Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[Ned Ryerson]

A reasonable and objective view - we sure a journalist wrote this?

TOM BARRASS​

West Coast stuffed itself around by letting pick 14 slip last week and surely can’t turn down an offer built around Hawthorn’s future first and second. The Hawks have played this well and should still get their man.
VERDICT: LIKELY

i'm in shock - we have a media person actually making sense!

There are a few with a reasoned view.

Tom Morris on SEN this morning labelled West Coast the most silliest of all clubs in trade week in dealings to that point, asking far too much for Barrass and that Hawthorn had been reasonable all along.

That was before WC then proceeded to ship off their pick 3.

When you look at the picks we got for next year from Carlton (using their ladder position this year), if you add the points together you get the same number of points as pick 6. 635 points more than pick 14 is worth next year.

this west coast trade will go down as the second worst of all time, really quite funny

west coast supporters will clench everytime pick 3 gets the ball. long term burns are the best

No one comes close to Gold Coast, but Port and West Coast giving it a fair crack!

 

[Hawked Wings]

Could’ve had Sheezel too

IF Harley doesn't see a lot of other young talent coming through, he is going to request a trade to geelong.

They werent silly trades. The AFL have oversight to stop clubs making detrimental trades.

I think we've put a lot of work into him behind the scenes.
If TB doesn't happen this year, I'm expecting 6 picks (mostly firsts and seconds) to be offered for him come next years trade period.

Have to be at least 6 firsts if TB is worth 2....
It remains to be seen whether Harley isn't just another athletically gifted ball butcher, value could peak next year.

 

[FB19]

Does anyone find it odd that the Tigers just as they need to rebuild see their 2 former coaches get new coaching gigs at clubs that proceed to recruit their players and pay massive overs for said players?

 

[Nugett]

If it does happen, no doubt the media idiots will say Geelong’s future fourth is enough with a stale packet of BBQ chips. If nominates another vic club 5 first rounders, the holy grail and the Mona Lisa as a minimum.

 

[kazzooka]

Our offer there is more than fair, it's probably a bit overs given his age.

But why are west coast not saying what they'll give in addition to Barrass if they want 2 firsts?

Surely they don't expect straight up 2x 1sts for him? They know 22 and a future 2nd back would be the only way that is even remotely possible right?

 

[kenneje]

Could’ve had Sheezel too

Imagine lining up round 1 next year with Sheezel, Reid and Finn O'Sullivan.

Country boy, Geelong supporter, Mackie being one of the best list managers, danger probably in his ear already, all things point to Geelong unfortunately if he decides to move!

What time does trade period end tomorrow?

We have been into him pretty regularly.

 

[extractasam]

Tigers are set to have a putrid team, but 8 picks within 24 in a very hyped draft.

Genuinely interested to see if going that all in can be a valid way to build a side. Probably won't know for 7-10 years.

It’s almost an expansion team draft hand. Hopefully the GC version

 

[hawkinoz]

Does the GWS want to offload some players or maybe some players want to distance themselves from some bad apples

Tom Morris broke the news on West Coast dicking Barrass around with his extension, so I'd expect him to have a more balanced perspective.

City boy, Hawthorn supporter, Mackenzie being one of the best list managers, Roughy probably in his ear already, all things point to Hawthorn if he decides to move.

Re Bailey Smith 12 months ago.

Stop letting Geelong live rent free in your head. This board has some real issues in that department.

Harley is not a city boy ??
Anyways I’m not saying Mackenzie hasn’t been great, his track record has been fantastic, it’s just that when Geelong get a sit down with a player and put their case forward, it seems more often than not other clubs don’t stand a chance.
Plenty of examples Bailey Smith, Clayton Oliver, Bowes. Our list management is really good no doubt but we also shouldn’t be living in denial that we can’t get better. Best to acknowledge the best and learn from them to improve.

Hmm, you could be right but I thought it was that Carlton knob on SEN that did
