Let me translate... Owies was worth fuck all in the trade, but the Eagles are better off paying for him instead of getting Owies for free. WTAF!!!? @traderadio@AFL@wes
AFL media says "Likewise Owies. The small forward's cost would have been lower in the trade, but he still appeared to tip the scales in favour of the Eagles pulling the trigger on this deal, despite his potential availability later as a delisted free agent" @AFLTrade
@CalTwomey Not so even that #3 = #12!
Should be:
WEST COAST
GET
Baker for future 2nd round or walk to PSD
Owies as delisted free agent or pick >60
Keep #3 and get a 10-year gun
@ScottElderfiel1 @godra61 No shit. They'd be multiple premiership winners by now if they just followed average punter advice, let alone genuine trading and drafting skill.
@adelcrows@godra61 I look at it this way: Noble woth pick 29 barely (prob less) . Lukosius equals Pies first round (2025 pick 12 - 20 gamble). So they've basically swapped 2024 #13 for #36 and #39 in this draft. Gold Coast dumb move yet again.
@kittyempire666 Your review of the J&MC memoir was shit hot. "Violently sandblasting a core of yearning sweetness" should be on the back of their next t-shirt. Then I looked at the byline and wondered: is your name a Big Black reference? Honest question.
@russell_183 Fair comparison for Josh. Reflects his talent. There's not a stat for shirking the contest though. There's no denying Rachele has an issue there.
We have players retiring on their 20s because of concussion related illness. But all the commentators calling the #AFLPowerCrows game can talk about is will Houston miss finals. How about some empathy for Rankine. Disgusting.
@RonniSalt@sussanley Unbelievably good post. Only house @sussanley is interested in fixing though are her own taxpayer funded ones https://t.co/jAYyuflUXw
@MChandlerMather You've done some great work, Max. But base political chest thumping puts people off. Why characterise as "caving in" and "backflipping"? Simply recognise Labor's response as a good decision, while also acknowledging the significant role Greens played. We're smart enough to get it
@lenoretaylor Pathetic piece really. Where's the remorse for wasting his years in parliament? Climate change, integrity, women's rights anyone? He was a willful member of the worst government in my living memory. Daylight second. Trying to claim marriage equality as a win... is that a joke?
