Traded Jordan Dawson traded to Adelaide for F1 (Melb)

[Joey JoJo Jr Shabadoo]

Only bright side out of this deal for the Swans is just further re-enforcing the need for academies in non-traditional states.

Finlayson, M.Kennedy, Setterfield and Zac Williams were all GWS academy players who requested trades interstate. The academy system isn’t a solution to player retention issues.

You were in a race with a cripple and now you are gloating that you won that race.

I’ll leave you here to fight it out with whoever you like. I’m off to enjoy our new shiny toy.

At least you guys get to death ride Melbourne next year. A few key injuries and a tougher draw and you could be looking at pick 12 anyway. Add that to yours which should be around the same and you won’t even care next year on draft night.

Piss off. Spend the entire week and a half talking about how Dawson is not worth much and now you are acting like this.

Now you can send melbourne's first to us for Ladhams.

Just to make a shite trade period even worse?

 

[Warhorse]

Actually a fair trade in the end considering the leverage Adelaide had in the draft. Could have easily walked him into the draft and the swans were asking a ridiculous price for someone who has yet to gain an AA or B&F

 

[Drewie11]

Adelaide are caving.

it’s delicious. Will be a first and a second.

So is Dawson & pick 4.
You'll cough that up to split it.

You are right…. We will split 4 NOW

 

[RUNVS]

You are right…. We will split 4 NOW

I wonder if we go back if we would discover some of your predictions for the 2017 Grand Final.

Not only is a trade between clubs for a player (Dawson vs a 1st Rd draft pick) but also a trade between clubs' BF supporters (Dawson is a star vs Dawson is a hack).

Almost every single time.

Sure, knock yourself out if you have the time. whatever that has to do with this

Almost every single time.

Except Adelaide supporters have gone from "he is a hack" to "he is a star" in the space of a few hours.

 

[JimmyBC]

Being the first guy in umpteen years to choose them over Port got the juices flowing, I doubt they knew who he was a few weeks ago.

 

[Bega Barlow]

If the 2018 version is so bad why are Swans fans so upset?

we’re trolling you because we’re upset duh

deal was unders

full stop

A Crows-Port shitfight was the one thing this thread was missing.

Could also look at 2016 pre grand final posts were Swans supporters were pretty confident

Nah it's a good get, talented player.

 

[Northernsoul74]

This deal is better. The 17 deal involved us sending picks their way! That was beyond dumb!

No it wasn’t, that was the first offer that was then revised to be in Swans favour. This has been explained over and over.

 

[Bega Barlow]

A real man takes the loss on the chin and owns it.

And I could end up sleeping with a supermodel. About equal odds I recon.

If they turn out to be a flop we'd say "wish we too that opp send a message". If your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle.

Can we stop with the sexist/ chauvinistic bravado? It’s unbecoming and v 1950’s.

 

[Thetrader15]

If only one side is saying it is "even" then it is clearly not even.

Wait til you see the Ladhams trade...

 

[RUNVS]

Yes but I am not the one looking through older posts and laughing at other people's predictions.

 

[Gtowncrow]

If only one side is saying it is "even" then it is clearly not even.

It's true that some think that Adelaide have paid overs considering their PSD position, but anyone astute agrees this is a fair outcome.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Haha we were splitting 4 weren’t we? This hasn’t ended well for you

Or Dawson was going to re-sign for 2 years.

 

[George Kramer]

The bullshit were those posts.There is no way any Swan supporter realistically had him better than a puck 28 to 34 in amongst our group of players. A clever trade by the club recruiters.

So are you saying you were just trolling on the draft board?

 

[catman2006]

So what is it pick 17/18 next year for Dawson

 

[RUNVS]

It's true that some think that Adelaide have paid overs considering their PSD position, but anyone astute agrees this is a fair outcome.

So Cerra is worth pick 6 and more but Dawson is only worth pick 18?

What about Saad last year getting pick 8?

only reason Sydney could not get those sort of picks for Dawson is the PSD. With the PSD we had no leverage at all.
