[Yeahnahmate]

Are there any examples where splitting a Top 3 draft pick actually works out favourable?

To me, it just seems like a short sighted gamble each time..

EG: Melbourne's Pick 2 (Josh Kelly) for Pick 9 (C.Salem + D.Tyson)

Rather take the best available Mid at 3 and have a higher percentage chance of A grade talent to pair with Harley.

Titch 21, Fyfe 20, Neale 58, Wines 7, Crippa 13.

I’m all for good picks but it’s a particularly even draft and if we can turn 3 into near on two top 10s I’m all for it this time around

As long as splitting has nothing to do with Baker... That's the issue I see.

I'd tell hawks give us the two future firsts and take our F2 (hopefully we open with F3).

Then give tigers the hawks F1 for Baker and 24. They dont like it, then move on.

3 24 26 67 this year and 2 F1 ain't a bad outlook.
If we can then split 3 for something juicy then sure.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Also, I know it's less than what Richmond are asking for but should we give up pick 26 for Baker (assuming we can't work out the Barrass trade) that would leave us with pick 3 and then pick 63 being our next selection. I can't imagine a world in which such an outcome would be acceptable to us in the middle of a rebuild. Ergo, if there is nothing else on the table we cannot offer even pick 26 to Richmond this year (as it currently stands).

Can we give them pick 26 so they can take this clown Clarke off our hands

 

[EagleJack42]

With the Hawks blowing up the Barrass deal but still acquiring Battle, why don't West Coast try a deal with Saint Kilda?

Option 1 (little lopsided):
WC Give: Barrass, Pick 23
WC Receive: Pick 7, 8

OR

Option 2:
WC Give: Pick 3, Barrass
WC Receive: Pick 7, 8, 27

 

[AnyDanger]

Is there any chance whatsoever that a pragmatic conversation is had between us, richmond and baker and he stays on a 1 year contract?? Comes to us as a free agent next year and tigers pick up #2 compo. Both teams come out much better than whatever they will get this year, its just baker who doesnt immediately get what he wants.

Highly unlikely given its not the norm for how things are done in the AFL but I'm sure we'll see arrangements like that in the future.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Can't believe we haven;

Although I agree in theory, it’d be hard to dispute there is some quality in there that weren’t top 3 selections no?

 

[Monsterdarlz]

Trade barrass for hawks F1 and carl f1 give back f2
Trade our f1 and 26 to Gold Coast for pick 6
Walk baker to the Psd everyone wins

Except Baker (which I’m fine with)

I don't disagree with you, I just think the Brownlow medal is a complete waste of time these days

Then we agree to agree fine Sir

Already did but it’s behind a paywall

We have been absolutely shithouse at finding midfield talent in the 2nd round, be nice to change things up this year (assuming we've got a pick to use)

 

[Godfather32]

Who's the fox and who's the duck?

 

[EagleMan87]

I thought I'd read it all but one Richmond supporter over on their trade thread suggested our Pick 3 for Baker + Pick 18.
Now ain't that something.

There's an extremely high level of delusion over there.
Somebody should stop the distribution of Kool-aid.

Worst bunch of supporters on BF, and that's saying a lot.

I can see that. I think because the league is a farce and we still have minimal selections and no PP to speak of + the evenness from 3 through 8 this year, that if we can get two in close to top 10 with a 3 split I’d pull the trigger on it

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Who's the fox and who's the duck?

Both reluctant - says more about Bender than either of us but I’ll still take the smooch haha

Seems like the smartest option if we can find someone who'd do it, hopefully we don't do that and then trade one of the picks for Baker

Whenever I mention my feeling we should split 3 this year, rest assured it has zero to do with Baker. He’s a nice to have for sure but definitely not cool with paying overs for him

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Hawthorn board overall is quite smug they’ve taught us a lesson for not accepting their first TB offer. In reality I think my boy Clarke has told them to gtfo town and to bring us back something better to play with - possibly under specific instructions as to what we would need to ship him there. Clubs in the window looking for a key back should he prepared to go a little overs imo if loading up for a tilt. Really hoping so

 

[MrAsh7777]

I'd be happy with Hawks F1 + Blues F1 for Barrass + F2. Let Freo pay overs for Baker and we all get to death ride Hawks and Blues next year.
