Re: Trade Period Reactions

I thought we did that because we’re inept and everyone here not related to the decision making process is much smarter than those involved who were.....

Re: Trade Period Reactions

I am please with the result. I loved Stringer as a player, but honestly if he isn't going to perform and put the hard yards in he can sod off. Trengrove, Crozier and Schache should improve the team. 2 first round picks should be used wisely! Its a positive result.

What I would say to Essendon is beware of unmarked packages, you never know what they contain

Every player needs to do the work no one can slack off and think that talent will get them there. Players not willing to put in will not get a lot out of themselves.

A good analogy is like for a school/uni exam you may think you will get through based on your intelligence but if you do not do the hard work during the year it will show and you will not do well even though you might be quite smart.

That only hurts you. It's more like turning up on the day of a group presentation and not having done any work on it, thinking that what you know about the subject is already enough and you'll just make your bit up as you go along.

Plenty can change in 12 months and if we have to go into debt for 2019 because we traded our future second round and both West and our Academy player are both highly rated after big seasons come draft day, it won't be a good look.

Agree Td. In a past life I regularly had to talk in public and was always well prepared. On this one day I decided to wing it and take no notes with me thinking I had done this enough times to be proficient. Well it was the worse decision I could have made. Never again.

Preperation is everything. It only looks easy because you've done all the hard work already.

In the last two years Stringer, Hamling, Hrovat & Stevens requested out. So we may well lose one or two players to get some points in. Plus we have 5 candidates for free agency, so if they do leave we are looking at more points again. Plus we can look at points trades.

There's also the matter of Kellett & Olly Liberatore the next year, so you'd think we are making sure we are covered across the board.

Actually I think only one requested out ,Hamling, the others were on the outer anyway and saw the writing on the wall.

Pick 10 (1,395) for picks 41-45 (1,894 - better than pick 5)

West pick 8 (1,551 * 80% = 1,240.8)
Khamis pick 30 (629 - 197 = 432)

1,894 - 1,241 - 432 = 221, pick 54

So pick 10 for pick 8, pick 30 and pick 54

So much for no second rounder
