I think the Pies want himWhy isn't pick 25 reasonable for Henry?
7 pick downgrade on a guy who has not broken into a best team and who isn't going to any time soon is about right, isn't it?

AFL picks and chooses when it cares.Am i reading the Bears-Cats pick swap correctly, seems quite one sided in Brisbane's favour?
Is this the kind of swings and roundabouts that allows the cats to get away with deals we can't comprehend ever coming our way?
The Port no deal is a disgrace. Clearly a case of the AFL trying to block to protect the stinkboners. Hawks were allowed to do it IIRC and the rule was "oh as long as they end up with somebody's first/second rounder" so that should tick it as legal.AFL picks and chooses when it cares.
example - port can't give up an F1 and later picks from same draft for a kid that was gonna cost the Crows 2x top 6 picks and a late 1st.
GCS can send 2x top 10 picks to the cats for a pick in 50s....3 years after they were handed a mother load of picks....which they also gave away to a large extent.

And the exception of considering the trade based on the player's age is there to allow trades exactly like the JHF One. It isn't as if trading in a teenage former pick 1 is compromising Port's future for the present.

Nah they didn’t. I remember the 90 minutes I spent trying to untangle that one, and every badgering me to update the draft order as if I had more access to information than they did. The Hawkes definitely didn’t have both picks for a little while before the second batch of papers went through.The Hawks did get the second before they traded both.
Also that has always been the rule since they brought it in.
That was the trade that had the "as long as they don't leave the room trade week is still going" rule invented, wasn't it?The Hawks did get the second before they traded both.

Yeah that also rings a bell. Though when I try to think of which deal my mind gets stuck at going back to the nonsense Motlop compo that the mystery formula came up with to service another trade.It was the Cats I believe who were able to bend the rules/get them re-interpreted.
Can't remember what the deal was for though.
Wikipedia, funnily enough:Where's the best place to see a run down of all the trades? AFL site seems to have taken it down to direct traffic to their half baked summary articles
Might be time to give Jack another call?AFL have said the cats have to give GCS a second round pick as part of the Bowes deal. GCS want future picks and the cats don’t have an F2. Currently have pick 25 and could get 33 for Esava. Be hard to get Bowes and Henry done.
33 for Esava is way overs imhoAFL have said the cats have to give GCS a second round pick as part of the Bowes deal. GCS want future picks and the cats don’t have an F2. Currently have pick 25 and could get 33 for Esava. Be hard to get Bowes and Henry done.
Port just handing picks out like candy.33 for Esava is way overs imho
