Draft review

Saddo and Powell asked to be traded because the club had already jerked them around. The club was happy to see them go because they did not rate them as players. There is no 'soul' about it. I do not imagine that either Powell or Saddo are particularly thrilled with the Sydney Swans at the moment. All they have done is resigned after having been given the sack anyway - Powell may even be wondering if he ever got employed in the first place.

By jerked them around I presume you mean didn't pick them in their starting 22 - I understand all clubs do this on an almost weekly basis.

It's a common phenomenon with players that aren't good enuff - I think it's excellent that all parties get to start afresh.

A draft pick has similarities to an option. The value of an option is dependent on time to maturity and underlying volatility (except upside down in this case -

Do we value palyers using the binonial or Black & Scholes Option Pricing Model?

Binomial is closer to describe how Saddo played

Agree.

Saddo and Powell were not good enough to be in our best 22 and since we had a good run with injuries they were no hope of getting a lot of game time.

Yep, had another year left. Should have done what Hawthorn did with Everitt. Told him that he was a contracted player and unless another club can come up with a suitable trade, he would have to play out the contract.

Although do you really want a player who doesn't WANT to hang around?

Exactly what Hawks have now, is a top player who doesn't want to be there and really they did him no favours either. I wouldn't be surprised if further developments on this take place, as he would be in the short term a better ruckmen to ahve for success while others others develop.

The coach is full of ********.

That is a very interesting quote oh wise one.

Everyone thinks that the line of ********'s means you are giving the coach one hell of a tongue lashing.

I suspect you meant he talks with great wisdom.

Sounds like ROK Lobster is talking about himself again...
