RFC should chase the 17yo GWS picks as 1st priority [merged]

[tiger101]

If that is possible then whoever wrote up the ruling around how the mini-draft should work is an idoit and someone should of made sure this couldn't happen.
But if it can and does happen hopefully Richmond is involved and we get an early draft pick or a spot in the mini-draft out of it.

Perhaps why GWS were so cooperative with the Morris trade?

Would love for us to get our hands in there

Barrett says it's between 4 clubs (not us though).

GWS want O'Meara so need that 1st pick in the mini-draft traded back to them. Not in the spirit of the rules but still within the rules.
Haw want Gunston
Freo want Mitch Clark
Adelaide involved as they are going to lose Gunston and Freo need Adelaide's pick 10 to gain Clark from Brisbane. The Crows have got their eye on Crouch as the 2nd mini-draft pick.


This is holding up every other trade.

Thats a fair effort doing a 4 club trade deal some way.
Hopefully if Adelaide get a win here they'll ease up on Ivan trade and we can get him for a 3rd round or a player.

Sounds way to complicated to be realistic, what are Freo giving to get Pick 10?
What are the Hawks giving to get Gunston?

Crows hold all the cards here because they have that Pick 10 and Gunston. GWS will need to give up something decent themselves if they want to get that #1 mini draft pick back, because once a team has it, they may not be so keen to give it up.

[mightytiges]

Clubs are willing to do this because the mini-draft picks are created out of thin air. Adelaide will be willing to give up pick 10 to Freo for no return from them because they'll get Crouch via the 2nd mini-draft pick for free from GWS.

My guess:

GWS: 1st mini-draft pick for pick 14 (also selling off 2nd mini-draft pick)
Hawthorn: Gunston for pick 24
Fremantle: Clark for pick 10 & pick 16 (both picks to Brisbane)
Adelaide: 2nd mini-draft pick (Crouch) & pick 14 & pick 24 for Gunston & pick 10

I'm guessing looking at that GWS will want more as they are getting nothing in return for the 2nd mini-draft pick. It's the reason Adelaide are deludedly asking for our first rounder (pick 15) or compo pick for Maric which they would then pass onto GWS. We should obviously say no for the simple reason that Maric is not worth more than a 2nd rounder at best and we aren't a charity to help other clubs at our expense.

The article doesn't say much about why not but apparently there not allow to trade back the mini-draft picks.

AFL blocks GWS 'super-trade'
By Mark Macgugan
10:30 PM Tue 11 Oct, 2011


THE AFL has rejected a proposed multi-club trade that would have seen highly rated Western Australian 17 year-old Jaeger O'Meara land at Greater Western Sydney.

... in an unexpected twist, it is believed that GWS had hoped to acquire the first pick in the mini-draft - and use it to secure O'Meara - by trading it and then receiving it back from a third or fourth club.

However, the AFL's head of football operations Adrian Anderson rejected the proposal on the basis that it was against the spirit of the list-building rules.

Al looks like the clown got this one right.

back onto topic. Good to see the AFL taking a stand and not allowing GWS to receive mini-draft picks.
I guess gold coast are back in the box seat to trade for the number 1 selection in the mini-draft.

The kiss of death does it again

I hear the taro reader is pretty good though

THE AFL has confirmed that highly-touted youngster Jaeger O'Meara could still end up at Greater Western Sydney, although his manager Colin Young believes Gold Coast is his likely home.

The League's football operations manager Adrian Anderson says the only way such a deal will be authorised is if the Giants "genuinely" trade the first pick in the mini-draft, and then complete another trade that brings the pick back to the club.

Unfortunately I can't see us gaining one of these picks.

I would have had no complaints parting with Foley + Pick 15 for one of these. Whether or not that would have been enough to get the deal done is another matter.
