Confirmed Pick swap: Carlton trade F1 & F2 (both tied to Carl) to Hawthorn for #14

[Foxx]

I would have thought Hawthorn would want to add another young top draft pick to this young group asap. Get them all building together.

 

[Orange Agent]

We are targetting the draft and pick 14 in this years draft is like pick 8 in next years draft.

Nobody could definitively rate the 2025 draft class at this point. Look at the players being talked for this year, 12 months ago. It completely changes in their final year.

So the point of the trade is to use at the draft and not to get Houston?

I think it gives us flexibility to explore both.

Top 20 is known from under 16s

This trade reflects a real vic bias to form an alliance against interstate teams.

So what we now have is west coast will get a future first and second (later in the draft going by hawthorn's second half of the year) for a premiership key back. In the top 5 in the league. Which is unders

We have Richmond getting pick 6 plus maybe 13 from the sun's. Overs
Collingwood getting a first for noble. Overs
Houston pick 13 or 1r and early second to either Carlton or Collingwood which is unders

Bolton 2 firsts from freo is overs
Baker a first is overs too

But the afl turn a blind eye

It will be funny if tigers have a 4 year period of form like North have and their 3 top 10 picks leave after 3 years.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Good trade for both sides.

 

[Chism]

Can’t complain with the trade and even if we dont land a Houston or Barass with one of em taking those 2 selections to the draft along with Campo twins i am happy.

 

[hawkinoz]

So you mean to say Eagles rejected pick 8+ 40's pick for Barasss. hear that stallon

By trading out 14, they probably still want Barrass or some other player we dont know theyre big on.
If they gave up theyd just keep 14 in this strong draft youd think

But 4 of those players are under contract, they can let them go for whatever they want. If West Coast or Port let their players go for unders thats on them. Certainly in Ports case where they are in a premiership window, letting Houston go at all to a team that is also challenging is madness unless you are getting 2 or 3 times what hes worth.

Well the vic clubs seem to be wanting way overs, whilst west Coast are said to be holding the trade up of barass. Now the 2 vic clubs have combined to make rhe trade even weaker

So what if the Eagles drove this for a smash and grab for a player next year?

 

[FB19]

It’s a good trade for both. Carlton you would think would love Trainor or Tauru and maybe Hotton as the mid fwd to complement their inside mids. Hawks will get Barrass for similar deal but now have an extra f2, eagles obviously get about what they wanted. Nice to see a collaborative trade without any animosity for a change. Or do we need him back…
