[dispute]

Send Rotham to the Suns?

 

[Cornelius Roy]

So are there any Chad Warner types ( pick39) underrated West Aussies in this years drsft

Urquardt potentially

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Free agency compo's complicated!

Pretty sure the system for comp picks goes like

 

[Obeanie1]

We accepted Norf’s first offer. We don’t need to be pricks but countering with a modest 61 would have at least given us consecutive picks. We should have also asked the question of a swap of their F3 (which are apparently worthless) for our F4 to match an expected late 2R bid on Banfield or Walley. Poor debut.

They took his entire salary of $800k that is why we didn't get slightly better picks.

 

[VicBased]

Sounds a bit trumpish.

How so?

 

[noobermensch]

In last year's Futures game, Xavier Lindsay showed us a glimpse of what he might be capable of as a rebounding defender. Tough in contested situations and elite with his disposal off half back, taking on creative and difficult options and executing with ease. One of the best performed players on the day.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Why is everyone obsessed with a rebounding defender? Isnt that Ginbey/Duggan role for a fair while yet?

Can not stress this enough

We.Need.A.Winger.

Are wingers even a thing anymore?

 

[wceratta]

Our top 2 picks and Gold Coasts top 2 picks are exactly the same in terms of points

Picks 3 and 26 for 6 and 13

Than I think we go 14 from hawks for baker and 32
And Gold Coast can be silly and trade pick 3 for Rioli and hopefully something else back

Be nice to go to the draft with 6,13,32 and the late picks plus having baker

 

[kerrazy]

The melts on the tuggers board over Graham

 

[3agles87]

Hope we haven’t banned The Gun from this thread yet. Looking forward to hearing his take on pick 42 for Graham.

Because Duggan couldn't hit the side of a barn with a watermelon.

Lindsay and Travaglia would also both make fine wingmen.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

The melts on the tuggers board over Graham

Do tell.

 

[Peptide Pig]

Send Rotham to the Suns?

Any deal we can do with the Suns would be good. Would love to get on that gravy train of them giving away dumb picks

You would also think Pick 3 would get Rioli done for the Suns.

We.Need.A.Winger.

We need players who can kick the ball and hit a target out of defensive 50 like hurn and Jetta.

Cole, Duggan and witherden are world class butchers.

One of Lindsay and trevaglia is essential.

We don’t know that for sure but you’d have to assume so. Still don’t think shaking hands on 61 for consecutive picks is unreasonable.

 

[Obeanie1]

"Pick 6 is a good starting point for Dan Rioli"

What alternative universe is this?

The universe where they offer pick 6 and then Richmond offer Rioli and a later pick or picks to go with him for points.

Those blokes are average kicks at best.
The rebounder needs to be a great kick and be creative.
I'd rather move duggan to the wing and get an actual rebounding defender.
Arguably the most important role in a team, you don't just plonk whoever in that role and expect results.

Brisbane were dogshit once Coleman got injured this year, they didn't start to play well until they found a replacement in Zorko and he had settled into that role.
Gold Coast are paying up pick 6 for a rebounding defender who isn't even that good.

It's 100% an urgent need

 

[Wooshaaaa]

You would also think Pick 3 would get Rioli done for the Suns.

Pick 3 should be enough for rioli and baker. Using our pick 2 split as an example, into 9 14. 9 unders for rioli, 14 overs for baker. It gives tigers pick 3 for there duo dream.


Three way deal

Suns get rioli 26
Suns give 6 13

Tigers give rioli baker
Tigers get pick 3

Eagles give 3 26
Eagle get 6 13 baker

Just more evidence that the FA compensation system is irrecoverably broken

Band 3 was a stretch, band 2 is silly

Turns out Cal Twomey was wrong

Band 4 seems about right, although somehow unders when compared to what was gifted out on Friday.

Does indicate that the contract value over 4 years was modest

 

[woosha24]

Do tell.

Seems like they're sooking about not getting a compo pick in the mid-20s. For a bloke they dont rate and reckon wouldnt be in their side if they were in contention.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Bomber wanting to split pick 9 to avoid paying it for kako. Saints coming for it to give them 7 8 9.

Travaglia and Lindsay can play both positions bloody well. Both also have far better disposal and footy IQ than Ginbey and Duggan. We missed our pure wing chance with Freijah last year
