Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

2024 Picks



2025 Picks

Of course.
Mitchell sits down w Ward and/or MacKenzie and tells them games will be scarce since our midfield is full. West coast will play them both as starting mids plus salary bumps.

It will be tempting.

And they say ok trade me to Collingwood and we end up with a future 2nd rounder.

 

[Brant]

Baz must already be well engrained in the club if he knows we aren't signing Barrass but are definitely getting Battle. Mitchell must be letting him in on all the plans.

Roughy must've spilled the beans at the deodorant launch last week

 

[Platten44]

You keeping saying none of our players will want to go WCE but they dont have too, have you heard off 3 way trades?

West Coast won’t want 2nd rounders as steak knives for Harley Reid. If you push a player out you don’t get anywhere near their trade value. Collingwood tried to trade Treloar to the Gold Coast for a top 5 pick and the Dogs ended up getting him for a bargain.

There wont be any pushing players out just maybe some honest conversations about playing time! Anyway I think H Reid is a pipe dream

 

[Nugett]

What’s in it for Harley?

Gets Dusty’s old locker?

Yes, it’s a Hypothetical thread. West Coast won’t be trading Harley Reid in his first three years. Likely he signs a $2million contract for his 4th year and then makes a decision on his long term future at the end of 2027.

 

[Nugett]

According to Hoyney from Champion Data, Geelong have the second best youth in the league behind Gold Coast. We are 3rd

when your at a certain age you can say you feel like a new born. Pretty certain this was a convo that Danger and Hawkins had at training…

 

[flinchfree]

Weddle will play wing.

Where's Amon?

 

[The Chad and I]

It's funny that other 3-way trades have not rendered players worthless.

I think there's a propensity for cynicism on this board as much as fantasy.

Curtin wants to go back home to Perth. Eagles fans are caught in a bind.

They have to argue why it is good to let Curtin go while also stating why Crows to take whatever deal Eagles offer while doing the reverse argument for Harley.

3 way trade with hawks could unlock this knot.

IMO Curtin + a first rounder should suffice for Reid.

Crows get a first rounder for Curtin.

hawks part with 2 first rounders for Reid.

I think that gets the convo started but I reckon it'll take more to get Reid and it would likely have one or more of our young talents going elsewhere.

if it does, then it should take more to get Curtin out of Crows.

 

[Iceman!]

Lol Harley Reid. Can see this being an annual pipe dream discussion.

Can add him to the annual Noah Anderson and Finn Callaghan dreams

 

[Lickmesocks]

eagles are not rock bottom yet and need to find out who is IN for another 3 years of pain under a new coach as they begin to move out the vets and start the rebuild.

Harley Reid will be a VERY close watch as he looks to me like a very frustrated player on the ground at the moment.

 

[suedehead]

He's a WA boy. And his neck/back is Code F.

He would be crazy to uproot his family and move across the country when he is one more crunch away from not playing.

He's very close to his sister, who has just moved to Melbourne.

I reckon he will come home sooner rather than later. If not this year, when his contract expires.

They could have got more last season and got Curtin.

Where's Amon?

Probably playing in the back six like Sam’s had him doing most of the year.

I think we’ve given up on Anderson.
Callaghan is the new Anderson.

If Harley Reid says bring me home Hawks, I doubt Sam Mitchell would have any hesitation moving on some much loved players to get the deal done.

There will be heart break like the Hodge deal. But Reid is a talent worth the trauma.

Ward, MacKenzie, Lewis and others could be on the table with our first and F1.

The number of downvotes and laughs tells me it’s gonna be very entertaining if Reid wants to join us.

 

[earthworms]

Reid coming here is as likely as wizard packing his bags and moving to wce

 

[Topiary]

Almost requested a trade to Sydney last year and his sister lived in Sydney at the time, which was a big factor.

His sister is moving to Melbourne this year fwiw

I am told this is true. He has also completed our medical due diligence.

Examples?

 

[Mercy Seat]

For the 'let's just re-sign Nash and go to the draft' crowd, clearly the club are going to be going super hard at the trade table / FA this year.

[BIGHAWK23]

Nash not going anywhere
