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

Could have died 3 years ago and have only had one cigarette in my life and yes I would try a bong now. Trust me you have a different outlook on life.

Huffing on laughing gas is something that everyone needs to experience.

 

[hey shorty]

Speed is probably not a good idea as it raises heart rate. Ice is shit.
Weed is fine.
Anything stronger isnt worth it.
I also had a heart attack about 5 years ago.

How can you not have come across weed? I am also in my 50's and it was everywhere growing up. You couldnt avoid it.

I couldnt even avoid it in my dad's backyard.

Try everything (within reason) once, I say.

I suspect weve already agreed to part with 8 and 13 but I reckon we want something other than 4.

We have been very coy about it, and we have plenty of time to do it.

Coy, yes.....they are waiting to see if Rankine is still there during the draft, if he is gone, likely keep the picks.

 

[Sanders]

I've heard people say it mate and I was skeptical, but had it confirmed today. Unfortunately it is the case. I dont know what the issue is, but crows aren't crazy about him. Take it or leave it

Lol. No you didn’t

Hately better production, better outside game, more consistent, more running capacity, better outside game.

Dawkins has far better burst speed, better skills and arguably a more advanced, if inconsistent coal face midfielders game.

Both equal as forward targets imo.

I prefer Hately, but that's partly due to being south Australian and partly due to having runs on the board. Dawkins the higher ceiling.

Would take Hately from ~10 and Dawkins from ~13, so splitting hairs really.

Would you need both? Presumably they'd compete for the same spot

 

[hey shorty]

I'm not sure we will, I mean what if he makes it to Ports pick and we have to deal with them

 

[Runnin Blue]

I still get the flashbacks.

 

[ABAB]

Hombsch isn’t worth trading 5 to 6. This part doesn’t need to be done.

Isolated, this deal isn't worth it but to get the other deals done, it's needed.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Just watching Trade Lowdown. In what universe is Steven May worth pick 5. Maybe 20-30. Crazy times ahead.

 

[Sanders]

Well I've had the opposite confirmed, so there ya go.

Cocker spaniels, fight!

 

[Crow_68]

Got a new job I had to focus on. Couldn’t resist with the excitement this time of year.

Fascinating to see what we do over the next few weeks. I hope we don’t try and trade up just to outdo Port when we won’t even get the guy we wanted in Luko.

Obvious we aren’t after Rankine with the blokes we have picked up.

Let Hamish go to the draft with a decent hand. He has earned that right.

And if you were Gold Coast there is no way you would consider trading 2 or 3.

Agree, would much rather go 8, 13 and 16 rather than 4 and 16.

So who are Port chasing? Assume it’s Rankine.

Surely if GC lose May, they will look at B.King to fill a need. Although the pick up of Collins today may change that.

Rozee seems to have his head screwed on and I think he is the lowest flight risk of the SA boys.

I think it will pan out as:
1. Walsh
2. Luko
3. Rozee
4. M. King
5. B. King
6. Rankine
7. Smith

I am genuinely excited by what Hamish can do with our picks.

Contracted and a very good defender, even a solid forward in a pinch.

I wouldnt have said 5, but 10-15.

Its Rankine, get him in there to replace Wingard.

 

[MRB37]

Reckon there's a good chance we work out what it'll cost to get pick 4 from the Saints, but not do the deal until draft night so we know what we're getting.

I reckon we know what it costs already but we will take the time to decide whether we want to pay it

If Hombsch helps them get 5 that would suck.

First off we did the unnecessary swap with Gold Coast for 68 and let Francou get there, where is the goodwill back from GC?

Wow. Amazing if that deal gets done.

 

[pjcrows]

Here we go.

 

[spexau]

I'll believe it when I see it. There always seems to be 1 megadeal every year that falls flat on its face.

 

[1990crow]

Here we go.

Picks 2 + 3 to Adelaide or GTFO!

I reckon port will have the for sale sign up before then for pick 4

 

[Morning_Fog]

Reckon there's a good chance we work out what it'll cost to get pick 4 from the Saints, but not do the deal until draft night so we know what we're getting.

If we do that, we take the risk the price increases. On draft pick, pick 4 becomes a premium pick and holds far less needs to the Saints. Meaning it will cost us more to get them to trade it.

No way I see pick 4 costing the same tomorrow as it would draft night.

 

[ADL9798]

Reckon there's a good chance we work out what it'll cost to get pick 4 from the Saints, but not do the deal until draft night so we know what we're getting.

And what if Port also work out what it'll cost to get pick 4, and have the same idea? It's not a completely risk free strategy. Yes we would know who we're getting with that pick, but there's no guarantee another club won't trump our offer on the night.

This won't happen.
