2013/14 TRADE PERIOD

[kilbluff1985]

That's fair enough man but you should have gotten more, that trade is uneven. With his injury affected season Swallow is about 6DT points below his average that he has consistently posted for the past 3-4 years. That would put him at 130+ which he was going at for nearly all of his season. Mitchell has posted 111 in his first year but it was still his first year. Kids futures are more uncertain compared to a proven premo who is the captain of his club. Palmer also averaged similar to Mitchell in his first year and won a Rising Star... just saying :P

i guess but considering Swallow is out for half the year or so his value drops and Mitchell's increases a bit not sure if you have factored that it

This is really the only reason I think the Bombers win.

Expecting Lez to make a point with every post would mean he would only be able to post 1 out of every 100 he normally does!

:P

Calm down fellas

So why did you say "bombers winning big" as the first comment after the confirmation of the trade? If thats your only reason, then its not really them winning big right?

Mitchell faded badly at the end of the year, for all we know that's how he will play throughout the rest of his career but we do know that Swallow is a proven premo. Yes you can trade a proven premo for a gun kid, thats all fine and dandy but a pick upgrade of 20 isn't good enough in my opinion - especially upgrading to pick 25 where the draft thins out, its not like you got a top 15 pick too and can try your luck selecting a gun kid from the draft

[kilbluff1985]

Well the Owls next pick is pick 7 i think not sure how that would go

Swallow is not playing half of next year so we pretty much are trading out a 22 gamer and yes I am convinced that Mitchell is best 22 and will be regardless in the future. You cannot argue he is a gun. Anyone could say that even O'Meara could end up being spud, I reckon it's a silly argument.  Pick 25 will get you a solid player as the draft dies at 35. 47 will probably be a player I delist. That's just what I reckon.

Pick 25 will get you an average player as the draft dies at 20.

Fixed ;)

[Vinny]

Far better than a 25, something solid could slip. No way will it slip to 47. Plus KB has to use like 10 picks, upgrading his picks is what he needs.

[elephants]

Mark Hutchings was a pick 60! :P

[Vinny]

Haha and there's speculation this draft won't get to 60..

[kilbluff1985]

There's still decent players up until like pick 30

[elephants]

Hahaha fair call :P
