Upgrade from 39 to 36 and 58 to 50.

GC: Future 1st for Lukosius and Atkins (salary dump)

That's essentially the trade on Port's end. Truthfully, still looks miles better than the WC trade.

 

[you pick one]

In the PSD - yes

In the ND - no

Kurt Tippett 2011 is the best equivalent forced to the PSD and got through to the Swans the club he nominated in the first place after putting a huge price on himself. I reckon that an the unwritten rule among clubs to respect players wishes to get to the club of their choice in these circumstances carries little risk.Had he been talking with other clubs had medicales excetra I'd agreed with you.

 

[Cataholic]

It ****ing baffles me how he has managed to go from job to job when he has clearly sucked at it

Politics is full of such 'lucky' people.

 

[iameviljez]

If we walk him to the preseason draft?

Then literally any of the clubs before us would grab him with both hands. We don't pay stupid money in contracts.

 

[iameviljez]

I don't think the PSD would have been a real threat from Richmond. They wouldn't take a player in the draft that their administration indirectly shit talked for leaving at the bnf.

To stop another club from giving us **** all instead of a first rounder? I'd do it.

 

[tielgaz]

I gather posters are suggesting we go with the PSD.

Trillion to one chance, I would have thought.

The longer this trade period gos… and mackie does nothing but sits on his hands... …the smarter he is looking

Not sure about that he could have been targeting other players or improving/ swapping picks rather that just the aSmith deal surely!

 

[CatToTheFuture]

To stop another club from giving us **** all instead of a first rounder? I'd do it.

You then have to bring back a player that asked to leave and have him play for a coach that hasn't established himself. If I was yze i would veto that. They'd also walk away from a 2nd rounder.

The bluff only works if you can make the other party believe you'd do it and there's nothing Richmond could say that would make me believe they'd take him.

If you're in a position you like, don't move position

 

[Gunf]

Being the most boring trade period ever it seems list managers decided to play a game to see who could **** up the most.


Meanwhile MackAttack sitting on his hand watching the stupidity

 

[iameviljez]

When did Oliver make a public statement making it clear?

Doesn't matter. It's clear Oliver wants to go, but he really has very little say in that.

 

[Hamingja]

, SOS always going to try to get back players he's previously drafted

I've watched Kemp a bit because people on here wanted to take him draft night instead of Cooper Stephens and I think he is at the same level as Cooper ie not AFL standard. Probably would have been a better player to push out than Owies all things considered.

No club would take him if he didnt want to go. Because one day, they might be in that same position. Prisoners Dilemma. All the negotiators know this and are too mature to burn bridges.

They might consider it if they have met with him and he was ok with their club. To this regard - all he has to do is refuse meetings with the clubs.

As a quiet, very shy + modest member of our board, you would all recognise just how much attention makes me blush + that I shun the limelight.

Accordingly, in my polite, bashful way, may I please say. . .

FFS!!!

Just get the SMITH TRADE done TODAY!!!

It’s my birthday!

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

Yeah, radio silence on his end could be a little jab at the MFC. If he comes out and says he's staying MFC will try save face and pretend it's all good and everyone is happy.

So Port held out for Pick 50.
Criticised us last year for holding out for late picks.

 

[iameviljez]

I kind of disagree with that. Carlton has nailed a pretty damn good list.

Can’t blame them for learning from the best

He is a much better player than Stephens, come on now

WCE last three years have been generation wasting. Fremantle 01 bad.

Apparently pick 50 was already in the deal they pulled out of last night. They were lured back in with… nothing. lol

 

[cats_09]

Now I'm not sure what's worse

• being looked lured back in by pick 50, or
• nothing changing and deciding it's probably as good as it's going to get

 

[Interdimensional Bigfoot]

So close
