I would love Adelaide to come out publicly and state that “while we totally respect Luko’s decision to nominate Port, we are willing to include our F1 if anything should change through trade week”.

This would give GC a lot of leverage and at worst force Port to give up a F1, and at best land us Luko.

You want to give up what could very well be a top 5 pick for luko? I don't.

 

[Mutineer]

Didn’t realise that, assumed he was Vic as was being linked only to Vic teams

Is the positive link something we will hear about it is it a purely behind the scenes thing that will stay that way?

Cumming's partner, Peatling's partner is the link.

 

[GreyCrow]

Confirmed: Cal reads BigFooty

But he has Jeffcrowe on ignore and loves jenny61_99

 

[baldandbroke]

Cumming's partner, Peatling's partner is the link.

Ok. Makes some sense.

 

[Draft Bored]

Cumming's partner, Peatling's partner is the link.

WAGs going to deliver us a premiership!

 

[Mutineer]

WAGs going to deliver us a premiership!

Perryman's partner as well, are we in that race as well?

 

[crow2crow]

For better or worse, we do seem to be determined to be out of this draft at pick 4.

no because they will use F1 now on draft noght if they want to

 

[Mutineer]

WAGs going to deliver us a premiership!

Harry Perryman is a mad fisho, we'll have to keep Neddy if we want him?

Make it happen. Keep the BFFs together.

 

[Carn The Texan]

no because they will use F1 now on draft noght if they want to

If it got towards the end of the first round and there was somebody we really wanted still on the board I can see us gambling that we will improve and oppo clubs gambling that we won't. We've been very active at live trading in the past.

 

[Tex Danger]

Cumming's partner, Peatling's partner is the link.

Why keep that secret. Has to be more

 

[Redline]

If it got towards the end of the first round and there was somebody we really wanted still on the board I can see us gambling that we will improve and oppo clubs gambling that we won't. We've been very active at live trading in the past.

Most clubs would have our future first as a top 4 pick on their whiteboards. It's worth more than a late first round for example.

Your right we have been active in pick swaps so who knows.

 

[George Kramer]

Where are the Jeffcrowe doubters now?

Slinking away looking for a flannel to wipe the egg off their face should be their go.

Who are they? Mostyn was the one!

 

[Hodgy]

You want to give up what could very well be a top 5 pick for luko? I don't.

Well I would yes, but it wouldn’t be a straight F1. Probably something like F1 for Luko and 20 this year. We could then use that on Dodson or similar.

Look if we were able to secure Lukoscius, Cumming, Peatling, ANB, Draper/Lalor and Dodson then we don’t need any more picks for a long time. That is potentially a premiership list.

 

[Shifty Crow]

Is this a Port thread or Adelaide, stop talking about them
Who cares about Houston. He’s a liar

It’s a rumour thread - any rumour counts as discussion

55 minutes of ads, 5 minutes of trade talk?
No thanks.

 

[baldandbroke]

55 minutes of ads, 5 minutes of trade talk?
No thanks.

Agreed - I'll sometimes listen to the trade-wrap on the way home ... that's the most I can commit to listening to that drivel!!

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Harry Perryman is a mad fisho, we'll have to keep Neddy if we want him?

Put him on 5AA with Rowey. Use Ned as bait only instead of worms .

 

[bettingonbetts]

Can anyone pls link where I can listen to trade radio? Thanks

 

[Mostyn]

Their only issue is that they want Lukosius and have nothing really to offer. So now what?

They could offer their F1 - the league would approve that.

 

[Golumless]

We will also get Welsh.

I'm not quite sure we will, seeing it'll require demoting someone to the rookie list to fit him in. At the moment, we're looking at four open list spots on our main list as McHenry, Gollant, Sloane, and Himmelberg are without contract alongside 3 open rookie pick spots(?).

I hope we do find someone who is willing to take that bullet, seeing Welsh looks quite the player.

The AFL mandates that clubs make a minimum 3 ND selections, though rookie upgrades count towards the total.

We have Keane & Borlase as possible upgrades, with Keane the more likely. This would reduce our minimum requirement to 2 selections - pick #4 and Welsh. It would allow us to move a 2nd player from the senior list to the rookie list (via delisting & re-drafting).

I think the mandate is you need three incoming players from any source (trade/draft/FA) and three outgoings. For instance, Collingwood only took two draft picks last year.

I would be surprised if we're upgrading anyone from the rookie list. I would equally be surprised if we're taking a pick past 4 in the ND, outside of maybe covering an F/S bid.

Minimum. 3. Picks. DRAFT.
