• Archer Reid (2027), Loch Rawlinson (2025), and Coen Livingstone (2025) sign extensions

 

[Barrybran]

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

I expect Gold Coast to sell 13 to the highest bidder. That seems to be the pick at the centre of the Houston trade.

 

[archiemoses]

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

Why is 6 afraid of 7?

 

[VicBased]

Concepts of a plan, but not actually saying what it is

Ahhh, gotcha! Yes, good analogy.

 

[braddalzielleoursaviour]

Honestly think i’d rather Lindsay over a Langford. Does everything right, classy and is suprisingly tough and a good tackler for an outside player. Hoping we can maintain a pick in his range if we trade out 14.

 

[WCE_Phill]

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

Thats actually not bad

Swap 14 and Hawks F1 for Saints 7

Go to draft with 6, 7 and 13

 

[archiemoses]

So we either had no interest in bumping up Graham's salary (effectively pick purchasing) to give Richmond a better pick which we could use in the Baker deal OR we lack this creativity.

Not always as black and white as you imply. You over pay a player, it can create waves in the playing group in the long run.

Tigers getting band 4 is only good news.

Whilst good in theory this kind of stuff rarely happens.

 

[MIKE85]

Are we any chance of getting Baker and Bolton?? I’d love to pinch him from the Purples…..

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

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.

Haha it seems they were all like Baker's good but haha you can have Graham suckers. What changed!?

Although I'm sure they have the same Team Yellow/Dry Beds split we have. Their Team Yellow now has the same 1-nil lead ours does, and for the same reason, feeling bent over by AFL compo shenanigans.

Their team Dry Beds have a better chance of taking the win than ours though, with Baker and Rioli trades looking good for them.

Aaaand then the thread would've been full of whingers saying we paid him too much etc.

We'd need snorkels for all the piss

 

[boondy]

Tigers have 8 point scoring picks . Now they can offer Rioli and a bunch of picks for pick 6

 

[Mattman93]

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

I know I'm coming off belligerent when it comes to him, and I dont mean to since we clearly agree on the prospects much more than we disagree, but in what world is Travaglia's disposal so great, or better than (eg) Duggan's? I like him as a high urgency, metres gained player but he's hardly a surgeon by hand or foot. Lindsay yes.

 

[mat11]

Hopefully Graham comes over and can have an impact similar to JaydenHunt. In saying that, I think we should temper expectations. Richmond chose not to offer him a better deal at a time they are screaming out for experience and salary cap space. Hopefully Graham is our defensive mid and it unlocks Harley and tk a bit more.

What a shit show from the vAFL to offer fair compensation (band 4) for Graham and Band 1 for mckay/battle/perryman etc. Just goes to show equalisation threshold is a premiership.

Just curious, obviously Lindsay very good with ball in hand, but what's his running ability like? Had he been able to compete at the combine where would he sit?

[greatwhiteshark]

WCE are so into Warner for next year. It's why we will fight tooth and nail to get Hawks first round for next year.

Money not an issue for Graham. I'd say his contract will be heavily front loaded with Darlings and Barrass money coming out of the cap of which WC would have budgeted for. Next year a lot of front ending contracts will occur so WC can pay Harley and Chad.

There is s few pundits on trade radio saying its not impossible this still happens this year. Fremantle working overtime on Warner.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

I think Botlon is worth more than Rioli

Sent from my SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

By the length of the flemington straight. Rioli is an average player.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

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.

Midfielders, midfielders, midfielders. We don't need any rebounding defenders. Get the ones we got to earn their money.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Would love him but it means we got no chance with Warner. We need the prurples to spend big on Bolton so we can make a play for Warner.

 

[Footfalcon]

what's this nonsense talk about splitting 3 and giving them 23 in addition. Get ****ed take 23 and **** off. His stats compared to perryman last year who compd at 19 were significantly below. Hard ball it, not a huge loss without him

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Another potential new Jack’s 2024 highlights

 

[KERRPOW]

Tigers get pick 42 as compensation for graham.

Everyone (including media) jumping to conclusions as usual lol

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Band 4 compo for Graham.
Eagles can't even game the system.

 

[KERRPOW]

The melts on the tuggers board over Graham

Anyone available to blind quote the best melts from tigga land
