Hello Shinboners!

The embedded resources below are kept up to date by the trade board mods (as much as possible – we are human after all). Enjoy!

CT: Do you know who you want if you stay at pick 2 and 3?
BR: Yeah we do.

Harley Reid.

 

[speedy]

Reading between the lines, Brady all but confirmed Comben to defence.

I think it will help him stay on the park. Play CCJ forward & X ruck. At least by the end of 2024 Clarko will know exactly where we stand with our talls.

Biggest revelation so far is that Gresham will be on $700k a year.

That’s astonishing money for such mediocre production.

[wazza03]

Haha the scum just spent $1.5M on Mcinjured and Gresham. Boy oh boy!

It’s the smart play. It also tells West Coast that the ball is in your court as well.

As it should be, if I'm the WC list team I'd be looking at how they can get access to as many of Curtain, Hardeman, Tholstrop, and Collard as they can.

It probably takes at least 3 teams to be involved, but that's what I would try to orchestrate if I was them.

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Doesn’t sound like Haynes is going to happen.

Why? Because Brady didn’t spill all our deepest darkest secrets 5 days out from deadline day?

 

[R00StaR]

So we get instant upgrade on McNugget and get pick 3 for him.

Just means we're happy where we're at and have the whip hand. If GWS want a salary dump that works for us we're all ears.

It could also be because the Haynes salary cap dump is entirely a Big Footy fantasy wank.

 

[gustaaf]

Sounds like Brady doesn't think they can get pick 1 done and is happy with pick 2 and 3.

That makes me feel better. We don't have to be desperate considering we're already sitting on a straight flush and desperation almost always leads to overpaying. The Eagles are sitting on a pair of Aces and will become increasingly desperate in the hope of upgrading to three of a kind. If they approach us we can offer them what we consider the minimum is that WCE might accept in their desperation and we can walk away if they don't accept it. It has to be on our terms or it doesn't happen. We'll never get another trade hand like the one we have this year, so let's make the most of it.

To be fair, it's not an instant upgrade as it might take Chom a while to get to Ben McKay's level of understanding of modern defensive structures and how to play the role. But hopefully by the end of January...

Looks likely that trades for Pick 7 and 8 are less likely this trade period. This could help lessen the cost of Pick 1 and still give us the ability to get say Pick 8 if the Cats don't like the option available.

 

[Deleted member 98541]

Aimed for 4, nope, then 11, nope, and finally secured 14.

Better than not getting 14, but dees and dogs overpaying was a setback.

Bgfooty needs to bury the talk of "we won't bid on Walter" as some sort of path to preferential treatment.

 

[king rising]

We need to get Reid, it’s that simple. He is going to be a superstar of the comp. Hoping we haven’t pulled the pin just yet

Look at Brady - has made his moves and now is sitting back playing a straight bat and letting WC make the next move - this is getting better and better each day!

It's all a game of poker Kingy.

If we end up with 2, 3, 8, and 17 on draft night courtesy of some live trading, then that looks to be better than anything involving Harley Reid.

 

[Shermanator]

Reading between the lines, Brady all but confirmed Comben to defence.

My wish comes true..

Pick 8 could be in play on draft night.

Geelong are hoping that Sanders slides to their pick as they need another gun Midfielder.

If he goes before pick 8 they could be open to splitting the pick with us.

who has previously missed an entire season due to an Achilles which has also robbed him of any explosiveness he might have had before

Probably another $300-400K on a 35 year old ruckman who is perpetually horny, can't ruck alongside anyone else over 185cm, and will probably stifle the development of two younger ruckmen like Bryan and Draper (if the latter's hip/groin doesn't disintegrate in the next few years)

And they also want to get in the lesser Duursma to assumedly average 11 touches on a wing and do his best impression of Cale Morton

AFL Trades 2023: Why free agency compensation may force West Coast Eagles to trade out pick No.1​

Spoiler: Full Article

​

Forget the questions about the go-home factor for Harley Reid.

Forget the hype around Daniel Curtin.

The real reason West Coast may be forced to trade pick No.1 is this year’s free agency compensation.

The Eagles have been the talk of the trade period as clubs, or more specifically North Melbourne, chase a way to pry the top selection out of their hands.

West Coast are adamant it’s going to take a Godfather offer to get them to trade it and there were reports they wanted picks 2 and 3 from the Kangaroos, although they won’t publicly put a price on it.

But the real reason they may look to trade it is because their next pick in this year’s draft could come closer to 30 rather than 19 - where it started before the free agency period opened last week.

Normally when a team finishes last they get two picks inside the top 20 but the AFL has given out some incredible concessions to clubs for losing players in the past 10 days.

North Melbourne got pick 3 for losing free agent Ben McKay to Essendon, while Adelaide got pick 20 after Tom Doedee went to Brisbane and finally, Josh Gresham’s move to the Bombers has landed St Kilda pick 21.

Add in the end-of-first-round compensation pick the Kangaroos got from the AFL last month as part of a concessions package and West Coast’s second pick has gone from 19 to 23 already.

And it is more than likely to slide even further with Gold Coast arming themselves with a plethora of picks from the second round onwards to match expected first-round bids on their top academy prospects in Jed Walter, Ethan Read and Jake Rogers.

This means the Eagles’ second-round pick could slide all the way to 26.

If Fremantle get picks 19 and 21 in trades for Lachie Schultz and Liam Henry, they could have two picks before the Eagles get their second - despite winning seven more games.

For West Coast, this is problematic as they continue the biggest rebuild in their club’s history.

Draft experts believe the talent slips heavily after the first 10 picks and even more so after the first round.

It’s not an exact science. You only have to look at Fremantle snaring Lachie Neale with pick 58 before he goes on to win two Brownlow Medals to know you can find a gem anywhere in the draft.

But every year the data clubs and recruiters are getting on prospects is getting better and better. From private school footy to club land and the Under-18 Championships - AFL clubs have a better idea than ever of what is out there.

This is why there is little doubt that Reid is going to make an AFL team even better, but West Coast may be better off trying to find a way to get two picks inside 10 to add to their squad.

If North Melbourne can somehow get their hands on Geelong’s pick 8, then a trade that involves that and No.3 as well as a promise to not draft Curtin might be the best result for West Coast.

It would give them three picks inside 30, something they seriously need as they look to load up on talent in this year’s draft.

Some fans may be upset on missing out on Reid, but it could be risk worth taking because of free agency.
