I would go as far to say extremely happyIf we can get a pick in the low 20s for Witts we should be happy with the deal
or how he is going to hide any players drugged off this nutonly 440 pages with comments of buckleys saving his ass by getting wells. Pretty sure gubby allen wouldn't be sitting there thinking what can I do to save buckley. He will be more worried about how he is going to look in a couple of years building another great team.
Leon was an AA more than motflop will beMotlop is what Leon used to do in finals.
Nothing.
So the reason for Macca being sacked we agree was not football related - therefore the Dogs were right to sack him in your view.
Unless you know that Buckley is similarly the subject of a player revolt, then there is no comparison.
So why are you suggesting Buckley is being "protected"?
I think we have seen over the last few weeks with Haw and tonight with Geel, that holding off on rebuilding has its risks, even when you are blessed with a core of elite players.
So I think Buckley is being vindicated with his foresight to begin the rebuild early, because we did not have the elite depth of either Hawks or Geel.
So I'm very keen to understand why you lament that he is being "protected", because he's been vindicated in starting the rebuild early and therefore that can't be the reason.
He will not be at Sydney next year. Sydney need salary cap space. He has not played this year due to injury and Sydney does not appear to have missed him. The Hawks are interested in him.
I would go as far to say extremely happy
Have to be front ended, pay him $800k 1st year then $400k for remaining 2 years you would think.
**** that, pick 27 isn't good enough for Witts.
Agree, third year should only based on performance KPI's needing to be achieved in year 2.It's the third season that bothers me... don't like the idea of 600k for THREE seasons.
Two, possibly, but three is just too much.
I agree Ramsey is a very clean user and love the way he attacks the ball...He and Maynard could be our two HBF'rs for the next decade.I'm with you Ramsay, fully fit etc, is a best 22 player. At worst he's in he emergencies, but I have him moved up to sit solidly in the 22.
He'll go well with Maynard and co
Read something on another thread which seems an idea thats to good to be true. (If allowed) which gave me the idea of the following.
Trade Witts for Second Rounder which is on-traded to GWS for WHE
Trade Pick 25 and our first round 2017 for GWS picks 16 (GWS picked up off Geelong) and GWS 15 or 17 or 18 (Depending on tomorrows result)
That way we can Draft a Griffin Logue and Patrick Kerr type and count that as 2 First Round picks to make it easier for trading moving forward.
Trade our 3rd and Jack Frost for Sam Reid (SYD)
Then we have the option to trade out 2 of the likes of Cloke/Blair/Oxley/Williams/Nathan Brown and even Broomhead etc for the points required for Daicos and Brown (Both will be late 2nd/Early 3rd Round picks)
Brett Anderson mentioned on SEN yesterday that North Melbourne due to the contract offer from Collingwood to Wells that the compensation is high enough for them not to want Nathan Brown as a free agent. They may look to make a trade to not effect the compensation in any way. This will then give us compensation for Brown we otherwise wouldn't have got.
Paying a higher wage now may help us gain some picks.
If he keeps going the way he is they'll be lucky to get a second. Can't imagine anyone would be happy to pay him big $$$ as it is.did I just read 1st rounder?
We'll try for one of their earlier ones, but 27 would still be reasonably fair.**** that, pick 27 isn't good enough for Witts.
I disagree. Here is a list of players who went at pick 27...
2015: Darcy Tucker
2014: Lucas Webb
2013: Sean Lemmens
2012: James Stewart
2011: Sam Kerridge
2010: Kieran Harper
2009: Callum Bartlett
2008: Sam Wright
2007: Andy Otten
2006: Brad Howard
2005: Dylan Addison
2004: Patrick Garner
2003: Adam Campbell
2002: Darren Walsh
2001: Tom Davidson
2000: Ted Richards.
I'm not sure what sort of talet Webb is, or how Lemmens is tracking, but Witts projects better than all other pick 27's and by some margin with the exception of Richards who was ironically traded for a fire sale, he'll be playing in a grand final next week btw with Alir going down.
Maybe it's smokes and mirrors. They don't want to offer pick 23 as they want to stand firm and keep the O'Meara trade seperate, cause if they landed Jong, Sicily and Cloke, it's quite conveivable and fair that Cloke and Jog being part of the deal tunrs pick 23 to pick 14 to Collingwood.
FWIW, I think Witts will be a bargain for either pick 23 or pick 27.
It could well be, it's not even confirmed yet I guessAgree, third year should only based on performance KPI's needing to be achieved in year 2.
Article in the age saying we'd want a low 20's pick but GC will likely offer 27.Wasn't the discussion about a pick in the low 22's? Pick 27 isn't low 20's.
