Game Day 2024 Trade Period - Lian Yu - that liminal space between trade and draft.

[Dockeroo]

I think it gets done in the first week. Multiple journos reporting 9+16 already.

Contrast against Houston, for example, which clearly seems like its going to the wire, especially if it is Carlton.

Hopefully we can get something in the 30s or around pick 40 back, if we give up 9 and 16.

That later pick would have quite limited value to Richmond this year given all the guys they will bring in via the draft but would be quite useful to us

Maybe 40s if we're lucky. I don't expect anything of note back if it is 9+16.

Richmond have our former second round pick, pick #29

That's not a terrible pick but it's not exactly a good one considering where it will end up.

Two firsts for the contracted player and a later second back is the standard price in trade.

So I won't be surprised to see it end up #9 and #16 for Bolton and #29

By the time trade period starts that could be #10 and #17 for Bolton and #32

They could easily give up 29.

They’ll be bundling all those picks up for Brisbane anyway. They’ll still easily have enough points, especially if they don’t bid on Ashcroft at 1.

About 17 minutes before trade period closes

This is worse case scenario if we are targeting Pickett or another player so we better hope Walls gets it don't on day one. Especially considering Melbourne will be campaigners to deal with and Pickett will want to see Bolton done before considering a move.

 

[fnerd]

Honestly not sure why people are concerned with getting something back for a 9,16 deal in terms of picks.

I’m with Alfonz on this I dont think enough here are appreciative of how important salary space moving fwd for this club will be

Yeah I get it,deep draft and all and we all love shiny new toys etc but seriously we should 100% be pushing for salary involved as the “extra” instead of some busted arse pick in the 40s-

it serves us zero gain for the next 3 years (and maybe never)but an extra 200k paid by Richmond is an absolute and could very well mean the difference between chad/no chad or Pickett or losing another b22

I think it will be done by the end of the second day of trading. Richmond have so much on their plate this trade period that they'll want to get the Bolton trade out of the way.

Yeah, I was being silly. Depends what domino needs to fall first but hopefully they may need 9 and 16 to do other deals as opposed to us waiting for them to complete other deals.

6 and 12 for Rioli and 16 for example.
13 and 23 for Baker and 16 another example.
3, 13, 23 for Baker, 9, 16 and 21 another

Just spit balling, but the sooner they bring in picks the quicker they can shuffle with other deals.

I think there's a rule that ypu can't trade a pick back to the same club? Otherwise say Brisbane could trade out their pick for say a future 2nd then after the ashcroft bid it gets traded back fir a future 1st rounder...

They wouldn’t trade anything back.
Richmond just simply don’t bid on him at pick 1. That instantly saves them 500 points.

You should be able to look through your club's history, check out the trade with Sydney to hide their picks for Blakey.

So it's soundling like Pickett is very much on?

I think if it was there would be way more in media.

For the Pickett trade to happen this year it would require some other seismic move(s) to shift the trade axis somehow.

Melbourne having a dip at Houston?

 

[Purple Suit]

For the Pickett trade to happen this year it would require some other seismic move(s) to shift the trade axis somehow.

It would just take Pickett going public with the request. Melbourne could use the Capital to land Houston, plus we throw in Reidy too.

 

[dominguez]

Maybe we make finals for a few years yet without going all the way (it's taken Brisbane a while) and it comes down to Robinson maintaining his gun junior status and the AFL doesn't change the access rules again. Ashcroft has made the world of difference to Brisbane.

I honestly believe if Pearce didn't re-break his arm we were contenders this year.

Brisbane are a good team and it clicked on GF Day but we match up well against them. Sydney were the best team all year and their spine is horrible.

If we sign Shai Bolton and have a decent run with injury anything short of a prelim will be disappointing in 2025. We've been rebuilding almost a decade.

That's it, Pickett just needs to make the request and it will happen. Melbourne aren't strong enough culturally to reject the trade request if he makes it known.

Given he signed that extension just last year, it's that little bit harder to walk out on it without some significant circuit breaker.

 

[Cobbler]

Ordinarily I’d agree, but Pickett being homesick has been known since he was drafted. Not great optics for a club already doing through issues to hold a player to contract.
They let ANB leave.
The question would be is pick 10, F1 plus steak knives enough. It’s close, but it should be enough.

I agree, looks like Houston heading to Carlton. If Melbourne can turn his head, how? They look a shambles, it might open the door. But I don’t see it.

I understand we have two (?) exceptional NGAs coming through, which drafts will they be draft-able?

10 and F1 is big overs anyway (and you know I LOVE Pickett). That's like a whole extra first of overs. It's really entirely down to Pickett being adamant he needs to leave and then Melbourne not being obstinate. If 10 and F1 isnt enough, nothing that's actually feasible for a team is.

We have two next Year - Whan and Hart.
Whan the most likely of them. Maybe a top 20 level.

Year after we have Robinson who’s projecting top 10. Inside Bull

A.

But I also don't have the same view and opinion watching these player sagas play out like most do. Baker was always going to WCE, he never gave a shit about the coach, waiting on McQualter who will be sacked and upgraded upon in 3 seasons anyways? Also Bolton having not nominated us by now because "wants to do best by Richmond" - despite our currency being known for ages and WCE who won't move on Pick 3 in any scenario, another non buy-in issue. Or lack of work on our behalf given the timing?

I hope the latter is part of the reason, because if we've just been working on Warner & or Pickett instead (like we were before Bolton became a reality), then Bolton stays at Richmond, that would be great.

I want Pickett and to hit the draft this year, Warner for nada next year.
