Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Supermegaultrathread - Trade Period Edition

They had someone in mind last week - not sure if hes still in the frame

The tall bloke from Sydney ?

I think people are getting a bit carried away here. This isn't a horrific trade period, it's pretty neutral at worst. In Yeo, the advantage is they know what they're getting and are happy with it. Who knows if an equally desired player is available at 28.

 

[Spartan]

Caved like a bitch.

For all the fanbois claiming that 28 for Yeo is a win cause he is worth more than 28 - you're missing the point. Yeo IS worth more than 28 (in my opinion) but we could have got him for 31. Would Brisbane really let him walk into the psd? No.

Also not a fan of the fact that we lost 6, IMO the risk of not getting the player we want is greater than the benefit of getting a potential slider.

Time will tell.

We don't know that.

Surely they have done this so the Lions and Pies do not take who they want at 11 but also allow us to get a big bodied mid that should be available around the pick 31 mark.

I do hope we have a last minute trade to trade out a player and package it with a pick to get us a better 2nd rounder.

General Manager Football Operations Craig Vozzo said it was pleasing to complete the trade ahead of tomorrow’s deadline.

“Recruiting Elliot through this trade period was our major focus,” Vozzo said. “Brisbane was keen on a second round draft pick, so we have swapped pick 28 to get that done.

“By bringing another party (Collingwood) into the negotiations early in the week we were able to retain a prominent position in the first three rounds of the draft and still bring a quality young player, who we believe has much to offer, onto our list.

“With Hawthorn premiership player Xavier Ellis joining our club as a free agent we are delighted with the way things have transpired over the last three weeks.”

Reading in to this, we may be using 3 picks. So, what would we have preferred:
6, 44 and 62

OR

11, 31 and 49

The downgrade looks much better then....

5 picks down in the first, for:
- 13 picks up from early 3rd round to middle 2nd round
- 13 picks up from early 4th round to middle 3rd round

Whinge whinge ****in whinge. Are all of your periods syncing up again?

 

[greennick]

The sad thing - is that I actually don't think so. I know the 3-4 guys involved in these decisions and whilst I understand the trade with Collingwood, I cannot for the life of me understand why WC used #28 when #31 was available. Compare that to Docherty (same age as Yeo and basically same no of games - pick 11 traded for pick 33. Yeo is one of the few players who actually gets an upgrade on his draft position. Jed Lamb should get traded for a pick in the 40-50's and this kid (like Yeo) can play.

Scratched my head when Staker and Dalziel were swapped - and this one is equally bewildering.

GWS have first pick in the PSD and we have pick 6. Pretty big difference in leverage.

 

[Noctorniquet]

A lot of overreactions on here, if you step back and look at it holistically and not based on what we could have done we have done ok

We have yeo who is ~ worth 28, maybe just higher based on what he has done so far
We still have a second round pick to use at the draft, 3 spots unlikely to drastically alter our draft approach
And we have pick 11, essentially 10 thanks to north and surely an agreement that player x or y wont be taken by collingwood before us

I think its a solid, not great, but done enough to improve the list

Everitt just nominated us as to where he wants to go, twitter source rumour.

This could be possible. If it is, it's horrible to think we downgraded 44 to 49 if we were going to use it. Or weren't able to get 45 off the Lions instead of it going to Port.

Putting on my positive hat:

11: Sheed/Acres
31: Cripps/some other mid who is good
49: Garlett

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I'd be very happy to have Everitt on our list.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

we simply ****ed up and allowed Brisbane and Collingwood to walk over us. that's my issue here we could've taken yeo in the psd if we really wanted to.

but its all done and dusted now. yeo looks pretty awesome. only one position to go. midfield. could be the new embley.

 

[Spartan]

We don't know that.

I very much doubt they would.

Don't get me wrong, our trade period (so far) hasn't spelt the end of the world. However just the little things we've done (or not done) are a touch annoying.

Getting 11 instead of 10.
Giving 28 instead of 31.
Not offering 11 for Bootsma.
Etc

 

[Chris_6678]

As long as we keep pick 31 i am happy for Everett to be on our list. Would Sydney let him go for pick 49 though....

 

[Masto]

I wonder what role Simpson sees for Everitt in our side. We seem to have gone for him pretty hard.

 

[Moorey]

We've got the lad we were after so I'm happy. Let's just hope we get what we're after in the draft

This highlights clip just makes me so excited.

yep, people having a sook should watch this to make them feel better. what 3 pick downgrade in the second round?

 

[Lion El'Johnson]

Not a fan of Everitt. I'd pass.

Happy with our trade period.

 

[twce13]

We don't know that.

Docherty sets a pretty good precedent.

Also I'm not buying into this "they'll leave our player alone in the draft cause we played nice" theory.

I'll never understand why we gave 28. The funniest thing is rob Kerr two weeks ago publically identified freo as our biggest threat to the trade with their second rounder. At this point robb Kerr made the trade a numbers game. If we could get a pick below freos 2nd rounder that should have been enough.

When we did the trade with collingwood, we had achieved this. I am bewildered that we gave up 28, it's a act of weakness and border lines charity.

Brisbane made it a numbers game and we failed to reciprocate. Pathetic IMO.

Anyway this aside, am thrilled to get yeo.

Bond007 seeing as we got collingwoods 3rd round pick can you confirm if we intend to use it. Makes no sense that we would make it apart of the deal and not use it. Though based on this week maybe logic is out the window.

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Provided we get Sheed, then there is nothing but positives from this trade window. I rate Yeo very highly, he has the potential to be one of the better trades in club history purely because of his age and his potential.

The difference between pick 28 and 31 is completely negligible, and I'm not buying it from anyone who says otherwise.

I understand that people want us to be pricks at the trade table, but the truth of the matter is that we will probably still get exactly what we want. And that's all that matters. Some of you really need to wind it in.

 

[ROO DOGG]

We

Whinge whinge ****in whinge. Are all of your periods syncing up again?

just got a bloody good player hey, just saw his highlights, its taken a while but I can see the sense in the trade and come draft day I think we all will be pretty happy.
