The McMahon deal I agree is a worry. Simmonds and Morton we got very cheaply because they were out of contract and we used our PSD pick as leverage. Can't see why we had to give up so much to get an out of contract player, even a downgrade to their second round pick would have been a good option.
I agree with that but for some reason the clubs with early PSD picks still believe (maybe wishful thinking) that a out of contract big name or two will fall through. I'm guessing we didn't want to commit to a player and then find someone better ends up being available and we gift them to Carlton.

Yeah, I was thinking more from a trade point of view. I don't see why we didn't get McMahon a lot cheaper given he was out of contract. We got Morton for a steal, but for some reason still paid market price for McMahon. I can understand we wanted to trade so that we still had the PSD pick available, my issue is about why we had to use pick 19 to get him.

I would have thought something like a swap of second round picks, or even swapping 19 for their 3rd round pick would have been better than just a straight deal for 19. Then we would have had something like pick 38 instead of pick 51.

now grima is n ot a big name , but if there is no one on offer, he is surely a better bet than richards. i was talking to some geelong folk today and they really rate this 20yr old, and cant believe he was delisted.

maybe we should pick him , yes he is a no name burt maybe can make his name at tigerland.

just a thought

Rumour has it on the Brisbane BF board that Brennan will re-sign within 48 hours after receiving a new larger offer from the Lions.

that's not a surprise. It was all about getting the "larger" offer.

Rutten  :pray

I hope GM is over in Adelaide at the moment, shouting Rutten a Rundle Mall shopping spree, and then having him sign an agreement to join us in the PSD.  :pray

Some realistic thought about this makes me think that maybe these two teams are going to announce Fraser and Rutten as captains when they sign their new deals.

Probably crap but a BF rumour is saying we've put a big offer to Fraser. Like you wayne I don't think there'll be much on offer in the PSD and Brennan, Rutten and Fraser will all eventually re-sign.
