Agree. We also want to be a place where players want to play and want to come to, not one that holds players over a barrel. Players move clubs, it's reality.

Marcus, are there vibes you are picking up on?

No vibes. Saw a rumour on big footy, which likely has zero substance, but how good would he look in our forward line. I'd happily give up a first and early second rounder for him.

So if we're going for at least one top 10 pick, do people think this will be for a trade of our own or we have our eye on someone in the draft?

Expand  

Be a big surprise if we’re suddenly uncovering a top trade target. Taranto was a die hard demon as kid (which usually means nothing), if we had the cap space he makes the most sense of any of of the top players out there if we’re stealing someone else’s target.

The most likely situation to me has always been that Jacko was our highest draft pick in years, we should replace him with another high pick (plus another nice piece as we are almost no chance of getting a pick 3 back).

Whilst best available is always the way to go I think we’ll be keen on either a tall forward or a midfielder with some forward craft or attacking qualities too.

If the future first goes for Grundy and Henry's thrown in (or part of another trade), that leaves pick 8 for the Astronaut. We allow the Bulldogs to take Tomlinson and maybe a later pick exchange upgrade for them too. Like it. 😉

Where's that new thread, @Engorged Onion

Lever trade is probably the benchmark.

10 + F1st for Lever + 35 with steak knives in Adelaide's favour.

DL thought we were ripped off.

So far we’ve had 1 season where it was a steal and 4 seasons where we have been ripped off!

I’d put Jackson in the same boat as Lever where there’s no doubt he can be an incredible player with some special traits. But there’s also some valid questions too and there’s safer ways to spend some very good picks.

Are you just anti everything, or maybe just the [censored] out of everyone on here?

You do remember we won the flag last year and finished second after the H&A games this year?

We are a seriously good side and I think after a bit of down time we will come back better than ever, some of the players came back to training too early this year and needed a break, maybe that's why we have had so many injuries and looked flat.

Both the Swans and Pies play a frenetic game and it's hard to keep this up, I think they will fall back a bit next year, Geelong will be a year older and maybe not quite as hungry as they were this year.

Maybe you should focus on the positives we have and stop trying to find reasons why we can't win.

Did you miss the part where I said he was a steal for 1 season?

I never said I wouldn’t have done the Lever deal, he was a key player in a flag, of course I’d do it. But it’s just a fact that he’s had 3 injury impacted seasons as well as 2020 where he was far closer to just good than great.

My post was comparing Jackson and Lever as somewhat volatile players and as super highly rated talls traded after 3 years - an unusual time for talls who have established themselves to move clubs. Lever’s the best interceptor in the game at his best, but fairly mediocre if he’s off his game. Jackson’s a game changer if he’s on and a bit underwhelming otherwise.

How do you define ripped off?

So as far as you're concerned we were ripped off because he's been injured?

In hindsight would you have done the deal if you knew he was going to get injured? We did win a premiership with he being an integral part of the team.

I'm not sure what you are saying, is it the fact we have only won one Flag whilst he's been there because we were ripped off?

Pretty sure it's Lobb's manager referring to Fremantle knowing he would be requesting a trade again this year.

Whilst that isn’t really fair, frankly, yes.

Most of the worst trades involve paying big prices for players who can’t get on the park or play to the best of their abilities due to injuries.

There’s plenty of time for Lever to deliver a lot more good footy for us but apart from 2021 he hasn’t delivered. I’m not expecting to win the flag each year and Lever’s just about paid for himself getting us 1 flag, but dogs fans said that about Tom Boyd who played about 1 good game in his entire contract. It’s fairly true but also underwhelming.

We paid a similar price for May as we did Lever, and after an awful first year he’s been All Aus level in 3 of 4 years. 

I’m sure Lever and the club both expect him to string some good years together to continue to get value from the deal. That’s not unreasonable.

That's from Lobb's manager, about Lobb.

It is funny though. Colin Young made sure to bring up LJ at every opportunity. Any freo player leaving was Luke's fault pretty much. Media out west will be ripping into him if he doesn't live up to expectations. 

Hope you enjoy that Luke.

Anyone remember Cerra being impressed with our presentation but we were never really in the frame because we didn't have the trade currency. Ugh.

There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o
