Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[Hawked Wings]

It makes sense if we have a RFA in the gun for 2025.

From a quick looking looks like Andy Brayshaw, LDU, Noah Balta are all RFAs

I think Darcy Fogarty is too?

Hope the afl don't reneg on the new ruck rule anytime soon, getting rid of reeves would come back to bite us

Eade and Healy already calling for it:

The 2024 rule change former AFL coach wants scrapped next season

“I think it’s taken the art of ruck work out of it and the tallest player wins it.”

But their argument is that tallest player always win.......

Looking at some of the trade hypo's posted here that add Reeves to upgrade our pick 30 to pick in mid-20's, I would disagree with the bolded part. Lots here value him for pick in 40's and hence such trades.

That's even after seeing the Soldo trade that from a points perspective put him at pick 16.

I think he is worth a pick in late 20's as a minimum while Serong & Finn should be early 20's at a minimum if they are on the table.

None of this is about winning trades just valuing players at similar or under to how their peers are valued in the same year or immediate past. I am ok with losing some trades for the greater good.

Yeah, that's fair. I just don't take much notice of what posters hypothetical trades are I guess. My point was more, I don't think we will throw him into a trade as steak knives. If he goes, it will be because he is offered a better deal and playing opportunity elsewhere.

How I’m imagining SYL feels when he sees the topic come up again:

They should, they just need to be strong enough to hold off their opponent and they're pretty much guaranteed to win.
