AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
I think if there is no trade done then it would force them into deep deficit for next year. Would be fun to do just to see if the AFL sticks to their guns and ends up stripping a club of most of their picks for the next year.can we take ashcroft no 1?
I always look at it from a risk point of view. With 2 players at 6 and 10 there are two chances we have that one will go the distance. We would look mighty stupid if we gave those two picks away and pick 2 turns into an Ibbotson (the Freo guy) and never gets on the park due to injuries.I honesty don't want pick two.
The talk forever has been how even the first round is. If that's the case the clubs with the top six picks might conceivable have six different players in mind as to who they consider six best. If we keep six (assuming we get it) we might well end up with a player we ranked second anyhow or at worst the third. To give away picks 6 and 10 (worst case I know) is insanity. Even 6 and a later pick seems completely unnecessary to me.
If we have too many picks then simply trade them into next years draft. We aren't Gold Coast where we can just fritter them away.
Probably would of taken Shorts spot and done better. **** me imagine a fit Yarran and Houli running down the wings from half back.if yarran wasnt a druggie we probably 5 peat
you got it..Look at where we are. We are ground zero of a rebuild. It’s not the direction we should go.
Carlton will want first round draft picks and we cannot under any circumstances give any we have up.

More bites at the cherry are always a better thing in the long term. You may end up missing on some players like Martin or Kelly, but you may also miss out on the Trengroves, Watts, Dow, Morabito, Gumbleton etc. I would posit that if you were to take more picks in the draft, the average level of the team will be better.You would also look mighty stupid if pick 2 turns into another Dustin Martin and you took the next Jayden Stephenson and Jake Melksham with picks 6 & 10. So this(fear of looking foolish) is not a reason to not do that trade. There may be other reasons not to do the trade but your reasoning needs to be value based, always. And it is so dependant on who is likely to be available at which pick, and how you rate them, and what level of confidence you have in being correct.
A somewhat simlar deal involved Melbourne giving up pick 2(Josh Kelly GWS) & pick 20(end up being Darcy Gardiner at 22) for Dom Tyson and pick 9(Salem) and pick 53(ended up pick 57, Jayden Hunt.)
Out of all the players in that deal Josh Kelly is by far the best and most valuable player. No doubt if we searched hard enough we could find deals that worked the other way. But it just comes down to how much you value the players you can get from the respective picks.
Ibbotson? Played nearly 200 games as a 2nd rounder.More bites at the cherry are always a better thing in the long term.

Legend, updated the post.Ibbotson? Played nearly 200 games as a 2nd rounder.
Morabito?
The actual numbers show that it’s actually quite close when it comes to trading multiple top twenty picks for a top three or so selectionsMore bites at the cherry are always a better thing in the long term.

God that is an annoying table. Would love to have the top 10 to be individual numbers then go 11-15, 16-20 etc.The actual numbers show that it’s actually quite close when it comes to trading multiple top twenty picks for a top three or so selections
This is just average games played you could make the argument that those games of the higher picks are of a better quality (hence the Brownlow vote numbers) than the lower selections which would make even more of a coin flip

No doubt that he (Tom Green) is well invested now.
But who'd have thought three years ago that Bailey Smith, Christian Petracca and Daniel Rioli would be getting talked about in the trade winds? The latter is a father/son ffs.
And even if the lure of playing for a massive MCG-based club (with some family heritage) is not a major drawcard, the simple fact is that we can pay him way more than the Giants

Woukd have been epic , still can’t believe we got the spoon again fmd. Embarrassingif yarran wasnt a druggie we probably 5 peat
Prefer his sister joanierichie cunningham is a mad Richmond fan
might have reached out to the club
Wonder where he ended up? Last thing I saw on him he had that altercation with all the cops after merhing out and stealing a car or something. Peak Yarran would have looked so good at the tigers - gotta be one of the dirtiest trade moves by Carlton selling us a proper druggie. Total campaigner moveif yarran wasnt a druggie we probably 5 peat
Yeah, of course. Tiger family royalty. Got my Rioli's mixed up.Daniel Rioli isn’t a father/son…

Definitely. Unless it's someone like Taranto/Hopper who we are willing to lose down the line it's a massive riskHard to imagine it happening but Dons front loaded Zac Merrett, don’t do TPP adjusting contracts & now he’s being offered prob twice what he’s on for the next 3 years. And (reportedly) he’s not saying a definite no.
Prepaying contracts does have its risks

If blues were giving him up as a salary dump then yes absolutely, he is very injury prone , tho with our sc resources we should be able to get him on the parkHe’s young enough to be the midfielder we bring in for more senior depth. Cost will possibly be too high unless Carlton are looking to clear his contract from their cap. He’s not on big money though so that probably doesn’t make sense unless it was heavily backloaded.
Grossly overrated Kelly , he’s contributed squat to winning what , Salem was a key contributor in a flag year only injuries have dampened his influenceYou would also look mighty stupid if pick 2 turns into another Dustin Martin and you took the next Jayden Stephenson and Jake Melksham with picks 6 & 10.
