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

[Purple Suit]

One thing I particularly found interesting in David Walls’ comments was this. “ there was a couple of a grade players who told us they wanted to come to Fremantle “ “ I am not going to name those players “.
Now I have para phrased that a bit but you get my drift.
I am reading this as Chad and Kozzie have told me we want to come to Freo. “ can you get us there “ ?

If it’s Chad & Kozzie locked plus we have cap space, we are definitely trading pick 14 into next year.

“And the fact we’ve been able to bring Shai in but still have a first rounder for this year that will give us the ability to then use our first rounder next year and go two into the future with the number of first-round picks you have to use over a certain period of time.

“It’s a long way of saying three first rounders, I don’t think that’s ever been paid for any player in history, so I think that shows we’ve got enough.”

This is good to hear, meaning we won't be trading our first rounder out of this year

Bring on a gun small forward!

Could be a nice little loophole for us too, tell Sydney "Sorry we need to use our first this year, here is 2026 and 2027 firsts + 2025 second and third"

 

[Suma Says]

Matt Owies??

Their list management really is the gift that keeps on giving. A couple weeks ago I never could have imagined that we would get to make Matt Owies jokes for the next few years

2027 first rounders aren’t going to carry the weight unfortunately.

Tasmania are coming in for 2028 so unless you’re an absolute basket case I’m not sure clubs are going to see a 2027 first rounder the same way as most other years.

I’ve heard we’ll know what Tasmania’s concessions are by trade period next year but I highly doubt it doesn’t completely **** up the draft in some capacity. They’ve got to get 44+ players from somewhere and the draft is going to make up a fair bit of that.

My point is that it won't be up to us

It's at the AFL's discretion whether to allow us to trade the pick at that point

We could throw everything else we have available and realistically Sydney won't turn down 2 firsts a second and a third (Richmond)

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Has it sunk in yet that we’re actually getting a 25 year old Bolton!

Hand on heart. At the start of the year if you could cherry pick a player from a side Bolton would have to be in top 5 for our area of need?

We’re linked to 2 other guns: Warner and Pickett.

No one left.

Still a nice pick 14 roll of the dice.

A pick 30 to bid on Champion in a win-win bid.

Pumped!

Just watching his highlights again this morning. Holy moly. He can do anything when he’s on.

 

[Redgum]

What about Bobby Hill ,now he wouldn't be 1/2 bad either if we could get him.

I don’t think we’ll be allowed to trade three firsts unless Whan looks really good, we have the points to match and the AFL is feeling very generous (lol it’s us).

My point was that 2027 picks are going to be far less valuable than the other two years if Tasmania get the concessions I think they are extremely likely to get.

Narkle 3 finals and out wowee

 

[Wee Jessies]

Eagles are totally deathriding Hawthorn in 2025. They now have Hawks F1, F2 and F3.

Would 9th be the optimal result for Hawks with heaps of academy picks before that pick?

 

[Wee Jessies]

Trade all your players = A

Trade all your picks = A

Do 50/50 like Freo = B

Shit the bed WC style = C

Involve GC in any of your trades A+

 

[Tundrawolf]

Narkle 3 finals and out wowee

Hopefully he'll end up at South Freo, and hopefully Pickett will ask for a trade to Freo at the end of 2025.

Port Adelaide currently don’t have any list spots available until they delist players. Knowing that and who’s out of contact I’m hardly surprised.

FWIW the out of contract include F.Evans, L.Evans, Boak, Narkle and three blokes that haven’t played a game. L.Evans was only drafted in the MSD this year, is 18/19 and has already played 12 games, F.Evans played 17 games and I don’t really need to say anything about Boak (slight chance he retires I guess).

I've just assumed he is still on the rookie list though, opening spots on the rookie list don't count towards the minimum of 3 players

They enjoyed Owen 10 quite a lot

Guess we have Owies 12 now

He’s still a rookie. Port Adelaide ran with 37 on the senior list this year and can go to 38 so it does actually free up a senior list spot if Port want to go that way,

What I’d actually expect to happen though is Port move one or two to the rookie list along with cutting 4-5 (depending on Boak’s decision). Delisting Narkle makes space for that to happen. Looking at their picks, I’m expecting them to take four draft picks.

Would Narkle be an upgrade on Emmett?

 

[go_the_dockers]

Emmett is not best 22.

He may be an upgrade, but he is not best 22.

 

[mike91]

Would Narkle be an upgrade on Emmett?

Narkle doesn't get a third chance mate. Spud of the highest degree, lets not do this

 

[Ge3ks]

We have moved beyond the days of bringing in other clubs rejects.

 

[Outshined]

Switkowski is the Emmett upgrade. Bolton frees him up to focus more on the pressure small forward role.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Keep this thread going or do we have one for delisted and SSP potential?

Can I quickly point out we have had no exodus of players in 2024.
Are we now the settled team we need to be to play at our best ? Everyone including management are a happy team ?

Did have Matty Boyd leave after he was here from the start with JL though
