Jaysus. I thought the pick swap would be to our advantage, not theirs. WTF. We are a shambles.
Yep, the best team in the comp wanted Hickey, while Longer has gone from having two contracts earlier this year (Saints and Geelong according to Stoney) to having none at this point in time if I’m not mistaken!

Bring on Pierce and Marshall in 2019![]()
Buddy we got pick 39 for Hickey and the later picks aren’t worth much.Ghost Like wrote: ↑Wed 10 Oct 2018 1:22pm Gags & Lethers off to a flyer!!! Could not get a deal done throwing around $1.3 mill a season so to prove they can actually wheel & deal, identified the right pick # for a underperforming player who didn't want to be at the club & gave them bonuses for it! The banking industry must be relieved to have a good samaritan out of their ranks.
Let's see if we can ride the crest of this wave by getting Collingwood's 2nd rounder for Bruce & Lonie & our 2 remaining picks in the 60's & a swap of 2019's 3rd round picks.
Keep working your magic boys!!!
Think about our club's shining track record of developing players.
How did he stitch us? Surely we have the ability to say no to contracts that are too high
Wouldn't have anything to do with two gun mature age key forwards?WellardSaint wrote: ↑Wed 10 Oct 2018 1:29pmThink about our club's shining track record of developing players.
Adam Simpson and the admin at the Eagles have done their homework, and understand that our amateur and rubbish system has short-changed Hickey.
They are confident he will go up another level, under their tutelage.
You said 'reigning premiers'- any idea how they got there?
A much better system than our rubbish one.
Put Daniel Ricciardo into the Force India F1 team, and see how low he finishes.
Force India- that's us.
Hickey might play WAFL a lot, but in Perth, he's gonna be a helluva lot better there than under our numpty ruck coach Adam Scrotumbalak and Vanilla Richo
Where’s Billy playing next year? All those contracts you were talking of seemed to have vanished!stonecold wrote: ↑Wed 10 Oct 2018 1:17pmEnjoy the WAFL, novice!!!!!The_Dud wrote: ↑Wed 10 Oct 2018 1:05pmYep, the best team in the comp wanted Hickey, while Longer has gone from having two contracts earlier this year (Saints and Geelong according to Stoney) to having none at this point in time if I’m not mistaken!

It will be even more of a fail if Longer is now the new Plan A.skeptic wrote: ↑Wed 10 Oct 2018 1:34pm Personally I think we were better off keeping Hickey then taking that deal.
For me that’s a fail.
We’ve traded a mediocre player that was the best we had in his position for a speculative pic.
A readymade ruck good to go, to a club that needs one.
We should have done better
They will not improve with Hickledik on the list, also frees up more $ for us as Tom was grossly overpaid!!!!!WellardSaint wrote: ↑Wed 10 Oct 2018 1:29pmThink about our club's shining track record of developing players.
