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

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

Just spoke to someone who is mates with Kozzie Pickett and he said that Kozzie is still very keen to get back home to WA

 

[Dockeroo]

The Whisp is back

Hmmm. Are we.. bringing in a bad boy I wonder?

It might not be the worst thing in the world actually if we were. Still haven’t shaken the feeling that our team is too cleancut and nice.

We went from one extreme to the other there within a couple of years.

Probably happy to see him go as he probably doesn’t have the patience to play with a load of crabs. You can see it on the field.

 

[mattis117]

Absolute troll. No he doesn’t and if so it’s too late.

It's never too late until the bell rings to close. Trades have come from nowhere on the last day before and will do so again.

 

[Ysaye]

You don't think the guys that will be available at 11 are far more appealing to us then those at 18 (taking into account academy players)?

No not necessarily - so long as we are not over-emphasizing a particular type of player or home state.

I think the order in which people through that part of the draft will come across as a bit random because of the eveness of the talent, and location and positional needs of individual teams will influence the order more than often (For example - I can totally see a team that has many picks being more focussed on filling gaps rather than going for the best player). As a consequence, some players that we rate at around 8-12 will have a high probability to go in actuality 17-20.

Would usually say yes but this is Melbourne we’re talking about. They are self destructing inside and will just hold them all except Oliver. Oliver will get done for “Brand Petracca”

3 club trade

Eagles
out 3
In Baker, 10, F2 (Freo)

Tigers
out Bolton and Baker
In 3 and 18

Freo
out 10, 18, F2
In Bolton, F3 (Eagles)

I'd be very careful trading out anything from next year unless we're getting something better back. I think we'll have 1 or 2 pretty big trades to get done.

 

[Azz 27]

Any idea on how accurate this account is?

Not very, but there is reports Yze could not get Bolton to follow game plan

 

[arsesmart]

3 days left. It simply can’t be done this year.

Umm.... 3 days is a massive amount of time in trade terms (clubs have scenario planning up the watusi)...the Oliver shenanigans switching a gear may shake all sorts of things loose... that's the only way it might sort of perhaps maybe happen, nevertheless it's highly unlikely Pickett's moving this year just on circumstance.

Plus two NGA's

 

[Superkoops]

I think we can essentially do that with Richmond and not involve others. We laughed at you before but seems like you were spot on with 10 and 18 if 12 and 14 is even being discussed.

Oh man.

Eagles are gonna do it, aren’t they?

Trade pick 3 for 12 and 14.

I doubt very much. They will want something additional back from Carlton and they can’t give WC anything else. They had to get that F2 from Brisbane to be able to trade out their own F1 and F2.

What people are not taking into consideration is the possibility that Richmond said we want a top 8 club’s F1 for Baker. Hence Hawks running off and doing the trade. So WC would then keep 12+14.

Carlton have basically nothing else to give as it stands though

They may have some players, but nothing of note.

Our F2 for Eagles F3 isn’t a big difference.

 

[freo1997]

As expected Hawks will offer up their F1st and one of the other F2 for Barrass. There’s enough there to facilitate the Baker Trade.

Pretty clear path where I stand. Unless Eagles argue about the worth of Barrass, which they will until deadline day.

 

[Cobbler]

Not very, but there is reports Yze could not get Bolton to follow game plan

To be fair, there were 18 players on the field that couldn’t follow the game plan. Unless, said plan was to allow the opposition to get out to a 10 goal lead.

Yze has a game plan?

They are happy to see the contract go..

Yeah that's great but then he should go speak to their list manager... He hasn't so he's not that keen..

 

[guidodp15]

Yze has a game plan?

Concerning for West Coast if he got the job over Mcqualter

 

[Purpletown]

It probably wouldn't take much for many of us to nominate three internal changes that realistically would not only have us playing finals, but in the top 4 this year.

Here's three off the top of my head. Could come up with others too...

• Amiss having an extra preseason
• O' Driscoll developing to be a regular midfield option (not to mention continuity across the season)
• Johnson feeling more at home at the level and the resultant composure improvement

Agree, there is plenty of growth within our players that can be brought to the forefront in 2025.
On the other hand we don't have many players who are in decline. Fyfe and Walters definitely fit into that category. JOM and Aish are on the cusp of being pushed out. It's brutal but the sooner we find replacements for all four of them the better.

 

[bigfoopy]

This will be our board if they do that:

Eagles slide back to 12 and 14 and send one of those to Richmond for Baker, we’ve been shit before but never have we been this clueless as a football club

 

[ubiquitous226]

Concerning for West Coast if he got the job over Mcqualter

There seemed to be some fairly strong messaging Richmond was looking for some more external input, probably to reset where the club was heading which in my view was aimed at pushing to rebuild now.

 

[apuchar]

Port reckons he dangles himself in front of them every year and nothing comes if it. It's up to him to make the running here, if he is genuinely interested in coming to Freo.

 

[DocT]

They are happy to see the contract go..

100% this. Huge contract while Richmond are not going to be contenders for all (or nearly all) of it.
Why isn't this aspect being talked about more in our top level BF trade negotiations?
