AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
GWS give up #4, #7 and #19 in this scenario plus three players for Griffin and #27. I'm not sure that's a win.
... well they aren't giving up pick 7 at all.. we are..
22 is going to patful. If they give 19 to the dogs they better come up with a best 22 player for us.
That's why GWS will keep #7. Just to rub it in
I don't get what you are trying to say here? The kid is good? He didn't games because he wasn't a top pick? I'll admit I'm part of the 99% who haven't seen him play in the NEAFL, but I found it incredibly amusing that he was never mentioned in any trade targets posts before his name gets mentioned today. So these informed posters were just keeping their cards close to their chests right? Same goes for Tutt, how many people on here would have been watching Footscray in the VFL saying 'gee I hope we land this Tutt guy, he'll really improve our best 22'So you are posting from London?
Who the hell is Mark Whiley? Serious students of the game, of which there are a few on here, know who Whiley is. We also know that while the NEAFL does not directly equate to the SANFL or the VFL, it is not as far behind as many would have us believe. So many casual observers who "like to hear their own voices" can be found on here denigrating more enlightened posters, and indeed industry professionals. It is not a precise science, human foibles enter the equation. If it were precise science and junior or past performances were bankable, we would not be discussing Garlett leaving for peanuts.
Before accusing people of talking out of their backsides, consider the quality of highly touted household names (for the casual footy observer)of recent times, Jack Watts, Gumbleton, Daw, Tambling, Butcher, on GWS what about million dollar Scully who realistically, despite injury, is not necessarily in their top 6 mids. Some great stories there
Whiley is not a guaranteed star, but without one iota of improvement vies for a spot in our midfield. For reasons quoted earlier there is some cause to hope for, even expect more upside. (Any club would salivate at the chance to get Treloar, Shiel, Ward, Coniglio, Whitfield, Kelly and others keeping Whiley out of the team). Whiley has comparable real (performance) currency to O'Rourke traded today for #19. Don't underestimate the internal pressure at GWS to play/nurture the high draft picks to vindicate the performance of SOS and co. The Whiley's taken for nondescript picks or zone allocations exert less pressure, so accordingly their development is not regarded as pressing (see Miles, and the impact of Tyson at his new club)
We are talking of brokering a deal which has some attraction for both sides. Both parties need some comfort from the arrangement, our professionals, while no doubt posturing for the best deal they can, consider the talents of Whiley well worth consideration. Clearly we rate Jaksch even higher than the #13 or #14 publically stated by Rogers. Posters criticising his "honesty" maybe should consider that we consider him top 5 as was suggested from his draft year. It is therefore in our interest to reach a suitable deal. If Jaksch is "top 5", #19 and Whiley or anyone else becomes cream on top of the deal.
Lets see how it plays out people..............no guarantees, but on this one I need to trust our professionals
I think they rated him 5th best of the kpp in that draft.............something along those lines anyway.
I remember in the 2012 draft that the talk had been that Carlton were looking at taking Jaksch at our pick 11, but when they heard that Menzel might slide through to us the talk about Jaksch stopped.
Yep...for a change we are now in the box seat with our pick 7 and should try and take GWS to the cleaners like they were trying to do with us over Jaksch. Now that Griffen has asked for a transfer it puts GWS in a different position because they need us to help them !!! We need a good result in this trade because we were bent over and had our dacks dropped in the deal with the Dees on the Jeffy trade!!! Carlton may as well have just given him away for the little they got back....hope they do not cave in and get nothing for Lucas and Robbo and perhaps Warnock, because we still have to fill their positions on the list. no good just getting a whole lot of late picks to grab guys that will probably not be on the list in 2 years time !!! I think that trading Lucas for that Freo ruckman Clarke could be a possibility, as Freo seem to want to get rid of him and they still need to add outside mids with pace to their team as far as I can tell .....don`t know if they would do it but Clarke does kick goals up forward when resting, unlike Warnock who never converts even when he does take a rare mark up forward..........just an idea that`s all. Clarke is from Victoria and I did read where they were keen to trade him.
they seem to be just doing things to show that they are "THE BOSSES". they found nothing wrong with the deal for buddy back then, so why drop this now when teams might have had deals lined up with the Swans to trade for players and or picks !!!they are penalising the other teams as well with this decision. too many rules at the last minute these days and most of them SUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
