Cooney, I swear, just throws player trades into chat GPT and posts the results

 

[stallon]

But why? So we have another ruck that is not at AFL standard to choose from? Briggs went past both Flynn and Preuss at GWS. I'd rather find our version of Jordan Sweet or draft a kid and bide our time than waste a spot on Preuss.

Preuss is AFL quality, hes way better than Flynn but just always injured. He did a hammy walking out onto the field at the start of a game earlier this year in the VFL.
Hes played 3 vfl games and 0 AFL games in the last 2 years due to injury.

The rules were changed last year to suit a ruckman like Preuss way more than they used to, as hes a 207cm 115kg beast of a man, he would be even better than when he last played.
He started to get a run on and was playing very well in 2022, but injury and Briggs coming on as a more athletic ruck kept him out.

A fit Preuss would cover our ruck position for a couple of years comfortably. He definitely wouldnt get pushed around by anybody, probably get a couple of suspensions in that time too for knocking out players

If we think we could get 16+ games out of him per year he'd be worth a punt imo

Genuinely - who is the target audience for Trade Radio? Like what is the point?

I realise the hilarity of me questioning whether anyone cares about garbage trade hypotheticals in a trade thread with 276 pages in one month.

I would give up Oscar for Warner in a heartbeat but other than that Oscar going nowhere.

Its just for fun, gets engagement

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Pretty icky meddling in this shit. Young kids hook up and break up all the time. She's already on her second or third club. If we legitimately went down that road and they broke up, we can't just trade her back to someone else. The uproar about using an AFLW player as a commodity to support the men's program would be unprecedented.

They'll work it out one way or another.

Pretty sure that we will have an open offer to her to come to the Eagles AFLW team, but will be her decision. Given what they are paid, they always end up where they want to go.

 

[ziad]

When does that ever happen though. Obviously it’d be nice as fans, but I find that extremely implausible

Libel laws are interesting, and bridge burning is out of fashion.

 

[Spooky17]

Garcia would walk into our best 22 and would cost a future 3rd. Genuinely disappointing if we haven’t tabled an offer.

Garcia > Baker > Graham.

You want a big audience - focus on idiots.

Scariest part of that is I was wondering yesterday just how outlandish it would be if we tried to use OA to unlock Warner.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Clancy Dennis won’t test at the combine and won’t be able to show his tank. If he gets through to the rookie draft then he should be hugely considered.

I'd be happy to see Clancy Dennis as a rookie

 

[PremiershipNo4]

If we aren't into Garcia we clearly have no idea how to rebuild this team.

Absolutely ****ing ridiculous.

Easily best 22 and wouldn't cost much at all. Yeesh.

WC are really holding their cards close to their chest, I would think they’ve looked at every player available across the country.
Obviously players potentially leaving Barrass, Rotham and Darling will have a big bearing on what draft picks we have available to trade for players.
I would have thought Garcia would be worth a 3rd draft pick and currently we don’t have one to trade.
Maybe if we get our hands on a 3rd round pick we could actually be in a position to offer a trade for Garcia, at the moment I don’t believe we’re in a position to, as trade week hasn’t actually started.

I'd give up Nic Nat and a first for Taranto and a second

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Maybe the recruiters just don’t rate him for whatever reason

Doubtful. They drafted Noah Long and Loch Rawlinson who are less adept midfielders.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Welcome Bo Allan.
Let the melts begin in here.

Actually I don’t know why he’s so unpopular in here. Is it because some see him as a threat to be taken instead of Tobie?

I think there is a lot of love for Tobie and he is generating the same man love as did the Hunter Clark in his draft year.

That said, I am not convinced Bo will make it as a true midfielder. If Ginbey can show that he will be a full time mid, I might relax more on taking Bo.

For me, I think Travaglia offers more on the outside and would be an ideal winger (assuming under Mini we abandon the gimp wing set up). I would really only want TT if we already got a true mid.

Similarly to Bo, my desire for FOS has diminished this year. He has been more effective as a HFF and HBF.

 

[Balls In]

Allen is an enigma. The kind of player who could easily embarrass us for years if we trade him. Or he could keep getting injured, never quite get going and be a massive trade boon for us. Would want a lot to consider trading him.

When was the last time a sitting captain was traded out of a team? Juddy?

Was Carey captain at the time?

Leigh Colbert was IIRC - obviously well before Judd.

Ryan Griffin at the Dogs, traded for Tom Boyd

Haha I just googled that trade.

Colbert traded from Geelong to North for Cam Mooney + draft picks (Geelong took Corey Enright).

North, what were you doing?

I'm pretty sure Colbert left coz he wanted to go to a "successful club" - which to be fair during the 90s the Roos were pretty good on field. Was pretty controversial at the time.
