Here’s a scenario. I’m not this is possible? WCE take Reid with Pick 1. If Curtain is available at Pick 6, they the trade Reid to us for 6,11 and F1/2? Can you trade players live in the draft? I presume Reid is contracted at the time of being picked and hence available for trade?

Any trade with 2&3 would be outright insane. You just would not do it today, tomorrow or ever. Some of us obviously want the trade to happen but in the context of WC, I think their connection to Curtin is a bit overblown. I think we all agree that they are approaching rock bottom and they need talent. If you can turn 1 pick into 2-3 then it is logical to do it. They’ll have pick 1 again next year and possibly the year after so they can really be aggressive in restocking talent quickly and maybe use pick 1 at a later time to target the superstar once their list turnover has stabilised. Doing it the other way around is a bit unbalanced but that is my view.

Yeh they always find a way to fudge things up.

GWS traded 3,12 and F2 last year for it last year to get Cadman.

This has been a very unsettling trade period for a number of reasons.

So if Adelaide come knocking. What are we accepting now that we have McAdam? 10,14, F2? 6,10,F2 to WCE for Pick 1. Take Reid with (1), O'Sullivan (11/14) Trade 11/14 for a F1 to be used with existing F1 to chase big forward end of next year.

EABFD.

Next years. I would take it in the blink of an eye. WCE are wooden spooners for at least the next two years.

You can also add Rowell to that list. I don’t think they’ll get Reid wrong though. I can’t recall the anticipation of his abilities being so high. 6,11 and F2 I think is the right weight. F1 only goes in the table if we get WC F2 coming back our way.

That's what the article says. Question is whether this will count as one of our away fixtures or just add to the increasing tally. Here's an idea - play the Tigers, Carlton game interstate. Victoria will thank you for it.

I’m really lost why we didn’t chase him or why he didn’t nominate. I get that he has weaknesses but he’d only be chasing one of Hunter or Langdons spots. Or play him as a running HB.

Pretty much a nothing interview. Didn't give up anything that we don't already know, which is understandable.

I agree - but that is what Adelaide offered us and the broad media was accepting of that. This is all just one hypothetical I hope that some nugget from the media picks it up and does a Tom Morris special and reports it as fact. I’d love it just to watch Korn squirm.

He is worth more, however not when he requests a trade back home to a Victorian club. If Oliver was only worth 10 + 14 and McAdam, then Butters for 11 and Petty is pretty close in trade value.

What about Port Adelaide who are in dire need of a backline rebuild? Perhaps he doesn’t want to bring the focus onto the club where ine of their players in Butters is a Victorian. Right now I’d do Pick 11 + Petty for Butters.

Yeah nahhh. T Mac is cooked.

To me Darling changes our F2 to F1 with 6,11 on the table. That’s it- take it or leave it

WC need to look at our offer for Pick 1. Next Norf's 2&3, which they wont trade, we have the best offer. They would be mad to recruit Reid, not because he is a gun or the go home factor. They are in a world of hurt and their club has not even bottomed out yet. Expect WC to be the next Norf asking for priority picks in the next 2 years. They need to stock up on multiple players not a superstar player. We are no guarantee to finish top 4 next year either so im not gung-ho on throwing our F1 without something coming back our way. If Gus does retire and Oliver is out for lunch chunks of the season, we will be battling for top 8.

I’m surprised we didnt offer the F3 we got for Harmes. They can go and get stuffed. F2 is too high IMO.

Agreed, its the first round compensation for Gresham that I'm questioning. He belongs in the 3rd round with Harmes. Maybe, just maybe we accepted unders for Harmes.

No, Shut the thread down. 😀

What a joke. Harmes is just as good and has a premiership medal.

Is Petty a FA or RFA at the end of this contract. It would have to be a RFA right? Still way to young.

Silly.

We have two years to go. No need to rush these things.
