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

[FreoRicci]

90% of dumb punters will be happy that the new coach has seemingly brought Baker and Graham with him.

Reality is we called their bluff and placed 10 on the table knowing he was never coming.

Now, their completely transparent attempts at happy times will backfire spectacularly when they have to offer 13 to ‘match’ what Freo were apparently intending to use.

Then left with one pick in top 20. Delicious

 

[Cobbler]

Would leave us with 16, 21 and 40 after Bolton.

Opposed to 10, 27 and 63 if we did just 9 and 16 for Bolton (assuming no other parts to trade)

Yeah, I mean not a massive reason to do it. Maybe we could squeeze more out of North?

I doubt we’d just do 9 and 10 for 2 and 40 unless we had something lined up with Tigers after to give them 2 for Bolton.

 

[Sturty2Hurty]

Disappointed Baker isn’t coming, exactly what we needed. Melbourne will just hold Kozzie to his contract and Warner will really rock the boat cash wise.

 

[Docker82]

Lol. A club saying they won't take unders for a contracted player is just general trade period speak.

You can't just double a player's price because they're contracted. A top ten pick is massive for Richmond in their position. Bolton is worth a bit more because he's contracted but not a second top ten pick more.

 

[DragoDelph]

Old mate here was onto stringer to giants last week.

Talk that the blues are taking on someone’s big contract, but won’t say the player.

Who are the swans clearing cap for?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Said before but I think we can benefit from Houston to North, it just needs us taking a service fee and needing Richmond to (rightly) value a North F1 more than pick 9

 

[nurries]

Rather keep 2. That’s insane.

Yep I would trade pick 16, pick 27 and F1 for Bolton if we had 2

 

[rgauci]

North out 2 and 40
In 9 and 10

Freo then 2 and 27 for Bolton and 21

Doesn’t leave us with 10 but gives us that crucial first pick of 2nd round, which we’ll likely move into next year for largest bid.

The deal will also allow Tigers to grab Brisbane’s pick 18 by matching with points. They won’t bid on Ashcroft with either pick 1 or 2.

Think about what you’re writing:

IN: Bolton, 21, 40
OUT: 9, 10, 27

No thanks

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

If the eagles are willing to use pick 3 for Bolton and we need pick 2 to outbid them I'm done with footy.

There will be riots on the terrace if WC use pick 3 for Bolton

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Pick 9 -> North F1
North F1 (top 5), pick 16 ->Bolton, F2

 

[Cobbler]

OUT: 9, 10, 27

No thanks

I was attempting to be somewhat realistic. Obviously, there's no reason for us to consider moving 9,10 to facilitate another team's trades unless they offer overs.

Likewise, there's no reason for us to get pick 2 just to then hand it over.

I get all that.

That said, even with the above ins and outs, it's not incredibly miles off. Someone will offer us a F1 and a downgrade for pick 21. We still have 16.

 

[simpsonwillo]

Eagles should have a look but he wouldn't be close to getting a game for us.

unless he did an Elliot Yeo

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Pick 9 -> North F1
North F1 (top 5), pick 16 ->Bolton, F2

Palatable. But I'd be shocked if that Norf F1 wasn't a top 3 pick. Maybe the F1 and 27 get it done?

 

[The Lobbster]

Ethan Stanley delisted

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Ethan Stanley delisted

I just fell to my knees in Walmart

 

[sregit]

2 firsts is unders? One of them being a top 10 pick?

I’d rather keep him. Unless its your top 2 picks. He’s a gun player contracted for 5 years.

I didn’t come here to argue about Boltons trade value. Just to let you know why he hasn’t nominated Freo.
He’s been told the only way he gets back to WA is if Richmond decide whats the best offer and if good enough. Freo or WC.

And I am telling you everyone knows it's Freo and everyone knows he'll be at Freo next year regardless of what games are played publicly

 

[Polo342]

So how many list spots do we actually have? Assuming we take minimum 3 players in draft

Did you announce this in this mornings list management meeting?

 

[Taylor]

There's a lot of public relations games going on at the moment.

Richmond has four senior players, two contracted, abandoning the club.

What are they going to do, tell their members it's going to be even worse next season? Not going to work.

 

[The Lobbster]

If Bolton gets done, then currently there are no spots available with those 3 draftees included.

Kuek and Corbetts spots were already taken by Sharp and Voss.

Stanley, Hughes, Williams and Tabs frees up 4 spots which Bolton and the draftees fill.

Oh no, he's been told. I wonder who told him? Your trembling blancmange of a coach or your CEO that's pissing off to Tassie. Or maybe it was you on his insta page that told him?
He's coming to Fremantle bloke.
