Traded Luke Parker - traded with Jacob Konstanty to North Melbourne for pick 44

[Kane McGoodwin]

Luke Hodge & 44 were traded for 43 & 75... so would think pick 62 is fair for Parker.

Pick 62 will move into the mid 50's once all the Academy & Father Son picks are used up.

 

[Tedeski]

You guys asked for pick 25, that is just nonsense. If you prefer future picks, just say so. We'll be able to work something out, there is no need for the silly games.

Silly games are when a club takes an opportunity & approaches a player when because he is working his way back via the twos from injury & form & throws a carrot of 3 years at him.
You planted the seed & started the action then offer an offensive pick 62.
If we counter offered with a request for 25 then kudos to the Swans. We still have our player & you have ……….um……..Jack Darling who is 32 & done.

We planted the seed in fertile ground. You guys phased him out of the midfield this year, giving him minor roles before saying goodbye to him at your b & f. He wasn't a significant part of your plans this season, and would have been less so next.

I'm not sure how pick 62 is offensive? It is similar to what players in similar situations have gone for in the past.

The trade will likely get done for some exchange of current and future third and fourth rounders. It could have been resolved in half an hour, instead Sydney made a ridiculous ambit claim then departed without even any sort of sensible discussion on whether they preferred current or future picks. You guys are normally professional, this was childish.

I guess we'll see.

But he's not in your future plans. If he was he wouldn't be requesting a trade. Don't pretend we're somehow trying to poach a required player.

62 is only similar to players that are 2-3 years older that went to a club for 1-2 years not 3. The most recent example is Gunston who went for 48 and a F4 which is much closer to the value Parker has

Deal will probably get done for North's pick 40.

No he's getting a guaranteed 1.6m more by going to North and gets to play slightly more midfield time.

You’re not.
You want a player for 3 years.
It will find its level.

Yeah its level probably isn't a valuable pick after 290 games but sure

And it could well end up something like that. Would you guys use a late pick this year? I thought our F3 +/- something would be of more interest for points next year.

Yep swans are flogs

We would use Pick 44 or we would use a F3 but it has to be one of the 3rds its pretty simple

 

[perplexed]

One of those should be involved. But our trades are rarely as simple 1 pick for 1 player. There is always some other shuffling of late picks for the sake of it.

At a guess, something like F3, F4 > Parker, F3, F4 or 44 + F4 > Parker, 59 + F4. Anyway, it should be an easy and amicable one. Not sure why you guys chose to begin it as you have.

I don't think Sydney will give up 59 because they need safety to match Cochran. Therefore i think it will be either:
1. 44
2. F3
3. F3 + F4 for Parker F3 F4

PARKER DEAL HANGS IN THE BALANCE​

TALKS over Luke Parker remain at a standstill going into the trade period's final day, with North Melbourne yet to raise its offer for the Sydney veteran.

The Kangas' opening bid of pick No.62 for Parker was knocked back by the Swans in the opening days of the trade period, with the club demanding something far more significant for the contracted midfielder.

The two clubs have been yet to find a middle ground for Parker, with North Melbourne's attentions divided by the club's chase for Port Adelaide star Dan Houston and Western Bulldogs utility Caleb Daniel.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Should just pay up 44 to get it done.

How close to cooked is Parker

Sydney traded Hannebery to St Kilda (for peanuts) but the guy was so broken he hardly played another decent game

Would say anything other than a pinch hit in the midfield and the rest forward is the best that North can get out of him. Isn't like the midfielders of today but can still go in there to provide grunt and stop moment if a team goes on a run

 

[DocSholl]

Surely gets done now that Houston is off the table and we can trade other futures. F3 seems about right.

Parker will have a reasonable 2025 for North not remotely close to being cooked as Hanners was.

 

[Danog]

F3 is bang on. Sydney need points next year.

 

[dean33]

Just get him to north Sydney. For a club all about culture they really aren’t doing much to show it haggling over a pick for a 32 yr old who has bled for the club. Poor form by the swans here.

Oh **** off. Parker's contracted for another year, is in our best 23 players (as evidenced by the fact he played GF day), and has been offered a 3 year deal to move. Those south of the border have the VIC media telling them that interstate clubs should sell / "heartland" clubs should buy for cents on the dollar so often that it's seen as a god-given right. Adams was traded last year for pick 33, and the onus is on NM to get this done.

 

[Drunkcat]

Let him go Sydney bloody hell he give his all for your club.
