News AFL trade, free agency and draft. "who goes where?" - No freakin' hypotheticals

[flinchfree]

Just like shelling peas guys.....

For our next trick - watch us quite literally carry around a pirates chest full of gold doubloons that we open at Fremantle and Richmond games next year.
Nat, Dusty, we'll even let you touch them.

Sounds like our alternative strategy was ND for JOM if things didn't work out.

However, the Blues deal fell nicely and removed the risk.

Paid a fair price but good job to the team given the difficult circumstances.

• If a Nominating Club does not have enough points to secure a F/S or Academy selection in a given Draft, the points required will carry over to the Club’s first selection the following year.
In this case, points will be deducted prior to the trade period to ensure the Nominating Club pays it points debt, rather than trades picks away.

SO..if jarman is nominated before 88, then: SUCK IT SAINTS OUR 1ST PICK NEXT YEAR JUST GOT A WHOLE LET LESS VALUABLE

That's not our first pick anymore.

Sam seems a little let down.

 

[Hodginator]

Hmmm. I do I get 8 hours of work done now in the next 2 and half hours?

 

[Big Hotdog]

Im taking a week off of bigfooty.

 

[HawksILove]

Also I can say thank you to Carlton

 

[palmomagpie]

Reckon we'd use pick 126 and 144?

 

[HawksILove]

What picks have we got left?

 

[MC_9]

Deledio for GWS 2017 1st + 2016 3rd.

Jordan Lewis for 48.



Anyway happy we landed O'Meara.

 

[LuckyHawk]

They also seem to beat us every year.

Which makes our premierships even sweeter and harder to take for tiger fans.

The only thing I don't completely understand is the St. Kilda trade. Reckon 23 and next years first was enough to land Pick 10 without trading Pick 36.

But we have two young guns and our midfield nucleus for the next 10 years, we've given our legends golden handshakes, given the youngsters a chance to press for Senior selection and can still pick up Jarman apparently (at the expense of St. Kilda?). Not bad overall even though I was nervous.

 

[Davo-27]

What picks have we got left?

i believe 88, 90 and 108... but they will prob end up being pick 70-80 after all the Father-Son, Zone picks ect

 

[hawkheart]

Thrilled to hang on to all our players. It was tough imagining Poppy, Shoe, Sic, Billy, TOB etc. somewhere else. Yes, Mitch and Lewie are gone, but they both can catch up with the rest of the boys at the 2018, 2023, 2024 and 2025 ten year flag reunions.

 

[TallyHawk]

Jake Barrett as a delisted free agent?

 

[elvangaz]

Sam seems a little let down.

I don't dislike many people, however this Landsberger clown really does my head in. Absolute campaigner of the highest regard

We have 88,90,108, 126 and 144

Probably going to get hounded for this, but I just wanted to post here and say that I think the final trade was a fair result.

At the very worst case scenario if the 2 x future 2nd Rd pick teams play in the GF next year, when added to pick 10, the Suns just got the equivalent of pick 3 for Jaeger. Every spot those future Rd2 picks drop, the better the deal.

So at the very least, pick 3 for Jaeger is a fantastic deal for the Suns, but the Hawks have got one hell of a future superstar provided his injuries are behind him.

It was a long and drawn out trade period with a lot of melts and breakdowns, but the deal got done, and it's better than the 'final offer' of pick 10 and a third rounder.

Jaeger for pick 3 = great outcome for both clubs.

Best of luck in 2017.

 

[MJA33]

Our 20-25 fringe players need to have the biggest pre season of their lives and must improve and stand up as we have no draft picks - only way we will stay competitive !

 

[palmomagpie]

Just need some clarification, did we trade our second round next year? or did we keep that?

 

[HawksILove]

i believe 88, 90 and 108... but they will prob end up being pick 70-80 after all the Father-Son, Zone picks ect

Thanks, is there any chance we will pick up Barrett

I think we got the sense Cochrane was pulling the reigns in the early discussions and we knew he was a nutbag with little idea about footy. So after he laughed at a solid deal of 2017 1st, 23 and 34 we knew had to get back into this year early as a back up, this gave us leverage in the negotiations and as well as reassured Jom that if he held his nerve he would get to us regardless of what GC did.

The Saints would have known our plan and made sure they got plenty for pick 10.

In the end with all the possible Fs, academy and compo picks next year that 1st could slip out to 20 or more.

Jake Barrett as a delisted free agent?

Phwoar if that happens, the wife is in for a big night.

In retrospect maybe, but having 10 in our pocket gave us bargaining power in that we could have made a play for him in the draft. GC probably wouldn't have folded if we didn't have that chip.
