Welcome Welcome to Adelaide: James Peatling - Traded with F3, F4 for F2

[Thrillthorpe7]

It doesn’t help that most of the big names looking to move clubs (bar Smith) are contracted, but yeah you’d think the smaller deals would be sorted out at least. Like Peatling, Harry Sharp, even guys like Parker and Stringer (given the packages for both of them seem very straightforward)

North and Sydney are just haggling over pick 44 or 62 for Parker, wtf is the point? Kane made a good point this morning about list managers always wanting to have the appearance of winning a trade and therefore we get into this pointless haggling over meaningless picks, when in reality there is nothing wrong with a fair trade either and just getting the deal done.

Are clubs just trolling supporters at this point or have the AFL told them to hold off until Wednesday? No player trades since day one, even ones like this which don't appear to look that complicated.

The longer they drag it out, the more ads for Continental Tyres they can get people to tune in for.

If it was a continental breakfast, I'd be in.

You’re the man. Can you now send them these:

1) when will you step in and save the Crows from Nicks, Roo, Hamish and Kelly?
2) when will you admit the AFL is a joke of a competition?

Haven't we just discovered that picks that might seem meaningless end up having value. Whatever we could have gotten back from Melbourne, could have sweetened the Peatling offer. Even sitting on surplus picks v spots on draft night can yield a future pick. And if you're arguing that some picks are worthless/meaningless, then surely there's no reason that they don't end up in your hands being wasted on draft night.

Looks fake.

Clear, concise, and logical. No chance that came from the AFL.

Probably an overzealous work experience kid, actually doing their job.
Hasn't learned proper grifting yet.

Could be interesting if a surprise early bid comes in for Welsh (say late second/early third), and we've given our picks away for Peatling (F2/F3).

You'd think it's pretty straightforward to pick up enough late picks to cover though this year.

With clubs like Brisbane, GC and Essendon hoarding 2nd and 3rd rounders to match bids, 64 will come in, probably to 50-something, and 84 will also come in.

If pick 64 ends up at say, 52, we're covered for any bids 40 and after. (bid at 39 a 3 point deficit). If it ends up at 53, we're covered for 41 and after, and so on.

Was only Ralph but he was talking like it was F3 for Peatling, that sounds like horseshit

Latest Inside Trading on AFL site says GWS now asking for F2 only. I think we shake hands and it gets done tomorrow.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Trade suggestion

Crows receive:

Peatling + F3 + F4


GWS receive:

F2 + F4


We use two of our F3's to trade back in to rd 2 of 2025

 

[Crow-eater]

 

[Sizzlepack]

I think an F2 is par. Obviously our exact finish next year will determine if it's slight overs or slight unders, but I'm content to do the deal at that price.

Yep, or swap of future 2nds & we also hand over one of our future 3rds.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Yep, or swap of future 2nds & we also hand over one of our future 3rds.

This would be the perfect scenario, but I think it ends up just the one-for-one swap

 

[Crow till I die]

Yep, or swap of future 2nds & we also hand over one of our future 3rds.

I know it sounds like haggling for the sake of it, but if we give our F2, then why not push for their F3 back and our F4 goes to them so we have 3 x F3's, no F2 and no F4

Reason for this is if we have some trade outs next year, we might accrue a heap of points we can trade to one of the many clubs who have academy / F/S kids and maybe end up with a couple of 1sts (ours and one we have traded for for points) and some back ended picks

 

[Shifty Crow]

The deal has probably already been agreed too

Need to drag it out for the AFL trade theatre

I'm getting nervous. Just get it done Adelaide!!!!!

It will get done.

There won't be a need to use the PSD.

From a mate I know that works in footy media - it's all for show. The AFL build the suspense to keep the clicks coming into their own site (and others, keeping their friends in the media happy) and listeners tuning into Continental Tyres ads. The deals will all get done in the deadline rush.

This year feels way more ridiculous and contrived than most though.

No need to get nervous. Worst case scenario he just goes to the PSD and we get him for nothing.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

They know all too well that it's not an idle threat!

Doubt it given how many big deals are still to be done. AFL wouldn’t like it that trade week has been a piss take so far with **** all done, makes a mockery of it
