[Scorpus]

The trade is even worse if West Coast believe the best player in the draft in their opinion (Draper) will be there at pick 3.

 

[Crow till I die]

Also Carlton's trade means we could have finished in the finals, then traded our 2024 and 2025 picks along with a player the calibre of Murphy to get a pick better than we got for finishing bottom 4

Its an odd year for that as most years there is a very defined top end and its almost impossible to bust into it, but this year is the 1 year where that logic has flipped on its head as its seen to be a deep draft

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

The trade is even worse if West Coast believe the best player in the draft in their opinion (Draper) will be there at pick 3.

It would go against everything Richmond and North are saying for him not to be

 

[Shifty Crow]

Any trades that involve trading a first round pick would need board approval.

I think the trade was initially endorsed and the board has reacted to the supporters reaction

[Scorpus]

Always the case when Non-Vic/Vic trades happen. Houston should go for pick 13 and steak knives but Rioli is worth pick 6 and 23.

And Bailey Smith is only worth pick 17 to Geelong but Baker is somehow worth more to West Coast

 

[Runnin Blue]

You posted that after how many beers? At least this time you weren’t boasting about drinking and posting, adult

Lol, look. I hit a nerve with Basement here.

How’d you know I was talking about you?

 

[119others]

Big Footy mentioned as why Port Board poo pooed the deal haha

Trade Radio just said it after Board members probably read the Big Footy feedback and scrapped the deal

Classic

 

[PeterSalt]

good point mate. I cant remember the last time, if ever, a player, let alone an A Grade and high profile trade target, hasnt nominated a club. Its been regularly said in the media he wants Pies or Blues (seemingly unlikely now) and I just hope he doesnt buckle and agree to go to Kangas with Power pushing him towards that outcome if he wants to get back to Vic. No way is he worth a pick 1-4 in next years draft (and I understand Power dont want next year anyway but could no doubt on trade that for perhaps a top 10 pick this year AND a first rounder next year if Kangas are so stupid to offer that up)

As Kane McG mentioned, players often won't nominate a club unless they're sure that a deal can be completed

I still think the basis of the 3 way trade is there, they just need to tweak things

And I still think part of the problem is the perception of what GC are paying for Rioli vs what Collingwood appear to be paying for Houston

Wonder if Reidy now gets into Suns ear about us taking Luko for F1 - with their 2nd coming back

Just to throw a spanner in the works and really piss Power off

Need to offer him another 4 years at $950K though.......

Chief must be paying the big bucks to get a plug in between tires and whatever else they are flogging off between 2 minute segments.

 

[Scorpus]

Are West Coast going to push through the deal at 6am Perth time so members aren't awake to burn the club to the ground?

Love it to happen but PA's deal to PA looks overs dollar wise on current form. Hardwicke would be pushing a payer out if his was one of his stars.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

If Pyke somehow puts the Eagles in an even worse position, that's going to make me reassess the weighting of blame in the whole Pyke/Birdbrain saga.

 

[119others]

thats true and not sure we even really want him at all. just more being disruptive to Port if we can - and I know 100% that Reidy has done something similar previously. from the horses mouth

Wce officially getting rogered

Chief


mate you are probably already aware of this. Mentioned 15-20 mins ago

 

[George Kramer]

Crikey

So who gives 63/68 to Carlton?

 

[1990crow]

Crikey

So who gets 63/68, surely not Carlton

Maybe Pyke really is an idiot.

The way he handled the Simpson exit makes you wonder

 

[119others]

Wce officially getting rogered

just cant believe their stupidity

Like Kane said, get aggressive and take Baker in the PSD with hefty price tag for a couple of years (say 150k overs) to scare off Kangas or Tigers redrafting. Then pick 3 could probably get at least 2 other first rounders including a top 10 pick to get the WA lad

Owies is unwanted FFS

 

[FR0GGY]

Crikey

The backend picks (not worth much) are even more in favor of Carlton

 

[crow2crow]

Carlton do need outside speed/burst from stoppage. Maybe they are into Draper?

its FOS. its been reported repeatedly. he is sam walsh cousin

I reckon the issue might be the combined salary of Luko and Ratkins. Board also need to approve such a high salary value trade.

Would be over $1m a year for the two.
