    Re: Lake gone

    for pick 21

    Confirmed by Marty Pask, had a discussion with Macca. End of next year he is a free agent and he can now play finals and we get three picks in round one.

    Sad to see him go, but pick 21 for someone with a couple of seasons left in him is an awesome deal.

    We just need to get these picks right.

    I'm not sure what's disgraceful about it...but I am certainly surprised it has happened.

    Wait to see how upset Lake is before you start calling the club a disgrace. If he wanted to go (even if he was planning to go next year), then we've done the right thing by him and the club. 3 first round picks will do wonders for our future.

    Lets get rid of Club Champions thats our Motto.

    Macca had already told Lake he will never play Fullback again, now I know why, he just wanted him out.

    An awesome deal?

    Lake is better than a 6 pick upgrade in a compromised draft.

    See above.
    I would have wanted alot more personally - did we even try to give them our third round compo instead of our second rounder as well?

    Nothing to do with Roberts, Talia and Markovic needing game time?

    But he doesn't want to stay(I wish he did). He wants to play finals.

    So compared to losing him for a 2nd or 3rd round pick(or nothing at the end of next year) I would say it is an awesome deal.

    We now have 3 first round picks.

    Fair enough if the issue is more with the specifics of the trade, rather than the fact that we got rid of Lake.

    I think it would have been great if we could have got an earlier first round pick, but can't imagine it would have happened.

    The more game time Markovic gets, the worse we will be.

    Whoever they snare with pick 21 better be able to get a kick.

    Crikey, I thought it was for pick 21 on its own, not for a 6 pick upgrade to pick 21

    There is nothing 'awsome' about this particular deal

    Didn't see the pick 41 portion initially, although I think we could have held out a little longer to try and get more out of the deal.

    We seemed keen to get a deal done on the first day, more trading to come?
