In hindsight the Pelchin & Richardson will look back on this trade period and realise they got greedy and arrogant! There is no way Petracca will be more value to the team than both Lever & Ahern or Wright & Laverde. Carlton got Judd did that garuantee sucess, a short sighted and poor decision in my view.

Re: So the truth comes out why we didn't accept picks 4 and
I have the same thoughts aswell, who knows Petracca could be anything & obviously they thought GWS would do anything to get there hands on pick 1 but 4 & 7 is a good offer, its just if they really wanted pick 21 back aswell then NO DEAL imo.WinnersOnly wrote:In hindsight the Pelchin & Richardson will look back on this trade period and realise they got greedy and arrogant!

Re: So the truth comes out why we didn't accept picks 4 and
No magnifisaint it has been proven over ever draft that unless they are an exceptional key forward, the No 1 pick has not been the best player in the draft. When you have two chances at players in the top 7 common sense dictates that you have a far better likelihood of getting two top quality players (which we need) than 1. There is also a strong likelihood that 4 or 7 will progress to be a better player than 1.magnifisaint wrote:Thats just your opinion.

Re: So the truth comes out why we didn't accept picks 4 and
From 2000 on - bold is the better side of 1 vs 4 & 7. No bold means a tie/can't decide.
2000 Riewoldt vs Livingston & Angwin
2001 Hodge vs Polak & Hale
2002 Goddard vs Walsh & Mackie
2003 Cooney vs Ray & Tenace
2004 Deledio vs Tambling & Lewis - I'd say Lewis, but the wasted time and effort on Tambling would see this a tie overall.
2005 Murphy vs Kennedy & Ryder
2006 Gibbs vs Leuenberger & Selwood - when Carlton get first pick the whole system falls down!
2007 Kreuzer vs Morton & Palmer - tie
2008 Watts vs Hartlett & Rich - none have come on, but I'd take Rich
2009 Scully vs Morabito & Sheppard - not a fan, but Scully is better than those two combined.
2010 Swallow vs Gaff & Caddy
2011 Patton vs Hoskin - Elliot & Haynes
Too early to call on 2012/13 but out of interest:
2012 Whitfield vs Toumpas & Wines - but I'd take Wines atm
2013 Boyd vs Bontempelli & Aish - I'd take Bont & Aish atm
So, unless you are Carlton or Melbourne, it would appear Pick One as the better option. of course this ignores a lot of quality that went as pick 2 or 3, or 5 or 6 - but you could just as easily say Pick one if another team, would have taken them more likely than pick four.

I don't think we had 4 picks if we traded. How about giving us the 2 you would take instead of 4.

Re: So the truth comes out why we didn't accept picks 4 and
We could just as easily end up with one of your guys with 21 which they wanted back anyway. After pick 4 there is a huge mass of similarly even players. Guys like Goddard and Lamb have been top 5 in some phantom drafts and as late as 30s picks in others. I don't think 7 and 21 will have that much different chances of a gun. outside the top 4 or so it's a lottery up to about pick 30. I personally think it would be weak to swap pick one to spread the risk. It's something that doesn't come along everyday. It's like swapping a date with Miranda Kerr with your mate and taking his mum and sister to the movies to increase your chance of getting lucky.
Re: So the truth comes out why we didn't accept picks 4 and
Reading all these posts makes me realize why St Kilda has drowned in mediocrity for their entire 150 year history. Actually it's not mediocrity it's is down right crapiness. Twenty seven wooden spooks in 118 years. I think the Petracca connection with Richo played a role but the other factor was the Pelican and co were afraid to pull the trigger. They went the safe option. As I said in another post, you must dare to win and we (Pelican) didn't dare.

You're the only one drowning in mediocrity. You made a big call and as usual, provided nothing to back it up with. The Essendon forum seems a much better fit for someone like you.citywest wrote:Reading all these posts makes me realize why St Kilda has drowned in mediocrity for their entire 150 year history.

They never offered 4 & 7 only.
Alan knows the Petracca family, not well, I assure you it has nothing to do with him getting selected, if anything it has Petracca having to impress more to get it over the line.
It is not Alan Richardson's decision either who gets picked.
He coaches the team that the recruiting department put together.
Some of the garbage on this site is insane.
I think even if they had traded 1 for 4 and 7 some fans would have cracked it anyway. To exchange pick one the offer would have to be unmissable just to sell back to the members.
i for one would have cracked it big time and i'm not the only one that would have....s*** trade...gws found out that we couldn't be bent over...

Re: So the truth comes out why we didn't accept picks 4 and
Fair enough but you get a lot more credibility if you just said you made everything because you wanted it to happen. You may end up right but you could also end up wrong. We were losing 21 and 1 for 4 and 7. Doesn't make it an open and shut case that we should have taken it at all. Maybe the most courageous thing was keeping pick one.citywest wrote:Reading all these posts makes me realize why St Kilda has drowned in mediocrity for their entire 150 year history.

As p66 said, made it up now running with a tenuous straw man argument about Richo having a connection with Petracca because his prediction was completely incorrect
Oh no Richo is going to make us take the standout player in the TAC.
Oh no - what a disaster.
