Don't know why any player would even have the sense to want to nominate Carlolton. Let alone 3. But ok. The more picks they lose, the better.

, which was not a lot.

 

[citizen-erased]

Our turn?

i would take the salary cap dump for pick 19.
McPherson adds some depth too.
**** if all it took was an F3 to get it over the line too....

 

[ant555]

My view on Dunstan. If we want him take him in the rookie draft.

 

[ant555]

You can only take in as many picks as you plan to use. Collingwood won't take 6 picks to the draft.

Some of these mega deals make my head spin.

I think Collingwood are going to play funny bugger and will have best 25 players readily available in the drafts in pursuit of having that picks to spots available rule.

Not inconceivable that they had 6 picks

Collingwood probably get within the ballpark and then do a couple of draft day trades to get over the line.

 

[Tazdog]

They also need to trade in lipinski and Kreuger. That should use 2-3 picks you'd think.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

3rd round pick for Young.

45 to 55 is about range.

It's a weird thing trading for fringe players. You can be looking at a 150 to 200 game player for peanuts.

Much the same as cheap FAs or drafting state leaguers. There's a long tail of talent that's maybe good enough, and by dint of fine margins and varied perceptions, the varying needs of clubs and yearly minimum turnovers there's always plenty available and you can try your luck essentially for free, with list spots the only real constraint.

That doesn't make it any less of a crapshoot though, and the payoff is rarely massive. Certainty and headroom are what command a higher price.

I'd wager losing Lynch will cover one of those (most likely the Dogs) and Kreuger will get done for a future pick.

Best 25? I'd argue that's inconceivable.

Which makes the points surplus irrelevant then.

The taller you are, the longer you get on an AFL list by virtue of being maybe good enough.

I can't recall many fringe players that have gone to new clubs on the cheap in a trade and played 150+ games recently.

 

[Keystone agony]

My view on Dunstan. If we want him take him in the rookie draft.

Highly likely as a DFA in 2nd window

Whether he's then put on rookie or primary really doesn't matter

 

[JayJ20]

Trade period is incredibly boring without Dodoro. The media are probably missing him a lot right now.

Last year was the most entertaining trade period ever. Lots of twists and turns. Dodoro was the eye of the cyclone in about 10+ trades.

Future pick tracker is here; 2022 Future Pick Tracker

Collingwood don't have any after trading them all to Gold Coast for Daicos points.

 

[bomberman500]

Cerra, Young, Brander....they're gonna be busy.

We need to feign interest in all of these players just to weaken Carltons negotiating leverage

They have a future 1st and Future 4th (GC suns) ?

 

[eth-dog]

That Collingwood trade allows them to trade 41 for Lipinski and still have enough to cover a pick 1 bid of Daicos.

 

[TheGrizz]

Good business by Collingwood.

umm, can you not smell what they are cooking..??

 

[eth-dog]

Good business by Collingwood.

Very smart business. They can now focus on turning Lynch into Kreuger.

 

[Lore]

They have a future 1st and Future 4th (GC suns) ?

Yep. I was exaggerating but they’ve send their second third and fourth rounders to GC and got GC’s 4th and some 2021 picks in return, which will go on Daicos.

So effectively they have Daicos this year and whoever they get with that first round pick next year and the rest of the draft haul from these two years will be back markers.

 

[bomberman500]

THERE'S a touch of the 'Baby Bombers' about Essendon's current list, says former recruiting manager Matt Rendell.

Doing his list analysis of the Bombers for Continental Tyres AFL Trade Radio, Rendell was glowing in his praise, saying they reminded him of their famous 1993 premiership-winning counterparts.

Among Rendell's claims was that Sam Draper would be in the top three ruckmen in the game for the next decade.


"He's a beauty, competes like a mad man. I love him," he said.

Rendell also said Nik Cox, taken at No.8 in the 2020 NAB AFL Draft, would now be No.1 if the class was redrafted.

"It's the Baby Bombers, circa two. There's a lot to like about what they've done."
