Rumour GFC 2024 Player Trading, Drafting FA, Rumours and Wish lists Pt 3

Here's 2024 Provisional AFL Draft Order

Cheers to Lore for their hard work in setting this up, and making it available for all users on BF to use and keep track of the picks ahead of the upcoming draft - and please practice patience grasshoppers if it's not updated in the immediate aftermath of completed trade





I'll also sticky this post to ensure it's easily accessible for discussion of our hypothetical trader


Also,

2024 Free Agency Period​

The AFL introduced free agency at the end of the 2012 season, giving players another vehicle where they can transfer from one club to another. Free agency is a common form of player movement in major football and sporting codes around the world.

Free Agency Opens: Friday October 4 at 9.00am
Free Agency Closes: Friday October 11 at 5.00pm

Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period​

Trade Period Opens: Monday October 7 at 9.00am
Trade Period Closes: Wednesday October 16 at 7.30pm

Is it just me or has Sam Power become the new Adrian Dodoro?

I reckon the AFL will send WB a "Please Explain" demanding to know why Power has brought Trade Week into disrepute by doing nothing

 

[Munich]

What time does this Kayo show start?

 

[ShadowCat]

Help please, I just need to know if I'm reading the following correctly

Fremantle just paid 4 x first round picks for Shai Bolton & pick 14...





Edit addition - if trading 4 first round picks, surely they could have sent that Sydney for Chad Warner who is surely a better player


And this kinda seems like Fremantle's moment of - "Hey WCE, you think you're the only one who can complete crazy stupid trades... Watch this"

How do you get 4 first round picks?

They traded 10, 11 and 18 for Bolton, 14 and a Future 3rd.

The rough basis I worked out what the trade is, is 10 and 11, with 18 being upgraded to 14 + a Future 3rd. Average it out and Tigers end up with around picks 10 and 13. It's honestly not that bad. The 2024/2025 drafts respectively is just stating the Future 3rd being included. 10 and 13 is about right for a contracted Bolton, IMO.

Fremantle still have their Future 1st, and only had three 1sts which one came back along with a Future 3rd. Ended up similar to the Cameron trade where the two seconds cancelled out the late 1st, and we sent 13 and 15.

Freo GM said as much:

He can hold off on deals as long as he wants.

In this draft even messing the picks up they'll still land players

Eh, we said that in 2018.

Clubs still ended up with Luke Valente, Chayce Jones, Ned McHenry, Jackson Hately, Liam Stocker, Sam Sturt, & Riley Collier-Dawkins with first round picks.

You could argue guys like Luko, Duursma, & Caldwell while still AFL quality players (Caldwell especially, who had a really solid year) haven't lived up to the billing either.

Even with that hand, if the Tiges can get three 15 year quality players out of this draft then they've done extraordinary well.

I'd say the same if it was us with that hand too, to be totally honest.

The whole thing is a lottery, no matter how much work you've done.

What time does this Kayo show start?

If it's the same program as on Fox, it starts at 7pm

Can someone explain the logic on why the Dogs wait till the last few minutes to relent? Waiting to the last minute to only relent does really make them look strong…more like petulant ...

They are leaving a lot of trades until the 11th hour. Just look ridiculous now.

Because the AFL/TV rights have probably requested it

Yeah that's a few, there's hope

The only team that has been ripped off is WCE..

They're waiting for something to fall in the cats lap, and conversely because of that we (knowing any offer we put in gets rejected before deadline) likely haven't bothered to put in an offer we think would get accepted yet.

 

[cats_09]

On some deals yes

But surely last minute signs for Parker, Daniel & Macrae isn't exactly must watch viewing unless you're a supporter of North or St Kilda

 

[CatToTheFuture]

They certainly are putting a lot of pressure on themselves

 

[cats_09]

A few deals being held up by other deals right now...

. North will give up 25 but want something back.

If the Dogs can swindle 25, it would go some way to unlocking Matt Kennedy and/or Xavier O'Halloran.

What the Dogs get for Macrae (Pick 32 maybe?) will need to satisfy Carlton for Kennedy.

No movement on Barrass to Hawks or Smith to Geelong (yet).

 

[Turbocat]

Because you're trying to rip them off....

If Dermie says …. P17 is about right … then one might be able to make an argument that 17 is overs …. That guy has voodoo dolls with Geelong jumpers on them ...

 

[Tony Barber]

Because you're trying to rip them off....

It depends which way you look at it.
We've really heard zero about ongoing discussions.

Maybe the dogs want the trade hidden so that other clubs cant demand more from them in other trades.

 

[Turbocat]

They're waiting for something to fall in the cats lap, and conversely because of that we (knowing any offer we put in gets rejected before deadline) likely haven't bothered to put in an offer we think would get accepted yet.

I could understand that if we had players like Kneviit or Chlosey being linked to other clubs …sort of like Kemp…. but ist been like a library …. The Dogs could have tried to get us to up our offer by offering steak knives ..but. we have heard nothing..

 

[Turbocat]

String deal not happening for GWS …. decided they dont need another loose cannon after dress ups..

A club finally makes a smart choice

 

[allrighty]

Because you're trying to rip them off....

How can you be ripping them off when 1) the player does not want to stay and 2) he is out of contract in two weeks?

 

[Kobe Gryant]

I'm so bored that I ordered Subway.

I haven't had Subway in 5 years.

 

[Turbocat]

Without our pick at 17 … what number and club takes Smith in the draft ? … Its a good draft … he might still be available in the 20’s...
