But GWS aren’t interested in this years picks, which is why 13 is up for trade, they want future picks for next year, and I’m betting they’d prefer ours on the premise they think Pies will finish higher.

Morons...just desperate for some content to 'journalist' about.OK So my FOMO is in overdive right now but this sums up what I also think:

Took half an article of passive voice to get to the source of the 'criticism' - some rando newscorpse employee. Play on.
Do GCS even want Noble? If so why. Rioli, Powell, Uwland is fine for HBs. Why would they trade for a 28rd old who isn't a top 15 player at a club that hasn't made finals and wasn't in the team that last played finals.

Noble's worth so much he got dropped for their finals campaign and they won the flag without him.
No offense to the guy, who is AFL quality, but at his age, late 2nd is maximum value

They love spending other peoples money.
Interesting looking at the top 10 in our B&F:
5 of the 10 were top 15 picks (Cripps, Walsh, Weiters, Mckay, Curnow)
4 of the 10 were value trades (Newman, Hewett, Acres, Kennedy)
1 of the 10 another draftee (TDK)
None of our high profile trade targets (Gov, Saad, Cerra, Williams) featured.

2024 was a bad year for all our high profile targets including Martin due to injury.
2023 and 2022 were a bit better:
Top 10 - 2023
1 - Jacob Weitering – 210 votes
2 - Nic Newman – 193
3 - Charlie Curnow – 174
4 - Adam Cerra – 167
5 - Patrick Cripps – 158
6 - Blake Acres – 153
7 - Sam Docherty – 152
8 - Adam Saad – 149
9 - Sam Walsh – 143
10 - Mitch McGovern – 108
Top 10 - 2022
1. Patrick Cripps: 181 votes
2. Sam Docherty: 173
3. Sam Walsh: 163
4. Charlie Curnow: 149
5. George Hewett: 125
6. Adam Saad: 124
7. Harry McKay: 123
8. Zac Fisher: 117
9. Matt Kennedy: 111
10. Adam Cerra: 105

Austin et al. aren't going to move an inch in the early days of trade mania....OK So my FOMO is in overdive right now but this sums up what I also think:

They must stand firm on #12 is to be used on a kid.... for now.
Likewise, Port will stand firm on the 2 firsts requirement.
Publicly, at least.
But I'm sure CFC (and Houston if we're really into him) are both on the same page as to how the strategy will play out...
Agree the chest beating and posturing will drag out all week, it’s a farce, trade period is drawn out, 10 days is too long.
The boys are eager for Dan Houston to be added,Sam Walsh’s reaction & comments a few nights ago said it all.

stump up pick 12 and it's irresponsible and 'Blues heading for list cliff edge' is the headline, accompanied by hindsight drafting efforts in three years time.
Think you have laid out the extreme options
Like many other clubs, we want at least 1 pick in the first round this year and use our F1 to facilitate the Houston trade
This could achieve both outcomes
A hefty price: Why the Pies’ pursuit of Houston is risky
Collingwood are ahead of Carlton in the tender for the services of Dan Houston but the deal carries risks for the Magpies.
likely pick 12 and something else, plus a fairly big contract.
So two 'untried kids' (and draft level contracts) from a reportedly deep draft with a lot of player types that we're after, and that pretty much every club else wants to be involved in the top 20-30...
Don't know why all the fuss about access to young talent. The club will have to plenty of options , Camporeale boys in 2024, NGA exciting small Tyson Gresham, Jack Ison defender will be a beauty too and Mingara Clarke all in 2025, best of all Cody Walker 2026 will be an elite footballer.

Might be an idea to look at said kids in the mix before deciding that you've asked a rhetorical question.
All-Australian selection can mean absolutely nothing in some cases, and frankly that's how I feel about Houston's dual effort. Good player, but not worth what's being asked, and not really a difference maker.
If we needed a player like Houston, we can just move Docherty to defence.

I see him as an upgrade/replacement for Newy (turning 32 next year).
Four years+ younger. Bigger unit. More offensively minded.
And a much better, more penetrating kick.

We're about to get Lucas Camporeale to replace Newman, and we've also got Cowan, Cincotta, and likely Monahan back there. We need raw speed in defence, and a key defender.

you don't give a boy a man's job....
Lucas not ready for the NN role...
isn't he an outside mid/winger?

He's been playing off HB most of the year, and I'm referring to a long-term replacement. We don't need an immediate replacement for Newman, who has done well to trim down and keep himself in the selection mix.
If he goes down, we have Boyd, Docherty, Wilson, and potentially Monahan, and that's all without considering that we may be looking at Ollie Hollands to switch to playing as more of a running defender.
Rnd 2 and 3 of the rookie draft, cant say they haven't made a solid fist of it.
