Pointed out on twitter but how much damage will this cause for Brisbane for years to come? Lost 5 high draft picks and got unders for all of them. Basically makes the last 4 drafts really big busts for them, has all the makings of coming to a similar situation that Carlton were in post cap penalties.

We won't know for about two years, but it does make this draft absolutely critical for them. If they have more than a couple 'misses' in the next two drafts, they'll be in a world of pain.

It's unfortunate. If Longer, Docherty, Yeo, Karnezis and Polec all stayed they'd be a good side in the future.

Have to feel for Leppitsch, couldn't have walked into a club at a lower point

Yep. He really doesn't have much to work in he next couple of years, does he?

Hopefully for him one of his strengths is developing young kids.

Wow, Brisbane trade Longer (pick #8 2 years ago) for pick #25 and some chump change. That's a massive downgrade.

Bit of a bail out from the McEvoy trade for the Saints here.

Gumbleton deal done. Essendon get Freo's pick 55 and Freo get Gumbyman.

Boo yah.

Even if it was just speculation I'm more than happy to dodge speculative bullets when it comes to Gumby.

We ducked and Freo were standing behind us.

Re: Recruiting Rumour File 2013

Carlton did reasonably well to land Everitt & Pick 39 for Pick 32.
