Let's not forget how we all melted in 2016 when we traded 9, 19 and 49 to Sydney for 14, 17 and 31. HUGE melts here when that went down.

This deal got us SPP and Todd Marshall, our last two first round picks. Despite all the George Costanza memes, I have faith in Geoff Parker and Chris Davies, they haven't really let us down in the last few years
I dont remember their being a huge melt and confusion about this deal.

This deal as a stand alone doesn't make any sense. That's why I said if there is a side deal with another club like Hawthorn had in 2005 with North for Hay and we were indirectly involved then that's ok. 2016 the picks swapped made some sense on face value even if you didnt like them. This one on face value makes no sense to basically give away 3 picks for 1. Freo 2019 Rd3 and this years pick 49 cancel each other out so its really 3 for 1 not 4 for 2.
 
If we've just sold all our picks and the Crows still end up with a pick in front of us then Cripps, Davies, Parker, Parkin and any other campaigner involved in our list management and draft strategy should be sacked on the ******* spot. This is the biggest ******* ****up i've ever seen. Whats the only way to get out of it? Sell Wingard? Yeah, gee, great.

******* idiots the lot of them.

An arms race with the Crows to get 'SA talent' by trading our best SA talent.

Florent, Hayward & Darcy Cameron for Marshal, SPP & Drew.

Right now this might be slightly in our favour but we still hold the riskier of the two hands.
 
If you thought we sold the farm to get pick 6, I reckon the Crows will top it just to get one in front of us. It's an arms race.

I'm actually much more comfortable with the Freo trade, ugly as it is, than I am about the Polec trade which I don't see any justification for yet.
 
**** knows what we're up to.

You guys seem to be going all in to get very early picks at the top of the draft this year, even if it means possibly paying overs along the way.

Would have thought it would be easier (and cheaper) to let Gold Coast/Brisbane draft the SA kids at the top of the draft and keep your focus on getting them back to SA after 2 years or so.
