Game Day 2024 Trade Period

[freocuz]

Any compromise we make will depend on how confident we are that Bolton has told Richmond he isn’t going back. If he’s indicated to Richmond that he’d be happy to come back if a suitable trade can’t be done then we’re going to need to overpay. If he’s told them to GAGF, then 10 & 18 is more than enough.

If Richmond weren’t keen to trade him, they would have shut it down ages ago.

And before any of you tiger nuffies chip in, unless you are Bolton or part of the RFC inner sanctum, then your opinion on what Bolton has said based on what you’ve read in the media means FA.

Gotta say if this happens I’ll start thinking we have a double agent inside the west coast list management team.

Turning down pick 10 and baker for pick 3, only to then go trade pick 3 for 12 and 14 and use 12 to get baker, leaving them with……


Baker and 14 for pick 3,

Would be…. Interesting. A novel strategy I’ll give them that!

I was laughed at, but if they’re in anyway dumb enough to do 3 for 12 and 14 we may as well offer 10 and 18 for 3.

Eagles keep 10 trade 18 for Baker.

We do 3 for Bolton.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Just don't see how carlton get up high enough to satisfy

It seems insane but if Rhino is going with it someone has said it's a good chance.

I've run out of adjectives for what WC seem to be doing, I would be sick in the stomach if it was.

Actually the more I think of it I don’t mind it.
A 9 pick down grade to get Baker while still getting a future first and change for Barrass is actually pretty good.

Might even get some change. We should legit be all over it if WC are entertaining these bat shit trades.

Lols

This will be our board if they do that:

What? It's ****ing insane, Baker and 12 for 3 is disgusting?

Is it? Is the guy at 3 that much better than 12 this year?
I don’t look at numbers. I look at what’s on the plate to be eaten

It probably wouldn't take much for many of us to nominate three internal changes that realistically would not only have us playing finals, but in the top 4 this year.

Here's three off the top of my head. Could come up with others too...

• Amiss having an extra preseason
• O' Driscoll developing to be a regular midfield option (not to mention continuity across the season)
• Johnson feeling more at home at the level and the resultant composure improvement

Midfield depth is the key along with best 22 players standing up when our stars are out injured. So, having said that you’ve pretty much nailed it.

I think better coaching/leadership in close games would help a lot. We went into our shells trying to defend a lead way too early most of the year - it even happened at Peel FFS!

Yes, its nuts. It's taking unders on 3 to pay overs on Baker. I'd burn Freo to the ground. You are still more likely to get a far better player at 3 and from what I understand 1-7 is a tier above still.

Surely they can get better value for pick 3 than that. Clubs are scrambling for pick 11, 12 and 13...Why wouldn't they be more interested in 3...

But never interrupt the enemy when they're making a mistake.

You have choice of the best positional player whereas at 12 you will still have quality just not the choice positional wise.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Man, now I'm frothing on 10 and 18 for 3 like Cobbler said. Can't believe it's an option for WC. Get on it Wallsy.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

We should trade a first round pick for future picks everyday next week until Richmond fold to our demands.

That's the Hans Gruber method of trading.

 

[ritz]

So let’s just think this through here.

Richmond are going to take a deal that’s is objectively worse than what is currently on the table?

Add the 30 to Richmond if necessary. 6 and 30 for Bolton is fair

Maybe.
I’m thinking about our trade for Bolton.
10 and 11 for Bolton and 20…maybe.

I wonder if a team doing a rebuild, like St Kilda could be talked into 8 for 18 and 20.
I reckon that’s better value than what Carlton coughed up for 14

Then three for Bolton? You know it makes sense

 

[Quazar2]

this trade period needs someone to help liven it up. More boring than you mum's favourite knitting club learning the seed stitch...

Come on down, West Croad Eagles

Could be a perfect storm.

There is no consensus top 3. Rather a top 6-8 players. So, anyone with a top 8 pick wouldn’t find the value to move to 3.

Then there’s a large spread of roughly equally ranked guys between say pick 10-30.

So, yes, teams are coming to have a plate at the buffet.

Moving 3 to 10 and getting Baker is historically horrendous. But the apparent evenness of the draft isn’t that bad.

Us placing that ‘pick 11 for Baker’ marker has possibly completely messed his valuation. That and Baker seems to have some ego or loyalty issues in making sure Tigers are adequately compensated. We may still benefit here.

10 and 18 for 3 in every year is bad, but it’s a means to an end.

What would be the point of that if 3 was going to Richmond anyway?

What are Eagles giving pick 3 for with Tigers?

I'm not sure we are going to have access to the players we are after at 11. Berry could be there, especially if someone bids on Kako.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Because they supposedly don't like 10 and 18. 3 is a take it or leave, don't be campaigners. Could even get something back

Reid would be fantastic, Tauru sounds like he's going top 10 as the best KPD in it. This highlights we get someone very nice at 11, not as nice at 18
