News 2019 Rumour File - discuss rumours here! (Part 2)

[hey shorty]

We don't have access to the high end talent this year that's the point

There's high end talent there, but Rowell and Anderson are better than anyone from last year.

 

[ams4crows]

McAsey and Jackson will be two we look heavily at 12 if still there.

Day or Rivers with 18

Rantall with 23

Guy in the blumour thread saying campo will be at Carlton next year. Fingers crossed he’s right.

Do we dare dream.

David Wildy on AA said the same thing a few days ago

 

[Shaz2012]

I'd prefer a pick inside the 10 and 14.

So 9 and 16 for 10 and 14? Why bother.

 

[King Elvis]

Lot of blokes want to play under Ratten it seems.

And we don’t even have a coach.

Absolute shambles.

Pick 4 for Pick 12, 18 and 2020
1st

On trade 12 & 18 to Sydney for Pick 5 (gives them multiple picks to throw at Essendon for Daniher).

I’d be okay with that play. I don’t know anything about the specifics of the depth of the draft but I find it hard to get my head around trading 9 & 19 only to split it for 12, 18 and a likely pick in the teens next year.

More 7 than 9.

Not sure we would get it mind you. It gets us around the SA lads range but that's it. The next year's first is of more interest

 

[hey shorty]

Absolute shambles.

Again, neither did the Dogs a few years back. Worked for them.

That works, but Sydney could do that themselves.

Can we 1st round pick swap with them again next year?

 

[Elite Crow]

The only thing that makes me think it's a good idea (2 things actually) is it will probably get us Stephens and Gould as it's right in their zone. Plus it adds a first rounder next year to add to 2 last year and 2 this.

I'd be deferring this one to Hamish.

No it wouldn’t, we pick after Port who would pick up Stephens.

We are worse off than we would have been had we not done the Carlton swap if we end up giving a second back.

Besides unless we rank every player the same from 3-20, which we wouldn’t, we are giving up first crack at our first choice

I'm not so sure they'd hit Stephens actually, especially if they land Fantasia.

I'm keen on next year's first rounder, or maybe a Hately as part of the deal.

There is always that.

Ones a forward, the other a mid. Fantasia won’t have any bearing.

Next years first will be anywhere from 14-20, if we give back 23 this year then that’s pretty neutral. Of course Hately is a different story but he’s not being discussed as an option.

We do have to remember this is Mark Stevens, he's unlikely to be right.

I'm not entirely comfortable with it on face value.

Oh and Port wouldn't get Fanta in as a forward.

 

[Crow till I die]

Don't mind it, especially if it gets us Luko next year, but would prefer to get first rounders with Keath and Greenwood trades bundled with our seconds

We still might

 

[Crouch#44]

I hope we keep pick 4...

Sounds like reid has no faith in keeping a top 5 victorian

 

[BACCS]

How on earth would any journo know about a pick swap this early anyway? They dont, they’re making shit up. The pick swap wouldn’t happen until draft night anyway, so no way a trade like that would be close to set in stone yet.

 

[GrommoT]

Can we 1st round pick swap with them again next year?

 

[rabidcrow]

yeah, I’d actually think this would be better as well.

Pick 14, Hately and a 3rd round pick for pick 4.

More like 12 18 and Hateley for 4 only. Assuming Melbourne don’t bid on Green GWS get 2 top 5 picks - their pick and then Green which they will match with lower bids, from doing this trade - elite talent. They do this well, continue rolling their assets into tip end picks ( think Taranto)

 

[Danger in Texas]

I'd do 12, Hately/Bonar and their 2020 1st for pick 4. If history is to go by, the loser of a grand final is never as good the year after. Anything else is a loss for mine

 

[BACCS]

Take this as gospel (from someone who has spoken directly to Reid about this), we did the pick swap last year for a shot at Anderson, which hinged on Carlton finishing bottom 2 obviously. A gamble worth taking given their history, and didn’t expect the ridiculous concessions given to the GC.

The quality of the draft from 3-20 is very even and if we truly believe the talent we want is likely to fall to a teens pick, then the trade makes sense (which is probably complete bs right now anyway).

 

[SuperBashBros]

We arent stopping at the end of that trade. I would presume we would keep trying to get lower down the order on GWS picks with our later ones or deal next years picks.

Could end up looking something like 3 inside 15.

Get the best KPD, ruck and mid? Just spitballing...
