Game Day 2024 Trade Period

[King Huskii]

I have to love Port for this. Pies popping champagne sending messages to reporters about the deal they are about to fleece "interstate" clubs with and Port go "nup, kidding"

Get ready to learn Kangaroo Houston.

They should of said only if we keep the prison bars without legal challenges

It’s absolute bullsh** Brisbane and Gold Coast will get their players for those picks.

It shouldn’t be possible for the premier to match pick 1 unless they trade something very significant (future first/s, gun player etc.). They’ve traded out absolute **** all to get to where they’re at. It’s a disgrace.

Essendon I can kind of live with because their not getting top 20 draft picks for free pretty much every year.

I’m not sure exactly how it all works or if this idea could work , but….
Why couldn’t the AFL keep using the same
Points system they have except if a player is bid on in round 1, the club has to match with picks that include a round 1 pick.

Just for round 1 only. So they still get to match a round 1 pick they just don’t get away with multiple rubbish picks. Be an interesting draft night plus some pick swaps for clubs with an early pick.

Fingers crossed

Hahahaha, WC getting Owies, 12 and 14 for 3 by the sounds of it

 

[Hammersoup]

Hahahaha, WC getting Owies, 12 and 14 for 3 by the sounds of it

They are mad. I thought Owies was ooc?

 

[Midnite65]

Hahahaha, WC getting Owies, 12 and 14 for 3 by the sounds of it

If so let's hope pick 3 becomes the next Bont. Also wondering how Liam Ryan, Cripps, Owies and Long are all going to go in the same forward line?

It will look even worse when they give 14 for Baker

 

[TheMcManusNose]

Dunno…seems reasonable on Port’s side of the deal tbh

Yeah seems great for Port, Collingwood get ****ed

 

[King Huskii]

They are mad. I thought Owies was ooc?

I'm fine with it

 

[ubiquitous226]

They are mad. I thought Owies was ooc?

Not only was he out of contract, he hadn't been offered a contract or had much interest.
I.e. he should be valued as a delisted free agent - nothing

 

[Carnthedockers]

sensational.

[Snuffaluphagus]

It wouldn't be the first time nor will it be the last time I have a definitive opinion and look stupid but ill go on a limb and say this shapes as one of the worst trading efforts for a club ever.

They've been ****ed by Hawks into trading pick 3 for 12, Baker and Matt Owies - two late 20s players between eh and delist worthy when they are rebuilding...

It's utterly insane

 

[Cobbler]

 

[Bender571]

If WC really do that deal there must be a genuine trade embargo between them and us. It makes so much more sense to trade 3 for 10 and 18.

 

[Paracleet]

 

[freo1997]

Eagles are hoping to shoot up the ladder. Pyke, Woosha, Mini in the Richmond years. Lesser extent Schofield at Subiaco. These are guys who expect success being served to them on a platter. Self entitlement.

Splitting 3 in this draft is a Connoly/Schwab thing. Reminiscent of 2001 for us. Absolute fools.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

If we do this trade, time to throw out Peter Bell. He's done some shockers lately, seems to be trying to bring in experienced players to help his buddy JL rather than bringing in what we need.

That Peter Bell is in charge of our Special Operations Task Group. Put some respect on his rank.

I've read that the rebuild doesn't start until they get the picks for Harley

If it's #3 for #12, #24, Baker and Owies it's not terrible.

But WC still coughing up a lot.

But how do we feel about #10, #11 and #30 to Richmond for Bolton, #14 and #51?

 

[The Round House Drunk]

I wonder if they are going to meet Owies’ $800k salary request?

What do you mean it’s not terrible splitting pick 3 to give pick 12 or 14 to Richmond for Baker is disgusting, and also hilarious.

You are probably joking but that was confirmed to be bullshit.
