Potential Trades [Warning: Reading this thread may self-destruct]

Say goodbye to Petracca.

GWS have 4, 6 and 7. They will get pick 1.

What a great year to have 1.

Dogs fans will be in heaven. Their first pick and a 29 year old great player with a back problem, for last year's number 1 and the KPF they have been screaming out for.

They also have a great bunch of kids.

Yep great outcome for the Dogs and the Saints. Good luck to them, sucks for us though! No way we get Petracca now, we'll have to take Brayshaw and McCartin.

[dazzledavey36 55,318]

Fair chance saints will trade pick 1 for GWS 4 6 and 7.

That will set their club up for the next 10 years.

wow

[sue 9,142]

The wild card was Griffen! As soon as he jumped ship GWS lost all interest in a deal with us and focused on the WB then StK for #1. As I said yesterday Griffen dealt us out of that card game and those clubs would do the deals that needed to be done.

The music stopped and no place for us!!

Yes, and if you take the view of some on here, it seems Griffen wanting to leave the Dogs was all our fault.

Bang!

Yes! A city slicker for a pig shooter #TradePeriod

[Bring Back Barassi 552]

just remember.... the darkest day is before the dawn

[DemonOX 8,800]

So what are we praying for now? The Saints to hold on to pick #1?

Wouldn't bother I beat the saints will trade their pic 1 and we will only end up with one kid out of the trade.

ONE mid FMD that is VERY disappointing.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Geez, clearly well liked.

[dazzledavey36 55,318]

WOW 7 YEAR DEAL FOR BOYD!!

[The Great One 99 125]

There still might be hope. I have heard from my sauce, that the dark feathered frog is certain to drink from a crimson cup.

[Oneday 248]

I am wondering whether I will be able to trade my kids cat for $140K like the lucky couple on nine news did when they sold their house. God damn F@#KEN trade period, get nothing done at work and nothing to show for it!

[Demon Disciple 12,274]

Yep great outcome for the Dogs and the Saints. Good luck to them, sucks for us though! No way we get Petracca now, we'll have to take Brayshaw and McCartin.

So we are left with picking 2 of Brayshaw, Lever, McCartin or Wright. Yeah what a sshhhhhit position to be in.

Saints trade for picks #4 and #6 or #7.

With #4 they are g'teed a tall (which is what they would have had to get with Stanley going with #1 anyway). They also get another top 7 pick for free.

Saints rubbing their hands together.

[Redleg 41,427]

Fair chance saints will trade pick 1 for GWS 4 6 and 7.

That will set their club up for the next 10 years.

wow

They won't get all three as GWS will want Petracca and a tall.

[DemonOX 8,800]

Hearing the St Kilda Recruiter on Trade radio it looks like they are going to go hard for some of those early picks or maybe a big name GWS young talent.

I am Jealous.....

So am I.

Good to c some clubs are getting what they want this trade!!

on a side note IMO NO ONE should be on holidays during this time.

[binman 43,759]

The club obviously had a crack. I don't doubt for a second that they seriously explored the Beams, Dangerfield and Kennedy options, and probably others that didn't get leaked. So they didn't eventuate - they rarely do, these big name players are normally very hard to move, and it's not just the MFC.

I really wanted a big name trade - as others have said, we need to improve and fast. We don't want to wait for kids to take us there. A Tyson trade would have been nice, but who honestly doesn't believe we were KOTD with that one? We got lucky, it's hard to expect that to happen every year.

Going in to the draft with our first three picks is disappointing, but only a little bit for mine. We've still got every chance to significantly improve our list if we get the picks right. We now back in our recruiting staff.

Exactly how i feel. There is 24 hours to go (the magical Wednesday 3pm deadline being a mirage).

However if we go to the draft with 2 and 3 i'll re-calibrate my thinking and dream about finally landing a genuine A grader (or even 2- be still my beating heart!). If roos wants Brayshaw he's got him!

[Dr. Gonzo 24,293]

#nottheendoftheworld#stillget2goodkids

How do you know they're any good? Brayshaw looks handy, I've seen nothing from the others that inspire me to think they'll be genuine guns or anything better than good ordinary players.

[DemonOX 8,800]

U watch imo next season we will be either last or second last again with the saints and dogs possibly gws going ahead of us.

Very very frustrating.

[Redleg 41,427]

We are still trying to do the Frost deal, probably the most insignificant of the GWS players to leave.

Why am I not filled with optimism.

I hope Membrey is not traded.

[Chook in Perth 2,109]

If GWS trade for pick 1, option 34 will be inacted and we'll offload pick 3 in a firesale.

Have to.

Agreed DO, i would be very surprised if we didnt finish last next season.

Do it anyway.

[dazzledavey36 55,318]

And probably lose Nathan Jones to Free agency...

[Redleg 41,427]

Impossible, the AFL said we are on the rise.
