Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 7 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

I would imagine De Koning is worth more on the trade market than Smith is. Hope we target SDK, good player already / outstanding prospect but if its either of us adding something to the deal, its probably us

I can't imagine them allowing De Koning to leave

Someone just told me :
All three clubs currently discussing,
McKay to Melb
SDK to Carlton
Oliver to Geelong

Have no idea if this has any credibility.

Would mean Geelong rate Oliver higher than Baz.

May be if Dees paying half his salary.

This band one compensation news is a disaster for our Geelong pick.

We better be demanding a lot more than just their first now.

Been saying for a while now that Geel need to find a way to get that pick 15 up closer to 10 so that it ends up around 12

 

[grassman75]

An arbitration panel for unrestricted free agents would have solved it, and make the acquiring club pay in draft pick points rather than bumping others down the order.

It’s utterly stupid as it is now.

In an ideal world compo shouldn’t be in the first round for anyone….more like the Franklin situation

The funny thing about Smith taking so long to request a trade, sitting with their sponsors, mentally checking out of the Dogs is that it'll put more pressure on Geelong to make a deal. They've committed to Smith and Smith has committed to him. The downside on missing out on Smith is more than the ordinary fact that you don't want to see through a trade of a player. We didn't commit to James Peatling before a trade got done, so there was no issue with our longer term relationship with him and his management team when we refused to up our offer to match Adelaide's. That isn't the case with Smith.

McKay who?

Andrew McKay from 15 years ago? There's no universe in which Harry McKay is involved in that trade.

 

[Doggy]

Another first round pick ... for Cumming? Fml guy can't get on the park and isn't that good

Yes Harry
Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m with you !

End of first round pick expected. So puts dogs back to 35 before bids.

I doubt this has any legs.
On output so far Oliver has been ahead of Smith

Probably be atleast 40 by the time we pick if that if we end up keeping it

Not like we're doing anything else with it

I can see the Oprah meme….you get a first rounder and you get a first rounder

Not quite, because picks in the 30s will be used to match picks in the top 20, so picks will actually move up

Hopefully it does move up a little. Just want as many higher picks in this draft as possible and hit the draft as hards as we can to try and fix our aging list problem before it gets out of hand Norf style

Billy Beane was right in Moneyball...

We have the big Melbourne teams
Then the big 6 Interstate teams
Then the midsize Melbourne teams and 2 small Interstate teams
Then you have 50 feet of shit
Then there's Us

 

[Wizard17]

Melbourne has its future first-round pick on the table for the Suns' selection as well, while Sydney has looked at packaging its first-round picks to move up the board. The Giants, now armed with picks 15, 16 and 21, could also look to shift up the board while the Western Bulldogs are another club to have been linked with the selection.

We are apparently trying to get the Suns pick 13

I can’t tell if thats good or not given the overpay last year.

She has a bit of form for putting JJ in it.

Maybe we’ll just keep trading our future 1st for a current 1st rounder for the next 100 years so we never miss out.

Absurd. Smith is twice the commodity Oliver is everywhere except on the ground.

The big issue with Oliver is that he is a disaster off-field, but it’s not exactly like Smith is clean and he has the knee. It oddly makes sense, even though Smith is younger.
