Winners and Losers of trade week

[FyfeToAdelaide]

The club stuck to it's refresh strategy with a new coach & footy manager after the infamous camp & cancer of the last 2 years.

We have cleared out most of our older players (we were the 3rd oldest list) & loaded up on draft picks for our best ever draft hand - #4, #23, #28, #45, #49... to bring in the next gen.

Also, we have brought in future picks for next year's draft for Edwards & Borlase.

We have lost 2 best 22 players, depth & experience... but that's what happens with a refresh.

Unlikely to make the finals next season, but at least the club has reset with core experienced players to support the next gen coming through.

For all anyone knows a new coach and style may change everything. Good or bad, look at how much a coaching change did to Carlton' s second half of the season. People with the mass exodus line we lost 9 players. Did Carlton, Freo and port have a mass exodus? Their list changes are 10,8 and 8

Landed the best player to change clubs this year?

Think you are confused

McDougal Howard went to the Saints

 

[Sweet Jesus]

West coast got arguably the best player in the comp

He's not that.

 

[Marcel Proust]

The fact my club won’t be picking Jenkins, Jacobs and Betts over Fogarty, ROB and Stengle next year makes me very happy.

How the hell did Carlton miss out on Martin?

is Stengle going to make it?

 

[eastfreo75]

Silvagni is an absolute joke of a list manager.... Just get the deals done man! an absolute unmitigated disaster by any measure...

Suns wanted pick 6 for Martin and 15 wasn’t extreme.

What crap manager.

 

[Rooey18]

By keeping our first rounder next year we are still going to have had four first rounders in four years + hill.

we are still believing in the draft we also took 5 last year and next year we have round 1,3 and 4.

this year we have upgraded Wilkie who is also going to be clear best 22 - it’s very clever planning

 

[Dogsman16]

Essendon one of the biggest losers imo.

Middle of the road club with plenty of players near 30 years old and their first pick is in the 30s.

Not accepting either 5+9 or 9+future first for a bloke who’s hardly seen the park in 2 years is baffling.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Frankly I applaud the clubs who held players to contracts.

 

[BACCS]

No. Jenkins cost next to nothing.
Crows paying a significant amount of his salary and the 3rd rounder we got back for next year is the Suns. So should be before 40.

Pick 37 for likely pick 40 or better... and don't have to pay him in full.
The trade period equivalent of being traded for a packet of chips and a can of coke.

Significant part of his salary? He’s on 450k at most each of the next two years and we are paying half, I’m very happy with that.

 

[Mofra]

Happy with our KPDs and keeping pick 13. There is a sneaky chance Melbourne pick up Jack Martin in the PSD so could end up "delayed winners"

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Significant part of his salary? He’s on 450k at most each of the next two years and we are paying half, I’m very happy with that.

Half of a salary not to play at your club would be something I'd deem significant. Most would.

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

Port the easy winner for the week. How often can you trade pick 10 down to pick 12 for absolutely no reason and it not be a significant win.

 

[BACCS]

is Stengle going to make it?

Kicked 30-40 in the sanfl this year and was our leading goal kicker, seemed to play a bit more midfield time later in the season too. Confident he can play 10-15 games next year and get confidence at afl level.

If the suns dont bring him back there is a very good chance Martin will be a Dee

 

[BACCS]

Half of a salary not to play at your club would be something I'd deem significant. Most would.

It’s effectively less than half the average wage of an AFL player, it’s significantly better than having to keep him on the list at full salary.

 

[FyfeToAdelaide]

Half of a salary not to play at your club would be something I'd deem significant. Most would.

Better than 100% of his salary not to play at the club.

 

[BACCS]

Port the easy winner for the week. How often can you trade pick 10 down to pick 12 for absolutely no reason and it not be a significant win.

I thought you did quite well last year, not sure what they were smoking this year!

 

[BACCS]

Frankly I applaud the clubs who held players to contracts.

So happy GC grew some balls and didn’t buckle on Martin, can pick him up in the PSD

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Name those plenty of players

Are either of you actually trying to refute what I said or is this a pointless conversation?
I stated we got him for what likely is a minimal pick downgrade from one year to the next and that the Crows are paying a significant amount of his salary. Given it is half, what part of that is in inaccurate?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

is Stengle going to make it?

Got the talent & the tricks... just needs to up his fitness levels. Should get a decent go next year with Eddie leaving.

McAdam is the one I'm really looking forward to next year with the x factor.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Winners - Saints, Dogs, Eagles, Bombers
Losers - Power, Crows, Swans, Blues

The part where we both won

 

[Dogsman16]

Name those plenty of players

Bellchambers, Zaharakis, Hurley, Hooker, Brown, Mckernan. I’d say all but Brown are best 22 and obviously man the key position posts.

Daniher as well probably another who goes next year. Basically your whole spine.

 

[eastfreo75]

West Coast won and by a fair margin , Kelly will get them a top2 finish from there they will get a shot at another GF.
How do you put a value on that?
Can any other team say the same?

Agree.

Kelly, Yeo, Sheuy, Gaff, and Nick Nat are all are possible All Australians.
