I actually think they did well out of that.
Converting pick 2 into pick 8 and 12 is a really good outcome for them. They are interested in a number of WA youngsters who will be around at that range.
Losing Junior Rioli isn't a big deal. He is 28 and wasn't going to figure in their next flag. So a couple of extra future picks to help their rebuild next year looks pretty good I reckon.
You do realise it doesn't matter who, on paper, wins trade week. Dodoro has won that award many times.
What actually matters, is who can build a list that can continually contend for premierships.
There are none better than our man Blair in that department. With only a couple in the conversation alongside him.
There seem to be quite a few getting their knickers in a knot on this site ATM - For there/your sanity it might help to remember that.
We are in good hands.
Charlie Masculine Nose is a fraud. A huffing, puffing, big, soft, phoney.
Georgiades on the other hand...could be ready to go quantum.
They should get Charlie out of the way. He can play in the ruck.
He looked cooked at the end of the year. Dunno if he could jump a match box let alone play ruck. West Torrens’ 3rd tall ?
As long as he is out of the way of the budding champion Georgiades.
Or more accurately, hopefully he stays in the way and Georgiades looks east instead of west.
But we weee never getting pick 7. Looks like that deal for Bowes was decided a while ago.
Well, I'm guessing Hopper may have made things difficult for Geelong but nevermind, we missed the boat.
It's more about the trail of destruction they leave when at the trade table.
Can Matthew Clarke build a list? That I feel is still unresolved & grabbing a key forward this year made a truckload of sense. I've said my bit about trading future firsts for inside mids, it's a no-no & despite the fact I rate Hopper as a footballer I could never justify the outlay. You clearly feel differently, you didn't like my critique of the Brown pick either, so I suppose we're polar opposites when it comes to the best approach for list building.
Bussingler is someone I would have seriously considered at 12, would need a solid medical but there's something A class about him. I reckon Hewett is the other one they take but Ginbey probably shot himself into contention with his sprint time.
They are sooo shitt now they are scared if they pick up any kid not from WA he will walk out in 2 yrs time.
*smile* them they were hiding kids for 25 yrs.
Is Hopper that good that we are going all out for him.
To be honest I have not any vibes about him at all.
The current list of youngsters we have better show a lot this coming year, as at the moment we only have one draft pick and that is 31 or 37.
Not sure which one that is, but so far we only have the one pick.

For all those getting into a twist about trading away our draft picks. If I told you 12 months ago we would be getting Tarranto, Hopper, Gibcus, Brown, Sonsie, Clarke, Banks & Bauer by the end of 2022 would you have taken it?

Cwood need to stand firm on Henry. If Bruhn, a first round selection that played 17 games in his second year is worth pick 18 (unders), then Henry who is also a first round selection and played 15 games in his second year is worth more than pick 25 (way unders).
Time to put an end to Geelong getting their way with everything and anything.

The most overrated and overhyped player in the AFL. Full stop.
