[GROTTO]

The long term play would be Draper and Reid for 10 years

I thought they may have taken FOS ( who if I am not mistaken is very good friends with Reid) and just as good if not arguably better than Draper.

 

[Geoffa32]

It's not the reason you draft local but it certainly helps. He played us and Port off against the Gold Coast every negotiation.

And now Hardwick doesn't want him....

 

[Danger in Texas]

Either of our offers would be a bargain

Will be interesting to see how this ends up

 

[croweater 41]

Which is where we were 12 days ago

 

[Geoffa32]

I've had trade radio on for 5 minutes for 4.5mins of ads so far

Is it still Bertocchi ham?

 

[GROTTO]

Robbery? I feel like I just witnessed a Diddy party.

 

[Geoffa32]

Shit.....maybe Pyke really was interested in getting Hinkley to WCE going by that trade....

 

[Crow till I die]

Either of our offers would be a bargain

Will be interesting to see how this ends up

Would be very happy with either as we retain a F2 in some capacity in either scenario.

 

[Geoffa32]

Robbery? I feel like I just witnessed a Diddy party.

At least Diddy supplied lube....

 

[GROTTO]

I find it unbelievable that other teams don't come in a undercut this terrible deal now they know how desperate West Coast are.

MFC have a better hand, as do Richmond and St Kilda.

Good post.

I think a lot of Clubs would have offered better than Carlton for Pick 3.

Truly madness decision by the Eagles.

You watch the inevitable career comparison of Pick 3 vs Owies, Baker and whoever the Eagles land at their later Pick.

 

[fuic08]

Continental tyres and Grimace shake mainly

 

[GROTTO]

Baby Oil is not really the best option.

 

[tinman]

Isn't Owies out of contract?

Yeah I thought that he was one of the players Carlton had told to explore his options. Like Kennedy.

Scratch the Owies thoughts. I still reckon that a few of these contracted players, especially the Richmond ones are coming with salary.

Also same with Noble. No way is he worth what GC are paying.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Stop treating your fans like idiots! Everyone knows you don’t want Stringer, there is no scenario he’s walking back into the club. The contract is irrelevant!

 

[Redline]

Current SANFL coach is off to Freo

 

[Scorpus]

Mick Godden?

 

[hippyhippy]

Man... We are really playing the psd card with gws 2 times ina row

Owies was a chance to be delisted

What you haven'tinstalled a Rheem? You know the hot, hot water you've ever seen people..

 

[Hodgy]

Which is where we were 12 days ago

Surely Peatling is worth more than ANB. We rolled over straight away for him, giving pick 27, and yet we are squabbling over a F3 for Peatling. I don’t get it.

 

[daniel_4tw]

This was the last 3-way trade WCE did:

WEST COAST
Trade out: Junior Rioli, picks No.2, 40
Trade in: Picks No.8, 12, 2023 second-round pick (tied to Port Adelaide), 2023 third-round pick (tied to Port Adelaide)

Maybe they should steer clear of multi club trades…

 

[GROTTO]

Owies was a chance to be delisted

My understanding is that Carlton offered him a very low basic contract.

Yeah they got rolled on that one too

Think we’re operating under the banner of ‘one’s contracted, one isn’t’ (despite the vastly different situations for ANB and Peatling)

 

[Draft Bored]

12 and 14 for pick 3....

GC could have traded pick 6 up to 3 to get above the Lombard range. 6 + 20 for 3... that's more a more realistic trade and GC would have another top 3 player. 20 goes to Richmond for Baker.

Whoever is managing both of their trade periods needs to be fired. Abysmal.

These two clubs have crumpled under the pressure from Richmond and the VIC media's valuation of their players. These trade values are more than fair. Both these clubs have ruined their drafts imo.
