Hawthorn doing very well too if they get O'meara along with the others, however with us keeping pick 7 and getting our targets probably sways it to us :thumbsu:

Loosing Sam for nothing hurts them next year though, irrespective of Mitchell and Jaeger coming in, long term not, but in a team with an open window that hurts
 
Geelong last year bought in Dangerfield, Henderson, Selwood and Zac Smith as well as getting a softer draw last year and look what happened.
Next year we bring in H.Bennell, B.Hill, C.Mac, Kersten and possibly Hamling whilst losing Mayne, C.Pearce, Hannath, Mzungu and DeBoer. Plus you add in more games to Fyfe, Sandi and A.Pearce (possibly Johnson too) and we will have a softer draw then things aren't looking that bad.
Plus a full pre-season into Pick 7, Balic, Yarran, Apeness and all the sudden our 22 looks pretty good with a decent amount of depth.

Pavlich not considered a loss?

Bit harsh on a club legend;)

Looks like you may have missed a pretty big out from the 2016 team

Same as 2016 then

I thought he held his head up well for a bloke who was happy to retire the year before, was talked into going around again.

Scored a few goals presented well and even got a bit spiteful at times ( sure sign you are past your prime )

I'm glad he went out on his own terms, gonna miss the big fella
 
I've seen a couple of things on Twitter suggesting that ther is another high profile Hawk that could be on the move, I have heard a rumour that it is Jordan Lewis also.
 
Spirit isn't a term we use for 2016. I thought Pav was quite good throughout the year though. It is hard when you are still trying to play top flight footy at 34+ years of age. Not a problem the dockers face next year though;)

But the budgies will face this issue with their new prized recruit :)

But...but...WHAT ABOUT DA POINTS!!!!!

Seriously, the point system has made people dumber when it comes to trade week. That is saying something.

Cheers for the backhander, but you're missing the point. GWS approached Brisbane to get this done, not the other way round. Trading up to pick 16 is great and all, and improves Brisbane's position in the draft for - potentially - zero loss, but given how desperate GWS are for McGrath, Brisbane held the cards and I'm surprised they didn't push for another pick that is likely to not be live for GWS in any event.

Points may not tell anything like the whole story, and their relevance clearly varies according to club, but they're also the only valuation method we have other than gut/opinion.
 
What's happening with Barlow?

I read early in the week that he is free to move but we are not pushing him out the door, i really hope he stays he is our best wet weather mid, his heart and soul is in Freo.

Rumours were GC was interested but they have publicly denied that.

Brisbane made it clear they are going to accumulate as much talent through the draft as they can this year. This trade gets them four picks in the top 19 in a strong draft, and only trading down one spot. Points don't matter to them. It's a win/win
