Pick 4 according to draft guru

Can confirm.

 

[rgauci]

Can someone put together all the parts that lead to this?

Schultz and all the picks / years that lead to Bolton?

Oh well give them everything they ask then shall we?

We didn't though. They wanted 10 and 11 so that they ended up with 10, 11 and 14. They ended up with 10, 11 and 18. We met almost exactly in the middle of the ask and offer which is a pretty reasonable expectation. We also don't know what's happening with salary but I'd wager that Richmond are going to help us to keep our young core together through our contention years while adding an AA small fwd which is worth its weight in gold.

 

[nurries]

But we're trying to win a flag next year? Also it's pretty silly to think that drafting two players at 10 and 18 is remotely the same as drafting a Sheezel or Reid in the top 3. It's a good trade and there's no doubt there is salary at play behind the scenes. Walls isn't a fool.

It makes sense when we are resigning Andy if Tigers are paying a substantial part of Bolton’s contract for a few years at least

 

[Tom14]

Good trade, good business. Get the fella in who addresses a glaring list need, maintain a first round pick in an historically deep and even draft and get on with being a serious footy club.

Got the deal done for the best player available in the trade period, and the player exactly matches your list need imo.

I wouldn’t care too much about a three pick slide from 11-14. Cost of trading in a contracted player in his prime.

 

[Jezzitizle]

I’m good with that trade, it’s to have a crack at a flag and we don’t have any other glaring holes in the list we need to address.

If Bolton kicks 40 goals for us next year everyone will forget the cost.

Really adds a dimension to the midfield also.

I wonder if the Tigers are paying part of the contract.

Now that I think about it, one of our picks wasn't even ours it was Collingwood's pick which makes it a bit better. I really wanted Travaglia or Lindsay

 

[Lach72]

Bolton Amiss Sturt
Freddy Treacy Jackson

Yep already forgotten trade cost

 

[Wabjub]

no we're not (in for Allan) necessarily, Eagles pick before us and they too will target WA talent

ofc, we can rest assured they may yet find a way to shit the bed there, too

Stop living in the past we have become very good at drafting. Living up to the user base "Doomsday". Lighten up princess.

 

[Docker82]

We've basically turned Schultz into Bolton and a 3 picks backslide.

Pick 18 had nothing to do with Schultz. And the luck on the Schultz trade doesn’t really change anything - Pick 11 is Pick 11 no matter how it got to the club.

Having said all that I fail to see how this trade is that much worse than Picks 10 and 18 was.

Pick 37 next year will be handy for us if our NGA guys are much good and/or if we trade our first rounder for a gun player.

 

[Andy Brennan]

Pick 14 should still be valuable from a drafting or trading perspective in an even draft. The 3rd rounder is likely to be pick 37 which is still useful.

And we get a small forward.

Perfectly cromulent trade.

Our 2nd last year our deal 2nd this year. Schultz + our 1st this year for Bolton, 14,F3

Trade radio just said Richmond sent paying anything

They asked for 10 & 11, net 18
We proposed 10 & 18 , net 11
We gave 10,11,18 and got net 14

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Weak as piss. At worst should have been 10, 11 and 30 for Bolton and 14.

 

[Docker82]

One maybe late first. Another one hard to place.

Having said that I remember when Jason Carter was talked about in those terms a year out.

It’d be pretty handy for future trading if Whan gets himself to around Pick 20 or so (that’ll still be first round next year). We’d be getting a reasonably good player draft wise as well.

If trade radio said it, they must be paying the whole lot.

 

[sumavich]

Paid too much, but Shai will be a handfull at Optus

This is the only palatable aspect.
I also like those talking up the deal as if it’s a “given” … just for cope, as obviously they know we caved big time too
