WhyHawthorn are dumb as rocks
It's weird because Hawthorne where expected to use #14 for Barass and then WCE use that pick for Baker.'Hawthorn has traded pick 14 for Carlton's future first and second round picks' - Cal Twomey
'Carlton is in talks to trade its F1 + F2 to Hawthorn for Pick 14. A deal that could have huge flow-on effects for Dan Houston, Tom Barrass and more.' - Riley Beveridge
'It's Carlton's F2 that is going to Hawthorn. Blues able to do it after getting another F2 from Brisbane. It's been accepted by the Hawks' - Riley Beveridge
Doing everthing they can to get Houston to Carlton
It's looking that way - multiple deal affected by this. Can't imagine West Coast would be too pleased.It's weird because Hawthorne where expected to use #14 for Barass and then WCE use that pick for Baker.
So maybe Baker and Shai to heave-ho?
What if it helps them get other trades done?Trading out #14 in a strong draft for a potential #18 and #37 while also possibly aiding a rival that they seem to think they're in the running against. They're drinking their own piss thinking their shit doesn't stink.
You'd have to think they're 2 steps ahead because in isolation it looks a bit silly.What if it helps them get other trades done?
were they just looking around?Just saw Ivan Soldo on Lonsdale St with the girlfriend that’s supposedly dragging him back to Melbourne… I’ve never seen a man so visibly enamoured
Dogs are trying to make "statements". If they take that for Daniel, it might hurt them playing hardball for Smith?Does anyone find it odd the Dogs wouldn't take pick #25 for Caleb Daniel? The guys been sub over and over, played in the twos this year but they value him higher than 25??!?!
I understand them playing hardball with Smith but with Daniel theyve basically indicated all season he isnt part of their plans going forward and pushed him to look for a trade by dropping him/making him sub numerous times in favour of guys like Bramble, now theyre acting like he is a required player.Dogs are trying to make "statements".

Clubs are getting sick of players just saying they want to leave and the receiving club taking the mickey with low-ball offers.
Some players, the clubs are happy to let them go, but releasing one of your senior players you wouldn't have otherwise let go, has to come with a price tag.
I hear you however I'd argue the Dogs have already told the entire comp how much they value Daniel by subbing him and playing him in the VFL. He's not best 22 there and they've said as much, so the idea they're now telling everyone they place a greater value on him is to put it bluntly ridiculous at best.Dogs are trying to make "statements".

Just read they are asking Saints for pick 27 for Macrae, Saints offering 47. Im on the fence over who is being fair with this one but again they basically pushed Macrae out the door all season.I hear you however I'd argue the Dogs have already told the entire comp how much they value Daniel by subbing him and playing him in the VFL.

Statements are best made when dealing out a player you value.
Neither player imho would be worth under 40, so to me 47 seems more than fair. I think the Saints are right to offer that.Just read they are asking Saints for pick 27 for Macrae, Saints offering 47.

It looks bad overall with the Dogs asking for "fair" trade value for 2 players they've effectively frog marched out the door with the way they were handled all year.The Dogs can't afford to lose all three of Daniel, Macrae and Smith and get back one early pick for Smith and two late picks for the other two.
It'll just look bad overall.
This 100%It looks bad overall with the Dogs asking for "fair" trade value for 2 players they've effectively frog marched out the door with the way they were handled all year.
You reap what you sow.
well if West Coast trade like this Harley Reid to us is a lockNot convinced by the Blues part of the trade. I understand the West Coast and think it'll work for them.
