How do the saints expect it to get it done without trading pick 5, particularly now? If they manage to get the crows to hand over their picks for pick 5, they will now have to give us 9 and not 13. We would rather two picks 15 and 18 then just pick 9.
They should quickly decide whether they will send us pick 5, if not they should concede they can’t match the Hawks offer to the bombers. Don’t keep stuffing everyone around!
Would anyone else be ■■■■■■ if Carlisle refuses to go to Hawthorn and expect us to take whatever St Kilda offers? After all he signs off on this?
He’s already said that he will go to the Hawks if a deal could not be done with the Saints. That means if we don’t like what they are offering then no deal. We’ve said all along we want 5. Anything less and he’s gone to the Hawks. Dodoro was kind of stalling last night when pressed if Jake could sign with the Hawks right now. He was basically buying the Saints some time to work out their next play.

Only all of blitz…plus most other Bomber supporters too!
Divine intervention from the football Gods if we end up with 5 picks inside 25.
Seriously can build something very special with that, and address all our needs.
C’mon!!!
Not sure how it's Hawthorn's fault, or the AFL's in this case. Carlisle's not a free agent. Hawthorn didn't use any compensation picks. That they were able to offer a second first round is on North, not anyone else. There's a lot of clubs who could have offered similar but in at least two cases they decided to try to be smartarses about it. And I don't see how that's on the AFL either.It's just, you know.... the vibe.
IF Hawks get up, would anyone be opposed to giving GWS 15, 18, 23 & 25 for 7 & 8?
Equates to around 473 more points for their academy pics. Would mean we would have 4, 7, 8 and then not another pick until the 4th round…
Like anyone, I’m not overly excited about sending one of our best young players to Hawthorn so they can win another flag.
What I don’t care about, is the AFL, other clubs, and opposition supporters.
We don’t owe anyone sht. We need to do what’s best for our club, and fck who cares what it does to the the AFL competition.
By the time we are ready to challenge, Hawks may be on the way down. St Kilda may well be challenging with us so I don’t mind if Carlisle goes to Hawthorn over Saints.
Bains can take his law degree and stick it up his @&^&
Outsmarted by one of the best operators in the business…Well done Adrian and thanks for all the hard work
Finally he is been given the freedom to do his job
I might be asking a really dumb question here, but why cant we just use picks 23 & 25 to bid for the GWS academy kids?Why hasn't the GWS deal gone through yet? That doesn't involve anyone else and is a no brainer for both unless GWS are trying to get a better deal from someone else.There might be other deals being put forward to them.
Because by the time pick 23 comes along those players will have been bid on, points matched, and wearing GWS jumpers.
I haven’t had the time to research the new points and bidding system.
It’s making sense now.
I am tent polling over the possibility of FIVE picks in the top 25
And what do the tents say?
Three terms not to be used by the media next trade period
Trade winds

How dare Hawthorn realise that draft picks are massively overrated & trade away their early picks for players 6 of the last 7 years & then take a mature guy with their only 1st round pick they kept. Damn their lack of stupidity!

You’d probably look to get a later pick back (worth less than 473 points) but that’s such a strong position.
Draft picks are highly overrated
Unless, you’ve got them for the first time in aeons…
In which case every day feels like MF Christmas.
