Jed Lamb trade - Poll

[CureTheSane]

So here's the scenario...

GWS will not bend and refuse to budge from a pick 48 for Lamb trade.

What do you think the Swans should do?

For me, it was put really well in another thread...

We just got reamed. We could have elected not to trade either and they would only have been able to take one in the PSD. What trade would we expect for 1st round draft pick with 12 games AND a premier ruckman at the height of his career? I'll say it again, we just got reamed.

In trying to 'do the right thing for another player (Mumford) we've lost power big time.

And this is why personalities and friendships and loyalties should always be considered, but not carry any great weight in business transactions.

As we watch Lamb kicking to Mummy for a goal against the Swans there may be a tinge of regret...

Not much Swans can do. Not going to get any of GWS first four selections (1,2,21,22) and Swans would want to avoid any selection after GWS 6th selection (75,76,93,111). So at this stage GWS 5th selection (48) seems like the best of a bad situation. Unless the swap gets more complicated with other teams or players added in.

Don't take it, should have let Mummy go through and make them sweat... These picks are not acceptable and of little use pick 48 would be a rookie promotion at best

I look at this and think the swans will park this in their memory banks for future dealings with GWS. They are quite well known for doing good deals and doing right by other clubs and by the players that want to move on. Watch this space., Next year it will be a different scenario.

We might well use the pick. We have now lost 5 listed players and brought in Buddy and Perris on the rookie list. We probably need4 or 5 picks in hte draft

Graciously take 48.

[dimelb]

Lamb was a first round pick, albeit a late one, and has shown he has a real future. He's worth a lot better than 48, and GWS could give us twentysomething and keep their first pick. But I doubt it will happen.

Let him enter the PSD. We don't need to be nice to GWS.

No more Mr Nice Guy.. PSD or a decent pick thanks..

Not much point in being a dog in the manger..if he goes in PSD we get zilch. 48 is a lot better than that..

Well, the point I would make is that if we constantly accept less than what a player is worth, then we won't be regarded as 'fair traders' by the other teams, but as 'patsy's'
