Was a complete blindside. We were going to select him in the Rookie Draft, Freo took him in the preseason draft which took place just before it.

Jack Hannath. Burst into tears at training when given the news Fremantle had drafted him.

If he nominates for the PSD. If he does, we should definitely take him. If he nominates for the National... not worth pick 3 or 6. Shades of Luke Ball.

So now we get in Jack Martin’s ear...

The 'pick points' comparison is ridiculous in any context outside of matching an academy or father-son pick. Suns would accept the actual pick 13 for Martin, not some combination of later picks that 'equals' pick 13.

I'm not sure I understand the angst on this one either... if he's assessing 2019 output, seem just about right.

Outside pace.

I’ve no interest in any of GWS’s picks in next year’s draft. If they want to move up to pick 3, then I’d be wanting 6 and a player. Unfortunately, I can’t see a player being traded this late in the game without being vetted.

Gonna get in early for what is going to be a very big thread... Huge win for the club! Masterstroke!

Last year we traded away a 23yo key forward for a 26yo key defender. Nothing to do with this years deal and Goodwin’s job was not under any threat at all. No panic. No trying to ‘save his job’.

So let's get snooty when it actually happens, rather than having meltdowns like in the 'Petracca requests trade to Geelong' thread..

Nothing to do with Goodwin trying to save his job - this is a long term deal. Bringing in another highly rated 17/18 year old will do little for our prospects next year. The real benefits of this, if we draft well, will be in 4 - 5 years from now. You keep going on about Goodwin being in a panic and trying to save his job, but this deal has little short-term value. If we trades these picks tomorrow for two 27 year olds, then you might have a point... but that hasn't happened yet.

Draftees aren't going to be a quick fix to anyones problems. Langdon, Tomlinson and better luck with injuries improves us immensely for 2020. This is better for the club.

I like it. If recruiters are spooked by Brodie Kemp's knee injury and he's still there at pick 8, this'll be a huge win. Kemp then takes next year to recover and hit's 2021 as a new top 5 recruit. Failing that - Caleb Serong. Pick 3 on Young and we'll be well set.

There has been consistent talk of GWS needing to get a 'low pick' to get Green and a high quality draftee. If they stop where they are, it more or less places his value at pick six (or we have offered too high a price for our pick).

Joe Daniher was an All Australian 2 years ago and has a similar injury history to Hogan, who Fremantle traded in with a serious navicular injury. The trade value you've proposed is essentially the same. I'd prefer Daniher in the team.

This is one of those 'high risk, high reward' trades that some people complain we never do. If it comes off, we've gained a gun player as the steak knives in the May trade. If it doesn't, people criticise the risky trade and bemoan us not taking a safer route.

This is a fantastic get for the club - there's no other way this can be viewed. Great athlete (speed, endurance), great footy brain (finds plenty of the ball) and is at the perfect age, with a proven track record at senior level (top five last two Best and Fairest). Langdon on one wing, compliments Tomlinson on the other. Two very different players with complimentary skill-sets we've brought in for the price of a second pick and some cash.

Very good player- but I feel whatever we bid, they’ll match.

A bird in the hand... Langdon wants to come to us. I've seen or heard no indication whatsoever that King wants to come to Melbourne.

Or even just an original joke about him. It's all predictable, repetitive and boring.

StKilda are in a tight spot as they've offered him a massive contract (cash and years) and he's contracted to Fremantle. With that said, I would have thought pick 6 (with perhaps a swap of later picks was fair enough).

Sure did... if you think pick 6 and pick 19 hold the same value.

I think the Saints need to take care of this year's shopping list before they look to King. They need picks and cash to cover Hill, Jones, Ryder, etc. Something's gotta give.

That’d be going to Fremantle for Langdon I’d say. Perhaps on trading the Frost pick..? I have no idea what that might be, but Frost for Bruce sounds close to the mark.
