Game Day 2024 Trade Period

[Azz 27]

There's a lot of public relations games going on at the moment.

Richmond has four senior players, two contracted, abandoning the club.

What are they going to do, tell their members it's going to be even worse next season? Not going to work.

3 premierships by a lot of good will.

I am sure they could justify it, providing the kids are half decent

 

[Mesc]

I did actually.

Well in tomorrows meeting can you relax the demands a little, we are a good but starving bunch here. Thanks

Trade period doesn't start for another week so listening to the radio is a waste of time. Is there any chatter on when the Bolton trade will be done?

Last 2 hours of the trade period is only time it’s worth it.

 

[s_wd6]

If Bolton gets done, then currently there are no spots available with those 3 draftees included.

Kuek and Corbetts spots were already taken by Sharp and Voss.

Stanley, Hughes, Williams and Tabs frees up 4 spots which Bolton and the draftees fill.

I'll be very surprised if Emmett is still on our list next year

They will have trouble filling their seats at the games with paying members if they are rubbish and they won't exactly sell them this time of year losing three of their highest contributors and Graham.

I dont believe this is correct. Corbett had his spot taken by Voss but Kuek's delisted opened up a spot

Ah yes correct you are. I had just assumed that one of them had been retained and had already filled that spot in my head

Good response.
I have no doubt Freo would be Boltons choice of club but you can’t blame Richmond for holding him up for the highest bidder.

 

[Cobbler]

Ok.

What about North pick 2 and 40 for pick 10, 27 and our F1??

Doesn't compromise our Bolton deal. Allows them ammunition for Houston.

We then have pick 2! Still grab Bolton for 9 and 16.

Put 2 on the table for Pickett or Chad?

Dan Hannebery on trade radio apparently said Saints going hard at Brayshaw and LDU this year. If nothing happens then will be back next year again.

Not at all. They would be silly not to with a contracted player of his caliber.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Do we read anything into Stanley being deliated this late? Why not just do it earlier?

Yeh i thought that was a bit strange too.

Probs clearing a spot for Gulden.

100% it must be read into.

 

[Van_Dyke]

even if there isn't, it's our duty to speculate for days

I've lost track of how many spots on the main or rookie list we have left - may have decided they want to try move emmett to the rookie list and take his spot on it?

 

[Swiggy]

North or freo aren’t doing that deal. Freo need to keep future picks in case Warner becomes available.

North are trying to move there F1 to get something this year For Houston

Keep your grubby hands of him Ross !

Imo he was on "if you impress in this finals series and/or if NOD leaves, you'll probably have a list spot." Easy to clown your persistent Stanley optimism with hindsight goggles, but 12 months ago everyone had the same take. Hard not to with how rapidly he progressed from amateurs to AFL debut. Club probably saw those things and it was enough to have 1 last chance. Unfortunately he played poorly enough to be dropped in the Grand Final.

The most significant part of it all is that he was the only one announced. Knobel, Emmett and Jones left in limbo. The first 2 on that list I'd practically guarantee will be on an AFL list next year, and Jones showed enough despite concussions for anything other than an extension to be incredibly harsh.

Them 3 are likely on some sort of "watch this space", whether it has to do with list spots, talks with other clubs or a combo of the 2.

No chance on Brayshaw.

 

[Mesc]

No chance on Brayshaw.

We need to get him signed ASAP or there's going to be stories like this all year.

I wouldn't read anything into it. May have been hoping to get a pick from him, may help him get to an Adelaide team.

I dont believe this is correct. Corbett had his spot taken by Voss but Kuek's delisted opened up a spot

The Lobbster



Here is the count as I see it. I expect 2 of the remaining 3 to be gone as well, but who knows.

Someone mentioned that based on instagram, 2 or 3 more people are gone. I can't find the post.
If someone is super keen, check Instagram comments and find out.

I will try to keep this post up to date on the contract thread.

Just putting this here, so I know how many list spots we have open and who is still out of contract.

We currently have 3 spots open. Ideally we get this to 6, before we look at bringing in anyone other than Bolton.


Gone
Ethan Hughes
Josh Corbett - spot taken by Voss
Matt Taberner
Sebit Kuek
Conrad Williams - Cat B
Ethan Stanley

Unknown
Max Knobel
Odin Jones
Tom Emmett

Adding Taylor's info, normally more reliable than mine


Current list profile has:
Total: 40 players
Primary list: 33 (also Emmett, Knobel out of contract)
Rookie List (A): 6 (Jones, Stanley out of contract)
Rookie List (B): 1

Currently,
3 national draft picks, 3 rookie draft picks.
to
5 national draft picks, 1 rookie draft picks.

If all out of contract players, do not re-sign.
So potentially 30 primary list players, 3x cat A rookies, 1x cat B rookies total.

5 national draft picks, 4 rookie draft picks.
to
7 national draft picks, 2 rookie draft picks.

For what it is worth, Freo now has a very good list. It’s time for you to throw caution to the wind and get the final pieces in place. It doesn’t matter if it’s Bolton, Pickett or others. It’s time for Freo to put up and stop rooting around. Richmond topped up and paid overs for Prestia(pick6), Geelong 3 first rounders for Cameron. Brisbane a top 10 for Daniher. With the competition at the top very even just a little quality add on can make the difference. Good luck.

Jones got a year I thought, when they announced Reidy and Voss.

Is a bit strange but had he not been delisted we couldn't really read into that either - if we were waiting to see if someone is coming by trade he'd be getting delisted after the trade period anyway. Probably just has something to do with the timing of his exit interview for some reason
