Cal reckons Dumbnorf will make 1st move to offer pick 2..........PLEASE YES!!!
North will want to split pick 2 for two picks in this draft, that's why.
And there's no way we get it without pick 6 being involved, sorry @btoz_01
It depends what he gives up for P2.
If his other trades are to go by, we’ll probably get fleeced again.
Where we got unders for every one of out trades
according to the PRE pundits who predicted our haul.
You just know they will whinge and complain on how GC, WC and Freo folded.The best part is Parrot and Karen are lined up to be on AFL trade radio from 5. Imagine the melt
Nothing positive about Blair doing a great job.
We had to work for our picks.
GC and GWS were handed them and still no premiership glory.
I'm feeling a bit of an expansion but then again it could all deflate knowing that both the new clubs lost a lot of their draftees and never realised their full potential.
Only after saying we "should have done it 2 years ago". The sour little donkey can't give us any genuine credit.
There are so many reasons he's wrong about that IMO.
2 years ago we'd just lost an EF by a bee's d**k, still had the core of our premiership list in tact which was admittedly aging, but we were playing some very good footy at the tail end of the year. I firmly believe if we'd beaten Brisbane we were well in the frame for the flag in '22. It made total sense to supplement the list while we felt there was still another round in the chamber, even if it didn't work out that way in hindsight.
The players we've traded out now aren't core to any serious list, arguably at ATH value or near it, and had viable buyers who were able to satisfy both the player and the RFC with adequate trading assets. That is not an accident.
We've also clearly been targeting this particular draft from years out. Even if you know nothing about it the frenzy from other clubs to trade into it is enough evidence to show we're on to a good thing.
The timing of this clearout is absolutely perfect and IMO the result of a long term strategy from the likes of Blair.
Cornes and co. can't seem to fathom that this might actually be happening because of A-grade list management rather than dumb luck.
True , but in the AFLs words atthe time, the granting of such generous concessions were to kick start trading with the established clubs
