Bargain for the Dee's.
Always liked Viv and wish him well.
Hope we use that useless draft pick usefully.

In baseball, we'd say Michie's been traded for a player to be named later. Happy for Viv that he gets an opportunity under Roosy in Melbourne. Makes me think that Morabito is farther along than people think.
Ross/Roos/handshake/goodwill/futurecredits deal.
At least now if we trade our pick 48 or whatever it is for Gumby we've got another pick only 4 places later to use instead of OUR 4th rounder which is like 70 or something.
I'm not sure what people expected. Koby Stevens had most probably shown more in senior games than Michie and didn't have the injury history and was traded for pick 44 last year.
The consensus on the board is that he's going to be a solid player if he gets his body right but he hasn't shown a lot at senior level and that was always going to reduce his value.
Ross is a cracker of a coach and I'm stoked that he at Freo but he does have a my way or the highway'' attitude and I think we are going to lose the occasional player like this. No doubt Viv thought he should have been playing earlier.

We don't deal in hypotheticals.

Michie was:
Pick 54 is absolutely fair.
- Pick 44 in 2010
- Which was a compromised draft (due to GCS plucking 12 players pre draft)
- Had a horrible injury history
- Was behind players younger than him
- Had only played half a game at AFL level.
Pick 54 is absolutely fair.
I don't remember Koby Stevens winning any WAFL club B&F's.
I'd have expected a 3rd round pick upgrade or let him walk to the draft, rather than accept this charity pick.

Yeah, good deal for Melbourne, no doubt about it. But what are we going to do? He wanted better opportunity, wanted Melbourne, we were never going to get much better than that. We've got a bit of an insurance pick that will let us play around with other possible trades.
Can't say I'm thrilled myself, but in the scheme of thongs, it's not too bad.

Guys who win WAFL/VFL/SANFL B&F's get rookie listed, not taken in the 3rd round of the draft. He didn't have currency imo.
Fair and I don't get the whinging. Wish him well at Melbourne, hope he gets some good 25 possession plus games.
This shows we're now real developers of talent with true depth players who are in demand by other clubs. Just be happy he's going to a team that's not in direct contention for a flag. I'll enjoy watching him tear up other teams mids at stoppages (but not us because Mundy, Fyfe, Barlow, Crowley etc will monster him).

He didnt play for Peel though
Yeah we will. Have to trade for Gumby and a pick is at stake (I think our 3rd round pick). it will be used, as we will almost certainly draft three. We always draft three.

Not good. I think Michie will be a pretty good player. Not disastrous, but not good
Can't understand why everyone is so mellow about this, is the Reggae Festival on today?
Pick 54 is a joke, we've let some incredible talent slip through our hands.
