Jones to the Blues

[Remi Moses]

Thought Jones should have gone in the 30's
Probably that much effort into the Boyd / Griffen trade that this one got a bit lost.

I'm glad we just got him to the club he wanted. We've looked after every single player but Tutt, and this will be noted. We've also been totally fair in every single deal we've made this trade season, and I like that about us. Leave the trade nuisance tag to Essendon.

$$ relief?

For me just a relief it's over for another year and we fared pretty darn well.

Good call.

Its all well and good to say that he is worth 10 picks more etc.... but we're a bit hamstrung by the fact that Carlton was the only club interested in Jones, and obviously we don't (or he doesn't) see a future for him at the club.

I was always a staunch Jones supporter - but unfortunately he was horrible more often than not, at AFL level.

Perhaps he is worth more than 46 - all things being equal - and if there is interest. And Stanley is a huge result for the saints. But the same as selling your house, it comes down to who wants to buy and what they are prepared to pay for it.

Shaun Hampson to Richmond and Cameron Wood to Collingwood years ago - are two examples of desperate 'buyers'.

[Mofra]

Karma - we did Jones a favour by accepting unders, Sydney gave us Biggs for nothing (we got Darley for peanuts last year too).

I don't see Jones as in Carlton's best 22 but who knows. He's not our player anymore and life goes on with our genuine gun power-forward which Jones was never going to become.

We may not even end up using 46.

[Bulldog Joe]

For pick 46

The Blues win that one.

I'm not so sure.

Liam needs to improve a lot to be worth a regular game.

That's a shocking result when compared to the Stanley deal.

Not happy with this one.

Yes. It is a little bizarre, but Stanley is more flexible.
Can play back, forward or ruck and probably has more endurance

Given Hawthorn received two picks in that range for Mitch Hallahan, I'll be damned if we haven't been bent over with this one.

I expect Hallahan to be a 100 gamer. Would be getting a regular gig just about everywhere. He was very good in the VFL GF.

We may not even end up using 46.

How have you come to that idea?

[Bigboyjp]

I'm not so sure.

Liam needs to improve a lot to be worth a regular game.

I agree he does need to improve his work rate a little lazy.

i thought we'd put too much into him to let him leave! In saying this he seems to have been "one" of the players upset at his end of year assessment.

Good luck to him I think we may have got what we deserved for him. Let's not forget Adam Goodes was picked up at pick 45 from memory?

[stefoid]

If we take some delisted player like that North Melbourne dude as a DFA and upgrade Redpath for example?

Or if we upgrade Redpath and Austin, which isnt outside the realms of possibility given our age profile now.

Just possibilities I aint got no sauce or anything

[Ghost Dog]

Who can say the Blues win that one? Wait and see. Hope! Must be the afterglow of the Boyd pick.

Yeah, Goodes at 45. Brian Lake was pick.....72 from memory? Gives me all the reason to barrack for a smokey.

[GVGjr]

Who can say the Blues win that one Gary? Wait and see.

Its hard to get exact valuations but we didn't do badly.

[Ghost Dog]

If Jones hated the hair dryer treatment from Macca, hope he knows who his coach is going to be at the Blues! HAHAHA

[ledge]

We got Honeychurch at 60 , I don't think you can judge until you see who the pick is.
