We did pay overs thanks to Dodoro...Come on, don't be that hindsight guy with specific parameters to make a case.
1. It was Pick 8 at the time we traded.
2. We didn't know, and still don't, how many of those players will turn out. They are 22 yeah?
3. Max Holmes was taken at #20, Shannon Neale at #33, Beau McCreery at #44. Errol Gulden, while an academy selection, wasn't bid on until #32. That's why we don't use hindsight drafting to evaluate the worth of a trade.
4. Saad's AA season of 2022, was by far his best season in his career. I'm not sure if he was even in an AA squad until he joined us. Again, it's a hindsight call and not at all reflective of the trade at the time.
5. Saad was nominated for the rising star at Gold Coast, and Gold Coast only got a 2nd rounder from Essendon for him. After 3 seasons, Essendon converted that into Pick 8. We paid a premium based on our need for backline pace, no doubt about it.
Mistakes have been made. Height is not relevant, he plays the role.I agree with a lot of the points behind this... But this just comes across as one giant melt at Voss and Austin.
Moir also is not a small forward, he's 190cm tall.
Of a medium forward, which is what he is?Mistakes have been made. Height is not relevant, he plays the role.
To a degree. I think we have the scope to āstressā the cap, should Houston come at the right price. I donāt think high profile trades were āthe planā leading in to this period.When a team is in their premiership window.
We are focusing ion the draft is code for, our cap is maxed out.
Only signing established players will convince me otherwise.
100% with saad told everyone we wanted him and Essendon got wind we were going to try and split pick 8 if I recall correctlyWe did pay overs thanks to Dodoro...
But this is what happens when we tell the whole world who we want before the trade week starts..
But Saad has been a welcome addition..
I think we got smarter with the Cerra trade and didn't let on so much...I may be remembering this wrong...
I'm sure I will be shot down and corrected anyway...

Edmund reporting we are into membrey stillā¦FA. Worth a one year contact, always kills us
Cannot see it. We wonāt have list spots to accommodate him.Edmund reporting we are into membrey stillā¦FA. Worth a one year contact, always kills us
top 8 in any team.Walsh had no preseason for the second year in a row, and copped a knock to his hip that clearly hampered him in the last 6 weeks or so. Charlie was constantly having to manage an ankle niggle from round 2 onwards. Cerra hurt most of the year too, TDK hurt from the second North game onwards. All those guys are top 8 players in our team when fully fit
Not intending to offend any of the ITKs but I think this salary dump stuff is a crock of shite. I guess time will tell.
Or maybe Charlie and Harry would get in way of Membrey. Membrey is a solid reliable forward.āMembryā - the answer to the quiz question āwho can we bring in for Owies who is worse at ground level, apply less pressure than & get in Charlie & Hās wayā.
He should be offered a VFL contract & picked up mid season if something goes horribly wrong - he can be Crocker 2.0 in the 2s.
Going way in the wrong direction to give him a list spot, would much rather a speculative mid.
Yeah I am keen. Even if he doesn't get picked regularly, he's handy, takes a good mark and a accurate shot on goal.Or maybe Charlie and Harry would get in way of Membrey. Membrey is a solid reliable forward.
nope.Yes we overpaid and maybe we had to; maybe austin was weak. But it hurts us now. Pick 8 for 3-5 years footy is a lot.
It's why we look fools when talking to Port Adelaide about Houston right now. Roughly same age but Houston is a bonafide all Australian under contract while Saad wasn't. I'd agree Saad was close but in the actual deal itself, and out in the media, it is points against.
Port is looking at pick 13 and saying take a run and jump because of the Saad deal. Austin has nothing to fight back with and it is of his own making.
Austin not fighting hard enough vs the Dodo bird costs us now. Austin cant now say its not about All australian it is about years of footy left. A ten year draftee vs 3-4 years of service. He cant say that because he already bent over for Saad.
Hard to find a spot in the 22 for JSOS if Membrey comes in...Yeah I am keen. Even if he doesn't get picked regularly, he's handy, takes a good mark and a accurate shot on goal.
Yeah- No, we have 2 game changing Coleman medal winning forwards, they take priority over Membry.Or maybe Charlie and Harry would get in way of Membrey. Membrey is a solid reliable forward.
Membrey is betterHard to find a spot in the 22 for JSOS if Membrey comes in...
People really have forgotten that JSOS was finally killing it before he got injured, with TDK taking a massive leap forward, JSOS/H as the back up make us a lot more dangerous.Hard to find a spot in the 22 for JSOS if Membrey comes in...
as a forward? many times over....Membrey is better
Our interest in MembreyWhat was the tweet mate?
