Amazing. BigFooty posters might will a trade into existence. Have we become too powerful?

Names three players better than shai in the example...
Brisbane gave up absolutely nothing but salary for Daniher.
The Cameron trade is equivalent to us giving up all three first rounders but getting pick 21 and 29. Something Richmond fans wouldn't do apparently.
As I said, Richmond need more top picks more than they need Bolton. They'll do all they can to get as much as possible but the trade will get done.
Anyone that expects this to get done quick is very likely wrong. I'd be very interested how quickly Richmond change their hard stance if Kozzie was to come out and nominate Freo. They'd be accepting 9 or 10 and 17 as quickly as possible and be giving us a pretty decent pick back to ensure they get those picks.

True, but then again they might be poo. At least with Andy, we know what we have.

Oliver back on trade radar amid interest from Cats
Rival clubs believe Clayton Oliver is again an attainable trade target, with Geelong emerging as contenders for the superstar midfielder if Melbourne are prepared to trade him.
If Oliver gets to Geelong with Smith, either they must be shipping out SDK as is rumoured or the Mafia have finally taken over that club

Or……
Stanley delisted announced.
And yet here you are arguing about his trade value.....?
I think Richmond are all in the rebuild and the last thing they need is a flashy small forward on the big bucks while that happens. You guys have heaps of motivation with Tassie coming.
Only nagging concern I have about Bolton is that he’s won so much already.
Has the sweet taste of the ultimate prize twice already in his career dulled his appetite for more? Is he willing to go to the extraordinary mental and physical lengths every single AFL premiership player needs to reach in order to scale the mountain for a third time?
In saying that he’s a silk, cream on the top type that gets by on talent as much as effort so for that reason he might possibly be effective enough in his role, if there are enough hungry battlers around him.
He will need to lift significantly from 2024 levels in order to be seen as justifying his trade price though.
All things being considered, we have to make the trade, assuming the club has done its due diligence on injury history, etc.
there is no other option.

Dan Hannebery did well to get a gig on trade radio without even knowing the draft order
You appear to vastly overestimate the knowledge of the people on that show...

Still think bigfooty could put out a better product, if we all didn’t have other jobs to do

If you took the best from each club, rotated through them then took the worst from club on here you could get a hilarious and informative product but it would be a trainwreck with zero radio / podcasting experience

Plus the likes of an Ellis and other footy “people” from each state.
It’s not like anyone breaks news on trade radio, that’s all done via social media anyway.
It all just reaction to the event.
I’d imagine at a new club he’d want to impress. Being part of Freo’s first flag will make you immortal.
So, with that in mind you’d get a solid 12-24 months out of him before he may start to drift into ‘waste of picks’ territory.
Too much bias on here IMO but if you threw together the right posters maybe.
Seems the right opposition posters don’t come onto our board except the occasional neutral fan of a club not involved in our trades at all.
I think most of the actual journalists on trade radio actually do okay tbh - It’s the random ex-players that knew how to play footy but never really had any reason to care about trades or drafts that know ** all. It’d be better if they put on ex-list managers instead but there seems to be an opinion in the media that being an ex-player whose name people recognise is more important than getting someone who knows what the ** they’re talking about.
Can’t rely on talent’: Ex-coach demands Swans ‘put good players on the market’ after GF disaster
Former Sydney coach Paul Roos has called for his old side to be bold during this off-season and consider trading a star player, as the Swans are left to rue yet another grand final embarrassment.
