[It Just Is]

Their concern was a bid for Isaac Kako coming in before their pick 9, so they shifted the first round to next year and picked up a heap of later round points.

It makes sense from that perspective but when I look at Essendon’s list I don’t think 1x teenage small forward is going to finally win them a final.

Zach Merrett is 29, pushing back a first round pick isn’t going to help him.

Although now they're going to be getting Isaac Kako + an extra top 10 (potentially) pick next year. Instead of just Kako.

Also now there's unlikely to be a top 10 bid on Kako.

And with live on the night drafting they can potentially use Melbourne and their own future firsts to trade back into this year ahead of a bid on Kako.

As much as I love trade period, they may as well reduce it back to a week, because 2 weeks is a waste of everyone's times. nothing happens until the final 3 days any way.

It's now a revenue generation stream for the AFL. It's not going to be scaled back.

the problem is there is absolutely nothing for them to talk about, so there is little to no interest in listening anymore

And yet people are talking about it all day. They have sponsors, viewers/listeners - it doesn't matter that it's 99% bullshit in the first week, people are tuning in.

It has nothing to do with the time needed to get deals done.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Pick 13 is the new Harley Reid. They've talked about this pick for 10 days.

 

[Powerade 08]

I can’t believe he slid to pick 13

 

[Gryllis]

I'm looking forward to someone getting pick 13 so we can stop talking about it and Collingwood can stop offering a pick they don't even have, just assuming they're entitled to it.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Pick 46 should go into the PSD if not traded.

Without Rat and Soldo, we don’t finish 2nd on the ladder. Rat was massive on Hawkins when we beat Geelong, and also provided the only target up forward for the back half of the year.

Soldo in the few games he played helped us win, which Dante at that stage wouldn’t have had a big impact.

You have to look at last years trade period as a whole. Sweet was massive, but he could have been a massive flop too.

There is every chance without those two guys that we don’t make finals. This just shows how important depth is.

At the other end of the scale, depth doesn’t win you the grand final, and you need elite players. Losing Dan Houston is massive.

Such a good post. Well said Chow.

As for the last paragraph, I’d suggest having good depth played a significant role in Brisbane winning the premiership.

People throwing names around like Goldstein being an alternative to Soldo (he wanted to play under Scott) simply have no concept of what is involved in recruiting players to a club, particularly when they are not from SA. In hindsight the trading for Soldo demonstrate first hand the perils of taking this route.

Final 3 hours more like it.

Ironically calling somebody a smug bellend is almost the very definition of smug.

Your attempted Keatingisms aren't funny and don't impress anyone. Repeatedly calling fellow posters in a footy discussion forum cucks, dickheads and bellends etc is really the act of a vainglorious nincompoop.

You have an opinion to post and often I think they worthwhile. Others have the same right and a reasonable expectation not to be called patronizing names for disagreeing or questionably using 'gaslit'. GTFU.

When you say you, you’re not talking about me as you

 

[rumoursofwinter]

I'm hoping no one gets traded until wacky Wednesday night and then afl house has a power outage!?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Meanwhile in a simpler world ...

Sal dump for GC?

 

[gbear]

Sal dump for GC?

He adds no value to us whatsoever.

 

[jackag24]

So.. who do we take at 13, 29 ?

Or do we try and on-trade for better picks?

It does not matter about bids/academy prospects/FS etc

Pick 13 will be used on the 13th best available player in the draft

 

[Brian McGee]

Which will be the 15th best kid.

 

[jackag24]

Which will be the 15th best kid.

Including Father Son and Academy prospects.. Yes, whom we don't have access to anyway

 

[PortVic]

Which will be the 15th best kid.

But we were never going to get access to Ashcroft or Kako eg. So there bids pushing our number pick back means nothing
