[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Who is it you guys are desperate for at 3?

I really don’t know.

 

[119others]

Won’t be Carlton, we’ve just traded for pick 3.

Do you know what player u want? Pls not Draper

 

[crow2crow]

Who do carlton want at 3? Being WCE pick, that may make it easier for Draper to be there at pick 4?

Its reported they want FOS

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Its reported they want FOS

Do we though?

 

[Crow till I die]

FOS or Lalor seems to be the talk, I think

So if Richmond go Lalor or Smith at 1, North may go Smith or Lalor at 2 and Carlton FOS at 3 and Draper is there for us

 

[Danger in Texas]

I really don’t know.

Either way, it's a bargain for you guys in this draft

The weird thing is, if Freo keeps 11, WCE might not even end up with Allan

 

[Danger in Texas]

So if Richmond go Lalor or Smith at 1, North may go Smith or Lalor at 2 and Carlton FOS at 3 and Draper is there for us

Yeah probably

North are the wildcard here, no-one really knows who they like out of the top mids. Could even trade down to get Tauru and someone else

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Yeah probably

North are the wildcard here, no-one really knows who they like out of the top mids. Could even trade down to get Tauru and someone else

Willing to split their pick for Houston

 

[adelaidecrows]

I suspect Port walked away from the deal because they have decided they want their cake and eat it too. They want a missing piece to take them to the next step. Selling Houston for 13 doesnt do that. There is no net advantage. So because they have received the go ahead to trade their future first / second (who cares) for Luko I think they secretly want Houston to to gain that advantage.

 

[Crow till I die]

Yeah probably

North are the wildcard here, no-one really knows who they like out of the top mids. Could even trade down to get Tauru and someone else

Even better, imagine they take Tauru at 2, watch the scramble for pick 5 or 6 on draft night when one of FOS or Draper slide

 

[pjcrows]

If a player we want with our first pick isn't available because another club trades up to get him then it wouldn't be the first time.

 

[George Kramer]

Willing to split their pick for Houston

But if Houston doesn’t want North?

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

But if Houston doesn’t want North?

That’s the issue atm. He has until tomorrow.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Even better, imagine they take Tauru at 2, watch the scramble for pick 5 or 6 on draft night when one of FOS or Draper slide

Melb pretty easily have the best draft hand, IMO

In prime position to get at 5 any one of FOS/Lalor/Smith/Draper if they slide, or get a great haul if they trade the pick

Plus they have pick 9

 

[crow2crow]

Do we though?

We dont care because there are 4 mids we are happy with so we get one of them. We see them all roughly equal

 

[El Doederino]

Port spin team trying to convince us they’ll trade Houston to North even though he won’t agree to go there

 

[crow2crow]

That’s the issue atm. He has until tomorrow.

I still think you will get houston

 

[Jibroni]

Won’t be Carlton, we’ve just traded for pick 3.

Really, whats the deal?

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I still think you will get houston

No chance.

 

[George Kramer]

That’s the issue atm. He has until tomorrow.

Any idea why Port pulled the deal and what they want more?

Plus when are we sacking Nicks?

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Really, whats the deal?

Not sure yet - but there’s a third party involved

 

[Crow till I die]

Would not shock if North did something out there like that, that we field some pretty delicious offers for our pick which may mean a fall back of x places and some tasty 2025 draft capital

 

[George Kramer]

We dont care because there are 4 mids we are happy with so we get one of them. We see them all roughly equal

We do? How do you know?

 

[DJ75]

They will try and let things fall over with both Pies and Blues and then give Houston the ultimatum- return home to VIC and your GF and play for Kangas (offering highest coin) or come back and play for us for the rest of your career.

I can see it now.

Nah Port will get what they want. GC will once again take a shit deal.

 

[crow2crow]

Not sure yet - but there’s a third party involved

Probably GC as third party teaching Port a lesson
