[My Chumps]

Trade 74
Christchurch trade: Jay Kennedy-Harris
Berlin trade: Clay Cameron

Votes against: 0

Coach comments: 0

Admin comments: Purps just can't help himself

Final verdict: PASSED

Trade 75
Christchurch trade: Jarryd Roughead, Rory Sloane, picks 37 and 43
Dublin trade: Dayne Zorko, Travis Boak, picks 12 and 21

Votes against: 4

Coach comments: 1 believes Christchuch winning by too much, others believe Dublin winning by too much, and some believing it will hurt the competition.

Admin comments: While I'm willing to call this trade fair for both parties, I really believe that this hurts the competition. Unfortunately, I seem to be in the minority, and honestly, don't want to deal with the private messages and 4 pages of complaining if it is rejected. So unwilling to overturn the decisions of the coaches.

Final verdict: PASSED

Trade 76
New York trade: Pick 30
Christchurch trade: Luke Lowden

Votes against: 1

Coach comments: Think pick 30 is too high a price

Admin comments: Rucks are at a premium, no real issue here

Final verdict: PASSED

Trade 81
Christchurch trade: Taylor Adams (sorry NDT), Dale Morris and pick 7
Dildos trade: Matthew Boyd, picks 8 and 26

Votes against: 3

Coach comments: Feel Boyd and 26 isn't enough for Adams, and that Morris' worth is limited

Admin comments: Risky trade that seems to benefit both teams. Boyd only a couple of years left if that, but Adams is no guarantee to be a superstar.

Final verdict: PASSED

Admin comments: Agree

Final verdict: REJECTED

[Hellopplz]

Trade 84 - KB has a man-crush on Ashby which is why they got him :P.

Seoul could be very dangerous in the near future with their young guns...

Toronto Give: Levi Greenwood + Nat Pick 14 + Nat Pick 32

Final verdict: REJECTED

Wow, that is absolutely retarded. Greenwood averaged 94 in a career best season. Griff averaged 98 in his worst season for four years.

[Hellopplz]

It's true that Griffen had a down year but a top 15 and a nice 30ish pick as well to make up the difference when Griffen is aging and moves to a team with a midfield stacked with young guns? Greenwood also moving to a situation where midfield is full of youth but can be said can make a bigger impact there than Griff at GWS.

That and reckon both those picks were overkill :P. But then again depends how people rate the draft... Take out one of the picks and would get it through I reckon.

Get rid of 14 and chuck like a 4th or 5th rounder on Moscow's end. ;)

[elephants]

Well, 104 since round 7 :P

[Justin Bieber]

I rate Griffen over Green 'can't kick' wood and those picks. So that's quite funny.

[Jukes]

I won't say anything, but I'm sure if you ALL THINK ABOUT IT YOU KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING

I can't be banned for that, right?

Greenwood is a guy who averaged 94 in his best season. Picks are gambles on young players who may or may not work out, with high chance of minimal reward in the short-term. That's one side of the trade.

The other side is a guy who averaged ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE POINTS PER GAME excluding his red-vested game in 2013, then was derailed a bit by back injuries but finished the year with a 6-game average of ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY, including a final round score of ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE.

Oh, and there's also just a three year age difference.

Can I appeal the trade ruling?

[Vinny]

Just saying, I can see why they aren't happy. Griffen was just as good as Ablett for a large chunk of 2013. He still an elite player whereas Greenwood has had one good season which wasn't even elite. Griffen is elite.

But can also see why it was negged, take out the other pick, with just Pick 14 it isn't bad enough and looks fine I reckon.

[AaronKirk]

Griffen is a proven premium midfielder. Greenwood has not shown premium output for a midfielder. We passed the trade (and passed all trades this week)

The picks even the trade up IMO. dunno how it passes without Toronto giving up the picks.
