The more I think of it, surely he was pranking. No sane person, let alone one in the public domain, would film themselves doing genuine drugs snap chat or no. It just seems like a spur of the moment silliness with salt or something that young folk do. Dumb, dumb, dumb but not the end of his career....

Brooks pick was obtained from Hawks for Spida; was a top 10 but not our pick originally.

Fiora was traded for Heath black.

Lovett was pick 16.

I don't know who Walsh is/was.

So one top 10 pick traded as far as I can see, none since 2002.

we may be looking at Tucker around that pick too

I am a huge fan of this kid.

Which kid?

I am happy with this. Nowhere near a straight swap for 5, which is what I wanted to avoid. Hopefully 14 is a good mid.

Dodo obviously thinks handing over 2 x second round picks is over the top, is he an out an out self pleasurer or is he correct ? 100% correct, our offer was a terrible one and if Dodoro accepted it he should have been fired on the spot. I don't think the saints expected him to take it, but wanted t...

Wonderful. Unlikely also. Love to get one of these types of deals up but you need to have a reason for another team to give us pick 8 or 9. If we can package some picks in the 20s that add up (in points) to more than what 8 is valued at then GWS have an incentive to trade. Crows need to want someone...

fair being the word

agree, but may be waiting on treloar domino.

and seedsman.

and howe.

the longer it goes the more i hope we either:
- keep 5, give 24 for freeman and use 42 for rice (or later pick if possible), and hope but not bank on carlisle in the PSD; or
- use 5 to get carlisle and freeman (bombers give 23 to pies), we keep 24 & 42 for drafting.

Point taken.

If they renamed it father-illegitimate son we may have been in with a go.

As I said. The rule is supposed to protect tradition. This kind of crud just makes a mockery of the whole notion. He made a choice, it should be honoured. If not then dont give him the choice. Put it this way. If I chose St.Kilda cause my dad played there and someone made a bid for me the Saints co...

I think it's our pick 5 for their Weller and their 2016 1st rounder.

And he is ridiculously good looking. 2000 extra members right there.

No, no hopes up. Agreed.

Errrr
What?!?!

Pointless.

We already have 42...does it mean 32? Crows have 9, 13, 28, 32.

If Bailey Rice doesn't end up at St.Kilda by his own choice then the rule should be scrapped. What a load of shite. Didn't we all whinge that the rule was too generous when Geelong got Ablett, Hawkins, Scarlett? Now they tighten up the rule and we whinge again that its not generous enough. Agree. I...

He has two years contract remaining so seems an extreme long shot.

Yep. But do it. Carlisle in psd or pick 24 or not.

Yeah, but Kelly if available.

Yes but massive win on talent. They were the only destination though.

Can you do that? Surely not for bidding points, because you don't know what picks you will have.

Future picks are only for trading.

He bleeds r&b now. They've been bleeding a lot.

Will need a bunch of later picks to make up the points if not using 42. Might not be possible.

Hale is a capable fwd, hickey isn't

Hickey / Longer expendable. Pierce and Holmes are capable backups. We don't have a ruck/fwd, don't want Bruce doing the pinch hitting.

carlton might pick him up in PSD. but agreed, we don't need to overpay or even pay fair market value.
