In this thread, ploz provide sauces for anything you claim as fact. It can be specific such as an article link or Neale's sisters cousins hairdresser or vague such as "own sauces" but ploz avoid blanket statements with no reference point, it makes people antsy.

Yep fair enough.
They may place a 'value' on him of say 20 BUT don't want it in the form of 25 and a future upgrade, which is what I'd be inclined to offer at best.

Something like 25 and a F3 for Clark and F4.

If they want something around 20 straight up, then they're being annoying and I'm sure we could shuffle picks in some way to gain that pick.

It could also be like trade we did for Lobb, where GWS wanted pick 18-20 for him but we rated lower.

We got them the pick 19 they wanted but received a bunch of picks back which rated him around mid second round after the picks we got back.

So we need to work all that out with Geelong. They may be stamping their feet and demanding a pick between 18-2and if we get them that pick they may be willing to give us some decent change.

2018 Lobb Trade: 11 and 19 to the Giants in exchange for Lobb and picks 14, 43 and 47

Sounds like 25 with a sweetener will get the deal done.

Seems like a very quiet trade period so far (even by trade period standards). Anyone get the impression clubs are holding onto picks given the apparent strength of the draft?

Fremantle forward Rory Lobb’s trade options to leave Fremantle have indirectly been narrowed significantly by a pick swap between Gold Coast and Collingwood on the second day of AFL trading.

The Suns, who are expected to only take three picks at this year’s draft, dropped picks 22, 46, 58 and 79 to the Magpies in exchange for future second, third and fourth round picks in a deal that will be a godsend to Collingwood who anticipate having to match a bid at the very top end of the draft for Nick Daicos.

Sources close to Lobb had hoped the Suns would be one club willing to entertain the high draft price likely to be asked by the Dockers for Lobb, who has two years of a lucrative contract to run.


But Gold Coast now has just picks 3 and 19 at the top end of this draft and is expected to use those picks, using the trade with Collingwood, to load up on draft picks for next year.

Industry sources believe a trade for Lobb is possible but not yet likely in a market compressed by list cuts and salary cap reductions because of the impact of COVID on the AFL industry.

Fremantle’s official position on Lobb has always been that the 28-year-old is a required player. He kicked 20 goals from 13 games in 2021 and at 206cm, gives them both tall target support for Matt Taberner and a degree of ruck support for Sean Darcy.

But it is strongly believed the Dockers would be prepared to entertain a trade should the offer be right.

Gold Coast’s pick 22, now traded to Collingwood, was thought to be in the right ball park. Lobb, on $700,000 for the next two years, would have to take a pay cut to leave but is said to be willing to do that for a contract that takes him beyond the 2023 season.

Fremantle still needs to find a draft pick that would convince Geelong to release Jordan Clark who wants to return to WA.

The Dockers had offered pick 27 for Clark and had been rebuffed. They had also looked at a 27 for 25 second round pick swap with Carlton as well as pick six as part of the Adam Cerra trade in the hope that would sway the Cats but Geelong is yet to agree to that.

Yeah that whole article reeks of Colin Young asking Duff to do him a solid. I'd hope 22 is not sufficient "overs" to justify letting Lobb go
 
Too bad you can’t trade players on draft night. They should have to be agreed by players and lodged beforehand, but if you end up with some more currency or draft target is gone, clubs should be able to deal around their picks. It would help more movements if you give clubs options.

Girlfriend is going to work in Melbourne. Wants Gold Coast to trade for him. Wtf. So he’s still the same distance away from Melbourne in Gold Coast then Perth is. He just wants to get paid and jet down in between away games.

Exactly. Three years as his buddy, one never forgets.

Could he be our Trent Croad?

Trading him out for pick #2 and then getting him back along with Brodie and pick #19 for a future second and future third would make Gold Coast an absolute laughing stock.

I'd more expect Weller to request to go home to Sydney, then in a few years request to go home to Victoria.

That raises a separate point.
we need to load up in the draft the next two years, before a Tasmanian team is introduced and compromises the draftfor a few years.
 
CATS NEVER TOLD FREO 'GIVE US PICK 8 FOR CLARK'

Geelong head of recruiting Stephen Wells says discussions with Fremantle over Jordan Clark are "going well".

Responding to criticism over the club's reported pitch for the Dockers' pick 8, Wells denied the Cats had asked for the top-10 selection.

"It's been reported about pick 8. I can confidently say that we've never just said, 'Give us pick 8 for Jordan Clark'. Were not like that, we are realistic", he told SEN.

"That's never been on the table, but we do expect that given hes contracted well try and organise a deal that is fair for everybody.

"In that sort of trade, there would have been an understanding that if pick 8 came our way, something else will go with Jordan. That's not going to happen now.

"Both clubs and Jordan need to be happy with the outcome. All I know is there has been good, constructive discussions between us and Fremantle.

"Once a good concrete proposal has been put forward the decision could be made straight away."

Wells said both all parties are on the same page when it comes to the potential trade.

"Out of respect for Jordan's position and his request, we are talking to Fremantle," Wells said.

"Andrew Mackie from here and David Walls from Fremantle have had plenty of conversations about all of this.

"There's still a lot to work through. Jordan understands that hes a contracted player and it would have to be a good deal for us to let him go.

"But that's all being worked through at the moment, quite realistically I reckon."
