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:

I am seen.

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

Going too hard at it:

2024 pick 13 + 2025 1st + Reeves gets Barrass + 2024 pick 23

2024 pick 30 + Serong gets St Kilda pick 24


2024 picks 24, 67 + 2025 3rd round gets Suns 2024 pick 20

2024 draft haul:

Pick 20 = Whitlock #1
pick 23 = Whitlock #2
pick 74 = Bennetts upgrade
Cody Anderson rookie*
Ky Burgoyne rookie





*convinced he'll be a massive steal.

Your first trade I think is a bit overs I thought the trade for Barrass would be those picks without Reeves so he’s essentially free.
The other trades don’t make sense as minor pick upgrades in a draft widely recognised as really deep. They are the sort of live trades (players excluded of course) where you massively overpay to get up a few spots or come back in to get a targeted player.
The St Kilda play is up the Battle offer to trigger round one and get a better pick back in a trade for someone like Serong.
We should be accumulating second and thirds and packaging up our picks to get suns or lions first if we want to trade up. Otherwise as you have ended up with just taking 2 decent picks to the draft in r2/3.

I can’t wait for Monday when we get to see the Goats Gif walking into Marvel.

Gawn was the best ruck prior to the rule change, Gawn is the best ruck now. Quality wins out.

I be honest, I'm not even really sure what the rule change was?

The change essentially means you can hold your ground with a straight arm, you couldn't before. Rucks still got away with it occasionally. Gawn used to get pinged for it a fair bit tbh.

 

[KermitJagger]

It hasn't really changed the pecking order of the rucks that much. The only players it seems to have really hurt are Tim English and Reeves, because neither are that physical.
