I am amazed with what we got for Cheney!!

Jeremy Laidler went to Carlton along with pick 41

and geelong got pick 36 and 53

We got pick 52 and lost 66 and Cheney

is it just me or have we been dudded?

I would have thought if geelong could get pick 36 for laidley we could have gotten more than pick 52 for cheney?

i would have thought cheney was the more established player.....

not happy....

thoughts??

 

Personally im happy with the trade. Cheney is not a required player. We did better than Fremantle who received pick 43 and 55 for Tarrant and pick 44

Cheney is not an important player for us. He asked to be traded to a club that would give him more opportunity, we did the right thing by him.

he is not worth much, and we didn't get much for him. Given I would have liked him to be de-listed, I think this is a great outcome for all parties, and wish him well at hawthorn.

 

Compared to other very fringe players that have been traded, we've done on par with every body else

- Laidler essentially for pick 53 (+ 4 spots upgraded 41 to 36)

- Jonathan Griffin for pick 61

- McKinley for pick 86

- Chris Tarrent for pick 55 (+ 1 spot upgraded 43 to 42)

- Nathan Djekurra for pick57

And us... Cheney essentially for pick 52, bc we are not going to, and were never going to use 66.

On market value we did fine. Cheney is not in our future plans, so no point playing him next year.

It's worth noting that Laidler would have played much more if he played for a lowly team, Geelong have been going to premierships the last 4 years and they have an absolutely awesome backline. I wouldn't be saying Laidler= dud

Syl sums it up ! The OP seems to rate Cheney far higher than his real worth . Kyle is an honest player , probably better than the typical VFL level but hasn't really shown much to encourage us to put our money down. Obviously worth more to Hawthorn and in the context of how they appear to be about their drafting is value. Cheney was going to be very lucky to get much if any gametime in 2011 simply for the comp at melb for his type of position .

In a nutshell ... Bridesmaid


Id like to know what Melbourne saw in Kyle Cheney that resulted in them drafting him in the first place given its been pretty clear from day dot that he wasnt what they were/are looking for.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
