Talking trades

Re: Talking trades

Hawthorn got him for a steal really.

Trading a 28 year old in Gilham who is coming off an ACL, picking up Anderson plus slight downgrad in their picks.

Bargain.

Re: Talking trades

Hawks are getting the slightly downgraded picks in that deal so maybe it was GWS that was posturing

I read it the other way, confusing the draft tracker format.

Still a good bargain for the hawks i think.

Re: Talking trades

Yeah. Dalrymple will sigh and cross another name off his list. That's Martin, Hogan and Anderson gone now.

We had no hope of getting Hogan or Martin and we don't know whether we had any interest in Anderson.

According to Emma Quayle we were interested in Anderson.

31 trades completed - record is 33 in 2000 and will be broken.

It slowed down after you posted this didn't it

I think at least 6 more after that

Fair enough, felt like it slowed down more than I thought it would

I expected Tippett, Brown etc to be traded

It seems like the AFL wouldn't have approved the Tippett trade due to all the shonky deals between him and the crows.

GWS wanted a big defender, surely they would have preferred Markovic over Gilham?

Maybe we didn't want to let go of Markovic after losing Lake?

Re: Talking trades

Am I right in saying Hawthorn got rid of 3 defenders (Gilham, Murphy and Young), 2 of them tallish after we traded them Lake?
Just highlights how badly we were dudded there.

Not sure what you mean?

Gilham - Injury prone and couldn't get a game this year.

Murphy - average at best, couldn't make two GF teams

Young - Free Agent and got a better deal.

Meaning they were desperate for a real key defender, not the imposters masquerading as key defenders on their list (ie: Shoey, Gilham, Murphy). And because they were desperate for one, we gave them Lake far too easily - I don't think that is in any doubt in AFL circles that we gave him away for unders (even if quite a few posters here, as is their right, are happy as larry with the Lake trade).

How does that make any sense at all?

Obviously Hawthorn thought Lake was a better option then what they allready had or they wouldnt have taken him.

That's is my point. If Hawthorn rated him so why didn't we wait out and get a better deal? Don't care if our club didn't rate him or he was going to leave next year for nothing, he was worth more than we got for him.
The no sense part is what we did in the deal.

We are only guessing we would have had a better deal. Anyway its done now so we move on to the next phase.
