Traded Esava Ratugolea [Traded to Port Adelaide for #25, #76 and #94]

[FlyHigh18]

Yeah it's a bit weird, but not all clubs can get access to free handouts...

neither can they all get a tax payer funded soccer field, yet here we are

 

[bergholt]

Those 2 x late picks will effective be 2 x 3rd rounders + 25. Fair Bounty.

If they have the free spots on their list then they get free picks in that range anyway. There was zero reason to include them in the trade.

'Can't seem to be losing'......ok then...... here have these highly prized picks....

So Mackie held up this trade for f*cking pick 76 and 94…..WTAF

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Bahahahaha all that huffing and puffing for that.

I have a theory that the AFL quietly put a word in Geelong's ear to trade Ratugolea to Port Adelaide no matter what the return was, rather than send him into the PSD.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Cats caved. Fair enough. Decided there wasn't anything they could get and there was no chance of him staying. Disappointing but that's what happens with out of contract players.

Yep, didn’t want to have something like that play out

Geelong fans are so deluded that it's so funny.

 

[mrposhman]

10 days of discussing this pick. Started with Pick 25, Mackie managed to add 76 AND 94. Wow. He's an extraordinary negotiator

 

[Purple Suit]

Pick 25 + Pick 94 = 119!

That's hillarous. Mackie completely ruined the joke by demanded 76 as well.

Well according to most here it started with 37…apparently 25 was overs.

So even without the other picks, isn’t 25 overs based on the thought process in here?

 

[M Malice]

Mackie bought new headgear to celebrate.

 

[Warwick]

What an extremely petty move by Mackie.

 

[My_Username]

Wow.

I thought Geelong were being ridiculous holding out for a week for a junk pick, but was I wrong!

They were holding out TWO junk picks.

That makes all the difference.

Well done Geelong!

 

[FootyLad0]

Geelong fans are so deluded that it's so funny.

Holy shit pot meet kettle. The irony of a Collingwood fan saying this.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Would have been a told PR disaster for the AFL, if Ratugolea walked into the National Draft and another club picked him up..

They have manipulated/engineered trades and player movements in the past.

 

[Tristan34]

We still got 25 so can't complain too much. Rat wont help them win a flag though... He really is a bit of a dud.. LoL

 

[Matrix10]

Mackie =Flog of a person , transcends that in his trading. Go and rot

Lol this is going full nuffy.

 

[boncer34]

Mackie saying 76 is a valuable pick kn TR. Hilarious.

Jesus who hurt you? Lol

 

[tiger_tough]

Real cringey stuff by Mackie.

A true master at work.

 

[fpm84]

Port fans melting that they were trading #25 for a ‘fringe player / spud’ now thinking they’ve won the trade because of some inconsequential junk picks
