Similar deal to the one where we traded PBowden to Richmond

[Go_Dogs]

Good deal. Those are the types I like for fringe players, change your draft order slightly, get back a player.

[Go_Dogs]

Interesting that Saints went for Gardiner and King, for pick#90.

[Raw Toast]

Similar deal to the one where we traded PBowden to Richmond

Yep, though I would've preferred a trade similar to the one where we got rid of Rawlings and downgraded our pick to do it

[The Underdog]

I believe that was called Karma.

rawlings deal was an act of stupidity. We were stupid to get rid of pick 6 back then, and we had to pay part of his contract for 2 years after we traded him to the kangaroos. Now that is stupid.

Hold on, if we had our time again, we would probably do the same thing. We are all smart in hindsight, but at the time Rawlings had just come off his best year. He took the most marks in the AFL playing CHF and we snagged him. His problem in the end was his dicky knees as he always had the talent to take a big contested mark.

Forgot to mention in an earlier thread that Eade has earmarked Callen as a tagger. He says he is a tough competitor and will be a run with player for us.

I started a thread on BF at the time asking everyone to lay it on the line. I hate the way some people make out that they're all geniuses after the event. There were a few against getting Rawlings but the overwhelming sentiment was pro-Rawlings.

Exactly, at the time it was. We had the choice of taking Stevens or Rawlings and we were looking for that elusive power forward so took Rawlings.

Yep remember that. Fairly sure I was pro-Rawlings at the time. Just dazzled by the thought of getting a big key forward. People forget that at the time he was the best contested mark in the game. His body let him down and Hawthorn knew it was coming which is why they wouldn't give him the contract he wanted. The Rawlings trade wasn't a bad idea but the Koops and Street episode was a debacle.

I am pretty sure I didn't want Nick Stevens in the PSD either.

I was cautiously Pro-Rawlings, but what I really wanted was to keep pick 6 and take Fergus Watts.

I notice that Watts was delisted today. Rawlings post-Hawthorn still achieved more than Watts did.

I'd give Watts another chance (unless attitude or his broken leg is an issue).

I was pro-Rawlings but I think the thing we were all stupid about was that he really had never been a forward. And even for a guy with a bad knee he never seemed particularly fit with us.

I thought after Gehrig left that Watts would get a much better go at being a key forward for them. When did he break his leg?

[Dry Rot]

Early this season.

And I too was all for Rawlings. Didn't know that his knees were buggered.
