My hot water system has just blown up - is this an affliction for Hawks fans at the moment?

 

[Hawks future]

Is it even possible for us to trade both future 1sts and 2nds?

Yes which is why hawks are trying to do future 1st and 2nd because they have doubles offer 2 first and they can't again until next year

 

[MC_9]

I don't reckon the Smith deal will be done. I don't think there is much love there between Smith and Dogs.

[cryptor]

Turned on the Trade Radio livestream as I figured there might be something going on at this point.

Nope.

Just the same shit on loop...

"We're going to a break. Don't go anywhere so you don't miss anything!"
random camera footage of bored club officials having chats among themselves at tables and in hallways or otherwise playing on their phones
"And we're back. Here's a list of all the trades that still haven't happened yet..."
"Club xyz have just entered the building. They'd be feeling good/bad about what they've achieved so far..."
"And now it's time for a quick break. Don't go anywhere..."

Blow. My. Brains. Out.

There's definitely bad-blood between the Bulldogs and Smith. They shouldn't be doing him any favours, nor should they be assisting a Premiership rival with a bargain deal.
Geelong should be forced to pay a fair price for a dynamic 10 year player, or Smith can try his luck in the draft.

If the Baz trade doesn't go through clubs will have 6 weeks to try to open his mind to move elsewhere.

for me I tuned out and have only just come back to follow the last few hours. I am sure many have done the same.

 

[Hawkspot]

Been busy for a few hours, come back to check what’s happened on the super exciting trade deadline day.. Nothing.

Macrae for 47 was rejected, and a Brisbane ressies player moved.

Guess I’ll check at 8, we all know we won’t know what’s happened at 7:30 anyway.

We don’t know enough of what’s happening for this to be interesting.
