List Mgmt. 2024 List Management thread - Trade Targets Part 2

[FreoMatt]

Any chance the Bolton deal is 10, 11 (actually 12, 13 by draft night) with next years second rounder coming back (pick 19 likely before compo picks etc)?

I’m starting to think our first and 3rd picks won’t be enough and it will have to be the first 2 with something back, but they might want to keep 21 this year.

I don’t think our picks sliding a few places in this draft is a big issue. Everyone knows it’s very deep and even. Cal Twomey said the other day there will be guys taken at pick 40 who in previous drafts would have been pick 20

I'm close to certain that the Bolton trade will go like this, They'll ask for 10 and 11. We will say no, but how about 11 and 18? They'll say no. Then we will go, how about 10 and 18, and they will go, yeah, that sounds okay but give us a little more.

Then it will end up being 10 and 18 plus a swap of later picks and we all walk away happy.

I hope you’re right but also we need “how about you pay half his salary and we’ll give you 10 and 18”

Rohan's a funny player, If he'd played more than half a game he would have been up there with the best in the league.

Even if we were interested in Rohan there’s a zero percent chance he moves interstate while his daughters live in Victoria

If we were into Jack Martin is there a chance we could look at Gary Rohan? apparently doesn’t want to retire and pretty similar to Martin. I think it’d be terrible but seems like we’re shopping in the dfa department

Fractured his skull in the VFL

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Have we considered Eddie Betts?

 

[freodog]

I'm wondering how Bolton will go under our game style. Richmond have been very free flowing with space for Bolton to work in.

We play a more rigid structure and a lot of the time it's slowly into packed forward line with the defence already set. Will he need to adapt or will the addition of his pace & skill allow us to be more daring.

 

[mightymouse75]

Adding to this, although 10 and 18 are a big price for Bolton, he is going to transform how our forward line functions. It's like slotting prime Sonny in there. He's a major threat in the air, whilst also being one of the most damaging players in the comp at ground level. His 2022 was absurd and I think in the right system he can better that.

We would've finished top 4 and contended fo the flag this year if we had Bolton in our forward pocket. 0 Chance we lose against Port, Blues, Pies and Essendon with him.

Having him this year yes.
Next year will be a different kettle of fishes.
Every team in the AFL will be looking to improve.

I wonder what Jeff Garlett is up to these days?

 

[DCFCFAN84]

Richmond want pick 2. We could do 11 and a future first for 2 and then trade 2 to Richmond for Bolton. Then we still have 12 and 18. We could trade 18 for Brisbane or Geelongs future first and use 12 to Draft Bo Allen.

Think our game plan needs refinement.

To me where Bolton* is going to thrive is from our centre clearance work.

If we can have - Serong, Brayshaw, Young roving to a fit Darcy ……quick ball into a forward line of Treacy, Amiss, Switta & Jackson….Bolton should have a field day.

 

[Lach72]

All I know is I watch the highlights of Bolton, and other than Freddy twice a year, we don’t have anyone who can produce that

 

[freo_leo29]

Don't think North are splitting pick 2 for a future after thinking about it

They were willing to put their F1 on the table, think they're all about the now

Bolton is part of the missing puzzle pieces we need.

“So long as Bolton plays his “role””

To put it in other terms, Fremantle is the club that is the best fit for Shai and he is the perfect fit for Fremantle.
It is compelling.
Acquisitions like this is what you stake premierships on.

I sat there and watched him tear strips off some young Richmond player for daring to cut in front of him and get his first AFL goal , the whole rest of the Tigers were giving him the ol attaboy and Bolton was going apeshit at the kid …. one of the most floggish things I’ve ever seen a player do in footy

Throwing in the towel when things aren’t going his way is another criticism you hear about him a lot

the showing the ball running into goal bullshit

Maybe we need a bit of arrogance in the team but it’s a pretty delicate balance

Most of the Tiger fans saying we’d be mad not to take this deal spent all of last year hating on the bloke and are secretly chuckling behind their hands

50/50 wether this deal is what everyone hopes for or just another in our long list of trade disasters for mine

[eastfreo75]

Kinnear Beatson and David Walls have said its a strong draft

2 of the best in the business

With due respects nobody has a crystal ball and can see into the future.

All drafting is intelligent guesses.

 

[Joao]

Nobody is spruiking the absolute top end of the draft, but every one is saying it is deep and even.

Which is perfect when you have no top 5 picks but a bunch in the 10-30 range.

He’s the big dog at the Tigers, but will be trying to integrate into a new group.

Hopefully that rounds off any undesirable edges.

Just need the other clubs to agree to those terribly one sided deals and we’re sweet!

The fact it’s so even is why I can see us splitting 10 with Sydney or GWS, they both have pretty stacked lists, so if someone they really want is still on the board at our pick, I can see 19 & 22 being offered by them, just depends on if walls thinks two of his targets will still be at those picks or not.

I’d rather trade 11 for a pick this year and next.
Hypothetical 21 and F1 with GWS or 22 and F1 with Swans.

Roll the dice on the death ride!
