He basically quoted Mahoney saying we are happy “right now” to keep pick 3 unless a really good offer is made. So we are putting it out there.

That is disappointing if we were looking to trade pick 3 with Carlton as it suggests that GWS hasn’t approached us with a very good deal. On the other hand what could Carlton offer other than 9 and a player.

Where is the poster who said we haven’t done anything and Saints and Carlton are killing it. They have done nothing and we are the only club who has done the 2 trades predicted.

Poor relationship with a few players and loss of faith in him by others.

Interesting to see if we have identified a key forward.

Camporeale was seen to be too close to Pyke. No other finding against him. Wouldn't have thought loyalty was a bad thing.

Sorry didn't see your edit. Fair enough I understand your position.

Not for me.

First, don't make things up. Where did I say the difference in the draft picks is nothing? It clearly is something, but also clearly very little when you consider all along we were looking at losing 22. Second. How can you say a deal that is better than everyone on here was prepared to take, is a bad deal. I suppose we should have got him for nothing. I agree that is a better deal, but I don't think it would have happened. I agree with your last point, we can agree to differ.

Explain to me how you would have got a better deal than we got? Most on here were expecting at best to lose 22. We didn't, we went down 4 spots and instead they get what hopefully will be a worse pick for them if we improve on 17th, in a worse draft. Please explain how we could have done better getting a good player?

Not in this trade. I posted a few days ago that he would be reasonable with us and he certainly was. He can't be criticized in this trade as we have done extremely well. I don't care what he does with the Saints or anyone else, he was good with us this time.

We have given away a hopefully lower pick, in a worse draft next year, for dropping 4 spots on 22 this year in a stronger draft and got our man. That is great negotiating!

No.

Mark Stevens said tonight he could confirm that GWS will be making a big offer to us to get 3. Many of us have posted 3 for 6, since it got to GWS and a player, preferably Caldwell. That would be a good deal for us as we would probably grab the bloke we want with 6, maybe Weightman. But he said big deal and that could include another pick, maybe 40 which they got as compo for Tomlinson. We are in the box seat here to do a huge deal. As for Esava, it won't be happening.

A cheese platter.

Frost deal getting close and could be done tomorrow. Most likely we want 30, as does GWS, for Patton. That is probably the hold up.

And we love the Weid.

Little whisper we will be nominating Tom Green, if we have pick 3 and will be happy to take him, if not matched by GWS. He also has a brother in the GWS academy, which could make it even more interesting.

Conor Nash for Frost. That is my aim.

Apparently Pies are into Jenkins.

My AFL daily email says we are confident of getting Langdon deal done by end of week, which I assume is tomorrow.

These trade periods just drag on. Nothing really happens until the last couple of days. If not for the AFL wanting the publicity, we could do it in 3 days.

Could have got him last year for about 40.

That guarantees GWS the 2 players they want after GC obvious 2.

Is that the end of us splitting now?
