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

[The Lobbster]

I would prefer to spend that capital on Warner or Pickett. 2 first rounders and schultz for a 26 year old.

I'll hold my celebrations.

I'm watching the Croad trade all over again.

But Pickett and Warner aren’t available? At least this year.

It was draft or Bolton. There weren’t more options than that. And I prefer Bolton.

Sure that’s lovely…point me to where Pickett and Warner are available

And no, you’re not watching the Croad trade because Croad was a Victorian who never wanted to come here.

 

[DragoDelph]

If this was the compromise, explains why it it couldn’t get done last week.

Once WC shat the bed and hawks gave away pick 14, we had to wait

Hypothetical. I would spend picks like that one those two. I don't think Bolton will be worth what we paid. Only time will tell.

I am unhappy with that trade deal if true... Would think it should be a F2 at least. Basically traded 11 for 14+F3

Woah a 3 pick slide, let’s not over react now

 

[Lach72]

I am very happy Bolton is playing for us, he will be such a joy to watch at Optus. Don't let this distract you from the fact that we got reamed and Wallzy folded. Why the **** was pick 18 involved in this deal? We gave up picks 10 and 11 and had access to some great talent!! If they aren't covering salary then Wallzy can fk off.

Giving up 10, 11 and 18, three first rounders is Chad Warner territory. Pick 14 means fk all.

Ah yeah it does

 

[noise36]

Are we happy or melting? please let me know how to feel guys.

 

[DragoDelph]

It was still only 2x 1sts.

 

[Wabjub]

Dunno why people are pissed off this much.

It's a 3 pick downgrade or a 4 pick upgrade from 18 (which is more likely thr case as Tiges always wanted 10 and 11) We are still in for Bo Allen or whoever the club wants. And got Shai.

Stop having a melt down.

It’s 2 first rounders since we get one back. 14 set to be the best one of the lot too considering how many teams could have used it.

 

[freo84]

Meh. It's a meh trade.

It isn't the worst trade that we've done...

Pick 14 means **** all? Haha OK

 

[BStaff17]

I'm blocked but can someone do a search on his timeline and find the time he said "Hogan isn't a key forward", that Fremantle should get Ben Brown as well.

(from:username) search topic

I liked the video about Josh Treacy tbh.

Where he basically said he was delist material.

 

[what a game]

I don’t mind it to be honest. I wonder if we find out how much $ component there is. Freo has been getting money involved for a few trades the last few years

 

[Roksman]

Richmond fans have to be the most delusional fans in the league don’t think I’ve seen anyone over value their players like they have been

 

[Madas]

It's not a great deal, but its not bad either. Essentially 2x R1 with a 3 pick downgrade on 11 and a F3 coming back to us.

Factoring in his contracted status, it’s close. I would expect Richmond are going to absorb most of his contract with this deal too so it's probably fair in the end.

How do we find out if they are paying some of his salary and for how long ?

If they are I’m ok with this deal
If they aren’t we got bent over …… again

On a positive note I’m pretty bloody excited to have Shai in the team , he can be our new Sonny and I hope he takes it to Super Sonny levels to get us that elusive bloody flag

Who says we want Bo Allen?

Why can people not be unhappy with the trade?

 

[mayne iac]

JOE BERRY!!

 

[Freoforever86]

More I look at the deal, the more I’m fine with it.

Hopefully Tigers are paying cap but

 

[lukedean16]

How good are the nga players next year? Like first round good or second to third round?

 

[Lach72]

We finally have a good small forward…since Ballantyne and Sonny declined it’s been ****ing dire

 

[wakojako]

We paid the equivalent of pick 2 in points people, that is way overs. It's not a coincidence we paid overs for Jackson.

 

[Wizard]

JOE BERRY!!

Is he still available at 16?

 

[Madas]

Are we happy or melting? please let me know how to feel guys.

We have Shai f(king Bolton in our team !!!!!

I’m flipping ecstatic

Whan will be 2nd or third. Hart after most likely
