[Jeremias]

For anyone who missed the prior warning:

Take the Carlton v Collingwood shit fight elsewhere.

Infractions will be handed out.

Pick 9 isn't enough??

For a 2x AA no.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Nahh balances out JHF steal

JHF deal was Karma for the way your club acted during the Ben Jacobs trade

Ben Jacobs trade was just payback for Daniel Motlop

Pick 28 and Pick 46 was more than enough for that spud

 

[Papa G]

Pick 28 and Pick 46 was more than enough for that spud

Mate Daniel Motlop was not a spud. Very talented footballer.

Mate Daniel Motlop was not a spud. Very talented footballer.

Never rated any of the Motlops, too inconsistent, never really stood up when it matters. Flashy when it suited him.

 

[Chip Scab1]

We can all agree essendon won that trade with a leg in the air

Essendon always win Trade Week! You must know that by now...

Pick 28 and Pick 46 was more than enough for that spud

You're one of few who gets it! Kudos and well done!

Given the trading history between us, and the fact your player has chosen Victoria, no us... I'd be shocked if we offered more than 22 or F2. We don't need another slightly better Polec.

Motlop was a far better footballer than Ben Jacobs. We just got our noses out of joint because we totally ****ed up picking Ben Jacobs in the first round and North refused to give us anything for him which was just about what he was worth.

Nah you will give us pick 2, I’m ready for another JHF like trade. No way in hell you guys would let a senior player like Houston (finally getting the big fish) not get to your club. You (even more so than Carlton) would be desperate to get Dan and will pay through the roof to get him

This thread needs to be locked until Monday, it's becoming the Battle of the Bulge in here

lol i know. Well aware.

I'd prefer a blanket ban of not trading with you blokes - We are your only donkey!

Dodo is gone we are never winning it again

Thankfully......

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Essendon screwing up draft picks not withstanding we traded away youth for an established player to win a flag that player is now on the decline without us winning one

That was a diabolically bad draft after being shut down all year with COVID. Smart choice was trading out for established talent that year.

This year however, picks will be a premium given the strength and depth of the draft.

 

[danster168]

No, no it won't.

We barely got a top 5 pick after being destroyed by injuries and losing Brayshaw right before the season.

Your analysis of things are god-awful.

we will be trash next year. We didn't get destroyed by injuries what are you talking about? Petracca was playing when we lost by 90 points to freo.

We've got no Brayshaw this season either.

Petracca is disgruntled and will be a distraction all season long. Oliver will be Oliver and be a distraction all season long. We've lost Neal-Bullen and haven't replaced him with anyone. We haven't got a replacement ruck in case Gawn goes down. Don't give me this Tom Campbell nonsense.

We've got no key forward to help Van Rooyen and our oldest players are going to be a year older so guys like Gawn, Viney, May, McDonald are getting slower, not quicker. Petty isn't the answer in the fwd line.

We've still got Billings on the list whose attack on the ball is a major culture killer in every game he plays, let alone every training session he attends over pre-season.

It really scares me that Tim Lamb thinks the way that you do because he's going to kiss away our future because he has no idea where our list is at. It's bottom 4 for many years if we don't hit the draft hard asap.

 

[mrposhman]

Saad 86 games and AA vs Zac Reid 9 games and you say Essendon won that trade with a leg in the air ? We also got Jack Caroll as part of the trade who by himself has achieved more than Reid.

Maybe I should post this in the Rioli thread. So many people over rate draft picks as if they are some guarantee to future success.

I do not endorse this comment, Mots was far from a spud.

 

[bradfisher14]

For a 2x AA no.

2x AA under contract*

 

[Bevoman]

Future firsts aren’t worth that much to clubs when the player is contracted. They could keep his elite ability for another year and then trade him for that same pick.

Next season you are allowed to trade picks for two years out

Brayshaw retired at the end of preseason with very little opportunity to replace his role.

Petracca missed half the season.

May missed a month.

Lever missed about a month a half.

Gawn missed two crucial games at the end of the season that had finals implications.

Oliver had no preseason to go with his off-field issues as well as playing catch-up with conditioning during the season.

Windsor missed the last month.

Salem missed a chunk.

We don't need a full rebuild at all, we do need to address issues and retool but it's not as dim as you keep trying to paint it out to be.

We don't even know what the list will look like after the trade period but by all means keep doing your lunatic danster routine in the meantime.

I'm not saying it's anyone's fault regarding Brayshaw, I'm just saying we still haven't replaced him. So that hole still exists.

Petracca missed half the season but he still played in all of our worst games. He played in the embarrassing loss to West Coast and in the 90 point thrashing from Freo. So there's no excuses.

May was playing when we lost wce and freo too. in fact he was getting rag dolled by Waterman in an embarrassing display.

Gawn missed only 2 games. What on earth are you talking about. Only missing 2 is great. He was also playing during all of our poor form. And he will likely miss games next year.

Salem is always injured and quite frankly is a shadow of himself.

The season was cooked by Round 10 so any injuries after that are irrelevant. You simply don't get thrashed by WCE, a bottom 2 team. Hell we basically lost to North Melbourne in Round 15.

We've got some good youngsters, so it's not all doom and gloom. But if we're targeting players it needs to be players in the 20-24 age group. Certainly not 27/28 like Houston.

Pick 2 for Houston seems fair. Maybe Port sending back a future 2nd.

You would hope pick 2 ends up being a multiple AA in the future. Houston pretty much guarantees it.

North will get 3-4 elite years out of him. Maybe another 2-3 more serviceable years before he pulls the plug at which point the kids should be taking over.

Clarkson needs a general in the backline. Here he is.

Only 3-4 elite years for a team not in premiership contention for pick 2, what are you smoking? North will split pick 2 for 2 1st rounders and give around pick 10 for him which is fair value.
