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

Potentially hot take, but I'm honestly at the point where I'm at peace if we end up giving up 9 + 10 for Bolton and whatever else, be it salary cap faffing or something from Richmond.

We have completely failed to draft another elite small forward since Sonny and then got very lucky and then very unlucky with Schultz. We have been absolutely kissed on the freckle that Bolton has fallen into our lap. I'm sick of getting excited over draft picks. Just get the elite goal-kicking small forward in the perfect age bracket please :)

If Richmond pay a huge chunk of his salary, Kosi says he's not requesting a trade this season and Chad has given us a concrete agreement he's on board in 12 months time, then I'm on board.

It may not be sexy, but the salary part is pretty big.

Overall, #9 & 16 has been my prediction from the start, and I still expect this to happen. Maybe a late third coming back
 
Cox is worth every cent of his contract, at his best he's one of the best in the business.
Probably length was to stop Adelaide clubs sending him sweet nothings.
Darcy not so much
 
Charlie Cameron was traded for pick 12. If Freo gave up 9 and 10 for Bolton that's just self-sabotage.

Charlie Cameron had not made AA at Adelaide. Shai Bolton has at Richmond

Charlie Cameron had 1 year left on his contract and had made a statement saying he categorically would not extend at Adelaide. Shai Bolton has 4 years on his Richmond contract.

I would not be using the Charlie Cameron trade as a source of value

It's bad enough having Kane Cornes dribble all over the media. Do we really need people posting his rubbish on here? I mean, come on, we all know he's a clueless flog.
I kinda like Cornes, I appreciate that he has strong opinions and stands by them no matter how stupid.

He's like the Nuff representation in the media and I'm for it. Gets people talking and arguing which is good for silly season.

Lol. He's stirring the pot to generate clicks and he's genuinely good at it. His comments are stupid enough but believable enough to generate outrage by the fans of whatever team he targets.

Don't think he genuinely believes half the sh** he says tbh.
 
9+10 to NM for 2. Gets them Houston + pick 9/10.
2 to Rich for Bolton + 13 (Baker pick from WCE) or 12 (GC pick Rioli).
Do this asap so Richmond don’t fleece us for 9+10 and then swap with NM for 2
I mean, the club doesn't have to give them both picks because Richmond want them. That's not how this works in even the slightest way

Would want a smidge more from North to help them facilitate this deal. Nothing massive. F3 or pick 40.

Would probably receive a little less from Richmond. Probably pick 21 at best.

Get Bolton.
Have 16, 21, 27, 40 + full 2025 with North’s F3.

Cameron was a promising player, but not proven and had not reached the heights of Bolton at the time of trade. Bolton is also much more versatile with midfield ability. And Adelaide were not paying any of Cameron's salary. I feel like a broken record on the salary, but I will keep repeating myself if people keep ignoring it.

What is self sabotage is trying to get Bolton for the minimum draft capital, and then paying him 1.2 million dollars a year and destroying our salary cap.

In other words, Cornes is an idiot.
