We traded into this year. We've been talking up getting aggressive re trades in the media. I'll bet we've known about both for some time.This scenario reminds me of Brisbane lions a couple of years ago. Had one pick in R1 at about 16 or 17. Had will Ashcroft and jaspa Fletcher as academy guns in the top 12 of the ND to match bids on.
THEN Josh Dunkley nominated them. A premium mid worth two first rounders in most people’s books.
They got it done somehow.
Players don’t request trades unless there’s strong commitment it will get over the line.
This is an opportunity too good to pass up. The only way it doesn't happen is if their clubs won't release them.
