Interesting that the previously Dees hating Barrett, says we did the right thing in the Lever deal. Basically says that we are a professional club in trading.

He's also been quite critical of North. Maybe he doesn't "hate" us after all and was legitimately criticising stupid moves we'd made in the past

I hate to admit it as I have often felt so bruised by his commentary but I think you're right.  "scatter gun" WAS accurate, and was Neeld at his worst. His call on the Kelly trade was also fairly accurate....the fact we landed Hunt in that trade couldnt really have been seen.

The question is, do we go after Gaff next year via FA, or save all our pennies for 2 years, clear as much cap space as we can, and go after Kelly in 2 years time?

We had pick 58 before the Kelly trade and ended up with 57, where we took Hunt. So we were always getting Hunt.

The Tyson trade was a shocker.

An interesting side note on this issue...I think Roos came out and said he wouldnt have picked Kelly at 2 anyway didnt he? Or maybe Im not remembering that right...but Im pretty sure. So who really knows who we might have picked.

Jack Billings was his preferred.

Thanks redleg. So the question we really need to be asking when this issue arises is whether Tyson and Salem is worth more than Billings

[goodwindees 2,119]

But we would have also retained Pick 20 after which there were also good players selected.

We wanted Salem and believed correctly we could get him with 9. We thought Tyson would be a very good player for us. If his disposal was better, he could have nearly been that for us. He is still a regular 22 and we haven't got better players to keep him out just yet.

Salem can still improve and if Tyson improves disposal it becomes a better deal.

Tyson was also very good in his first year with us. 2014 I think it was?

I think people are writing Tyson and Salem off too quickly, they are still both only 24 & 21 respectively. 

And people also choose to forget that at the time our list was a shambles and we needed as many good players as we could get, not just one top 5 draft pick.

People really need to get over this trade and move on.

Yesterday's "big" deal was Adam Saad leaving Gold Coast for Essendon with the Suns getting a future second rounder. 

I just received a tweet from NAB Trade Radio suggesting that there's a big day ahead!

That's what they say every day and not much happens. 

Thankfully, it will all be done and dusted soon.

Freo got pick 2

Suns got Weller & pick 41

 West Coast receive picks 21, 26, 37 and a 2018 second round pick in exchange for pick 50 and their 2018 first round pick to the Gold Coast

 

Shows how desperate they are to get people who want to be there.

That pick swap is horrendous. My god.
