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

[Snuffaluphagus]

With NOD and Erasmus gone, and Johnson seeking potential trade options, Kelly would be an awesome get.

Yeah but we are obviously kicking out every young mid we have to get Bailey Smith so it's a bit overkill

 

[Purpleheart_56]

Darcy doesn’t manage things well though.

Didn't he drop beer drinking down to sixpack a day?

 

[Boomer93]

Every year we hear certain things about the draft but it's reasonably similar most years IMO.

Pick 50 might be as good as pick 40 in other years but the way they're talking you'd swear there's 60 players that'd go in the top 20 last year. I'm not buying it

Most drafts aren't normally similar. They vary greatly.

with all options open as both WA clubs await an official decision on the Tigers vice-captain.

The depth of the draft means the Eagles might be prepared to accept a pick back later in the top 10 if they secure their man."

It's by Ralph, I'm pretty sure he's actually a Richmond bigfooty poster at this stage

If they get 3 for Baker WTF are they gonna expect for Bolton

It's most likely they do a trade with us first and secure pick 9, which they then swap with West Coast. They would still have to sweeten that further IMO, pick 3 value is > than Baker + 9 (which will actually be like 11 or 12 on the night).

Pick 50 might be as good as pick 40 in other years but the way they're talking you'd swear there's 60 players that'd go in the top 20 last year. I'm not buying it personally.

I don't think it's a super draft, but I do think it's a value draft. As DragoDelph said, I look at this draft in groups.

Group 1 - picks 1 to 10
Group 2 - picks 11 to 30
Group 3 - the rest

I think the sweet spot for value is in that second round, where you could potentially get a guy you rate top 15 at pick 30. But I do think there'll also be decent players picked up late or as rookies.

My main argument is to not trade in players to line up at Peel, no Josh Corbett deals this year. And that if you're 50/50 on an uncontracted player, then to let them go and try again - don't just whack someone on the rookie list for the sake of having another year. Guys like Kuek and Stanley may have potential, but I'd be backing my scouts to find someone this year.

Really, I just want 4 or so picks across both drafts.

Perhaps WC will pay Graham (26yrs) enough to secure Richmond pick #2 in free agency compensation and WC get our pick back from the Bolton trade. Three years at $1m, then extend for two years at $100,000 each next year.

Rich Out: Bolton, Graham, Baker
Rich In: #2, #4, #17

 

[FreoBraddles]

So hypothetically.

Would we swap Brodie + R2 + R3 for Tim Kelly + R4 if West coast took on all of Brodie's wage and some of Kelly's?

Remember when someone asked who Adam Simpson would bring with him? Think we have our answer

So WC are: out pick 3, in Graham, Baker, 9?

 

[Taylor]

Exactly.

And Freo are in: Bolton, out: #9 (#10)(#11) and #17 (#18)(#19) (depending on compensation picks Graham/Battle)

 

[DragoDelph]

Exactly.

And Freo are in: Bolton, out: #9 (#10)(#11) and #17 (#18)(#19) (depending on compensation picks Graham/Battle)

We'll give WC Brodie just to even it out a bit.

"**** Will Brodie" - Dragodelph circa 2024

 

[Cesoir]

Yeah but Kelly is an offensive mid

Why are people so easily offended these days?

The previous poster said what you've referred to as group 2 as 40 players. You've gone with 30, which for me is starting become believable.

Agree with everything else in your post btw. Just an observation that someone like yourself who's watching the players and isn't necessarily building up the hype for clicks (ie the mainstream media) seems doesn't think there's twice as much good players in this draft than last year.

 

[Docker82]

Most drafts aren't normally similar. They vary greatly.

I look back on previous drafts all the time and I couldn't disagree more.

There's outliers like 2001 but for the most part drafts end up producing a similar amount of good players especially once you get beyond probably about pick 25. Every year without fail we hear something that makes this year's draft better than last year's and that the next year's draft a super draft.

Did you read my disclaimer?

I have no clue, it was for illustrative purposes.

If WC are prepared to give up pick 3 anything is possible. Not sure if WC are into long re-builds.
