You are kidding mate!

They offered 11 and 23 and we got 5 and 23.  

A win for both

Regardless he was worth 2 first rounds. Especially from a club that's had zero success since inception.

Poorly handled.

It removes the distraction of will he wont he stay for the next 12 months.  We get May, Preuss, KK pick 23 for Hogan Kent and Tyson.  I reckon we have identified holes and filled them 

We have improved our list, that’s what it’s all about.

its a great result just with the knowledge of not having to worry about whether he is going home ever again

Honestly Hogan was going to command big dollars next year. We would have probably ended up with less next year if he left then. They sold for as much as they could get for him.

Did we get 23 also?

Trade paperwork officially lodged. St Kilda trade Rd 2 (28) (on traded from Sydney Swans) to Melbourne for Rd 2 (36) and Rd 2 (46).

Interesting trade to move 8 spots, not sure what the logic is?

Yes. Tired of the “will he go home” circus every 12 months. Let him go and play for Freo. Hope he can get a kick in their forward line.

So still got 23 and now 28......something brewing maybe?

Perhaps we are up to something? Maybe trying to get into the first round.

Would think a player...if just picks we have days up our sleeves. For a player we have a bit under ,5 hours...I'm intrigued.

WE CAVED IN WITH HOGAN DEAL. Freo and other clubs must be laughing their heads of at this deal!

should have insisted on 5, 19, Kollo and late third rounder.

Under the deal done Neale worth more than Hoges

Gutted!

And when they said no..?

 

 

How do you 'win' a trade period?

Jesse was going, even if he stayed, he was gone next year and we all know what happens when players stays on when they have already checked out.

We got a big body defender in, which we dont have and a promising youngster running and delivering out of the backline, which we also dont have (Hunt hasnt proven himself there).

We also take in pick 23 into a very promising draft.

Was it ideal? No, but we certainly got 2 quality players and a good chance a ripper kid in the draft.

Just to confirm does that mean we now have 7 places to fill on the list?

They have their eye on someone and think he will will be gone by 36.

Correct.

Would love us to package 28 and 23 and trade high into the first round

If there were a Mario from Doncaster of Demonland, surely it would be Picket.

You get a good idea whether you've won in September 2019.
