Re: The Wrap Up

I'm hoping Long lasts until 50.

I can't help myself, it could be a long wait

Re: The Wrap Up

Can't understand the Hrovat & Stevens trade at all. We effectively traded them both for a 6 pack & a pack of smokes. Wasn't expecting the world for them but really thats all they are worth?

Confident SD will nail any pick really but JMac negotiating skills I worry about. Seems to be a good list manager but Ronald McDonald would of got more back for Hrovat & Stevens. Is Ron busy next trade period?

You can't look at trades on an individual basis, you have to look at the overall position and where you end up.

I have. Overall we get pick 26 for Hamling, Hrovat & Stevens. I fail to see the positive in this.

Think you're overrating what both Koby and Rat are worth. You're only worth what someone is willing to pay.

Have you noticed what every other club has given up for their fringe players? I think we've got to get our head around the fact that fringe players don't have a lot of currency

What do you think we should have gotten for them?

Hawthorn lost Sam Mitchell and Jordan lewis for half what we received......

Re: The Wrap Up

Anyone else had a good look at the final draft order?

After pick 2, GWS only have 15, 37 and 39 in the first 2 rounds. Teams can really go after their Academy players this year.

Would we consider the CHB one? McCreadie or something like that?

I think you're are overating our own a bit. There wasn't a great deal of interest in them.

Yeah i did. WHE 2nd round pick next year. Steele 2nd round pick next year. Nankervis 3rd round pick. Witts 3rd & 4th round pick.
Lyons 3rd round pick. All significantly better than what we got combined for Hrovat & Stevens. Mark Stevens commented on twitter 'Hrovat steal of the trade period'.

We're only taking 3 picks to the draft so if we ended up with a pick in the 30's instead of 50 i would of been happy. Hrovat & Stevens combined i would of thought could get us a pick upgrade.

I to was disappointed on our returns but then you see some of the other out of contract players going for irrelevant picks to get something is not that horrible. It just wasn't a sellers market this year. It's still disappointing to see all that we got for those players. I really think each player is worth far more than that.

I would have liked to have 4 picks and kept 61. So looks like Prudden is safe and Smith stays on the RL for another season. I'd really like to get one or both Long and Hannan but doubt it's going to happen now.

Didnt both give us 3rd round upgrades?

As i said i wasn't expecting the world but we got nothing for them. How can i be over rating them? We got nothing for them and i think they are worth more than nothing.
