2010 Trading and Draft Strategy

[son of dominator]

Looks as though the deal with Adelaide will be 14 and 33 for 18 and Jacobs.

thats the way I see it as well going as well

 

[Koutafidamedis]

Not the worst result seems fair to both.

 

[blues4flag]

Was hoping for Bock compo + 1st round exchange. We probably lose in that deal but it's fairly equitable.

It's ok but I think we can and will do better.

 

[Silvagnis]

Right.

Do we have a magic wand made from the horn of a Unicorn to get a better deal?

Wake up FFS!

 

[DamoESP]

General you should really stay off Bigfooty during Trade Week. One Angry Fossil.

Why limit it to just Trade Week?

 

[Azul]

Ceglar and Faulks - did we snooze and lose?

Ceglar would've been a 4th backup ruck to replace Sam. Faulks would have replaced Thornton and played against Levi during the Bullants' finals.

My initial reaction is meh so i suppose that means both sides got shafted/can be happy.

Could be worse...give Hughes a better crack at the elite and start stockpiling mid ranged talent. We've traded away oour second round picks for a few years now so probably good to get a few more bodies in.

Realistically, Jacobs wasn't worth 14 on the open market and 33 wasn't enough.

 

[Freddy Bassett]

Yes, we would love to keep Walker. We will get a very good deal for him. You Crows supporters have no idea how trade week works and it's become pretty clear that your list managers don't either.

Yeah Carlton are the masters... You seem to be cleaning up so far... And 20% of your squad want out and you cant even arrange a trade... Jacobs will be a nice pick up in the PSD

Fewer things more pathetic on here than some sad wannabe who doesn't believe a word it's writing. Next...

Maybe you can re-tweet my post as your own info.

What's "angry" about being rational in regards to trading?

Sin City thinks we're going to walk away with a pot of gold with one full day and a few hours of official trading left.

Fevola was contracted last year.

Brisbane had to pay up after Rischitelli said no to moving to Melbourne.

 

[zeeCFC]

When trade week is done, we'll look back and laugh at all this

If someone was going to say we'd turn a rookie pick into pick 14 and 33, that would be nice.

Yeah but we have to give up pick 18, so it's more like Jacobs for pick 29.

[gbatman]

if we trade jacobs for a 1st rounder I'd be satisfied. Would be great to get an extra first rounder or 2, that's how to build quality depth, a dynasty and a premiership. Not average top ups. As I've said. 1 good player is miles better than 2 or 3 average ones.

Sorry, how many players have left Adelaide this year?

 

[Sin City]

Right.

Garbage post.

We have Swann and Icke who are the best in the business and I believe they'll be looking for a better offer and they are good enough to get it off these amateurs.

Dear Freddy Bassett,
Looks like you are accustomed to taking lollies from small children, and having other people clean up your sh!t for you. How about you go to the corner of the yard and lick your own balls!

It's a fair suggestion.

You are tedious.

 

[The Toad]

You are tedious.

But he's got a cool avitar

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

And he uses a lot of paragraphs. You know, for impact.

I like paragraphs, but sometimes not in that large amount.

Day 3 Wrap:

The trades continue between other clubs, but nothing really of note that would surprise anybody. There is some other stuff on the horizon though that does have impact on our potential deals.

The following summary is a collation of press reports, solid rumours and info from my sources.

I have deleted those traded and updated the list of the players inquired about, from what clubs and rated the reactions on a temp scale - Cold, Cool, Warm or Hot.

I have set out the players that we inquired about, from what clubs and rated our chances on a temp scale - Cold, Cool, Warm or Hot.

You might notice a number of temperature amendments above. The reason behind this is a slight shift in focus to dealing with clubs that we can get trades done as opposed to dealing with clubs that are happy to play Mexican standoffs.

I am aware that there are some doubting our ability to get a positive outcome for us, but there is still plenty of time to achieve what Swicky (great description of our team) has set out to do.

Summary: It appears that 1AW to Port has big legs, either for their first rounder or a player. They have a few we could do with. It seems that we are into Clark in a big way. The Crows might cave on our demands for a quality tall in the Sauce trade. We would love that to be Talia. We should do a deal on Grigga before the Tigers give away their better pick for Houli, however they might get Thursfield out today to WA, which gives them another pick. There has been whispers that we just might cop a Morton or Jackson type instead. Santy for Bevan keeps coming up. Rumoured Hale to the Hawks should help us too, as it takes another big fella out of play for those wanting Rucks and KPP’s.
