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

[Snuffaluphagus]

How are they doing this if he is signing a new contract? Genuine question rather than snark!

It's not really a new contract, I wouldnt think there is an issue with them paying something.

 

[Hamann188]

We also forced the eagles to split pick 3 because we feigned that we would use pick 11 on Baker. That is pretty aggressive in some way I suppose.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

I'm disappointed but not surprised that we caved, but in hindsight I might be happy about it. Now we pick after West Coast, they can cop the month of Bo Allen going to them in every conversation here and every phantom draft instead of us.

Seriously though, pick 14 better be a small forward of some description.

Fine with that, if it was up to this board we would have taken West Aussie Dev Robertson over the overrated Victorian kid Caleb Serong in 2019.

In the unlikely scenario Allen is there at 14 and we've rated him as best available, great. If not, best available at that point is fine with me. Sounds like a deep draft and we should get a good talent there.

 

[Purple Suit]

We have enough draft capital for a put of contract player. No one has been priced out of a player having access to all their picks

Exactly, Melbourne couldn’t get Cerra since they had no first rounder & just an F1 of the premiership team.

Next year having pick 18 & an F1 will be fine. We might have to offload our 25th best player too as steak knives. All assuming Warner chooses us & our smaller salary compared to WC.

Delighted to have another player who is willing to have a shot on goal, was driving me mad when Switta and others were passing off in the fifty and stuffing it up.

Shai is not as accurate as Walters but he makes things happen and makes the opposition nervous.

Freo is also building some nice accuracy with Tracey, Amiss ( it will return) and Sturt.

This is an exciting forward line and will win more games and sell some serious memberships.

Plus plus that if Pickett ever leaves Melbourne it will definitely be to Freo.

Already excited for next year which I would not have been if this deal fell over.

Just saw this on the WC board, pretty crazy

If the D.Rioli deal goes through as is being reported, Richmond will have as many first round picks in this draft as what West Coast have taken over the last ten years.

 

[Taylor]

Fair for Bolton was #10, #18 for Bolton and a late second/early third. So we got that with a 3 spot downgrade on another first.

That's not bad.

 

[Lach72]

Well he’s going to get opportunities.

Let’s hope with the three talls, Shai and Freddy etc, the coach is willing to embrace a bit more chaos ball.

 

[lukedean16]

Anything else happening for us?

I haven't seen anything that aggressive since Operation Blackbriar.

They'll certainly enjoy the draft. The side that runs out for R1 2025 ... not so much.

 

[freo_leo29]

Was just told by someone who know that Richmond are chucking in 100 to 200k a year for his contract.

If true it would be a massive win for us

It's basically a year free


Surely Daniels reports this

 

[Lach72]

Any interest in Konstanty?

 

[Paracleet]

We're in the Warner game because he'll likely nominate us and not West Coast, primarily because:

1) We'll be contending, they won't.
2) He's got 3 or 4 good mates he went through Junior ranks with at Easts.

Draft capital isn't irrelevant, but also not as important as some are making out. We can use futures, and have some quality NGA coming through next two years. Set up very nicely to be fair.

The difference in contract value is going to be significant. I am putting them in front for that reason alone. Playing with your mates is not worth a million bucks on its own. We really need them to be clearly still early in their rebuild even in the eyes of those of the meanest understanding.

 

[FreoBraddles]

Article than says.

Richmond offered 10,11,18 for Bolton and 14 on Tuesday. Freo said no, we need more.

West Coast made play on Wednesday.

Richmond then add F3 to deal proposed on Tuesday.

Freo agree, trade done.
Eagles play made Richmond concede what we wanted.

Thanks for coming.

I heard he’s a bit of a thug..

Let’s get him!

 

[Joao]

Ah OK, I'm no accountant obviously haha. But it still stands to reason he doesn't take home less money by spreading it over 5 than getting it all in 4 doesn't it? .

I'm not an accountant in any meaningful sense either.

Not sure about your question, I suspect there would be optimisations that could be done but I don't think that you could manipulate the situation to that extent.

 

[Taylor]

So what was West coasts offer? Future first and #12?

Mmmmmmm, not quite the same thing. The forced hand just brought our deal up to about evens. The Baker deal was just diabolical!

And for the record guys, I didn't just scurry back to our board with that post, I commented on the Eagles board too. Currently preparing for the incoming hatred.

 

[Lach72]

I heard he’s a bit of a thug..

Let’s get him!

They were just saying on Trade Radio he was the one who tackled Mills when they were on the squirt causing that long term injury, and he’s had his papers marked

To help, if it adds validity, it comes from someone who knew about his Richmond 1m per year extension before it was announced. I dont go too hard on rumours but this should be pretty legit

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

On the tax impact for players, it really doesnt matter because basically anyone not on rookie wages is in the top tax bracket every year regardless

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Hope Bolton can get a game under JL. What's his defensive stuff like?
