List Mgmt. 2024 List Management thread - Trade Targets Part 2

[s_wd6]

Erasmus and Amiss.
We’ve used two firsts on the last 4 years

But we’ll have to have a first next year or we break the rule??

 

[freodog]

If Pickett becoming available has changed our position on Baker so be it.

He already loves West Coast and presumably hates Freo so let him go to West Coast.

 

[Taylor]

I am torn between:

Trade for Bolton first, then Pickett, then Baker for whatever is left to trade.
Trade for Pickett first, then Bolton and Baker in one transaction at the end.

I'm 95% sure you can basically "promise to find one." Shouldnt be a problem with Whan and Hart anyway. Reckon at least one gets bid top 20

 

[StingBitten]

Take it to the bank unk

This is fun but I work for an Aboriginal organisation and specifically with two ex-Freo players and trust me there's a lot of Blackfella's who are family and will refer to players as uncles/cousins.

Culturally they're correct and are indeed related - however very few are actually closely connected and in the know about intimate knowledge like this.

Unless that person is verified close family?

 

[Taylor]

My understanding is that next season we would need AFL approval to trade a future first round pick.

Next year is a very long way away.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing about that screenshot. No one who’s actually close or has inside knowledge is going to be leaking it on Facebook comments

If switta wanted to leave would any clubs part with a future first? Would solve our issue

 

[DragoDelph]

They’d better.

Leadership group. 2 years contracted. Key part of the 22.

It’s why I’d wait until after the other targets are in before opening talks. Unless he becomes a part of either of the other deals

 

[Taylor]

It would solve the issue if a club losing a player that is contracted would want a contracted player from us.

 

[Lach72]

Guys. No one is giving a first for Switta wtf

 

[s_wd6]

No way. 28 and doesn’t kick enough goals. Contract could get him an early second but that’s as high as it gets

 

[DQ 4EVER]

Agreed and yet I rate him higher than Schultz.
Oh, for another Collingwood

Exactly. He’s worth at least the same.

I’d take a late first and swap a r4 for a r3 back their way.

 

[Ge3ks]

Would Switta and Baker have about the same trade value as each other this year?

 

[Lach72]

Guys…come on. Seriously

 

[Taylor]

I believe so given their very similar output statistically and that Switta is contracted and Baker is not, but that should be open to negotiation because a leader of our club with two years on contract is quite a big rating within the walls.

 

[Lach72]

It’s a second round. Maybe a late one at that. He’s 28 and pressures. Moves through the midfield ok, but not often. Not particularly damaging. Who’s paying more for that?

 

[DragoDelph]

Elite for score launches. Above average for score involvements and assists.
Elite for tackles, above average for clearances. Elite for frees for.

Most of those are skewed because he’s a small forward playing midfield, but still.

We should absolutely rate him as a late first. Makes it better value when he gets included in one of the other trades as a goody

I don’t reckon they are too far off. I agree though Baker has higher rating - although Switta is out of contract.
Baker = 19-24 range (similar to Jordan Clark for comparison)
Switta (contracted) = 24-29 range (similar to Liam Henry for comparison)

Switta > 28 (Essendon)
27,28 > 14/15 (Brisbane) - Brisbane needs points for Ashcroft that is over 300 extra points if we’re talking 15.

Port is currently 17 - let’s hope that drops to 16.

Imagine if we had
9,10,15,16

9,16 > Bolton and some change for Freo
10,15 > Picket and some change for Freo

 

[Ge3ks]

although Switta is out of contract.

I think you mean in contract

 

[Jezzitizle]

Where are these Switta rumours coming from? Not heard anything in the media, would have thought it would be out by now?

[Docker82]

Guys…come on. Seriously

Age is probably a big thing here. Switta is older than Schultz and we’re one year later.

I don’t think that he’s leaving anyway tbh but let’s see. Think a player probably has to leave to get Kozzie and Bolton in.

 

[King Huskii]

I don't want Bolton and Kossie

I'd rather go to the draft and chance it on some 18 year old lads who may not be able to make the step up to AFL
