Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[butlers hawks]

Watch the Tiges hand their B&F to Rioli and have Bolton poll really high to inflate their trade value…

to be fair...not many stealing votes

Watch the Tiges hand their B&F to Rioli and have Bolton poll really high to inflate their trade value…

Before they were rumoured to leave these are the I would have expected to be in their top 5 anyway.

 

[Hawkers Hero]

The real question is - will Purple come out and say trading Rioli/Bolton/Baker/Lynch etc is a "form of tanking"

No. Pretty sure he's come out in a few instances recently to support it.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

My thoughts were that with Lewis out for the bulk of 2025, Gunston good for say 15 games there is an opportunity to play Serong for 8 or so games as we need three talls. Depth will be crucial for a prolonged flag tilt, same as across every line.

Agree that depth will be crucial.

If all goes well we have the following KPD/Third Talls:

• Barrass
• Frost
• Sicily
• Scrimshaw
• Battle
• Weddle
• McCabe
• Serong *
• Phillips *
• Blanck *
• DGB *

* could potentially be looking elsewhere, delisted, or injured for a while. Weddle may be moved up the ground (hopefully).

KPF/Third Talls:

• Lewis
• Chol
• Dear
• Gunston
• Weddle (?)

Hawthorn: Bad
Richmond: Good

 

[JZedd]

Imagine our fwd line with Moore, Ginnivan, Watson AND Bolton. Scary prospect.
Nice to day dream.

No it will be a revolutionary list strategy that is bold and has never been done before and they should be applauded.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

The real question is - will Purple come out and say trading Rioli/Bolton/Baker/Lynch etc is a "form of tanking"

No, he will say they need to do it and probably reference what we did as a success story - and that will be his round-about way of acknowledging that he was wrong with that.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Imagine our fwd line with Moore, Ginnivan, Watson AND Bolton. Scary prospect.

That would be ridiculous, especially with MacDonald playing off the HFF too.

 

[RX Hawk]

The thing that excites me most about Barrass, is what it frees up Weddle to do.

Frees up Sicily too. Imagine both of them running free.

What does the Lizard have to do with this? Is he up for grabs?

 

[kazzooka]

Is it a straight swap for Barrass and DGB?

Now way, Denver is nearly equal to Barrass already, only short 1 s, and has a whole extra surname too.

100%

 

[TylerDurden]

Saints delisted Seb Ross.

 

[user33]

Battles exit interview is now next week

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Saints delisted Seb Ross.

Will he get a gig elsewhere? Maybe North if they are desperate for experience.

Wonder what happens to B. Crouch and Jones.

 

[Chubbs25]

Battles exit interview is now next week

Thats fine. He wont say hes coming till the season done anyways. I was shocked when the barrass new broke

 

[Hawker55]

The eagles would not give a F1 for baker. My god. That’ll be a top 3 pick.

They’ll give the first rounder they get from us for Baker. Whether they should or not is another question - they need young players more than him you’d think

 

[Iceman!]

Would love the club to offer him a two year extension as a show of faith.
One year and people will justify bashing him by saying the club doesn't have faith in him- give him two and shoot a rocket up him.

I hope not, we have shown faith and keeping him at all is doing the same. It is go time for him to show he is worthy of any more investment. Offering him anything more than 12 months is irresponsible list management imo.

 

[Sixpence]

People saying Barrass will be a 1st round pick and some more, and has had Injuries issues.

Lewis before his knee, No club is going to pay a first round pick for Lewis with his injuries issues.

What's the difference?

If a club wants someone bad enough they will pay what they need to get it done.

Aren't they? Are you sure about that?
