Bluemour Melting Pot XXI - Like seriously, the polar ice caps have got nothing on us

[tattooedJESUS]

Now imagine jack Martin signs with gc. What a laughing stock we will be.... again

 

[F_therest]

I reckon that is fair. We look silly ...

They wanted out 2020 2nd rounder on top of that, which is outrageous.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Some people need to.

[BrisbaneCFC]

Or will we trade it off?

Can it be traded for 2020 picks with live trading?

 

[The Flying Doormat]

Some people. Seriously, get a grip.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I’ve read enough of this shit. The melts are delicious but they reflect on the poster more than the outcome of today.

In what universe is Martin worthy of a first rounder? Gold Coast just lost a player who was worth a second round pick for nothing. Absolutely incomprehensible that it would do that.

As for Papley. The Swans were never trading for Papley as a seperate deal. We would have offered #9 but the Swans didn’t need it if * wouldn’t accept two first rounders for Daniher. For * to knock back that deal is as incomprehensible as the Martin outcome.

I’m happy with our list.

It’s not the end of the world.

Can't believe the melts on here. Can't keep up with this topic.
Would have loved to end up with Papley, but good on SOS for holding firm. If Sydney weren't willing to hand him over for pick 9 because Dodo was being a dodo, then we move on.

As for Martin - fingers crossed for the PSD. GC are obviously taking a stand, and unwilling to let him go for what he's worth. Would rather we hold firm on a 2nd round pick (and potentially pick him up for free) than hand over pick 9.

A disappointing trade period because we didn't hand get our targets, but I'm happy we held firm.

Equal risk that the Suns redrafting Martin creates a headache for the AFL in dealing with the AFLPA.

GCS won't redraft him against his will.

Instant Rule 22 Application for Release filed by Martin's manager and AFLPA the minute after that happens, if it happens.

we’re having a laugh if we think this guy should be at the club let alone the answer to our needs

 

[Franc de Borges]

Silvagni’s bosses are surely questioning why he put all his eggs in a basket that totally relied on another pretty unlikely trade.

Martin should have been priority number one from then on and only step back in regarding Papley if Daniher was traded.

He stuffed up - and I say this having always hated Tom Papley.

 

[cfc4life]

No plan B. Not even a plan A-

Every other club involved in the trade period out performed us.

The mental gymnastics by some trying to turn this into a positive is insane.

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

Reports have said GC will redraft Martin so not show how he'll slip to us.

And he’ll retire for a season and they can gagf

 

[FRUMPY]

Martin for free not a bad outcome. Assuming it happens.

But those saying 9 was too much for papley off the mark.

We now going to use 9 on a bloke we hope turns into a papley type, with no guarantees

FMD......papley wasn't available

How do you know this as fact...you have contact with Papley....stop assuming that what the media writes is fact.

Haha mate - not saying anything as fact...calm the farm...

 

[WalshYouLegend]

Wonder if we trade split our pick 9 for later first rounder plus second rounder or just get the best player with # 9?

 

[HBF]

Future dealings with Gold Coast and Sydney will be fractured now i would think

Swans should be ok. Not sure about GCS though.

 

[rog1995]

My issue is that they realised early Papley will be too hard, so why not target someone else?

Why not look at Bonar? Why not target Butler as another option?

We have to question the stratergy. The plan was going to draft for 3 years and then go down the trade path. Miss out on Coniglio, went hard for a player with 4 year contract and took a real risk at picking up Martin.

We downgraded our backup ruckman.

I don't call this an overreaction... whether it's the startergy, the players we targetted or not having any backups, we failed miserable this trade period

Exactly. I cannot understand if getting Papely was hinged on Daniher getting to Sydney surely SOS would know what Dodo is like and look at contingency plans.

 

[Iamcarlton]

Mate, Sydney didn't want to trade a contracted player. Not our fault.

Don't go after a player if we can't get the deal done is my advice plenty of other targets available id imagine .

 

[F_therest]

Best offer for Daniher was 9 and a Future First according to the *'s list manager (He who shall not be named)

Those 2 x 1st rounders with nothing going back with Daniher is a bloody good offer.

The likes of Treloar & Shiel went for 2 x 1sts but a 2nd rounder went back with them...

 

[BrownDog20]

Pick 9 and change to Melbourne for 3 draft martin at 3 in nd

You seriously think Martin is worth pick 3?

 

[gunslingr]

Think unlike others his main aim is to get back to Victoria...will peg his flag to another ship next year I reckon...most likely to get him over the line.

There is little doubt that Carlton would have indicated to him they could get the deal done, and haven't. Whether it is our fault or not won't change the result I don't think...

I’d say there are huge doubts that SOS would ever have said he could just get the deal done when he knew from the get-go so much was reliant on Essendon

 

[Sam The Doc]

They wanted out 2020 2nd rounder on top of that, which is outrageous.

You sure ? I read it was just the 9

 

[Blueboys7]

Sydney never included 5...wtf are they smoking?

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Hardly a disaster, kept all our players, have all our picks.

At the same time, had an opportunity to accelerate our progress by adding quality players.

Feeling pretty flat but it will soon pass.

 

[FRUMPY]

in what world is pick 9 too much for Papley?

In what world was Sydney trading him without getting daniher?
