Now we are starting to see the academy/f+s points play out a bit… makes it really interesting.
Great get by Disco if it plays out. Pick 8 is more valuable to us than them… perfect… everybody wins!
Big day tomorrow methinks. Once Jake says yes, and GWS says yes, it would be time for Disco to hang up the cue stick and go back to Tullamarine. We will all be waiting chanting “We are not worthy”…
GWS would have to be clinically retarded to accept that.
Nope. They need to secure Academy players and this is better for them in terms of the AFL points system. It’s not about “normal” drafting.
Oh there it is, now it makes sense (I've been slow today)Why are giants trading their pick 8? Is pick 8 not enough points?They want two academy players. But they need our two picks for that. Our two picks give them enough points.
And they’re going to get 7 for Treloar anyway. Plus other picks or players one would assume
Can someone explain to me how the whole pick 8- pick 21 + 25 and points system works for academy kids.
Blitz today
Can this ■■■■■ be settled already? I’m reading this all ■■■■■■ day, wife is hating me.
If Adelaide are still trying to sell pick 5 for two 1st round picks. Do you think we are likely to say its pick 5 at least and if you dilute that in anyway we are walking off and taking the Hawks offer?
Got this feeling that Saints should go hard on getting Freeman
I reckon pies should ask for pick 5

my chicken house was like that, forgot to collect eggs for a few weeks.oops.
I saw some mildly encouraging signs from the man himself on fb tonight that indicate he is partial to Hawks trade.
I reckon the statement from the saints that they spoke to him and he confirmed his desire to join their club failed to include the bit where he also told them to get a deal done tomorrow or he’s going to the hawks.
Sack DODORO?
At this rate, by next Thursday I expect us to end up with picks 1 through to 30.
Essendon's big day continues with reports that the Bombers are looking at giving picks 23 & 25 to the GWS Giants for pick eight in return.Picks 23 & 25 would give the Giants enough points to secure academy young guns Jacob Hooper and Matthew Kennedy under the new academy system.
Should this all happen and Jake Carlisle gets to the Hawks, it would give the Bombers picks 4, 8, 15 & 18
I’m surprised Carlisle is still even giving us the chance to hunt pick 5 from saints.
If you get asked to come play for the best team in the comp… why would you hesitate?? Most players would have ditched St Kilda the moment the call came through.
Also the Carlisle deal shouldn’t hold up the 23+25 = 8 deal. I still think that is better for us, no matter whether we get 5 or 15,18. Three top 10 picks should be enough to work with!
I am tent polling over the possibility of FIVE picks in the top 25Like one of those huuuge Pakistani marquees.

Not ashamed to say that when I read that I began giggling like a school girl.

No they need those picks to get their 2 academy guys and those 2 picks get it done, 8 only gets one of them

Same she thinks I’m on ■■■■ Hub. Well maybe I am…

Some of his friends closer than myself giving him a rev up about him being in brown and gold next year and he ‘liked’ all the comments. As I said, mildly encouraging but I’m running with it!
