do u guys think players have or do like tell opponents they want to play for them

like Treloar says to Pendles

"hey Pendles can you tell Bucks i'd love to play for you guys"

not saying that happened but wondering if people think it happens

For sure it happens i reckon, Carlisle is by no means unique here. A suttle enquiry or question would be dropped from time to time.
Doubt it would be rampant but would occur.

So Sydney just gave Bird away huh? That was nice of them  :-\

[Ricochet]

Essendon done very well there

And Syd were just after those academy points for Mills and maybe Dunkley

[Pkbaldy]

Awesome result for Saints and Essendon. But I feel Sydney lose big? Not even much of a gain on points?

Yeh seems very weird  ???

We've already passed last years total of trades made. With plenty still to come :o

It's been a very busy trade period

I understand that, but I would have thought Pick 14 FOR Pick 24 + Pick 44 would have been fair... but even then, they only got like, 20ish more points?

That equals Bird? Dayum. I'm curious to see what Swans supporters think of that.

Just some clarification and reasoning behind it

In the deal:
- Essendon receives Bird and pick No.5, gives up Carlisle and pick No.44, and exchanges pick No.23 for pick No.24;
- St Kilda receives Carlisle and pick No.14 and gives up pick No.5 and pick No.24;
- Sydney Swans receive picks No.23 and pick No.44, and gives up pick No.14 and Bird.

The combined points from those picks (1177 points) mean the Swans will take more points to the draft to use on their academy prospect Callum Mills and potential father-son selection Josh Dunkley than they would have if they had hung on to selection No.14 (1161 points).

The Dons also managed to hang on to both their second round picks, meaning they will now head to the NAB AFL Draft with picks 4, 5, 24 and 25.

[Ricochet]

Yeh not sure Purps, maybe they couldn't get any other deals done that would have netted them more points? No idea tbh

It's coming through now that its actually 23 not 24.

Reports this will come through shortly


GC Gives: Picks 3 and 10
Melb Gives: Pick 6 and a future first round
