Hot Topic Trade/Free Agency Talk 2021 edition

Just hand over pick 6 and get the deal done

But does that ever actually happen? You gotta **** around for a week first, trying to get Fremantle to accept 25 + someone we are going to delist anyway.

Stoked with the acquisition of Hewett, perfectly targetted and executed by Austin and co.

Hopefully Hewett's work ethic and defensive attitude rubs off on his new teammates.

A real moneyball pick and the kind of trade that I have always been envious that other clubs seemed to manage. Brilliant stuff from SOC.
He is the kind of player that Roos likes to bring in to help setup the training and culture at the start. A great addition to Ed and Walsh

A 'B' grade player who like to tackle and run both ways......more if this please

B grade might be a bit harsh

 

[therubbernub]

He might actually teach the rest of our midfield how to become two way onballers.

You are unhappy with Walsh and his running? Ed seems to try pretty hard as well.....

I wasn't having a crack or being sarcastic.

You need lots of non A grade players who play their role to be a good side. Nothing wrong with a B grade player.

Austin should have free pasta for a year from Lygon St for his work so far this off-season.

If that happens, hopefully someone can organise free haircuts for Hewett

Richmond, St Kilda, Essendon could all look to swoop in.

When did Cerra say he wanted to end up at any of those clubs?

People talking about splitting pick 6 are going to be mighty disappointed when we hand over pick 6 and our second rounder.

There's running hard and then there's defensive pressure.

No doubt Walsh runs hard but is it next to an opponent stopping their run or like so many of our midfielders trailing behind?

Ed used to have that side of his game no doubt, but he's getting on, GH is the new Ed.

if we hand over pick 25 as well as 6, Luke Sayers should frog march Nick Austin out the front door of Princes Parlk.

Regardless of the fact that is way overs for Cerra,it would mean our first pick in the draft is pick 64 in a year when there is only supposed to be around 50 players selected in the draft.. we probably get something in the 30s for SPS but still that is a horrendous draft hand, especially when we didn’t take a 1st rounder last year..

 

[BlueTongue]

Doubt either Freo or WCE would go for that. However, using your deal as a base, how about this...

Carlton Lose: -> 6, 25, 61, SPS Gain: Cerra, 18
Freo Lose: -> Cerra Gain: 10, 25
WCE Lose: -> 10 Gain: 14, SPS
Bris Lose: 14, 18 Gain: 6, 61

I know it might be a fun excercise, but when was the last time you saw a 4-way trade/pick swap? or even a 3 way?

 

[Michael Jezz]

Richmond, St Kilda, Essendon could all look to swoop in.

I don't think they have the combination of picks and cap space.

TBH, not sure why we delisted Levi. There has been a lot of interest in him apparently, and even though we might not have got much, we may have been able to upgrade some picks if we had traded.

Look at GH's stats every time he was given a gig in the guts.....

If not A grade, as close to as to not be worthy of discussion.

Glass half full would mean that pick 64 gets a 14 pick upgrade to pick 50

Agreed, everyone knew he was playing off 1 leg.

Give that knee time and remediation and....

All I can think is the knee is too much of an issue?

He was an unrestricted free agent

Not sure what pick 80 would get us, no-one would trade for him, nothing worth while anyway

I think with Austin this trade period, his performance is based a lot around keeping a second rounder intact. He has room to let it slide a bit but we need one decent pick. It would be pretty average to give up a first and second rounder leaving us with no draft hand in 21.

If our current pick was to remain a second rounder but slip back 5-9 spots I’d be ok with that And give Austin a pass. To do that he has to be creative.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Ridiculous excuse. He would have signed for another year, if we offered one. He has been content do that in the past.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Any swapping of picks in the Cerra trade will certainly be next year’s future picks, we most likely use our #25 and the SPS 2nd rounder (#29/35) to draft in kids or bundling them up to gain an earlier 1st round pick…

We are the 6th youngest side. Austin won't be frog marched anywhere

Maybe thats overs but no where near as much as you’re making out. The point I’m making is that people who think it’s pick 6 plus meaningless steak knives will be disappointed.

The post I quoted suggested trading him. Can't trade a restricted free agent.
