"We need to get this done quickly, Geelong have a lot of other deals in the works".

Oh cripes, that was it. I couldn't remember the exact sentiment.

Basically, "we had to make it easy for them to pinch the best player in the comp so as not to inconvenience them. And unrelated, does anyone have any spare lunch money?"

 

[DJ75]

Because the suns are the stupid party... Not the afl

When the afl gives away the draft pick... Everybody else loses. When the suns do it, they are only doing it to themselves.

And it's also mostly to the benefit of Victorian teams, so...

 

[George Kramer]

lol

 

[1990crow]

lol

Should've looked for a training base location in inner eastern Melbourne.

 

[DJ75]

Like one Saturday in 2017 I’ve blocked that trade from my memory we got the champion Gore and what else for Danger?

Geelong are pissing themselves laughing still

"...and we got them to take on Gore as well!"

 

[rabidcrow]

FOS is still my preferred option, so I’m hoping Richmond take Smith, North go Lalor and West Coast selects Draper.

Would feel weird ending up with a Vic Metro lad in Jagger. Would we actually take him or go for Travaglia in that scenario?

Smillie or Langford

Richmond are apparantley asking for pick 23 on top of pick 6!

I'd have thought a late first to early second would be about right. 6+23 would be insane

 

[Eagleboy2011]

I'd have thought a late first to early second would be about right. 6+23 would be insane

Makes our pick 6 for Rankine look a steal.

 

[Mutineer]

I'd have thought a late first to early second would be about right. 6+23 would be insane

He's contracted to 2027.

 

[jackster83]

I'd have thought a late first to early second would be about right. 6+23 would be insane

Houston is worth pick 1 and 2 if that's the case. He's five times the player Rioli is.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

He's contracted to 2027.

Has Rioli said he wants to go back home to his family yet. Seems to work.

 

[hugecannon]

Wasn’t it 11, 28 (used for Menzel) and Gore for Danger and a late pick?

Milera pick wasn’t it? 10 or 13

 

[cmndstab]

Wasn’t it 11, 28 (used for Menzel) and Gore for Danger and a late pick?

Essentially. It was picks 9, 28 and Gore for Dangerfield and pick 50. Pick 28 was traded for Menzel as you say (we also gave them Kerridge), pick 9 drifted out to pick 11 on draft night.

Given that Milera hasn't worked out, it was a disaster trade.

 

[Shifty Crow]

That's gonna be the problem. No one else is gonna pay a million dollars a year AND give up a top 20 pick for a guy who has all the issues Oliver has. Wanting your cake and eating it too from a Melbourne POV.

$1.3 er year for the rest of his contract

[Kane McGoodwin]

lol

Pick #6 is overs, let alone #23 also.

I would argue Houston is slightly better & imo he is worth around 1st rounder in early teens.

But GC love paying crazy overs...

 

[1970crow]

I don’t disagree but the AFL has dubbed Battle a pick 8. Herein lies the problem

No they didn't, they dubbed him band 1, the pick could be anywhere between 2 & 19. The AFL don't determine the pick, only the band.

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Makes our pick 6 for Rankine look a steal.

Except Rankine was out of contract. We could’ve walked him to the preseason draft.

Geez, would have been nice to have not wilted and paid 28 straight up for a 29 year old role player. Getting a F3 back would be handy right about now.

 

[El Doederino]

Oh cripes, that was it. I couldn't remember the exact sentiment.

Basically, "we had to make it easy for them to pinch the best player in the comp so as not to inconvenience them. And unrelated, does anyone have any spare lunch money?"

Also we couldn’t ask for their future first because they needed that to get Henderson from Carlton. Okily Dokey then. That pick eventually ended up with Brisbane to get Jarrod Berry.

 

[Cromulant]

Geez, would have been nice to have not wilted and paid 28 straight up for a 29 year old role player. Getting a F3 back would be handy right about now.

He's far better than a role player

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Geez, would have been nice to have not wilted and paid 28 straight up for a 29 year old role player. Getting a F3 back would be handy right about now.

3rd in Melbourne B and F is more than a role player.

 

[1970crow]

Got more than we would have got if we didn't force a trade and accepted free agency compo.

Why would we accept FA compo, we had the money to match and were always going to do it. There's a reason Cats didn't lodge paperwork, they knew it was futile.

 

[1970crow]

Geelong are pissing themselves laughing still

"...and we got them to take on Gore as well!"

Gore was 'definitely going to pay firsts next season at Cats'. 'It was just like getting another late first thrown in'. Mutineer fell for it hook, line and sinker.

 

[1970crow]

He's far better than a role player

Ok, sure he is.

 

[1970crow]

3rd in Melbourne B and F is more than a role player.

Murphy finished 6th in ours last year.
