Mega Thread 2019 List Management, Free Agency & Trade thread #2

[CakeEater]

Now trade 58 for Heppell and we've had an awesome off season.

From the Age Live Chat:

3.09pm
Acres passes Freo medical
By Daniel Cherny
Blake Acres has passed his medical and signed with Fremantle. The Bradley Hill trade is now just a formality.

 

[walken79]

What a trashy way to put things.
We wouldn't just chuck someone on our list for the hell of it, clearly the club sees something in Blake that is worth investing in.
Hopefully he doesn't read this crap & his best footy's ahead of him.
Welcome Blake

We better not throw back a future pick in the Hill deal

I can stomach Hill for 10, future 2nd, 58 and Acres but we can't give more than Hill

 

[Tonga Bob]

Is Acres #26 jumper worthy, or do we need to convince McCarthy to wear it?

Geelong gets Jack Steven for pick 58. Wow, the Saints were bent over there!

yeah im bracing myself for us throwing in a future 3rd or something :/

Suspect he'll get #9 - given that was also his number at StK.

edit - except he wasn't, he was #8. #closeenuf

But not many as dynamic as taylor.

There has been talk of Taylor as a flight risk, and I think he could slide. There do seem to be other options, and depending on our strategy we could get a bargain.

 

[yakka man]

All trades happening one after the other has got to be one of the more stupid things.

 

[hoopdaloop]

Glad other people find jumper numbers as interesting as I do

Probably what this was in reference to

St Kilda talking about "not being able to win every deal" quite a bit in that interview.

 

[Taylor]

I think he was #8

 

[theGav56]

So effectively we’re getting 3 years from Brad Hill, Blake Acres, Pick 10, a top 30 pick, and Pick 58 for Chris Mayne?

Not bad.

I would add McCarthy to that list.











In his role as scapegoat; Mayne would have had that position sewn up.

Not really, he was going to retire if not traded

 

[freo_leo29]

Should we trade 22 for 36 37 from Cats, gives us more points to match Henry

It was an article befitting Tom Morris. Just nasty

 

[theGav56]

At the moment Melbourne have pick 3 & 8. That's it. Wiping out our next pick gives them no benefit.

So live trading pick 8 for pick 10 and a future 2nd could be on.

 

[Taylor]

It was his article.

 

[apuchar]

It was his article.

Yeah. It's what you would expect from him.

Imagine if 3pm EST was beginning of trade period and went until 7pm EST. Would have saved me a week of crap and be way more exciting

 

[yakka man]

 

[Ge3ks]

James Aish has officially requested a trade to Fremantle. Pies and Dockers to thrash out a deal now. Won’t be anything significant. Three-year deal @AFLcomau @traderadio


Noice. Hopefully for pick 90something.

I reckon we might be looking to use 22 to move up on the night. Package with a couple of 2020 picks for gold coasts 15 perhaps and later 2019 picks for points

They have all these trades going down right now and trade radio broadcasting from inside but no video feed until an hour to go when they'll be hardly any trades left. Pretty stupid.
