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

[arsesmart]

I heard yesterday on trade Radio that Carlton rate Motlop highly and are hanging on to him

He's got one more year left on his contract. He's often mentioned as a reason why they might be letting Owies go, despite his strong year. But we should be (and I think are) in his ear and building the attractiveness of coming home to Freo.

Twomey is such a dork. I quite like him.

 

[Bigger]

There's heaps of time to do some hefty wheeling and dealing though. Richmond are playing the cards under the hairs and right off the nipple. So it's hard to gauge how their plates are spinning. We get Bolton deal done in the next day or two and game on.

Sydney too are awfully quiet at this stage, so they sound like they're primed to batten down the hatches as far as Warner goes. If we see them swoop on someone big it could give this year's chase a bit of a pulse.

This is some writing, right here.

I still don't really understand any of it, but you had me in with "nipple" and then sent it into orbit with the mention of spinning.

Spinning nipples. For my sins, I am picturing Wallsy with some tasselled pasties.

 

[Joao]

Except for that time he inexplicably laid 10 tackles against Freo a few months ago.

Abssolute horse**** that he rolled out one of his 2 100% efforts for the year against us.

 

[Superkoops]

Richmond won’t won’t a later pick. They’ll have 5-6 top 30 picks this year.

No need for picks after that for a possible gem when they are sitting on a gold mind

Future pick like an F2 for F3.

Out of Contract in 2025

Looks like stringer to GWS is on

Damn I would've def grabbed if he would've come

I raised him at the start/mid of the year, really good player

 

[mayne iac]

Cal reckons we are going to trade 11 into next year and teams are lining up!!

would you play him ahead of sturt?

 

[stobes]

If the Shai deal fell over and Warner & Kozzie weren't on, why not use 10 & 11 and ontrade 18 to get into next year's draft. Sounds silly to me

Sounds dumb

Hopefully Richmond are one of those in the line.

Because 11 has a lot more value - many teams want 13 so those that miss may be desperado

I think it's to get 11 off the table and secure a second 1st for next year for Warner.
Can't see it happening if Bolton is on. We'd be mad not to take a first into this draft.

 

[freo_leo29]

Play both

Stringer rolls through the middle as a burst midfielder too


Kicked over 40 this year




We ain't getting him anyway but great pickup for GWS

 

[Paracleet]

He's from WA.

This happens every year on here and I assume on the Eagles board as well.

Here is the recent list of 1st round WA player de jour on here and my take at the time:

2016 Sam Petrevski-Seaton - Did not want (I wanted English)
2017 Aaron Naughton - Did not want (Endorsed decision to go with better credentialled mids)
2018 N/A (only top prospect was Clarke, went before our pick)
2019 Deven Robertson - Did not want. Was all over Young and Serong in particular (before it was cool)
2020 No real consensus. I seem to have avoided putting my opinion in print that year. What a weasel.
2021 Erasmus - Did not want. I think I wanted Hobbs and Amiss. (So 50% WA then)
22 and 23 - No picks

So I think it's fair to say I'm close to the opposite of a serial "I want WA player X" poster. I do want Allen.

I want to see us pick up another. We are at that stage to take a chance on a high risk, high reward type. Sign Stringer for two years. Probably come over here and get on the piss, but like Hawks picking up an overweight Dew back in the day..just have to roll the dice.

Get on the piss .......he is Muslim now

If we trade it I hope we get a 2nd this year and a 1st next year.

Then trade 2 seconds for a 1st this year

 

[The Lobbster]

I got really excited at this tweet but then listened to what I assume was the actual clip.

The clip basically says we offered 10 and 18, the Tigers want 10 and 11. There’s a small chance the Eagles get him but Cal expects we will get him.

So a whole lot of nothing really

 

[mattis117]

Sounds dumb

You don't think these two things are related? Putting pressure on the tigers.

 

[nurries]

There’s no way we trade pick 11 if we bring in Bolton

 

[Joao]

Only if we miss on Bolton. We could absolutely fleece someone for 11 this year.

But Bolton gets done.

 

[Eski3]

Sounds dumb

If we can get a bidding war and get a great deal for it it might force Richmond's hand with 10 and 18.
