Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[LegendLewis]

Watching Cane Cornes makes me want to watch Family Guy and see the original...Giggity

 

[Tugofawar]

Our F3 and Wc F4 likely less than double digits apart next year. So we really traded pick 14 and loose change. Well done MM

So after all that - we've spent pick 14 + a little bit.

hahaha

Well depends on next years results. But if we finish above Carlton again we will have:

Traded out 14, F1,F2,F3

for

Barrass, upgrade-F1, upgrade-F2, Eagles F4 (similar to our F3).

So that deal means we have a first and second next year that could be better than our originals AND we got barrass all for 14 and a nothing swap of F3 and F4.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

West Coast should thank us for doing the work for them of converting pick 14. Absolute morons really needed their hands held all the way through

 

[CHUBBSS]

**** geelong

 

[seysearles]

So in a vacuum we gave up pick 14 and a future pick slide from a F3 to a F4. MM fooking nailed it

And we transferred our 2025 draft picks from our ladder position to Carlton's which means we want them to finish bottom of the ladder.

If we finish ahead of Carlton next year, we'll have traded for less than pick 14. And if we finish two spots ahead of them, I think we'll have transacted this for less than our original offer.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Absolutely criminal that Geelong got Smith for pick 17.

I have a lot of respect for your club - would have much rathered deathrode the Blues than you guys.

That said, pretty rare to have 3 future picks from the 1 club so will be deathriding you guys hard

 

[Geead]

WCE were always going to cave, MM and his team knew this.

Idk, I can't help but feel like we caved a tiny bit. F1 + F2 was plenty... we had them on the ropes!

But for the sake of getting the deal done I'd cop a F3 for F4 swap. Idiots could have had Pick 14 + F2, so in that regard we did well.

 

[Bardo State]

Ooft, dogs shafted here

 

[rei154]

Footscray absolutely reemed in that trade.
Geelong make out like absolute bandits!

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

lol dogs boned hard

[onthemoney]

The official AFL trade radio / live stream is just about useless without them having real time info of the trade details. Surely that's easily coordinated, they're all in the same physical location!

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

Ralphy saying we’ve traded away our entire draft hand. How do these blokes have a job

We did.

Got absolutely fleeced for a 29 yo

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

We did.

Got absolutely fleeced for a 29 yo

Whilst Geelong extort other clubs with no ramifications.

Always Hawthorn (overpaying)

 

[Sixpence]

I don't think Geelong "made out like bandits". Pick 17 and a slight late pick upgrade is probably par for Baz.

 

[peetoo]

lol dogs boned hard

Big ladder slide incoming.

So how do AFL and media partners hope to get sponsor value for the various trade radio programs when it’s easier quicker to just watch for the right tweets?

 

[seysearles]

Over to you Tom. We’re expecting 23 high level injury-free games (+ finals) from you next season. Good luck.

 

[Sixpence]

We did.

Got absolutely fleeced for a 29 yo

No we didn't, we still have a F1 and a F2. Pay attention.

 

[VandoHawk]

Poor take.

It ended up being the equivalent of 14 + F3 for Barrass and F4. You do that deal every day of the week. That swap of later picks is basically irrelevant.

We now have a quality (albeit older) full back to anchor our defence while the offensive players around him can do the damage. That’s gold for a team entering its Premiership window.

No more Hogan kicking 6 or Georgiades kicking 3 out of his backside.
