I have to say this................................you lot are mostly sad.
3rd and 4th round picks aren't so much about the # but the points value for future trades, such as the twins. If they turn out alright (just like any pick turns out alright) then the Dow move has been worth it. We are 4 years from checking this fact, I guess.
So let's look at Dow..........Not wanted by the Club. So that is the real discussion point here. Ask Colourman, apparently, he has an opinion on Dow's worth. Along the way maybe have a dip at SOS for picking him in the first place.
His movement frees up Salary space. There were No other takers than StKilda. So the only other option was we say, 'stuff you SOS' and Dow goes into the Freebie draft and we get nothing. Yep, that's a win/win for someone's ego.
Not much business sense there at all. That would have been all emotion and no common sense.
Every supporter wants to buy low and sell high, but it doesn't always work that way. The entire system is compromised, and the rules are so Grey it is laughable. Austin is just trying to make the best out the trading maze.
Dow is not the difference between 16 and 17 and everyone on TC, except Colourman, probably understands that fact. Try to remember that in recent years the club picked up Acres, Cera and Hewitt. They go okay.
Regards Cazzesman In part, the success of the trade depends on us finishing higher than Essendon** next year.
While I acknowledge what you’re saying about the system being compromised, it’s a bit shit that we lost Setterfield & Dow in successive years for basically nothing. And the Fisher trade just made par IMO. It’s not that I rate those guys super highly, but I do think our depth is impacted.
