So you agree that Wellingham isnt worth a first round pick?
Lol, no i don't agree with you.
Wellingham holds more trade currency than Kerr, only an imbecile would suggest otherwise.
So he is nowhere near the same calibre as Kerr (who would be considered a first round selection) but you want the same compensation based on what?
Edit: Kerr isnt up for trade, but im sure if he was only an imbecile would think they would worth the same.
It's the same reason that Tippett is worth far more in a trade than GoodesSo he is nowhere near the same calibre as Kerr (who would be considered a first round selection) but you want the same compensation based on what?

Kerr is over 5 years older has has been battling injurys the last 2 years lol, get a grip FFS.
Im a bit confused by what you are trying to say but right now, if Kerr was looking for a new home. Aged 29 he would be lucky to get a second round pick. No doubt he is a superstar, however no one is going to pay up big for someone who will be 30 for most of next year.So he is nowhere near the same calibre as Kerr (who would be considered a first round selection) but you want the same compensation based on what?

No, that's called "free agency"Is that the same reason why you got Q stick??
Whats your point?? He's still an A grade Midfielder, Wellingham isn't.
Seriously overrated - second round pick at best
Only the Collingwood supporters actually believe he is worth a first round pick.

If you are suggesting that because Kerr was taken as a first round pick so every other player who is offered a first round pick should be as good a Kerr or no deal. You are a little crazy. Kerr was a first round selection by our Brownlow medal winning player in Swan was a mid 50's selection. By your logic does that mean Kerr should have been selected at about 55? There are bad first round picks as well. Some dont even play games. Danny Roach at selection 7 (11 above Kerr) played 1 game for the Pies.
No, they were both laughable trades at the time & have proven to be so.
The Wellingham deal is not so. The Boot is a good player, playing well in the seniors & consistent. Neither of the two you mention were close to that at the time.
Carlton also petulantly refused to deal with Collingwood over Fevola in 2009.Yes. Of course they didn't. Judd made it clear he wanted his nominated club to offer WCE fair compensation and Carlton did that. So much so, that every man and his dog acknowledges it as one of the best examples of a top end trade coming out win-win for both clubs - some even question if WCE got the better end of the stick. Carlton did not want to give away JK one little bit; everyone knew what a talent he was (except opposition supporters of course). Talk about gumption ... Carlton have been one of the most reasonable traders of the last 5 years. The only people genuinely pissed with us have been Freo over Warnock and that's because they wanted overs for their man.

Lovett was a cancer off field and an very inconsistent performer on field.
Essendon totally reamed StKilda on that trade. Bombers went and wasted the pick on Mark Williams. The ultimate lose-lose.
So you agree that paying a similar price for a guy who performs less would also be a lose situation for the buyer?
BTW - we got Jake Carlisle for the Lovett pick as well.

Really showing your ignorance there. Lovett played 22 games plus averaged more disposals & kicked more goals in the year before his trade than Wellingham has at any stage of his career. Reality is that Wellingham is only an average performer. If you are a mid, averaging less than 20 touches per week you'd wanna be a very effective tagger, game breaker or more frequent goal kicker to be considered a player worthy of a big trade. Wellingham is a good ball user, smooth mover & does most things well but IMHO isn't above good in any areas. Maybe he is capable of making that next step at another club but he isn't there yet & so I don't believe he's worthy of a top trade. I just don't see match winner.
Lovett was dropped twice in 2009 in a side that lost more games than they won. He also averaged 16 disposals per game on a wing.
His output was quite a deal below Wellingham's and had never stood up in finals and GF's like Wellingham.
