Fair point but I suspect they will get something back. Theres no way GWS will give their 1st next year for a 3 spot upgrade this year.
It'll be something like Pick 3 and Melbournes 2nd for GWS's 6 and next years 1st. That will leave the Giants with no 1st round but 2 2nd rounders and I think therefore they are allowed to trade 1 of those 2nds. They need picks this year for sure as their current hand will be nowhere near enough to pay for Green.
I feel like since the saints traded an early pick for Tom Lee & offloaded Big boy McEvoy, much to the displeasure of many fans, they have lost a lot of credibility in the trade space
That Hill deal is a shocker though. Reminds me of when we traded for Jordan McMahon
I think you guys are a bit harsh on the Saints.
So far they started with what pick 6 and then 76 and 82 I think.
They have traded in Howard, Ryder and Hill and traded out Pick 6, Acres and their 2nd next year with a swap of 3rd and 4ths between the Saints, Freo and Port which in all honesty probably finish within 5 or so picks of each other.
I'd say Hill, Howard and Ryder is a fairly decent return for Pick 6, Acres and a 2nd next year. Really Hill and Ryder for the picks and Howard swapped for Acres.
All about the cumulative returns rather than individual trades.
Now the salaries are a different story. $900k for Hill is out of this world.

I thought it was always Baldrick who had the cunning plans.
The issue is what they are paying these guys. Hill is now in the top bracket of highest paid footballers. Way overs...
And from what I have heard Howard hasnt come cheap either.
Yet they still dont have a standout A Grade footballer on their list.
I know what you mean, salarywise its crazy what they are paying. What are we paying Lynch? Under $1m isn't it yet Hill is getting $900k? I wouldn't have thought he was that much of a game winner.
They gave away a little more than that as well as effectively offloading Jack Steven for nothing. The other thing is it's not like the saints are in the premiership window. Optimistically they might be a 5-8th spot team next year but could also easily end up as 15th-18th.
Not sure if Ryder (old), Howard (who was still struggling to make his team's 22), & Hill are massive game changers for them...upcoming draft periods are going to look pretty grim
Yes. And what a great player he was for the Saints – Darrel Baldrick.
Especially when Stack and Pickett collect him in a 'bro' sandwich.
2 weeks away from week is a good thing, no matter what youre doing. Well in my case thats the case
Yep.... seagull, very quick blah blah blah, but a seagull nonetheless imo.
Think for a moment that Tom Lynch is on less coin apparently!
