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

Yeah I dont tend to believe the tweets as such, but that doesn't mean the premise of them is wrong.

Weve spoken about these kids all year, weve met with them and we were also at the forefront of the inclusion of pick trading.

Whether we can get a deal done is another thing, but we will definitely be enquiring.

Purely premature excitement

 

[hey shorty]

Said this earlier but do 2 and 3 for 8,16,21,2019 first, swap future 2nd for 3rd
take 2,3,13 to the draft

They won't do that

 

[El Doederino]

I think 2 AND 3 is a bit excessive. I just want Jack

 

[Donkey Magoo]

Can we ask the AFL to trade our future first. I realise that it's against the rules but thought that I saw somewhere that you can make an application. I think that the AFL will go for it if it means that they get draft night action. Also the fact that Reid mentioned that the AFL would want draft night pick trading is a little telling.

I agree, I dont think any club in their right mind would trade both..... but they could trade 1 due to having pick 6.

No. We would have to give up more. Plus we need do keep a second for Sladojevic.
3 picks GC this year (2,3,29) for 4 this year (8,13,16,21) and swap our 2019 first for their 2019 3rd.

The AFL can make exceptions. If we have 2 firsts this year I'm sure they'll let us trade next years

 

[kirky]

The negativity on here seems to be solely based on port having slightly better picks than we do.

Just watching the last Showdown on Fox - McGovern didn’t play for us that day, Hombsch, Pittard, Polec and Wingard did.

Reckon we will be ok after the draft - get our side with less injuries and the further development of some youngsters and we will be contending again.

 

[TexForPM]

They won't do that

Swap 13 with 16

8,13,21, 2019 first?

 

[douglyzia]

Did Kornes ask Cameron whether port wanted 2 and 3 as well?

They keep letting Geelong do it. It's not like they could look at our list and say we're putting its balance in jeopardy by trading away a first round pick next year.

I want two of them.
Otherwise we drafting and pay more later.
May as well do it now.

I think the best we can hope for is one of 2,3 or 4.

From Josh himself "I barely recall my meeting with the Crows brass, but I do recall it was in St. Kilda. I remember the guys -- Matt Rendell, Hamish Ogilvie, the late Dean Bailey and David Noble -- explaining where they thought I fitted into things in Adelaide. I was somewhat pigeon-holed as a ruckman at Essendon but Adelaide saw me more of a forward and even a defender. I remember 'Bails' asking me whether I could play on Kurt Tippett and how I would go about defending him."

Why did you post something that proves you were wrong, to defend your initial claim

You said he was brought in as a defender; and the quote above demonstrates he was not!!

The amount of people who don’t read articles/interviews they post to make their point astounds me

I want Rankine now with pick 3 and back ourselves in to grab Lukosius in 12 to 24 months time.

GCS draft Lukosius at pick 2
We snag Rankine with pick 3 - 8, 13 and 16

Then in 12 months time 2019 first and 2020 future first as well. Say 16 and 18

 

[Antares]

Good on Kane. Doesn’t actually mean anything.

Doesn’t mean the Gold Coast have any intention of accepting any offer we have made. That’s assuming we have even made an offer.

There is word Gold Coast are very much into future first round picks. Make of that what you will.

 

[Sanders]

He also said there was no third club involved with McGovern.

Perhaps we do have a strategy in place.

If you can’t see the strategy, there isn’t one

I’ve got a fear the AFL are going to put something together to stop the talent drain from Gold Coast.

Right just as they recruit some good SA kids.

 

[El Doederino]

And just to contradict my last post, thoughts on trying to grab Sam Day next year as a Restricted Free Agent?

 

[Donkey Magoo]

Just watching the last Showdown on Fox - McGovern didn’t play for us that day, Hombsch, Pittard, Polec and Wingard did.

So is that a net loss or gain for them

I absolutely fear this too. We aren't getting these kids with the same ease that the vic clubs have been getting theirs.

 

[Morning_Fog]

No. His body is shot.

 

[FR0GGY]

He has to be at this stage.

Only because he’s from SA.
He wasn’t in the last interview I heard.

 

[Grooster24]

Why wouldn't you want to go on a working holiday to the gold coast with your mates for a couple of years, before you come home and get to the real business.

True. I see being drafted by GC a gap year for most kids who get drafted.

 

[FR0GGY]

There is word Gold Coast are very much into future first round picks. Make of that what you will.

Why would they want to delay their rebuild?
