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

[Azz 27]

Assuming this in on the cards next year, plus we have two NGA's, I really hope we spend 10, 25, ... on small forwards.

I would be happy to slightly reach for Berry at 10, and target a mature ager at the pick after 25. Anyone know of any good mature age small forwards?

Bolton and Pickett?

 

[Azz 27]

Bolton and Pickett?

Bolton not a true small forward.

I meant 2nd tier players e.g. WAFL, VFL .

I doubt Pickett will come.

Jobs on the line, we need success now.

Couldn't be more accurate.

 

[freocuz]

The irony of having all these players potentially on the way here and no one wanting to leave!

Well seemingly no one wants to leave…

Yeah, this is what’s worrying me. The players we’ve lost recently all had talk of going throughout the season, other than Schultz last year was about the only shock I can recall.

How conflicted would we be if Warner/Bolton/Kozzie all want in but Young/Brayshaw/Treacy/Amiss/Darcy/other B23 want out?

Nope.

They’re all out of contract and all guns.

Bolton - 9&16
Chad - 10,27 and F1

Might get some scraps back in both deals. Nothing left for Pickett.

We’d have to get creative.

Maybe Bolton - 9&16
Pickett - 10&F1
Chad - Cox and 27

Bolton is not out of contract, Pickett is not out of contract.

The only one that will come out of contract is Warner at the end of 2025.

Sorry. I meant all in contract.

Just said it won't go away
He was going to make some calls today

 

[arsesmart]

Reckon it’s 85% filler, repeated information and ads. 10% stating the same top 10 best, worst , weird, cheapest trades we hear every year. 3% actual trade news 2 % fact.
But I’ll still listen to those podcasts . Genius producers.

That's the beauty of good filtering, the ratios always seem better.

Shultz leaving as and when he did may be the closest thing we'll get to Kismet. The timing and maxing out of trade value is potentially looking to have us primed for an historically pivotal moment.

I'm like Val Kilmer in Tombstone.
The drinking part at least.

Doc Holliday in Tombstone is up there with Samwise Gamgee as one of the most loyal and true friends shown on screen. Literally turns up for his friend while dying, the entire movie then at the end sends him away so he doesn't linger in the grief of losing him. Selfless and heroic. What a guy.

Here we go...

Warner will be kicking himself if we win the flag next year & he decided to spend another year at Sydney.

That’s the angle I’d be taking when speaking to him. Imagine missing out on being immortal to stay in a place you don’t really want to be.

If Freo weren’t balls deep into Bolton then I have no doubt we’d be going extremely hard at Warner. We probably still will, but 10 and a F1 isn’t exactly a strong argument for Swans to release him.

 

[Taylor]

Warner out of contract next season only nominating one club could be a steal compared to the sort of value being assumed in trade for him at the moment.

thing is, its stronger then what they will get next year and the gaps in their list have been made pretty obvious, another big loss like this may be the push they need to let chad go to bring in some other pieces

If I were Swans I’d ask the question on Pearce or Cox. We will say not for trade, but it would be serious food for thought.

Regardless of next years lower offer, 10 and F1 isn’t inspiring for them. Perhaps it comes with a Brodie as an extractor but that just steak knives.

 

[PowerToThePurpl]

Odds are we’ve been in contact with Pickett regarding a move home and is most likely holding off on an official request depending on Freo’s draft hand and salary cap situation after the Bolton deal.

If deemed we have enough capital in the bank (to also secure Brayshaw’s contract next year) then we pull the trigger. Whether or not a deal then actually gets done is another thing entirely.

Not actually ITK, just a best guess going by all the noise.

 

[Cobbler]

Does anyone give up Pearce for Chad in straight up trade? Haha. Crazy to think about.

29 year old captain v 23 year old young gun

 

[freo1997]

Clear as day the Bolton trade should be done really early then we assess our options from there.
