Game Day 2024 Trade Period

[DragoDelph]

We then get to Deathride Carlton and Hawthorn.

 

[Jezzitizle]

You HAVE to take that from Melbourne. That's an incredible deal that shows how ****ing delusional the people at that club are

 

[Duz97]

Not sure why Carlton or pies don’t go hard at Barrass and then eagles can just give the first pick to Richmond for baker

 

[CapitalA]

Houston was ranked 12th at Port for score involvements in 2024. In 2023, he was 11th at Port. About 135th in the whole competition. His best 2 years. Bolton (or more to the point, Richmond) had a down year in 2024 and he still comfortably beat Houston in that metric. And over Bolton's two best years in 2022-23, he was top 10 in the whole competition. Bolton is on a much higher level than Houston for scoreboard impact.

I believe you are wrong.

 

[kuhni]

Yeah we need to get a piece of that. Melbourne are bottom four next year.

I find them a hard read. Lever, Petracca, Gawn play more of the year and Oliver gets a full preseason they could be 6-10.
They have top-end quality but just lack even a makeshift key forward.

I´m not sure if pick 8-12 next year is as valuable as 10,11 this year given the supposed depth.

Besides, that is only in relation to their current ladder position.

It's crazy that a club with 3 of the last 7 premierships expects us to pay tax on a Player because:
A) They're now hopelessly shit
B) They missed getting that tax from the AFL when said player turned his back on FA in full support of the club, only for the coach to go chase some coin and a mass exodus of players wanting to do the same ensued.

Seriously get stuffed Richmond. How funny would it be if Shai had to go back with his tail between his legs and we took 10 and 18 to the draft. Shit for Shai but honestly not that big a deal for the club in the long run. Worst case our window may be delayed but be a couple of years wider when it does arrive.

Hawthorn:

 

[dominguez]

Hawks send 2x F1 to GC for pick 13?

Barrass trade becomes 13?

We should send them 11 for those 2x picks, just to see west coats spend 11 on Baker.

Then they could have just done this years first and F1 to WC with something going back?

 

[CapitalA]

Yeah,

missed it whem my kebab turned up

Ordering kebabs while making trade proposals....I think we found Wallsy's big footy account.

 

[DragoDelph]

Yeah, but we're all assuming that they're geniuses.

They may not be.

 

[guidodp15]

I know the family. Ross came in and said no. Mitch wanted nothing more than to come home.

Wow, that’s interesting. I remember the Ross line interview outside of freo Oval saying how we were working really hard to get the deal done

That's the thing. I genuinely think our side will be challenging for a premiership next season regardless. Bolton doesn't = premiership, he just helps. However so will whatever kids we pick up this and next year to replace the likes of Sonny, Fyfe and JOM.

There's no losing this trade period even if we walk away from a Richmond trade. The only way I see it as a loss is if we throw everything at a Bolton trade for that 'sugar high'. Walls and co aren't that stupid and have shown over years that they are reasonable people with their heads screwed on. If it falls through, it's clearly Richmond being flogs and we'll be fine.

A cynic would say it's more convenient for the family to blame Ross then admit Clark and his esteemed manager at the time, one Colin Young, were duplicitous lice

 

[Alfonz]

I believe you are wrong.

I'm not wrong. I'm using averages. But if you want to go by totals, Bolton had 161 and 172 in 2023 and 2022, which blows away the 108 from Houston. It's closer to Butters and Horne-Francis territory (less on total, but Bolton's average over 2022-2023 is better than them). The best on our side last year were Serong-Young-Brayshaw with 157-161-169. How much are all these players worth?

I vaguely remember a guy claiming to be his brother saying that he was offered way more money and his grandmother insisted he take it at Melbourne instead of being close to home.

Fair enough I stand corrected. I'm still not trading 10 and 11 for him though, I think 10 and 18 is stilla very good deal.

 

[Perfect Purple]

We can now hope that Hawk’s actions today become a cautionary tale for Richmond and they stop dithering about with our offer lest we swap our Pick 10!

 

[Docker82]

Media understand pick 11 off the table and they talk about our future first for Bolton

On SM-S918B using BigFooty.com mobile app

Our future first would be so far off the table they may as well be talking about Caleb Serong.

We need to make finals first.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

I think this is them wanting 10+11

On a side note how will Barrass get to Hawks?

The best they could get now is the pick 20 they just received from Brisbane.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Pick 18 in next year's draft for Shai seems like a good deal to me.

 

[Purple Suit]

With the benefit of hindsight Ross got that right.

Na, I recon if he comes to WA maybe he gets his head right and is the difference in the 2013 GF. The bloke we played instead was the worst on ground.

 

[Purple Suit]

Hawthorn:

I thought that was WC.

This is Hawthorn
