wow...

just wow

ridiculous pathetic trade - may as well delist and let Mitch and sydney sort it out themselves. FFS pick 79 in any draft is about 1 in 10 hit and miss, in this weak draft that everyone used to justify pick37 for maric  ::) is like its pick 120.

stuff off

easy now TM. what were you expecting?
Morts was finished at Punt Road.
I think other clubs are pretty aware of his off-field 'issues' and on-field limitations. He is a selfish player without a defensive bone in his body.
Put it this way, I wouldn't want my club drafting him, If i didn't go for Richmond.
This is what he is worth on the market. Its better (albeit marginally) than delisting him, which was inevitable.

We only had 3 picks left yeah? What's the chance we're trying to trade out an earlier pick? Oh well. At least we got more than delisting. Still kinda bummed :(

Odds are 15 odd picks will get passed on or not utilised or used on rookie upgrades before this pick. We probably won't even use it.

It's just a glorified delisting dress up as a trade. Pick 79 woopee!  ::)

The issue now is how we replace Morton's spot on our list. Presumably we are planning to promote a rookie because pick 79 is unlikely to score us a player better than even Morton to improve our list.

Disappointed. It appears we just gave him away without even attempting to bargain.

Trade No.9
Will Sierakowski from Hawthorn to North Melbourne for pick 58.

Trade 19
Mitch Morton from Richmond to Sydney for pick 79.

Says it all really, Will is traded for a pick 20 higher than Mitch.
Lowest pick traded is pick 79?

I don't see why we couldn't have got a pick upgrade rather than a pointless late pick. Sheesh swapping picks 73 for 61 would've been been better.

LOL SEN have no idea. They were sure if we had salary cap issues  ::).

Agree with your "woopee" sentiment MT.  For shytes and giggles here are some of the 'better' 79+ picks over the past 10 years (not including Rookie upgrades):

2010 - 90 Ryan Gamble St Kilda, 103 Dean Polo St Kilda
2009 - 91 Matt Maguire Brisbane
2007 - Picks only went to 75
2006 - 79 Jesse White Sydney, 82 Aaron Edwards Nth Melb, 86 David Rodan Port Adelaide
2005 - Picks only went to 76
2004 - Picks only went to 78
2001 - 81 David Johnson Geelong

There were quite a few others but not many new players, almost all were retreads.  Couple of wins in that lot but the pickings were generally slim!  :pray

should have made them take Jackson as well!

my first thoughts were strange trade  :huh

but if you think about it's probably about his worth.

What is it that stops mitch from being a very good footballer? Between his ears?

...and in the middle of the year he was granted leave of absence to sort his poo out and decide whether he wanted to play league football.

good luck to sydney with him.
