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

[Tonga Bob]

Highlander rules.

There can be only one three

Exactly. These punks need to know what they're signing up for if they come for us.

 

[ubiquitous226]

We either get a trade today or we get mod blood.

Cmon, wouldn't even be the worst recent mod take on trading.

That would be Snuffaluphagus.

 

[Tonga Bob]

That's right. Now shut your cakehole and let the man cook.

Besides, if Bolton isn't in purple today Van_Dyke & I will administer appropriate retribution.

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Probably too late for today, but Bolton will be in purple tomorrow.

 

[Quay Club]

If things play out as expected with prospective trades I think the Crows make the biggest gain on the rest of the comp this off season adding 3 handy role players in areas of weakness all for 1 2nd Rd pick and a chunk of salary that they can spare easy enough , take a top 5 pick at the draft and bring in a 1st Rd’ish F/S

If they get Sid Draper at 4 they might surprise a few people next year I think

After a Freo trade drops...

Snuffaluphagus is just a peasant like us though. I want to bring down the brass.

DragoDelph if the Bolton trade doesn't happen today:

 

[PeopleEater]

What time are we organising the public stoning of Drago Delph if the rumour the trade would get done today isn’t true?

(only joking … mostly)

I'd love to partake but my companies D&A policy prohibits these types of recreational activities

 

[DragoDelph]

To be fair, I didn’t actually say there would be a trade.

I know what I’m signing up for

 

[serial_thrilla]

Has DragoDelph been writing cheques he can't cash again?

 

[Alfonz]

Wouldn't be surprised if we are waiting until Wednesday afternoon for the Bolton trade to go through. As far as I can tell, there is a live broadcast of the closing hour or two on Foxtel. Maybe another stream on the AFL website? They want drama. Even if contrived. The AFL even refer to it on their own website as " the prime-time finish on the final day now an established part of the wheeling, dealing and drama."

My prediction is the only trades that happen before Wednesday are Peatling, Noble, Macrae, Parker, Stringer, that sort of thing. Barrass and Baker maybe. Can see the Smith, Rioli, Houston and Bolton trades being pushed to the last hour.

I got given the brick reaction for a reason

 

[Fred Ziffel]

South east Asia generally I believe

I have a condo in Chatuchak in Bangkok with sweeping city skyline views.
Definitely the land of smiles. Sabai de mai.

"Week one, day four, hour 4, minute 15....................... no signs of freo trade".

"Did you write that down"?

"Hell no"

 

[guidodp15]

Has DragoDelph been writing cheques he can't cash again?

Has he ever got something right? I only know CTD to actually know stuff

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

To be fair, I didn’t actually say there would be a trade.

Oh. Just talking about his underwear colour choice ? Hmmmm.....

 

[DMan 11]

Beaches also full of rubbish though sadly.

Just got back from Siargao - was paradise over there. Crystal clear and impeccably clean … no rubbish anywhere

I'd go as far to say I'd be very surprised to see the Bolton trade done before Wednesday.

If anything I think you've overestimated how many trades are done before say Tuesday.

I reckon Peatling and Barrass will get done before Tuesday. Noble too but only if it's completely seperated from the Houston/Richards and Lukosuis trades. Stringer needs to hurry up and nominate GWS otherwise he's going to be last afternoon for sure.

Highlight of today's news is this photo of Josh Smillie, a top draft prospect, in the afl.com.au's trade feed

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Sitting off Whitehaven Beach is not terrible either...

But it’s not Krabi, Phuket.

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

Recently spent a week at the Sofitel Krabi. A bit out of the way but fantastic for the ol' drop and flop
