Stretch is now a mfc player.......Nth bid it's 2nd round pick.....It will cost us pick 39

I heard it was adelaide not that it matters, he's ours for a 3rd rounder

Posted (edited)

Anyone else notice this little snippet in the Father-Son bidding summary?

Melbourne bid pick two on Isaac Heeney, to which the Swans matched with pick 17.

Very interesting given that Roos would have coached him while he was with the Sydney Academy. He either rates him that highly or he was calling Sydney's bluff and forcing them to use pick 17.

It was never in doubt, they weren't bluffing. Sydney could have called our bluff by letting us use pick 2 on him, but obviously the Swans rate him as a top 2 midfielder in this draft. Either way, they're getting one of the best players in the draft with pick 17.

Absolute joke that they get him after playing in the grand final. Just more ridiculous inequality from the AFL to protect their precious interstate teams.

And everyone is crying about us getting pick 3 for Chip, We actually need it.

Sydney finish on top of the ladder this seaon and get a top 5 draft pick on top of getting one of the best player in the afl last seaon for 10 years.

Equal league my ass.

We loose one of our best (on his day) players and get compensated with pick 3. Sydney looses no-one and gets a top 4 draft pick for nothing. Why is this not being challenged

Their little academy is absolutely ridiculous. Why on earth can they select academy members during the father son selection period? it makes no sense.

The NAB Trade Period opened today but despite plenty of talk and meetings between clubs, no official trades were completed.

James Frawley

The Hawks officially got their man with the unrestricted free agent joining the club on a four-year deal. The Hawks say they hope he will play for between 5-6 years at the club.

Ryan Schoenmakers

The Hawks say Schoenmakers isn't on the trade table, insisting he is a required player despite bringing in Frawley and signing Brian Lake to a one-year contract extension. Schoenmakers also wants to stay at the club.

Levi Greenwood

Greenwood, who is currently on holiday in Bali will make a decision on his future tomorrow. He will weigh up contract offers from the Roos, as well as Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs.

David Armitage

The Saints confirmed Armitage isn't on the trade table, while Sydney forward Tim Membrey expressed his desire to move to St Kilda.

Patrick Dangerfield

Adelaide will not consider trading star Dangerfield according to the club’s head of football David Noble who said any suggestion of Dangerfield leaving the club was "ridiculous".

Patrick Ryder

Essendon wants a quality player in return for ruckman Patrick Ryder, not just "a bag of peanuts", according to recruiting manager Adrian Dodoro who said there had been little movement in discussions with the Power on Monday.

Father-son

Collingwood has warded off a challenge from the Western Bulldogs to secure father-son prospect Darcy Moore with pick No. 8 in this year's NAB AFL Draft.

It's really unfair the filth had to use pick 8 for Moore while we got Stretch at 39!

Just bullshiting! Ha Ha Ha

Mrs Palmer on the line for you apparently. You're wanted at home :rolleyes:

Roos would have loved to pick him up at 2, no bluff there and Sydney needed to rate him in the top 17 no bluff there.

Roos coached him at the academy so he knows his value, I think he was being sure to make a point to all those complaining about pick 3 for Frawley and also leave any doubters in the AFL in no doubt when assessing our compo.

The NAB trade and free agency period continued with news of some interest, a new AFL coach and no completed trades.

Levi Greenwood

The North Melbourne midfielder has walked out on the club, requested a trade to Collingwood, despite finishing third in the Kangaroos' 2014 best and fairest award. His manager Liam Pickering telling NAB Trade Radio that the contract offer from North Melbourne simply came too late.

Jeff Garlett

The Blues' small man has requested to be traded to Melbourne. His manager Liam Pickering told NAB Trade Radio this afternoon that the deal will "get done".

New coach

The Crows unveiled their new senior coach - former Port Adelaide assistant Phil Walsh.

Jono O'Rourke

O'Rourke appears destined for Hawthorn after St Kilda announced they had missed out on the former pick number two.

Ben Howlett

According to Howlett 's manager, the player could leave Essendon if James Hird isn't retained as the club's coach.

Rhys Shaw

Shaw is 100 per cent locked in to play at Sydney next season after John Longmire confirmed the half back would continue as part of the Swans line-up.

Nick Malceski

In late news, Sydney was compensated with a second round draft pick for loss of Malceski via free agency.

Looks like there are no more leaks from the inner sanctum, that gotta be a good thing.

there is that.....co-incidence.....or not ???

How the f**k does Hawthorn get Frawley and O'Rourke and lose very little (so far)? This has to be the biggest, most blatant act of inequality in at least 10 years. Incredible that O'Rourke is nominating the team he wants to play for after only a couple of years in the comp. AFL has to sign off on all trades, they should step in and say 'enough'.

He's shown very, very little in 2 years. And nominating Hawthorn shows just how soft he is.

He may have been pick 2 but let's not forget our favourite recruit Tom Scully went number 1 and has been even more of a dud.

Dom Tyson showed nothing much in 2 years at GWS, albeit interrupted by some injuries. How's he travelling now?

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
