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

[Snuffaluphagus]

Speaking on his behalf, but Carnthedockers has been steadfast on it being 2026 for Chad

 

[Andyy]

Yes, if trading Warner meant you could better balance your list, in Sydney's case getting a power forward, then you would.

Really?

Any draft pick can be a bust.

You have an A-grade player that you're trading for an 18 year old kid who will either take 3+ years to develop into a player or bust completely.

Unless you're a rebuilding club like RFC I doubt you'd do this.

Swans have a nasty ability to stay up due to their rort of an academy and just made the GF, so if Warner is leaving they'd probably want to trade for an established KPF or at least move those picks on for one you'd think.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

If you want Chad and Bolton, pick a decent player to go out with the picks. Only way to get Chad this year.

Err no, I mean like a JUH.

Frederick or Sturt

I'd let Freddy/Switta go. Cooper Simpson can become either of those players. Freddy was disappointing this year

 

[wakojako]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe Warner was a Weagles supporter.

Pretty sure his family were all mad cats fans.

You could be right, fave player was Joel Selwood growing up.

 

[dominguez]

Garlick is being a bit too forward in stating his desire to get these players there I reckon.

It’s just leads to overpaying.
Its amazing how thrifty clubs become in negotiating when they have minimal capital.

Then when you have the opposite I.e. us this year and the suns every year - you just seem to pay more and get less value.

Bolton is a match winner under contract. After F/S and Academy picks it probably ends up picks 12 and 20. That's fair. We got similar for Schultz.

was AA the year before he was traded, while contracted, for a pick around 10 and a future first with a second round pick going back to the Bombers.

Next year if WC are rubbish because their second key defender is traded this year and their next best is injured Sydney would get a fat nothing for him and they can offer him too much money to turn down.

I’m still coming to terms with Kozzie being shut down this morning, I don’t think I can cope if Chad is also off this year.

I tend to view it that Kozzie won't force his way out or put enough pressure on Melbourne to at least officially ask for a trade. The view has been that we are basically the Port replacement club for this season and he's been out/in for the last 3 off seasons. Why would Melbourne cave when the pressure from Kozzie to get out is as low as Fremantle v Port.

This is fair enough from a Dockers supporter POV. From Pickett's POV, I understand keeping the trade request internal. 1) Freo can't really commit to getting it done, so why would you piss off the fanbase you have to play in front of, and all of your teammates and club personnel you have to work with at your job? 2) Melbourne really might have told him that the trade is 100% not happening; the club has had enough recent PR disasters, and they're not willing to give up on a flag next year before the inevitable post Gawn + May rebuild. It's probably a combo of factors. In any case, what does a public trade request get you except Melbourne's cutthroat back-channelling of nasty stories about your character, and playing with guys who don't like you, in front of a crowd that doesn't like you.

 

[Spirit Level]

It’s absolutely happening. It’s just about which club he chooses. My money is on us, with the sharp and dogga connection.

This year?

Yep a Cats fan growing up

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Frederick or Sturt

Not sure they are decent enough. Switta at a minimum and realistically I reckon it needs someone better even. Sydney would want the world

 

[Purpletown]

CTD sprinkling some juicy details and bailing for a week is amazing. He is laughing he has us by the balls

Or he knows nothing.

If Sydney or anyone really rates Raz or Johnson at late first or early 2nd round value (way more likely Johnson), it just has to be 1 of them. No real point keeping them around if you're gonna get Chad.

Can confirm Warner was no Eagles fan and did follow Fremantle but in saying that he was certainly not a die hard. Preferred playing sport than watching

 

[Dayts]

Fixed for you

 

[Eski3]

Or he knows nothing.

CTD is literally the only poster on these forums that I trust with Dockers contract stuff

 

[s_wd6]

Fixed for you

Can’t be saying that when you look at our record with/without him this year

Surely you don't think Schultz is as good a player as Bolton?

The death ride worked out there!

 

[dominguez]

The situation with Kozzie is no doubt the same it has always been: Kozzie wants a trade to Freo, Melbourne won't play ball. Even the most optimistic reports/rumours have firmly positioned Melbourne as the barrier to a trade. After the Bolton trade is done, and keeping our options open for Warner, we don't have the godfather deal that would make them profoundly reevaluate.

Pickett wants to play with Bolton. The sooner the Bolton deal gets done the more likely that Kozzie requests a trade to Freo.
