News UPDATE - Elliot Yeo now an Eagle

[Miguel Sanchez]

We should go back to Collingwood and offer them 11, 31 and 49 for 6 and White .... See what response we get

Collingwood obviously thought the original trade was of benefit to them, as did we.

So it would make perfect sense to offer them a reversal, and if they refuse it then it proves your point.

 

[Suma Magic]

6 and 44 or 11 and 31?

I'd say 6 and 44.

For now though ill be happy we got Yeo and convince myself that 31 is awesome, and our pick 11 would have been available at 6.

I'd say 70% chance the pies swap will make us worse off.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Question- How can a team that finished top 6 get 2 picks in the top 10 ?

They finished eighth based on their early finals exit, then got a very generous compo pick for Dale Thomas.

 

[Quinz]

I'm not too disappointed if we end up turning 6+28+44 into Sheed/Acres + Yeo + 28/31. Got the players we wanted and upgraded 44.

But **** it'd be nice to use the whip when we have it though. Squeeze every bit of value out that we can.

After the trade, we have basically got 11, 31 and 49 for 6 and 44....

Is 31 worth a 5 pick downgrade in Round 1 and in Round 3?

Could we have done better with 6 on the open market?? (I.e put it out there for all clubs - it was us that approached the Pies)....

I'd say 6 and 44.

Really depends on the draft I guess.

6 and 44 or 10 and 28 looks better though

Really clutching at straws to make this look better than what it actually is.
If Yeo turns out to be a dud and we loose who we would of drafted at 6 then watch out!
There wont be a hole big enough for him.

North don't have a live pick so its really a four spot downgrade, and I don't think we'll use 49 anyway.

But yeah, we could have done better with pick 6 in an open market you'd think. Package it with a player and we may have gotten a late top ten and early 20s or late teens.

Ah well....

 

[Broken_Chairs]

christ, we gave them 28? **** life.

 

[jaxxon]

I'm not that upset with the end result, but it's not a good look being on the receiving end of every trade.

Possibly. Melbourne may have given us pick 9 and something. Or we could have included it in the Yeo deal and got pick 7 back.

And if Yeo becomes a gun and our player ends up still available at 11?

i'm fine with that part of the trade if it works out like that.


i'm more bummed about losing 28 and snaring a possible slider.

Crazy Vosso bent over like a $2 hooker FTS

Can we lay off the "bent over" etc references, it's eally not needed

 

[vWestCoast]

Pathetic we couldn't get pick 10 from collingwood and settled for 11. Pathetic if we do trade 28, why the **** did we trade for 31 then?! Disappointing

Becasue we want a 2nd round pick still

 

[CheckSide_]

I wonder if Brisbane used the angle of picking up sheed with 7 if we don't give up 28..... Guess we'll never know.

 

[DivideandMultiply]

Have we come out ahead in any player trade since Vozzo took over? The Cripps deal doesn't even look a win because he can barely crack the 22 of a very average side.

Only the Wellingham deal looks like a break even, if he can play more than a handful of games in a season...

Now, assuming we don't do he unthinkable and trade 31 for Bootsma, or let Smith go free of charge, it's time to wait for our recruiters to work their magic and be screwed by Collingwood then pick 1-2 players who struggle to make the 22 and either get de-listed or leave for chump change in a couple of years time...

Will probably still do it anyway. Sheed to Brisbane, Acres to Collingwood.

 

[fryzie]

Really unimpressed with Vozzo and the team.

I have no problem with the trade of pick 6 to Collingwood in order to acquire Yeo if Freo were likely to undercut our offer of 41. If Freo weren't in the picture then I think we should have been pushing for Pick 41 or PSD unless we had genuine concerns about another club taking him in the PSD before us.

However at the very least we should be holding pick 10 and pick 28 instead of 11 and 31. It's those two minor details that have annoyed me the most as any competent negotiator would have been able to achieve those two things with the strength of our bargaining position.

Horrendous.

Cripps played 15 games for the year and played the last 9...

 

[The Gtrain]

Still no announcement from afl site.....

Played them very poorly and only because of injuries.
