Gettable.

Eagles preference was future picks rather than 14 from the Hawk. Want F1 and F2 for TB but Hawks want F3 back which Eagles aint prepared to do atm. Imo clearly didn’t want to hand pick 14 straight over for Baker.

Eagles want to get into the bidding for pick 13 but need to get the TB trade done first and needs to be down soon and Roos closing in on 13.

Hawks F1 + Our F2 would have to go close?

Not sure how the Baker deal happens. Would have to be pick 3 involved if it has nothing to do with the TB trade

This really feels all unnecessarily complex. Preference is future picks over 14? But then want to use those future picks for 13?

 

[06Premiers]

Talks for the alleged trade for Baker is potentially imminent, I think.

 

[squashface]

To be fair after the past week of snoozefest, a trade potentially happening is pretty huge news

Doesnt make sense for us to prefer future picks over 14 if we are just going to offer more than we get for TB for pick 13
We couldve had 14+ our own early 2nd round pick
Now it probably has to be 13+hawksf2 if we succeed in getting 13.

Telegraphing our intentions for a shot at Ch.Warner next year if this is true.


Also sounds like the club is trying to stockpile future 2nds for Gold Coast's pick 13 this year - not sure that would be competitive against what others will be offering for it.

 

[CountryLad]

Hawks sure as hell blew up trade week.

 

[kerrazy]

Getting nervous with the Baker deal. Undies slightly damp, could dry up a little bit but who knows.

 

[DanWCE]

Where's a bid on the Suns player likely to occur? Any chance we're putting 3 on the table for 13 + ????

Could be a third club involved.

3 to GC for 13 and Jedd Walter

What pick did Lockie Whitfield go?

Luke Hodge?

I see Travagalia as that exact type of player.

And he will only cost a pick around 7 to 10.

My perfect draft is we get Travalgalia AND a Lindsay or if we do land another top 10 pick a sliding mid like Langford or Smillie. Lindsay at 10/11 would be just as good.

This draft is very hard to judge. The best mid may well just get taken after pick 10.

You call this being different for the sake of it. Well just focusing on using our lowest pick on a mid is simplistic without understanding the depth of this draft. And disregarding what the modern game has become or what our list needs are.

Whitfield and Hodge are different players. In hindsight, you'd take Hodge at 1 nearly every time. But he was drafted as a ball winning mid. Whitfield was also drafted as a mid. In hindsight, you'd take him high. But without knowing what he'd become, he's an outsider. Don't spend top 10 picks on outsiders. if you do, you'll lose more than you win.

Pick 3 for 13 and Aaron Fiora.

I’d easily give up 3 for Walter. The man is an aggressive monster with skill.

 

[mitchzz]

How is Hawks new offer any different to their previous offer?

2x future firsts please

Travaglia draws comparisons to Will Day, who any team would be stoked to get with a first rounder

Thx Trade Whisperer

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I hope that the club doesn't get duped into giving up too much to secure Baker.
I believe that Freo are mainly adding him into the trade since Richmond aren't accepting 10 + 18 for Bolton, and it might get the deal over the line.
I would assume that maybe pick 51 would be coming back to the Dockers.

 

[ghostbat12]

He thinks and therefore he exists.

Now it probably has to be 13+hawksf2 if we succeed in getting 13.

Yeah, agreed.

There are weird things happening clearly. Cal even said it’s a quirk that Hawks are now trying to trade into 13 again.

Maybe we thought if we accepted 14 for TB straight up, Richmond would’ve wanted it straight on traded to them with nothing coming back? Thsi way at least we get a F2 and Baker instead of a straight Baker for TB. Richmond might prefer a Future first?

We weee hoping to get the Baker deal some way else and then trade picks after the player trade period closes? But sounds like the Suns pick will go before that

Who knows

We only need to win on points, not quality of offer. I personally don't want to get into a bidding war for that pick but if we got an F1 + 2x F2 from Hawthorn for Barrass, we could flip that to the Suns for 13 + 29. That doesn't really help us with Baker but it would give us 3, 13, 26 + 29 without touching our 2025 hand.

Eagles trading for Warner in 2025 is potentially imminent.

You mean in the phantom draft/power ranking where it says "plays like". Brah. SPP plays like Cripps......

 

[Forward Press]

I had trading for Warner in my top 5 so this is a good result.

 

[Cuzz09]

Not interested in Warner... yet
