**** yeah! Finally a bit of spice to the trade period, Hawks completely ****ing over the Eagles in their pursuit of Baker. Decent chance that Freo offer up 3 first round picks for Baker and Bolton now, while the Eagles keep Barrass. Would put the Eagles firmly in pole position to get Warner next year though as Freo just won't have the picks.

I think it will be a three way trade - something like:

Barass to Hawthorn
Hawthorn's F1 and Baker to WCE
Carlton's F1 to Richmond

 

[ABAB]

They can offer what they like, but Port won't be getting Pick 2.

If North were serious they would try and split Pick 2 into 2 first round picks with Freo or GWS and keep one pick and trade the other to Port.

No way would North ever contemplate give Pick 2 for Houston, it would be sheer lunacy.

Might be the only way Houston would agree to join them so Port Power would agree to trade him but yes it would crazy by North.

 

[LoBu]

Can't see St. kilda taking an f1 when he's in contract, smart thing works be to wait a year, then take the first or push for 2 first when we can trade 2 years in advance.

[crow2crow]

Not if North really want him, reportedly have upped their offer recently. If that happen then Lukosius would need to be F2 + pick 36

he will not go to north
fullstop

GC will not accept anything but a first for luko

Barass to Hawthorn

Carlton's F1 to Richmond

LOL. Have Carlton turned into Father Christmas?

 

[50BC]

Its a kind of personality profiling used in the workplace. Its hocus pocus but interesting

I consider those sort of pseudo-science personality systems to be right up there with horoscopes and the reading of goats entrails

 

[jackster83]

They traded their F1 to Hawthorn a short while ago.

 

[Vader]

How's this look for a 3 way trade.

GWS
In: Crows F2
Out: Peatling

Saints
In: Berry, Crows F1, Pick 62
Out: Wanganeen-Milera, F2

Crows
In: Wanganeen-Milera, Peatling, Saints F2
Out: F1, Berry, F2, Pick 62

I don't think GWS do that, given that they're demanding more than our F2 right now.

 

[1990crow]

I don't think GWS do that, given that they're demanding more than our F2 right now.

They can demand all they like, doubt they get it.

 

[George Kramer]

Mail: Crows are trying to pry Wanganeen-Milera out of Saints. More likely laying groundwork for '25 but from what I hear it's active.

Please tell me it’s not from the cricket bloke

 

[Vader]

They can demand all they like, doubt they get it.

I'm not sure if St Kilda have any interest in Berry either.

To me, it looks like you're attempting to offload an unwanted Crows player (Berry), and get GWS to hand over a player for less than they're currently demanding.

It's great for the Crows... I just don't see either of the other clubs going for it.

Saints getting Macrae would probably kill any interest/need in Berry.

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

What did you do? That’s what I wanna know.

We used to get rewarded for using certain areas of learning in our work each week, and this week was using similes (as big as a house, as hot as hell). Every simile we used in our creative writing earned 1 minute extra outdoor time on Friday. One kid put a huge amount in his story and I called him a square of all things. I was just jealous of his playground time haha. Teacher called me out on it infront of everyone and I lost all my extra minutes.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Pretty clear that NWM should be the main 2025 target, now that we’ve added a few good best 22 pieces we need to start chasing stars

A ridiculous exercise and an idiotic teacher.

 

[croweater 41]

Seems simple enough

 

[Crow_68]

Yep, we just need a pick to match the Welsh bid.

Baker is out of contract. He'll get to West Coast.

Love this from Hawthorn - sends a clear message that they will do things on their terms.

Imagine the look on the West Coast List Manager’s face…..

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

And senior players giving it to him whose own form and effort should be questioned?

I doubt the club would be trying to teach Laird much these days. He has been a brilliant player for a long time even though last year wasn't a good year for him. Perhaps him giving Rash a dressing down was part of it all, perhaps Laird got a speaking to after saying that. Perhaps Laird got no extra playground minutes on friday that week...

Most likely we will never know the intricacies about it all as it probably happened behind closed doors, and all we can do is connect snippets of info we are privvy to into whatever "truth" we can.

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

heck I know I'm getting old when someone my age is giving a 'kids these days' rant.

Sorry mate, we getting old!

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

A ridiculous exercise and an idiotic teacher.

Although 31 years later I remember what a Simile is, and didn't call anyone a square infront of the class again. So the teacher got what they wanted

So 2 rules then for senior players and youngsters and given Laird wasn’t the only one piling on, I can see such actions having a positive impact on the culture of the place

GWS

In: Berry, Crows F1, Pick 62
Out: Wanganeen-Milera, F2

Crows
In: Wanganeen-Milera, Peatling, Saints F2
Out: F1, Berry, F2, Pick 62

Not exactly a good trade for Saints. I guess it could work out well for them if we end up at the bottom of the ladder again but it's a pretty big risk for them to take.

A ridiculous exercise and an idiotic teacher.

Yeah, stupid teachers trying to teach English to kids!
