Mega Thread 2018 Trade Period Discussion part 2! (cont. in Part 3 - link in OP)

[Freshj]

Was told by someone in the know that today there's was going to be a flurry of activity from all clubs. It will likely unfold throughout the day. Its expected that clubs are going to discuss picks and players. Make of that what you will

 

[GrommoT]

The so called football media experts never look at this to determine how good a club is at doing this. Happy to focus on the value we loose but never talk about the value we create from virtually nothing. Happy for us to continue to fly under the radar.

Trouble is ... how much longer can we keep doing this when Hamish eventually retires? Does Hamish have a Padawan in training?

[Kane McGoodwin]

Yeah good points, there’s also the question of how much has recruiting/development advanced in the past 5 years, vs 10 years vs 20. How really relevant is data on drafting that is 5-10 years old?

Re your last point, this is one argument I’ve brought up previously for trading up. No point bringing in 4 high draft picks if you can’t give them adequate exposure. But this then opens up the discussion of would we then be better off trading 16 and 21 for future picks though? Instead of upgrading 8 and 13...

Or we bring in 4 quality young players to develop, 1 or 2 of which we trade out for even more value if we deem excess to our needs or they want out given we usually lose a best 22 player per year... Or they allow us to trade out other best 22 players.

Reid open to 8 and 13 for 4, Simon Lethlean - no

Is this from that panel? Didn't think Lethlean was there

He's eating breakfast there. McClure asked Reid on the dot, Reid said he was open to it, then Lethlean said no off-camera. Then Connors basically did the verbal equivalent of draft board shitposting, telling Reid "you needs to do better for pick 4! Some great players there!".

Must've asked someone else it they were Simon would they do it...

Edit. Clairified above

He's eating breakfast there. McClure literally asked Reid on the dot, Reid said he was open to it, then Lethlean said no off-camera. Then Connors basically performed the equivalent of verbal draft board shitposting, telling Reid "he needs to do better for pick 4! Some great players there!".

Ah K .. not exactly a negotiation process then!

But we know the answer, I'm just not sure our club trusts the players over those already in the role.

Someone posted the over 30s list and some of this development has to happen in the seniors. The timing is critical so there is a seamless transition rather than a speed bump

if a young player is good enough in their first year we will see them in the AFL team next year That does not mean all our draftees from the draft will play AFL next year.

Would GC take both Kings at 2&3 ??

 

[FR0GGY]

Interesting Reid let slip that we approached Bryce to come home in 2016

Simon is hardly going to say yes there and then even if he was open to it.

I have no faith in Reid. PA has given up a it bit has blown us out of the water.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Reid also said in jest that he's looking forward to the S.A boys wanting to come home after 2 years. Was tongue in cheek but just gives the clubs something to think about...

I have faith in Reid that he won't have to give a great hand to move up 4 spots for one player

Give Hammish our draft hand and back him in

Blown us out of the water ??

Dont see why you don't have faith in JR either.

You do remember Reid turning a 1st round pick, a 3rd round pick and a Rookie Pick into 4 x 1st round picks and change right?

Would have thought that buys a little faith

A lot of people can't see beyond individual deals

A lot of people can't see beyond individual deals

A lot of people just want to move up the draft order and don't put have care for what we might need to give away

If there's an opportunity for us to move up I'd like to explore it but don't want to spend 4 picks to do it

Soooo....just like trade period?

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Well played Reidy

A great and deliberate comment by Reid

IMO the club is very confident that if they don't get Luko in the draft they will get him down the track

Sorry, but how’s that inside info .... that’s pretty obvious I would have thought
