Apparently there is a TV programme called Talking W. Where people, even those that refer to themselves as he/him, are televised talking about AFLW without uncontrollably laughing or questioning their own reason for living. I know, I was shocked too.

Doesn’t matter if it’s Carlton or Collingwood, the trade is still pick 13 from GC, and the rest goes for Luko and Richards.
And if we can hide how much we are getting dudded by doing it all in a 3-way trade, even better

Dan hasn't nominated a club YET it can still happen and it's a manager's play if things get bogged down.
C4 drops the "Pies" comment then disappears. Farkin what's the deal.
This is all PR stuff by Dans manager and Port cuckelaide.
He hasn't nominated one club but he has nominated 2. Otherwise every Vic club apart from Richmond would be trying to get him cheap.

Forget fair value, this doesn't even make sense. They're telling Houston is good enough that Carlton would be willing to give up a future first, a future second, and Owies for him. But Port should be willing to accept pick 14 and Owies?
If this was a fair deal (which it isn't), why wouldn't Port just tell everyone else to get ****ed and take those picks and Owies for ourselves? Carlton are giving more to get Houston than we're getting. It makes no sense.
FANTASTIC FOR US YOU CAN'T FAULT CHRIS DAVIES!! MY SON'S KNOW HIS PET HAMSTER!! GREAT GUY!!
I don’t think there is any benefit for the manager to nominate a clubin this scenario, unless it’s a directive from Houston and he only wants to go there, but Houston would have to know he can get to that club (which means core part of the deal agreed upon), or he is also willing to wait 12 months in case it falls through

If you exclude the Soldo/Esava trade from last year.
I’m just going to get my anus ready
GC have offered pick 6 for Rioli but Richmond want more, meanwhile we're haggling for a couple of scraps and some Richards dude that's played farkall.
Yep...we're on track.

What are you thinking of the trade period though?
Horrendous
Let's say you're giving up an F1 for Luko (which most on this forum don't want to do anyway)...
That means pick 13, F2 and Joe Schmoe = Dan Houston
If that was the case why not just give the F1 for Luko and keep Houston
They were hamstrung a bit there by the coach having been into Esava for a couple of years and there being a great whopping hole in our ruck stocks, again due to the coach's whims. I'm willing to give them a mulligan for that.

Our drafting is good. Our trading is wildly overrated.
We're seemingly in the middle of effectively trading contracted dual AA Dan Houston out for less than we collectively paid or are paying for Jack Lukosius, Esava Ratugolea and Ivan Soldo, all three of whom weren't even best 22 locks at their previous clubs. That is absolutely awful list management.

Pies presumably turning an F1, John Noble (who?) and Joe Richards (even Collingwood supporters would say "who?") into a Dual AA player is incredible business.
But when you're dealing with the biggest overpayers in the league combined with the biggest undersellers it's hard not to make out like a bandit.

Yes.
One first rounder in, one first rounder out, so they cancel each other out. That leaves it as trading a contracted dual AA for a second round pick and two fringe players. It is awful.
yeah i think i confused myself we need to get something more back for Luko not an F1 straight swap.. In isolation i don't think 13, F2 and Richards for Richards is as bad as everyone is saying.
And F1 for Luko plus a second rounder back, is it pick 23?
