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

[Madas]

Does this club know what they are doing?

Pretty bad look letting Oliver leave and yet when you have players wanting to leave for family reasons you hold them.

I think his contract is so overvalued no other club wants a bar of it particularly given his off field issues
They are kind of stuck with him and probably trying to make the best of a bad situation

Maybe they should let Kozzie go to release some financial pressure

 

[Alfonz]

Doesn’t really fit a need.

Yes he does. Medium forward. Not saying he is any good, but he plays the position we lack the most depth on our list. We only have Sturt and Banfield. Emmett sort of, but he plays much smaller than his height. Martin would have been an option. I really hope we draft Davis.

 

[Mesc]

He's much more than a coke fiend...

I heard he gambles too.

I heard he rips beetles heads of too and throws sand at girls.

 

[Docker82]

Don't think we have the list space to even begin to consider a SSP signing this year tbh.

Unless something drastically changes we should be utilizing the National Draft to fill all list spaces remaining post trade period IMO.

33 goals in 76 goals….
Don’t get me wrong I like him as a player but he doesn’t fit a freo need

 

[Wray27]

Just in case anyone has forgotten when the actual trade period starts and we can stop all this media driven conjecture based on mostly third hand rumours and player managers wanting to drive up player value.

 

[Superkoops]

I wouldn't mind if we got him over to train with a few WAFL, SANFL, VFL players, and the best player is kept.

In reality, if we keep Emmett, which looks likely we probably won't have list space for it.

Current list space is between 4 and 6 players on main list.

Bolton, Pick 10, 27 takes up 3.

We normally like to have the maximum number of players on the rookie list to save cash, so it really only allows us 1 more spot, unless we put him on the rookie list.

Anyone know how the two Irishmen are going?

Emmett likely ends up on Rookie list.

Taylor is looking at DFA with another Vic team if lucky. He actually plays wing not forward. I’m sure posters are getting Curtis Taylor mixed up with forward Paul Curtis.

 

[Superkoops]

I have just read Melbourne now won’t be trading Clarry Oliver. Bit of a circus this.

Also I’m dead certain Bulldogs won’t lie down and accept a second round pick for B. Smith. Looking at his clip the other day he looks in very good physical condition. Is an early draft pick that has played high level football. Definitely a first round pick.

Where is this Smith for pick 20 rubbish originate from that the likes of Lyon and Watson were debating. Geelong have pick 15 and around 35. Pick 35 might get pushed out to 40 by time compo is handed out. Pick 15 will end up with Bulldogs.

They are a desperate club who deserves to implode.

My prediction is they eventually do trade him. Melbourne and Geelong are both campaignery at the trade table.

Confirmed serial killer

I think Geelong have chewed off more than they can bite. He wants to go to Geelong but all they have to offer is F1.

It really starts today at the combine, as all the list managers are in the same place

Does Close to Fremantle come into play?

I would give 27 for him. They send 27 and a f2 to Dees. At the end of the day Oliver isn’t the same player with major dramas off it.

 

[Moo]

If I’m Geelong - massive risk in taking on his contract. I absolutely get why they are low balling.

To me Melbourne is in free fall, unfortunately they probably don’t implode this year.

 

[Cobbler]

I think Melbourne are the ones that messed this up.
Geelong just saw an opportunity and Demons sphincters tightened when they realised their stuff up.
I think they just need to trade him. There’s something clearly not right.

I think they were hoping an Adelaide or Saints or anyone with decent picks would come along.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Jesus Christ Melbourne is beyond being a dumpster fire. You can't try to trade a bloke 2 years in a row and not follow through. The people running that place need to be fired into the sun

Melbourne are on the precipice. I think they’re bright enough to see it, but the problem is EVERY club can definitely see it.

Pennies on the dollar for Clarry or Petracca is obviously not great, but they won’t get better.

They would be best suited clearing out, but with that said, Pickett at 23 is far from someone that needs to be moved on.

One gone (roffey) and one of goodwins closest allies as well (the head of leadership).

How far will they go, because pert as ceo going behind the recruiting teams back on this isn’t a great endorsement of either party

Imho Melbourne not trading Oliver rekindles the tinniest flame of hope on Kozzie for us ( probably all BS but it’s all we’ve got to work with )

Fascinating watch that one

Yeh but they’ve got a suitor ( Freo) at the ready with decent picks
Could Port match us after the Lukoscius deal ?

No it was completely made up

Max Gawn must be embarrassed of that place and probably can’t wait to retire and enter a media job FT.

Does it matter? He is SA! Just go for him. Who cares let’s make it real.

Pick 15 is the pick 20 they're talking about
