List Mgmt. 2024 Trade Thread - No.2

Excited for tomorrow now.. damn.

The only way I’d consider this trade/draft period a success is if we end up with Lalor, Smith, O’Sulllivan or Draper on our list.

Nothing else really matters. Pick 8 is fools gold, pick 9 a distraction / fantasy and so not worth the price to obtain it.

How do punters on here balance the contradiction of the draft being super even from 8-30 yet pen 1000 pages of pick 9 love letters..??

Could not be more thrilled were after pick 3. I honestly don’t even care what it costs. There are a clear available top 4 (as there are every year), so let’s just put one on our list.

Absolutely loving how pro active we are.

Take a deep breath, and accept that nothing will happen.

Surely something happens! Maybe not tomorrow though you’re right

How have you been good Sir ?

Yeah great thanks. Just back in Isa been in Yeppoon for three months.
I actually made some bread rolls yesterday but they came out like little hard scones. Might have another crack tomorrow.

Best bit of news from the trade period tbf

I’m starting to warm toward Kane.
I’ve already warmed to Kingy.

Wonder who is our target at 3. Highly likely Lalor and FOS are gone especially if North trade pick 2. Maybe Langford is who the pimple is after? Tall marking goal kicking midfielder that offers a POD. We have enough speed in the team to offset his slowness.

If North trade out pick 2 and we had pick 3 would you pick up Taru?

Currently in this years draft Gold Coast have picks -
6 (1751pts)
13 (1212pts)
23 (815pts)
29 (653pts)
41 (412pts)
50 (273pts)
78 (0pts)

If we bid on Lombard with Pick 7 (1644pts) then Gold Coast will need 1315pts to get him (that's with the 20% discount) .... so they could use pick 29, 41 & 50 (1338pts) to get him ..... which leaves them with pick 13, 23, 78 ...... but in next year's draft they also have Beau Addinsall & Zeke Uwland coming through (both could be top 10 picks) so they need pts for next year to match those bids

So trading out this years 13 for our F1 & F2 would give them close to 1500pts next year which would match a bid around pick 5 or 6 after the 20% discount ...would at least get them one of those players

Gold Coast want picks for next year .... as they can already cover a relatively high bid this year for Lombard

I guessing we are confident of hitting Free Agency next year and getting players we want so we don't care to much about next years draft especially if we can get 3 picks in the top 13 this year

If we do get 13 it would be stupid to couple it with 8 to jump up to 3 ..... it would mean we are giving up 8 + F1 + F2 for 3 .... we would want something extra back like WC pick 26

Or we just hit the draft with 7, 8 & 13

Or pick 8 & 13 (F1 & F2) for 3 & 26

So we go to the draft with 3, 7, 26, 27 ... but we give up F1 & F2

Or maybe I am on the wrong track

This seems about right now this would work for us as well as the teams in the swap

 

[austinnn]

wow! It’s a real who’s who of journalists on this panel

(Nightmare blunt rotation)

3 of those guys are pricks that openly hate St Kilda, don't know why Bartel got on when they could have had a royal flush with Caroline Wilson there instead.

Flush the lot of them

 

[austinnn]

If we do get Pick 3 do we threaten Adelaide to take Draper and try to move back to pick 4 with Adelaide giving us something else?

Their next pick is 46 (not very useful) .... but maybe we could trade pick 3 for their pick 4 + F2 .... how desperate are they for Draper?

Or do you just take Draper?

Love draper but 4 years of trade threads stressing about flight risk and SA bids is too high a price to pay

I'd suggest you don't check the list of players we've got out of contract next year

Like it.

Leaves us with picks 3, 7, 13, 27, 47 and 63 in a strong draft.

We could easily trade-in some futures with live trading on draft night.

Where did the idea for this trade come from?

St Kilda exploiting Wester Bulldogs’ salary crunch over Jack Macrae, cool interest in Ivan Soldo​

AFL: Leigh Montagna breaks down St Kilda's chase of Jack Macrae, and why a Blue could be a better option.
St Kilda will hope the Western Bulldogs’ desperation to get Jackson Macrae’s salary off their books will see them accepting a late future pick as the Saints cool their interest on ruckman Ivan Soldo.
Triple All Australian Macrae finished only 20th in the Western Bulldogs best-and-fairest after being handed the subs vest four times and is due a significant wage above $800,000 for the next two years of a contract with three seasons remaining.
The Bulldogs are bemused that it took over three weeks for the Saints to make any contact about Macrae after he declared his interest to move from Whitten Oval to Moorabbin.

But the Saints have a walkaway point in the potential trade, simply unwilling to impact a 2024 draft hand that is currently at picks seven, eight, 27 and 47.
They are hoping the Dogs will accept a future third or fourth-rounder for the 30-year-old who they pushed to high half forward for much of the year when he was in the senior side.
Given he is due over $2 million in salary obligations, the Saints are happy to absorb that salary but unwilling to give up a pick of any substance.
They will make their midfield a priority with picks seven and eight so are keen on Macrae as midfield depth but not at the expense of their draft hand

SOS going with a tried and true Genovan negotiating technique.
