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

[Moo]

I am mainly dead against trading a pick into next year to look after Sydney, which we all know is the main point of doing it.

No it is not we, it may be the majority of you all - certainly not me.

My main aim in any of these dealings is to get into a better position. Turning Schultz into a 2025 top 5 pick is bloody good.

We don't have to trade for Warner. Even if we do and let's say you're right and we have to give up a NM Future 1st - it...gets the deal done, we keep our 1st round pick, 2nd round and future picks.

If the retort is they will demand our 1st rounder also - I'll stop here because it is hurting my brain that we can say to Sydney nope this is all you get in one scenario but not in any other scenario.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

I wouldn't mind Ned McHenry on the list (delisted by Adelaide) he is a quick and annoying small forward much like Nick Watson.

I feel if we signed Mchenry, likely means Emmett wouldn't get a deal.

 

[Moo]

Yes but quite frankly, the club doesn't operate the same way you do. They will give up pick 3 for him. You know it and I know it.

So if that pick 3 was at a cost of Pick 10 this year .....who cares?

 

[arsesmart]

Lots of clubs continually trade into and out of the next draft. It's always better to ensure we maximise flexibility and are best placed to pounce on what comes, known or unknown. Also Geelong, in the past definitely, haven't been afraid of putting up a little extra to get a deal done. It hasn't harmed them one bit.

Draft picks values are always speculative and fluid.

I am not against maximising value. I am against maximising value to look after another team and continue delaying the value we get. Do the trade with North but make sure it's effectively used this year.

Maybe this is all with my own rumour bias but the club seems to be very confident on Warner. If you are confident and think it's a sure thing, you don't set yourself up to pay more than you have to.

Because I'd rather a player this year and giving up hopefully two teens picks?

I do love you Snuff - so we'll leave it there or otherwise I may have to put you on the same list as Lach72

North isn't a guaranteed pick 3


They are loading up on experience this season, if they trade their F1 it means they've also brought Houston in


It may not be the upgrade most are thinking it is


Clubs don't stay down the bottom forever, their finish to the season was pretty good, should've won more games tbh

Richmond’s future 1st is the most desirable commodity.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

I hope I'm 100% wrong, but I think It will be our first 2 picks now for Shai. As much as I dislike it, pick 9 likely ends up 12. I dont think 12 and 17 is enough for a young star contracted tor another 4 years . I would hate to lose a contracted 25 year old Michael Walters

It is funny watching people lose it over the idea of trading for a future pick. Yet it’s the exact reason we have so many picks this year.

Maybe we didn’t do the trade last year with one single player in mind. But it was clearly done so we could be active and target players - whether it was McDonald, Warner, Pickett or Bolton. It’s easier to lay the groundwork when a manager knows you can get the trade done.

Spot on Chris

Waddya know everyone?

Another voice of reason that differs to the other voice of reason

Who’d of thought ?!

Absolutely, they're going the opposite way to North

Losing players and on the way down

 

[EastcoastDocker]

bolton has already mentally checked out of the tiges, his partner is already in Perth and announced as much to the whole world. Surely we dont blink first and offer something stupid like 10 n 11.

They’re not that stupid unfortunately

Unfortunately they don’t have a lot to lose.

I can see them being stubborn SOBs

Fine with that, McHenry is better as a pure small forward

I would almost guarantee that it isn't top 3.

 

[FreoBraddles]

Brodie is staying according to The West - who quote comments from Walls saying he isn't be shopped around, nor looking himself.

It's Freo, so there is always that risk.

But, for some reason, I don't think we do blink this time.

I think this trade is hurtling towards 10 and 11 for Bolton and 23

 

[Joao]

Why are people acting like anything major has changed?

Does anyone think Walls is surprised about the compensation picks? It is literally their job to know this stuff.

 

[Mr Cheese]

As long as salary contribution is appropriate, that's fine.

Have you got full article?

 

[Andyy]

We flat out do not have the cap space for Bolton, Pickett and Warner. There is no extra targets next year unless we push out a very good player - and then we have the picks anyway. Once Bolton is sorted, pick one of the others, that's it.

But for the right price, Richmond can afford to pay close to, if not all, of Bolton's wage for the remaining years on his contract with us because we are so shit now lol

Only question is; can Freo afford/find the capital to acquire all 3? Probably not.

Probably could but it would mean they would go into the next few drafts with basically nothing.
