2019 Trade thread

[jackess]

Given that we have so many picks this year surely we have something up our sleeves to trade up.

In addition to what others have said, it's also about managing the salary cap, not just for next season but subsequently. Trading is as much about contract and cap issues than the simple face value transaction of players for picks.

Plus Noah Answerth says hi.

Should I mention the 1001 not so successful after pick 20 draftees?

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Seems like we've maintained a lot of picks this year but not corresponding list space, wonder what sort of pick swap we have on the cards?

Picks can be swapped for a while yet, so don't be in a rush to find out...

 

[jonnobackpocket]

Got Answerth at pick 55 last year … just saying.

It’s called an abnormality.

Can't wait to see what Ah Chee does as a Lion.

You've gone through the draft years and graded each selection and their careers I take it. Or was that a slight exaggeration, like your initial claim that picks after 20 are worthless?

But you've ignored the other part of my post. Any comments on that?

Our 16 and 21 for Hawks 11 and 42?

I hope the only players of the experienced depth we are moving on are the speculated probables ie. Lewy Taylor, Tom Cutler and Ryan Bastinac.

Hopefully we keep the likes of Allen Christensen, Nick Robertson, Josh Walker, Ryan Lester as depth.

We need a bit of experienced depth in case we have a not so good injury run in 2020, can't rely on our group of 2018 and 2019 draftees to step straight up if injury occurs.

I'm guessing at this stage we don't rate our Academy stocks next year.

 

[royboys4eva]

If we can keep Ah Chee fit I think he will be a very good player for the club. Got him for basically a future second round pick. Good work.

Would have thought a second would have been enough but I guess by being future picks it takes more on top.

Then again the club has shown me it knows better than me the last two years with Cameron, Neale, McCarthy, etc

 

[davemc_lions]

you expect someone else to move later tonight. Be a couple I assume we move on rather then delist.
So far only freed up 2 spots. 3 if Cutler.
Big O goes up. 2 spots then free rookie if Basti goes.
So could downgrade 2 players and get 4 main list spots
Still more picks them spots

 

[Fagenslions36]

Most compromised draft ever next year that’s a win . Reckon we package up those picks now .

 

[M Malice]

Callum Ah Chee.

 

[BLions2k19]

If we keep Ah Chee injury free, I've got a feeling the trade will be an enormous steal; especially when we win the premiership next year (the future 2nd will be late 30's).

 

[davemc_lions]

yes you think 21 in this years is worth more then 36 next year. that become 55 after father and sons and NGA etc

Deal looks super reasonable imo, particularly if we stay in the top 8 next year and Ah Chee stays fit. Potential steal.

OUT
Taylor
Cutler
Hodge

IN
Ah Chee
Birchall
Ellis-Yolmen

After Cutler goes, we've freed up exactly zero.

3 have to be delisted, who will it be

 

[M Malice]

Mmmm! expecting some moving up the draft board, although that could be a long wait, it can be done right up to on the night.

There was some valid points made for sure. What were you suggesting with ‘The Answorth says hi’ part of the post? I took it as the pick we get for Taylor is likely to turn out the same? If not what did you mean. ? Yep there has been a shit load of research done on draft picks and how they all turn out. They all back my view if you were wondering.

 

[pulpdriver]

As it happened: AFL trade period, deadline day

Joe Daniher, Brad Hill, Tom Papley, Jack Martin, Zak Jones, Josh Jenkins and Josh Bruce. These are just some of the trades that need to be done, or otherwise, before 7:30pm tonight.

St Kilda get Hill and a future third-rounder. The Dockers get Blake Acres, pick 10, pick 58, a future second-rounder and a future first-rounder.

Hefty price.

 

[Biggies]

Some draft highlights and a little chat to Ah Chee for anyone interested from back in his 2015 draft year. Clearly a talented individual but seems like a good kid too.
