10,43,64 for Bugg and 7. Hung onto the pick int he 20's as a bonus!!!!

Didn't we lose that in the original trade for 10?

I've lost track but I thought we now had 3 and 7, then not appear in the draft again til 50 odd.

[ManDee 7,222]

OK Mahoney haters, eat some pie.

[Senegor 31]

Go watch the film Draft Day and pretend Kevin Costner is playing Josh Mahoney - zero to hero!

How about this for a deal,

Pick 50, 46, and 6 to GWS for Bugg, pick 8 and 27. GWS lose Bugg for a 103 point gain, equivalent of about pick 60 (may be a little low).

We then trade pick 8,29, and 27 to GC for Pick 3 and a player worth about pick 30. We gain Parish in the draft, which we want, and GC get an extra 673 points minus a player worth about 673 points (pick 30ish).

leaves us with few draft picks but we get the two players we want and some steak knives from GC.

Going to blow my own trumpet again, wasn't far off in the whole thing, picks changed a little and the order of the trades changed but the outcome is about the same.

TOOT TOOT.

Better than watching Moneyball and finding Mark Neeld playing Billy Beane!!!

[Jaded No More 68,974]

This points system is working a treat for us

Also, in more exciting news, we just got pick 94 for Fitzy! #winning

(in all seriousness, that is not bad, since we can use that to upgrade Harmes or Vanders with that)

They were always going to. So many people on here are short sighted during this period.

Melksham, Kennedy, Bugg and 2 picks inside the Top 10. Brilliant work.

Plus we can now all watch another 2 minute highlight video of Bugg's best work. Has to be the best part about the trade really...

Actually good, another rookie upgrade

Yep, my bad, forgot int eh excitement.

If we use that pick to upgrade a Vandenberg or Harmes then it's #epicwinning

Why trade 3 and 7 for 4 and 5, if we take parish at 3 then we are guaranteed to land one of curnow, weideman, francis or the SA forward who name escapes my memory. We may as well keep our picks.

Get the best mid (Parish) and a highly rated key forward to partner hogan.

*Edit Burton is the SA key forward

It also shows as well that with Frost and Bugg now crossing over that Voldemort's tales of Melbourne being a bucket shop organization are falling on deaf ears!

[Beetle 4,679]

Mahoney and co should just not even turn up tomorrow and leave a note on our trade desk that says "Out to lunch".

[Senegor 31]

Too soon Billy... Too Soon

[What 18,810]

We now get to ruin the dreams of Essendon (picks 4 and 5) and Carlton (pick 8)

This is too good.

Those two guys are both wearing Dwight Howard's numbers on their shirts! Not a good omen to put that on here when talking of recruiting coups!

[Demon Disciple 12,274]

Gladly

[Red and Blue Flame 191]

Was just thinking about GWS and their drafting. They have had the cream of draft picks and so many are gone or are on the way out.

Yet there is hardly a comment in the medya about them unlike the Dees that have copped it from pillar to post.

They have lost:

Pick 1

Boyd

pick 2

O'Rourke

pick 3

Plowman

tyson

Pick 12

Jaksch

Hoskin Elliot and Buntine look like busts and I can't be bothered going trough the rest of them but plenty are looking to leave....

they've also lost the plot

what pick in the 20s? that went earlier

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

I want our group playing poker for me any day of the week.

Straight face, Straight bat.

What was itv2 hours ago, definitely going into the trade with 3 & 10.

Now 3 &7 and Bugg and the fat lady isn't singing yet.

[CBDees 3,167]

I hope that we are seriously looking at Jones and Terlich's contracts as it would be a shame to merely use picks 46 & 50 on rookie upgrades when there may be somebody that the FD finds more suited to our needs ( now that we have traded in some midfield depth)!
