Look you two, I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying it's BORING.

West Coast are having an exciting trade period. Yay them.

I mean it depends what you expected

 

[Jarman3]

AM I???!!!! Hell yeah.

You should see me swing a sack of doorknobs too.

OK, but you have to supply your own doorknobs.

Well, it appears that someone doesn't trust in Swann and Icke!

What are Port going to take for Houston now. Surely NM won't give up 2 or surely Houston won't go to them.

Future 1st from north or he stays maybe ?

Future 1st from north could be quite valuable… if they finish bottom 6 , it’s prob fair

A few little snippets of draft info that I got this morning:

• Eagles got wind of North showing strong interest in Draper at pick 2, so decided to drop back to get a couple of established players and still be able to take local midfielder Bo Allan at pick 12 (Freo are keen on a key forward so shouldn't be an issue)
• Melbourne very keen on Tauru at 5 or 9
• FOS to Carlton
• Langford or Lalor to North

Possible draft order now:

1. Lalor
2. Draper
3. FOS
4. Smith
5. Tauru
6. Langford
7. Smillie (a chance to drop out of the top 10 too)
8. Reid

personally ok with jagga
hes my no2 anyway after lalor

 

[Jeffcrowe]

So are we really not trying to get any other players? No other moves?

Like... just 2 weeks of sitting there trying to figure out how to get Peatling for a future 2nd or 3rd or whatever?

Like, what are the productivity metrics of those involved in this? I want that job, man. Like... just rest up for 1.5 weeks and do a day of work, delegate the paperwork to the work experience kid... kick back in the hotel.

Shit, I'm going to send an unsolicited application.

What do you mean ? We are likely to have added 3 best 22 players by tomorrow arvo

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Haven’t seen anyone say but trade radio mentioned we had interest in Sam Davidson from Richmond’s vfl side, I assume as a rookie.

Yep that was also mentioned a couple of months ago too , he’s a medium forward that goes ok

Not sure we he fits in if we take Welsh re list spots

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Might be as a SANFL player/mid season draft prospect

Good point

Suns academy wasn't he ?? Fleet of foot

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Suns academy wasn't he ?? Fleet of foot

Same name , different bloke

Edit this one is 191cm with blonde locks

The GC suns bloke was 180cm

Look you two, I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying it's BORING.

All the excitement happened in the first week or so, now it's just closing these deals.

 

[George Kramer]

You’d think a winning coach would be going so probably not Rawlings

They’ve seen past the blatant corruption which held us back

Dare say when it's all said and done we will be one of the winners of trade week.

Almost anything is better than adding a VFL player and nothing else last year.

given north are so keen on tauru cant see them not picking him at 2 cos he wont make it past 5 and neither carlton nor adelaide will trade down

 

[Danger in Texas]

Yep, best well-rounded trade period in years

Need to go star hunting (Phillipou/NWM) in the coming years, now

 

[Danger in Texas]

Langford or Lalor to North after you’ve suggested Draper

I’m guessing it’s a typo and he meant Richmond (whether it’s true or not)

 

[Cromulant]

Langford or Lalor to North after you’ve suggested Draper

I know he's not a live pick as such but surely someone bids on Ashcroft in the top 8

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Phillipou would be my prime target

 

[Crow till I die]

Phillipou would be my prime target

Would you rather Phillipou or Sharpe? if we are going to try and make a play to get one of them

 

[CharlieCrow]

Phillipou would be my prime target

why not now with our future first?

Interesting

Any read of how keen we are on smith vs Langford?

I rate Langford but Jagga is a star

 

[Sizzlepack]

Because the Saints would laugh us out of the room. From next year, we'll be able to use future picks from T+2 and T+3 years. More tools to get a trade like that done.

 

[Cromulant]

They'll want more than that.

Hold fire I reckon and have a go next year. Plus we might need to hit the draft with a lot of deadwood set to come out of contract

 

[1970crow]

In what universe is someone with half a good season ahead of a top 10 player at a premiership/consistent finals club for the last 4 years?

Can't believe West Coast didn't snare ANB with their first last year. Blew it on a bloke that had never even played a game at the highest level.
