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

Maybe West Coast should have read Bigfooty as well, disgraceful trade by them.

 

[George Kramer]

Maybe West Coast should have read Bigfooty as well, disgraceful trade by them.

Maybe the Crows should, we wouldn’t make so many **** ups

 

[crow2crow]

Maybe the Crows should, we wouldn’t make so many **** ups

there's definitely more accountability here than at AFC HQ. cant say anything with defending hundreds of alternative arguments

 

[Geoffa32]

1.6m for both it was reported y/day (previously I had thought Luko 1m and Rat 400k)

Yeah Luko on big coin. He used "go home factor" to get it.

Will be Port's highest paid player.

 

[fuic08]

Maybe the Crows should, we wouldn’t make so many **** ups

I've said on here before that bigfooty crowd sourcing would be a better coach

 

[Carmo]

All I can say was it was another great move by the AFL not to bring in the two years ahead pick trading cos Carlton and Richmond whinged. Seems to be working out pretty good for those two teams so far.

 

[GreyCrow]

I've said on here before that bigfooty crowd sourcing would be a better coach

We could never come to an agreement before the siren went at the end of the game and we are still in the changeroom

 

[Mutineer]

The trade itself isn't the only issue.

The issue is: are the people at West Coast making these decisions competent? And what other decisions will they stuff up?

It's one of those signpost moments where the negative implications are far greater than just one single decision

Well Pyke wanted Gallucci instead of Tim English so there is that?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Shaking my head. Thats a terrible deal by WC. Should have tried something earlier when there was real meat on the bone.

 

[Redline]

Yeah Luko on big coin. He used "go home factor" to get it.

Will be Port's highest paid player.

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

 

[fuic08]

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

 

[Mutineer]

Somethings never change...

 

[Crow till I die]

I hope the WCE fans don't take it out on Baker and Owies as its not their fault

 

[DJ75]

I hope the WCE fans don't take it out on Baker and Owies as its not their fault

So WCE get Liam Baker and Pick 12 for pick 3.

That's an awful deal.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

How did this deal get done before Peatling? What is holding this up?

 

[Disco Fox]

I hope the WCE fans don't take it out on Baker and Owies as its not their fault

They have collectively lost their s**t on the WC board. I presume they think that Pick 12 will get them Bo Allan - which it probably will.

 

[fuic08]

Somethings never change...

It's now been 10 mins for 8.5 mins of ads. It's crazy how bad it is.

 

[daniel_4tw]

I hope the WCE fans don't take it out on Baker and Owies as its not their fault

Terrible trade.

West Coast again giving very high pick away for cents on the dollar. Not sure they can complete their rebuild when they keep giving top picks away.

From a selfish point of view, it is good for Crows if we really are into Draper. Pretty much guarantees he’ll be there at 4 now.

 

[Mutineer]

I hope the WCE fans don't take it out on Baker and Owies as its not their fault

That is absolutely crazy from the Eagles, must think they can get Bo Allan with #12 but that's no guarantee, I guess we wait and see what Barass brings in?

 

[Draft Bored]

That is absolutely crazy from the Eagles, must think they can get Bo Allan with #12 but that's no guarantee, I guess we wait and see what Barass brings in?

I feel like I just witnessed a robbery.

 

[Shifty Crow]

Eagles fans in absolute disbelief

Draper camp will be happy

[DJ75]

Carlton absolutely winning that trade.
They gave up 12 and 14 for pick 3.

A top 3 pick for two picks not in the top ten. Insane.

 

[Scorpus]

Lock in the Eagles for bottom 4 for several more years. Basket case

Not happy Jan - that should have been the port fans this morning after that 3 club deal went through...b@stards pulled the pin when they saw the blowback

 

[Jarman3]

I feel like I just witnessed a robbery.

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