Wonder if we will do any last minute sneaky trades again this year.

 

[Evo47]

Big win for the Pies, although the real damage to GWS is how much they're reportedly paying Shaw.

Imagine having your workplace moving you on for playing up and getting a ridiculous pay rise.

We can all dream!

 

[larrikin]

Yes.

I can get you may argue that LeCras is a better player than Thomas, albeit I disagree (marginally).

However you seem to imply they aren't in the same league, I find that ridiculous.

When was the last "sneaky" trade we did?
And don't say Morton, because nobody cared.

It's not ridiculous.
Daisy spent most of 2013 in the VFL, hence LeCras and he aren't in the same league.

Ha! You aren't ignoring me. I still love you man.
Anyway.. by sneaky I meant unheard of and pointless. So Morton.

What's this crap I hear about giving up 28 for Yeo?

Haven't heard that one.
Do we even have pick 28?

After Craig Vozzo trade's pick 31 to Carlton for Bootsma and fails to sign Yeo:

Steve Bandy: [Voicing-over an aerial shot of the Vozzo home, during a news broadcast] This is hour 57 of our live, round-the-clock coverage outside the Vozzo estate. Remember, by the way, to tune in at eight o'clock for highlights of today's vigil, including when the garbage man came, and when Mrs Vozzo put the cat out... possibly because it was traded, we don't know.

Of course, there's no way to see into the Vozzo home without some kind of infrared heat-sensitive camera. So let's turn it on!
[Shot suddenly changes to an xray-like image of the house, with two distinct orange heat sources. One is the entire Vozzo family, including Craig, sitting on the couch, the other is a turkey-shaped silhouette rotating in the oven]

Now, this technology is new to me, but I'm pretty sure that's Craig Vozzo in the oven, rotating slowly.
[Camera zooms in for a clear shot of the turkey]
His body temperature has risen to over 400 degrees - he's literally stewing in his own juices.

[Rounding out a news story on Vozzo's crazy trade scandal] Now, here are some results from our phone-in poll: 95% of people believe Craig Vozzo is guilty. Of course, this is just a television poll which is not legally binding. Unless proposition 304 passes, and we all pray it will.

Is it true the 16 other clubs have done their 2015 trades and Brizzy and Eagles are still fighting over Yeo

 

[Apollo2011]

Been suggested on afl.com past few days.

We traded 6 because the club thinks they can get their man at 11, also to get a second rounder for Yeo cos 44 wasn't enough. Risky, but it happened so whatever.

Now we might give up 28 anyway? Why give up 6 in the first place.

We shouldn't be bending to Brisbane's will. Yeo is good, but he isn't worth all this crap.

Because we now have another second round pick!

Vozzo scandal update: Craig sleeps nude in an oxygen tent which he believes gives him negotiating powers.

 

[Apollo2011]

Admittedly the difference between 28 and 31 is minimal, but it's the principle of the thing.

We don't even *have* to appease Brisbane.

 

[lewigie]

Because we now have another second round pick!

Surely we could've gotten more for pick 6 if we basically put it out to the highest bidder?

 

[the harry]

A 4 pick down grade in the first round and a 5 pick down grade of a pick we wont use for a second round pick?

Who could we have traded with to do better? Lions? No, we are currently trying to deal with them with the pick anyway. Norf? No, their pick is already FS. Melbourne? They'll get Freeman at 9 anyway.

Any other suggestions?

Must be time to crack out the petrik denjerfeld pls account and see what he has been saying?

You have got me following a fewof those pls accounts because of your earlier posts

They come out with some random shit that's for sure. Merk Robernsen is quite amusing because it's about Robbo.

 

[reimersworstguy]

since when did we care so much about the principle of trade deals? if we net the same players at 11 and 31 that we would have at 6 and 28, plus get yeo, it can only be positive.

it's better than being pricks like essendon and never getting deals done.

when yeo's proving his worth over the coming years, the principle of these trades will be forgotten.

 

[reimersworstguy]

also, the argument about the other trading party being Collingwood and blah blah etc etc is so boring.

carrying on about hating Collingwood is more bogan than being a Collingwood supporter itself. They're just one of 17 other teams we hate equally as much.
