I was happy swapping a future 4th and 3rdSo we’ve basically swapped CCj for Tarrant, upgraded pick 72 to pick 19 in the 2022 draft, and jumped a couple of spots in the 3rd round this year. Sound OK

Just glad Dimma won’t have to scrape him up pissed as a mule off the club room dunny floors again
That and I’m glad we bent them over. They’re at the “well on draft points it’s not as bad as it seems” stage of grief
What were these thoughts again?I believe my thoughts have been reiterated on Trade Radio just now.
A bit more gracious please. CCJ did nothing wrong other than going to another club for opportunity, nothing that 1,000 players haven't done previously. And we did well in the trade. Happy all round. He might have been a good player for us but he is hardly Noah Balta.
C'mon fellaaaasssss! I was close!! Bring the love!!!!!!!!Could we be trying for:
Out: CCJ & and 47
In: 2022 r2 & Tarrant
Next year likely 19- 25 range pick added
-rather than another one we don't have a list spot for this year - yes I know 20 would be nice
-pick 47 is not a bad pick
Gets us something rather than the 'I'm taking my bat and ball and going home' so send him to PSD strategy.
(Already suggested - sorry haven't been flowing the thread much- or so sh*te an idea, no one has put it forward?)

For Higgins, Brando, Butler, Chol, sure. I'll never begrudge a young player leaving for a fresh start and more opportunities.A bit more gracious please.

Couldn’t agree more ……. A powerhouse invests in a guy to support, develop and provide an opportunity for team and individual success. As a career begins, he checks out and signs a 4 year contract on big coin with a minnow to begin a life in the land of purgatory. Welcome to the big league CJ, hope your good enough to deliver, because you’ll be in the gun from day 1.For Higgins, Brando, Butler, Chol, sure. I'll never begrudge a young player leaving for a fresh start and more opportunities.
But CCJ's role in kebabgate puts him about 10,000 miles off those players, for me at least. The club supported him and continued to develop him, and he started to make appearances. I don't know. I think it will always leave a bitter taste in my mouth.
Well I believe everything played out pretty much as I said it should.... so I'm declaring myself Nostra-bloody-Damus. I can't be bothered finding my own post but it was along the lines of we should ask for 20 and give something back and when that fails we should ask for their future 2nd. What happened to the PSD Norf, you gutless flogs? I want to hear a bit more about leverage please.... Lol. Enjoy Tassie! End rant/self-congratulation
G'day LG, how are ya bud?
As others have said, he's worth pick 20 at least. All day every day. Whether we get that, let's see. If 20's not involved you can bet your 2022 second rounder will, plus some. I could see it landing on your 2022 2nd plus pick 38.
C'mon fellaaaasssss! I was close!! Bring the love!!!!!!!!
Juke, I'm inclined to agree with you. However, if I may play Devil's advocate, Jack Riewoldt did say that he would have done the same thing if he were in CCJ's position.For Higgins, Brando, Butler, Chol, sure. I'll never begrudge a young player leaving for a fresh start and more opportunities.

Exactly, they have a few windows, when one opens you have to go through it sometimes. He is young, kebabgate is ancient history to a 22 year old.Juke, I'm inclined to agree with you.

This, its like hedging your bet thinking if they dont make it one way they might the other. What usually happens is you get a player who doesnt really deliver in either.Good fair deal in the end, IMO.
Hopefully it's the end of our obsession with drafting ruckmen / 200cm inbetweeners and trying to turn them into key forwards. Vickery, Griffiths, McBean, CCJ, Chol, Ryan...
