Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11

The Carlton/Hawthorn deal means that Carlton can now trade for Houston, while still having a 2024 1st round pick. You'd think this was one of the main sticking points holding up the Houston deal, and by extension the Luko deal.

I think Carleton are making a bad mistake here. Port players never amount to much when traded. He isn't worth 2 first rounders and I wouldn't be surprised if he Huston has mediocre at best rest of his career.

Silk Burgoyne went alright.

Not suggesting that they're going to give Port 2 first rounders.

Carlton now have picks 12 & 14. I'm suggesting that they will give Port pick 14, keeping 12 for themselves (and thus staying in the 1st round of the 2024 draft).

Port will then give GC their F1 for Luko, keeping pick 14 for themselves. They thus get Luko, and get themselves back into the 2024 1st round.

There might be some steak knives involved, but I suspect this will be the guts of the Houston/Luko trades.

So the circus continues...

Clayton Oliver is the 2024 version of the camp.

It's what they turn to when there's no other news of note happening.

 

[treeman]

Never ??

Silk Burgoyne went alright.

Before the Hinkley era though.

Lets hope that our pick 28 we gave Melbourne for ANB does not turn out to be a star of the comp

Draft picks are a lot like poker machines, everyone thinks they are going to win the jackpot and occasionally some do but most people leave with nothing.

Well.... no that's not right.

This campaigner has done more to disrespect the Island than any other footy related person
and trash reputations further, now runs away.
About time, and a subtle message from the Indo government in the timing.

Police held up pieces of evidence?

Well it's a bit of hyperbole, but draft picks, especially after the first half dozen or so are far riskier than most people seem to value them. Overwhelmingly, most ( 2/3rds to 3/4rs) draft picks ultimately fail.

So who joined him for a holiday...

Goodwin
Nixon
Carey

Really don't want Goodwin as coach at AFC.

 

[GROTTO]

Really don't want Goodwin as coach at AFC.

The irony is that I can see Goodwin coaching the Crows in 2026, under a sliding doors moment for both Clubs the Crows and Melbourne.

And plenty of other “names”
He played and coached at the Geckos.
The old term of having tickets is an understatement and not my cup of tea.

Testicles?

The issue I have is that you either enforce the rules or you don't.

There's clubs who would have been consciously basing their list management around those parameters and have potentially missed out on opportunities to chase players because of those rules, while the AFL just allow other clubs to just do what they want.

It's basically a disadvantage to the clubs that have done the right thing.

Requesting an exemption is part of the rule.

 

[1970crow]

Especially since Kelly's reasons for wanting to return to Perth were rather more sympathetic.

Though he did perform much better than Smith has.

The reasons weren't significant enough for him to consider Freo.

Should be Jimmy Haslam though.

 

[Slime Roy]

I can see Dan Huston falling into a bit of a hole at Collingwood...where's he gonna find his "Father Figure" over there?
McRae gives more "Cool Uncle" vibes.

Port fans taking the Atkins news well I see.
