Review Winners and losers - trade week 2024

Remove this Banner Ad

West Coast is an interesting one, maybe doesn’t look as bad whe you look at it in totality now but I don’t think that paints the real picture. It’s not that that what they’ve got is diabolical it’s more that it could’ve and probably should’ve been a fair bit more. I’m not sure why that is, did they outsmart themselves? pride? incompetence? It’s just seems odd.

I’m clearly in the minority but I reckon West Coast has done quite well. Everyone seems to be focused on the Baker deal while forgetting about the Barrass deal which was outstanding for them.

In:
Baker
Owies
12
FR1
FR2
FR3

Out:
Barrass
3
FR4

That’s far from a loss imo.

They could have had 3, Baker, Owies
Instead they have 12, Baker, Owies

They screwed up on Friday. Today we got what we wanted.

If we finish above Carlton in 2025 we absolutely win.

Adelaide A?? One pick under 60 in the best draft in 25 years according to the experts. You’re kidding yourself, or delusional about the players you've brought in.
 
Winners:
Cats - Smith a steal
Blues - Pick 3 in and Owies Out
Pies - Cleaned house and picked up a 2 x AA for good value
Edit: Tigers also got full value for their players traded

Losers:
WCE - Paid Pick 14 for Baker and lost Pick 3 when they could have gotten pick 14 from the Hawks - diabolical
Port - Lost a 2 x AA and a F1 for a mish mash.
I noticed something you didn't mention.......You got reamed by WC for Barrass.
 
So basically WCE would have had Baker and pick 3 v now having Baker and 12, Hawks F1

There is 0% chance anyone is trading pick 3 in this draft for a pick that is around 20 next year on draft night and 12 this year. Horrible from West Coast

Gave up 28 for ANB (third in the Melbourne B&F) and approx Pick 30 next year for Peatling (Best 22 in a team that should have made the GF and they wanted to keep). Add Cumming, also GWS best 22 when fit, who you may be underrating, and, that one Pick in the best draft this century is Pick 4; an elite midfielder.
 
Collingwood Getting Perryman and Houston when we Started before trade period we had not much Currency and only Losing Noble and Richards from Playing List
Houston is very good player but if Collingwood doesn’t win a premiership in the next 2-3 years it’s a failure with compromised drafts and a ageing playing list. It’s a high risk high reward move be interesting to see how it plays out

Way overpaid for a 28yo B grader in a strong draft. Adelaide the new Essendon. Recruiting average players, fans get excited, then miss finals again. Repeat

Correct they’ve gone all in. They’ll end up falling down the ladder for a little period.

But if you get a flag who cares. Admire that they always play to win

Cheese and Peats are nice players but not as good as you are making out …. Solid is the word

You seem well placed to judge Essendon - but Adelaide might surprise you. Last season was compromised by the loss of Thilthorpe pre-season; they'll be big improvers this year
 
hard to go past Port. Gave away a 2 X AA and our F1 for 3 blokes who were playing VFL in 2024.

Yeh that was some trade out of a video game.

Package up three potatoes for a gun.

Port a B?! Even a C- is being generous.

How many years have we been hearing this out of Adelaide?
