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

[Arkhitect]

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, its 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.

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Got our boi stoked

 

[Thistle]

I'm okay with the deal. Probs a bit overs but a guaranteed gun in their prime should be worth it. And we still have a solid first rounder.

 

[Farrand]

All of these things could have happened if we had pick 11 instead of 14. Why be dramatic.

Because it's more of the same. I don't know why everyone thinks he's the answer to all our problems.

 

[Purple Suit]

It's funny that this is the only trade in history that seemingly guarantees a flag...

What happens if he blows his knee pre-season? What if he catches the back home bug and hardly cares anymore?

We have paid too much for Bolton.

Who says that?

We actually paid Shultz & 2 x 2nd rounders in the end for an A grader in our biggest positional need.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

He's not the answer to all our problems. It's just a trade for a good player.

Freo always pay overs

Losing 18 is annoying

You’re right…why don’t other clubs think of this too…never trade at all…just draft.

Sincerely hope Bolton helps you win a flag. If nothing else your day at the footy will be exciting.

 

[Docker82]

I’m going to wait and see what the trade is before I say we caved.

If we bring in Pick 14 and I can assess the trade as not being worth much more than Pick 10 & 18 I’m not sure we caved. It’s just a compromise.

‘Other picks changing hands’ to me suggests there’s quite a few picks involved but it could just be that Twomey doesn’t quite know what they are.

Reckon both clubs have known the rough details of this trade since Richmond got the Baker deal done tbh.

Unfortunately there is no one course of action that will fix all our problems. I don’t think our entire pan for next year is “We’ll get Shai and then sit on our arse until he fixes everything”

We brought in 14 and pick 37 next year.
Shai is a docker

 

[DocT]

Someone should do one of these about AFL Trade Period and post it on every team's board. It would win BF Post of the Year.

 

[jimboslice]

I'm bored now lets trade for someone else

 

[Roksman]

Who cares if you paid overs, that's what you do to win a flag.

Bolton is going to take the piss for you guys and I hope you get a flag out of it.

Its a win for both.

 

[wakojako]

Can we shoot the next Richmond supporter that comes in here to justify the price.

 

[Serongnthnks4allthefish]

It's not outrageous overs. So yeah, fine in the end.

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.

 

[Lach72]

So we have brought in Shai, still have a first and a second and gained pick 37 next year.

Satisfied with that tbh

 

[Polo342]

Feel like we coulda kept 18 somehow. But still pretty happy. Welcome aboard Shai!!

 

[arsesmart]

It's definitely overs. F3 is at least something. Bolton is one potential piece of the puzzle for next year.

 

[Cobbler]

I’m pumped.
Bolton has come from the clouds.

It’s all relative. No one saw Pies dropping so poorly. Same us with 4 weeks to go. Picks 10 and 11, likely 13 and 14. Sure, that means 14 = 17.

We still have pick 14 and 30. F3 is whatevs but it’s points and will be around 40.

There’s a minor chance 30 is still used in a 3 way with GC and Tigers to move up.

Bolton helps us massively in an area of massive need.

 

[nurries]

Pick 14 has been run ragged

 

[Docker82]

Are Richmond actually taking 7 or 8 top 30 picks this year?

I know what they’re doing but geez it’s going to be painful for 2-3 years with that many 18 year olds coming onto the list.
