Objection your honour!!

West coast firmly established value for pick 2 last draft and it was pick 8 and 12 (in a draft that had an even top 10).

This year it would probably need pick 3 or 4 to go with Swans pick 11.

Just in isolation, and not looking at the players picked, it was very poor value for pick 2.

We definitely should’ve gotten more. I’m content with how it worked out but we held a lot of leverage in that deal and we still didn’t walk away with a win value wise necessarily.

 

[Obeanie1]

Challenge get him off, then rest him.

We did that before with Schofield Im sure of it.

It depends on the draft really. The evenness of last year's top 10 made it fine for 2002, but you're right that it would be unders for 2023.

Didn't Brisbane trade a pick 2? What did they get?

McCluggage & Berry.

 

[JackOutback]

What's the bet if we took Haynes the afl wouldn't let us smooth his contract like the cats last year

Who cares, the time to take on the cost is the next year or two when our big contracts end and we don’t have many players drawing big salaries.

IIRC WCE had a big group of players with high salaries. From memory most look like going around again - Barrass may be on move, although even that seems to be being wound back.

I’m not sure we have got a great deal of cap space - barring significant increase to TPP.

McGovern’s ends this year, Gaff’s ends next year. If Barrass left, it would really only be Kelly and Allen pulling down the big bucks. The next two to three years are the ones where we have money to burn. Hopefully after that a few of our youngsters will be demanding big bucks.

Yep gaff 900k 1 more year, Kelly 1mil , gov will be on good coin again as I think he took a pay cut in the agreement of getting it back on his new contract . Barrass , Allen, yeo all on 750k+
Sheed is also on good coin the next 2 years

 

[WCErevival]

Darling is probably on a bit too.

[Monsterdarlz]

Short of a god father offer we don’t trade pick one imo I’d be near certain we pick Reid if we have pick one

 

[jesterwester]

I like how in that rumour we also give up a future second. Why not throw in our current second pick whilst we are at it?

All clubs bar freo could just about give us a better deal than that.

I felt it was comprehensively unders. Also we put up #40, Rioli and got back ports 2nd & 3rd

I don't think he's a QC any more.

He’s with the Sunshine Band now

How upset would we be collectively if we take Curtin with pick 1? Because this scenario is getting more and more likely imo.

Curtin looks like a good player and it'd be good to massage the draft to get him with our second pick somehow.
But pick 1?

Reid - a lot of talk about being a mummy's boy but not from him or his manager. I'd be happy to pick him.
Jed Walter - did I hear he was a WC supporter? Regardless worth a very early bid. Either GC match or we get a get a genuine top 3 pick, arguably a worthy pick 1.
McKercher - I'm liking this kid. Good enough to be a pick 1. Interviews well and says is more than happy to go to WC and is a loyal sort who wants to be a one clubber. I'd actually be happy to take him with 1 also.

Horrified.
Too much WA hype is bad (& not just because we got flogged in every game at the champs)

That’s the best trade their collective minds of 6 supporters could come up with?

 

[Bacchus]

I felt it was comprehensively unders. Also we put up #40, Rioli and got back ports 2nd & 3rd

So Rioli was traded for about #56 - that was astute business.

How badly were we cleaned out by that bloke?

Derailed the 2019 finals campaign, cost heaps in support and then pissed it back in our faces.

I’d be completely deflated, I feel like that’s a franchise altering mistake that will be talked about forever.

It’s one thing splitting for Curtin and another top talent but just outright choosing him over Reid at 1 would be hilariously bad.
