You know something or are you guessing?Nah, Houston is landing soon.
Yea they now have nothing else they can offer apart from Pick 12 or 14 straight swap for Houston. Our offer would be 13 plus Richards and Port are already baulking at that.Not sure if posted but Twomey said on gettable the pick swap trade Carlton did basically rules them out of getting Houston
He's omnipresent and knows allYou know something or are you guessing?
It's not just that Port wants Lukosius, but that Gold Coast desperately wants Lukosius' salary off their books, so they really want that deal to happen. With contracts like the one they just gave to Mac Andrew getting given out, they can't afford to be paying a guy not in Hardwick's plans north of $1.25m a year.As you said, the key difference in all this cluster is:
- Port wants Lukosius
Pretty obvious to me. We will bend if we have no other option.You know something or are you guessing?
Yea it would be false. If they wanted to move their F1 into this year they would target one of the 5 first rounders Richmond are about to get and would jump at a chance at North's F1 next year.Why would North put a top 4 pick on the table for 13? Seems a bit odd.
I think it'll go in to the pot, but it'll be a 3 way trade. GC won't want to do Lukosius as a stand alone deal. They want him off their books. And a 3 way deal best enables them to all walk away happy.Seems pretty simple to chuck in the Hawks pick though right? Blues got 14 for F1 + F2.
I know you really want us to hit the draft Jen, but I really think you are underestimating how good Houston is. Whatever pick 13 ends up being is not going to be thing that puts us in flag contention next year, no matter how solid the draft is.Sounds like we are prepared to walk away, because we aren't prepared to sell the farm for one player over the future of the club
there’s a bidding war for 13. Syd have offered 19 and 21, Carlton traded a future first and second for 14. Our future first is not enough for 13. It’s a sellers market for Gold CoastHow is it not?
Even if we won the flag it's Pick 18 as a starting point in a draft they want more high picks in
What rumours?Rumours the dogs might blow us out of the water for pick 13 now. As well as the Swans bid
If the Suns just take the best offer for 13 I think we are done and dusted.
Nobody is underestimating how good he is.I know you really want us to hit the draft Jen, but I really think you are underestimating how good Houston is. Whatever pick 13 ends up being is not going to be thing that puts us in flag contention next year, no matter how solid the draft is.
No, we don't need to beat every offer for the pick.Just fyi, we’ve got Melbournes F1 and Norths F1 on the table for 13, so Collingwood needs to beat those offers really.
13 for Noble + F1 wouldn’t really even beat 13 for Norths F1 but we’d do it to get Noble sorted.
He wants a pick in this years draft but houston too, but its a balancing act. We'll see what happens and if we can manage both.I know you really want us to hit the draft Jen, but I really think you are underestimating how good Houston is. Whatever pick 13 ends up being is not going to be thing that puts us in flag contention next year, no matter how solid the draft is.I'm just going by what Leppa is indicating.
I think they want him, but unfortunately for us, not for what we want for him.Do you want Noble or not numb nuts?
If we assume nobody is underestimating how good he is, they're certainly overestimating the strength of the draft and how much it will contribute to winning the flag next year.Nobody is underestimating how good he is.
It’s just balancing the needs of now and the future which what I love about the language Leppa is using and how he’s approaching this.
Don’t have to put Trade Papers in yet as long as they get in before Trade Period ClosesWhat a terrifying 3 minute ordeal that was, I was thinking about suggesting we sack Leppa
Yep of course they do. Just playing possum.Do you want Noble or not numb nuts?
Most clubs are very smart in managing their cap situation, Carlton no doubt will have to modify few contracts but I am pretty certain they will be able to find a way fit Houston in their cap.
Its not happening so daddy will be disappointed.It's all falling into place for us to get Owies for nothing. Come to papa
Obviously managing both is ideal, but Houston should be the obvious priorityHe wants a pick in this years draft but houston too, but its a balancing act. We'll see what happens and if we can manage both.
