AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
It all comes down to how much they want Noble. I like Sydney's offer more as well. But right now GC are sitting down with Collingwood because they want players more than picks. They mostly want points for Lombard and the two players Rioli and Noble.
Maybe an F3 or similar. 13, Richards, F3 for Houston would be heaps. I know Houston is contracted but Port's current valuation is really just an ambit claim. In the end, they know he wants to go home, if they knock back fair offers and hold him in SA on significantly less than he could get at home they are going to have a very disgruntled player on their hands.
That would be a good deal for you, and not impossible. I don't think Noble would be such a high priority for GC. They may even completely lose interest if the Rioli deal goes through early. With Rioli, Noble looks like a fringe 22 player on their list. But he clearly wants to go there and they pay extra for players they are confident they can keep.
The narrative is that Houston prefers Carlton but is willing to consider several other clubs if they can offer Port a good deal.
Even if they get Rioli I don't see them losing interest. I doubt they do the Rioli trade first anyway. When a player requests a trade it usually means the club will do its best to see it through.
That's awful for the Suns. That deal pretty much values the difference been Lukosius and Noble as Pick 39 (even worse if Pies finish top 6 next season). The gap is far bigger imo
He's on a rotten contract that they want to remove. He's not worth a first round pick if that's what you're getting at
Luko has more talent but Noble is a more consistent player. I think even Suns fans can admit that. Hes not worth much more than that trade wise
I really don't rate Lukosious at all. He might have a Jack Watts type career at Port who ironically is who he reminds me of at times.
It's more position for me. Key position players are just valued far higher. I see Noble as a pick 35-45 and Lukosuus as a first
I agree on this - I think he is one of the more overrated players in the comp. But trade value is always inflated for KPFs and KPDs
He's not even remotely close to a KPF or a KPD and would never be able to hold down either spot. Simply a tall flanker.
I stopped reading at Jon Ralph.
He can play as a third tall forward and has the versatility to go back. That alone is valuable.
He's a taller Will Hoskin-Elliott, who went for a second round pick. Star key forwards and defenders command big trades. Ordinary ones don't. Peter Wright was up there on a lofty contract and was traded for next to nothing.
You would pay a first rounder for a third tall? Luko has not played anywhere near consistent footy to warrant that price. Noble has. A defender who defends well, who's a good kick, drives off field standards and on field success, and runs and carries? That is worth more than unrealised talent and that's exactly why Dimma wants him.
I think Noble is worth about 35 but he is contracted and GC don't need picks in the range of 10-30 so we get pick 22 for Noble. (25-27 on draft night)
13 and Richards is light on for Houston. Would need probably a 2nd rounder thrown in.
I wouldn't pay that for him - I'm not a fan at all. I'm just predicting what GC will value him at
Reasonable, but seems light on for GC. They get rid of 13 and Lukosius for what will likely be a 1st round downgrade, Noble and 39.
Yeah that’s terrible for us. We have Carlton’s F1 + F2 for 13 on the table, plus are looking at Port’s F1 for Lukosious.
Not sure that’s the case. I can’t see what Carlton would add to 13 to make it worth ports while trading him there.
Pies want picks back in the deal. Not sure if Carlton want the same.
