List Mgmt. 2024 List Management thread - Trade Targets

[doppo]

In the interest of completely baseless rumour mongering -

Snitch in West reporting

• Sydney were pissed off at last weeks snitching re Warner weekend at crown
• Freo indeed deeply into Baker and Bolton and not without a chance

 

[Spirit Level]

Can ask all you like but hes an unrestricted free agent

Blues grab him for free if he wants to go

Oh, well then never mind carry on

 

[DragoDelph]

Bolton and not without a chance

From what I heard, Bolton keen to come back at some point but more likely next year.

(My sources are 4th hand via a high-schooler for what it's worth)

Is 4th hand Bolton->Sauce->Drago Jnr -> Drago Snr?

Yeah, pretty much.

The Bolton rumour I heard around April, that is probably why in our first poll I chose him. I also think it has legs. As I've said before I think Baker goes to West Coast. I think either way we'll be in it up to our eyeballs in trade week(s), whether that means we'll get anyone is another story, but we certainly won't die wondering.

Our Richmond lurker won't like this but it does feel like there's a little bit to at least Bolton asking the question of Richmond if no one else. Now, if they say no, not happening then he's not going anywhere but definitely one to watch.

Personally think they are far better losing Bolton and paying Baker enough he has to stay but that's on them. Richmond fans seem to think they can turn it around quickly, which I think is based off nothing but previous goodwill and cope but whatever.

The Bolton rumour really strikes me as one of those ones where it's immediately dismissed by the fans, the club shuts it down, and then the whispers start again during trade period and something happens late

I want to see a proper poll between Bolton and Warner on this thread, feel like it could be 50/50 between posters here and would lead to some good discussions. My votes definitely Warner.

my vote is with Warner, but it'd be seriously bloody close as we know Bolton is a gamechanger when he's on. Either one would be a massive weapon; both would be fairytale magic realm stuff. But JUST Warner for me, by 1 or 2%

 

[Polo342]

I actually think my vote would be Bolton and Baker over Warner. With the natural progression of Amiss, Treacy and Jackson we would have a Awesome forward line.

Baker Treacy Freddy
Jackson Amiss Bolton

Wow!!!

 

[Chris25]

Richmond could throw in Baker for free, and I’m still taking Warner over Bolton every day.

Bolton is a good fit. Warner steps straight in as our best player.

 

[The Feeder Club]

It all gets down to price doesn't it? Warner is better but let's say we only have to use two firsts on Bolton and get to take one to the draft, versus all three plus a sweetener for Warner, suddenly the Bolton deal would be more enticing

 

[freo84]

Which sounds better:

Chadlocked or
Shai-Tied

 

[doppo]

I'm quite partial to Chadmantle myself

Warner all the way, but obviously happy to look at Bolton if being part of a Fremantle flag means something to him.

 

[Quazar2]

Which sounds better:

Chadlocked or
Shai-Tied

well............erm. Both sound, dare I say it....a bit kinky. Not sure I'd have the stamina to try both and be able to re-position in the allotted timeframe. Shai-tied sounds like a dodgy Asian massage parlor that promises more than a diminutive lady smiling and some gold waving cats.

Not sure if I will get into trouble saying the above, but you know....oh well. Life is short

Yah exactly, Bolton is on a mill a year also compared to Chad who is probably costing 1.3m a year to pick us and let's say Sydney drive the hardest of bargains to let him go this year and Richmond are open to trading Bolton (both reasonable takes IMO)

Warner for our 1sts this year and and next or Bolton and the pay rise for Sharp and Banners (300k) for our two best firsts.

Starts getting tougher

 

[WilloTree]

I've been saying this on here for years.

People on here act like the same player could be traded for a first rounder OOC and two first rounders when contracted.

The reality is, especially for the most valuable players, is that the difference is minimal compared to what most on here seem to think.

The above example would be more like a first and second OOC and two first rounders whilst contracted.

For players like Luke Jackson or Chad Warner being OOC really makes little difference in trade value IMO. We'll still pay a ****tonne next year for Warner - difference is this year Sydney can simply say no.

I agree that the top flight players retain their value much better.

It's the next tier down where the contracted/uncontracted status is more pronounced.

For example, we received a shitty 2nd rounder for Ed Langdon (uncontracted) but took all Saint's shit for Hill (contracted).

Depends on how we rate the talent at that point of the first round and whether we think we can get good value out of the pick. I think the monetary aspect will be more of a sticking point than giving up draft capital.

[TheLastCall]

My reading with Warner is that we only get him this years trade period is if Sydney will the premiership this year.
Baker we can get with a fair offer this year.
Bolton would require a great offer this year, a good offer next year.

Bolton isn't gonna be cheaper next year, contracted til 2028

If they want a future pick we can already give them it, we would prefer to give that I reckon anyway

What if we're also stuck having to pay Corey Warner 3-400k as part of the deal.
