Mega Thread Possible trades in 2015 for the Crows

[Pugsley]

So we gave up pick 50 in order to help get pick 55 from last year.

They're looking for another Stokes.

 

[CROWS84]

How good a pick do you think Ryan Burton would be Skippos as far as fit for our team and what pick would we need to hand over?

 

[Tantidar]

We have 4 of the first 32 picks, plus gore and 2 rookie upgrades. I highly doubt we are going to use a pick that late in the draft, so I couldn't care less that we gave pick 50 to them

 

[Legz]

I'm not entirely happy with the deal, but one thing I do like is our picks.

Doesn't Sound to bad to me, I'm also pretty certain Lyons and Kerridge are going to be traded, also maybe wright

9, 13, 28, 32

At this stage, we've only got 2 list spots free. So 9 & 13 not bad to take in the draft.

Use 28, 32 and players to complete any more trades to come.

 

[aneale]

At the end of the day pick 14 wasnt enough. To get 9, 28 and a player that improves the list somewhat is better than 14 alone. That was the goal.

WHY ARE WE GIVING UP PICK 50 AS WELL?

With 2x rookie upgrades we won't need it

 

[Mike Smyth]

I would hate to have to negotiate with the AFC, they're ruthless.

 

[spexau]

I'd say we're going to package Kerridge and Lyons with Pick 9 / 13 to upgrade in the draft.

 

[FantasticShirt]

Would've preferred more but actually was worried we'd accept less.

Not happy about it but time to move on to the rest of the trade period. See ya later Danger you massive campaigner.

We must keep 9 & 13 for the draft - we need to take the long-view

all depends on what we make of the picks now, draft for the first 2 and trade the rest perhaps (with maybe lyons and kerridge involved)

 

[Hodgy]

His source appears to be from Carlton. Other than Bryce Gibbs, I'm not sure who they have that would be considered a Big fish. And I can't see Gibbs happening at all.

This has been my secret hope for the last fortnight. Gibbs is still a serious talent who brings exactly what we need, brilliant disposal and calmness under pressure off half back. He is obviously jaded at Carlton and they really need to rebuild from scratch so I'll be keeping an eye on this.

We'd actually need to cut 3 players and bring no one else in to be able to use 50.
It's useless to us.

 

[Magma]

woo, its over

 

[Dewy006]

Whilst it's prob only putting sauce on a shit sandwich, it is what it is, we had little bargaining leverage and anyone who thought otherwise was looking through red, yellow and blue glasses. The task now is to bring in more pieces. I'm of the belief we have enough top end talent even without Danger. It's our guys in the 15-25 range that need improving and in the end we may come out with a more balanced list. With a new coach, Capt Tex there's a lot to look forward to

Draft with 9 and 13, trade in good players with our second rounders + fringe players

But that is always the rub on any deal or any draft. That is outside of the Dangerfield issue.

any chance of going after Redden, Aish or Mayes?

 

[Untouchables22]

I think it could have been worse, but I can't help but feel short changed.

Geelong have come out and made commitments to all sorts of players which require reasonable draft picks. As soon as Henderson was going to Geelong we were never getting 2 first rounders (even though we definitely should have been entitled to two).

WE NEED TO PUT OURSELVES FIRST. AFC should have asked Geelong to come up with a late first or early second (17-20) or made them turn 28 into a player we wanted (Anderson). I remain hopeful that we accepted this trade because there is something further in the fire for that pick.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Ahh f*ck it. I knew I would hate this trade and I knew I would get shitty about it. OK... time to remember we need to assess once all the trades are done...

BIG PICTURE... BIG PICTURE....

 

[Scorpus]

I hope there is a chance.

Aish and Redden seem like they want to go elsewhere. Mayes is a potential.

 

[Bovo]

And our third rounder back. ******* brilliant.
Look, I know it's not worth a whole lot in this draft, but obviously Geelong, A COMPETITOR, want it for something. It has some value, and likely could have helped secure other targets.

This is really below standard.

Makes sense when you think about it. Geelong have given up their first two round picks. Their first pick (pending future trades) is round 3. They get two round 3 picks (in a draft with little depth) and we have 2 x first round picks and 2 x second round picks. Although I would argue that we should not have given them our 3 round draft pick....we now have 4 picks under 33 (thus far) and would probably not use that pick 50 anyway.

Geelong will have to be very lucky or strategic with their first two picks (44 or whatever) and pick 50 to land decent long term talent.

I would have loved Geelong's first round next year too, but damn it is better than what the AFL were prepared to give us. Glad it is over and now we close out the Dangerfield period.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Let's face it , we weren't getting anymore than what we got from Geelong. Atleast we finished the Dangerfield deal early in which leaves us to trade for other targets

No. Forget about gore, he's steak knifes ands value is nothing. So we get pick 9 and 28 for one of the best midfielders in the competition and the the deal gets done before lunch time on day one.

Absolutely pathetic.
