Newman to Blues

If we don't have the capacity to pay and there is not a player that can fit into our side then stiff bickies. So we didn't get a big fish, big deal. So others have said; don't trade for the sake of it. They clearly rate Nick Blakey very highly, and at no stage were going to jeopardise getting him.

I am glad we let Newman go. He is soft and clearly over rates himself and was not happy because he wasn't getting a game.

Pies and dons have both given up a bit , trading out of the first round of two drafts is a risky move

I’m ok with angry

I’m angry

So angry

All teams around top 8 have advanced

We have not

For me extremely dissatisfied with trade week

Can anyone say massively forefilled with trade week vs our opposition????

[Foreign Legion]

And the Pies get Beams as well - they seem to have a bottomless pit of money along with Hawthorn - a joke really - everyone knows it can't be above board.

They clearly think they are a big chance for a flag in 2019.

I posted this earlier. I was stunned that this is possible, or am I missing something?

How Hawthorn Hawks got Tom Scully in “greatest giveaway of all-time” https://www.sen.com.au/news/2018/10/...y-of-all-time/

“It is a risk, but at the same time, if he does have an injury that allows him to never play again, the payments they make for Tom Scully will fall outside the salary cap.”

Something like what we did with Tippett. It's not all outside the cap but there are set rules for paying out contracts and how the $ are counted in the cap.

All teams around top 8 have advanced

Injuries aside and draft aside:

1. West Coast - In: Hickey Out: Lycett. Slightly worse.
2. Collingwood - In: Beams & Roughead Out: Fasolo out. Better
3. Richmond - In: Lynch Out: Ellis, Myles, Conca, Lloyd, Stengle. Better but reduced depth.
4. Melbourne - In: May, Kolodjashnij, Preuss Out: Hogan, Tyson, Kent. Probably slightly better.
5. Hawthorn - In: Wingard, Scully, Scrimshaw Out: Burton, Duryea. A lot depends on Scully's health but overall better. Burton is a big price to pay.
6. GWS - In: Nil Out: Shiel, Scully, Lobb, Setterfield WOW. Massively worse.
7. Swans - In: Clarke, Thurlow Out: Hannebery, Rohan, Newman. Treading water.
8. Geelong - In: Dahlhaus, Rohan, Kreuger Out: Thurlow, Horlin-Smith, McCarthy. Slightly better.
9. North Melbourne - In: Polec, Tyson, Pittard, Hall Out: Preuss, Clarke. Better.
10. Port Adelaide - In: Lycett, Burton, Mayes Out: Wingard, Polec, Pittard, Hombsch. Slightly Worse
11. Essendon - In: Shiel Out: Colyer. Better
12. Adelaide - In: McAdam, Stengle Out: McGovern. Worse.

The Hun's summary of trade week winners and losers: Category: | Herald Sun

GEELONG

It’s still hard to see what role Gary Rohan plays, but no one can doubt he has huge talent.

SYDNEY SWANS

IN: Picks No.26, 39, 40, Jackson Thurlow, Ryan Clarke, Carlton’s future second and fourth-round picks

OUT: Pick No.13, 70, Dan Hannebery, Gary Rohan, Nic Newman

DRAFT PICKS: 26, 33, 38, 39, 40, 88

JON RALPH SAYS: The Swans ultimately did exactly what GWS did — ease salary cap issues — but without the fanfare. They traded away Dan Hannebery and got back very little for him, moved on Gary Rohan amid anger from the player himself and in the end failed to lure Darcy Moore despite months of conjecture. In the end they ended up bringing in Cats defender Jackson Thurlow for a late pick as well as fringe Roos midfield Ryan Clarke. The positive was bringing in heaps of points to secure father-son Nick Blakey, who will be a jet next year. But securing five picks between 26 and 40 doesn’t get the pulses racing. Like GWS, the lack of COLA is clearly biting for Sydney too.

GRADE: C

[Bill Posters]

So are the hawks and pies chucking all their draft chips in to aim for a premiership in the next couple of years? According to the draft guide on the afl website hawks have got picks 53 and 90, not much long term planning there.

A number of other clubs have burnt this years and next years picks in trades, some will pay off, some won't. I stick by my earlier post, no point trading just for the sake of it.

We have obviously taken steps to correct salary cap issues leaving us in a very good position next year plus extra picks in hand.

If Blakey is as good as all the pundits say, we've done well, in some ways we've upgraded from pick 13 to pick 7 in a super draft and strengthened our later picks plus added 2019 picks.

Auntie, go to the top shelf and crack a really good red, glug it down and you'll feel much better!
