Trade/FA rumours

[one-eyed]

How do we get pick 19 to trade it to Carlton for Yarran?

Better not be pick 12!

They're saying it's got something to do with future picks

Just read that on twitter.

Apparently we've agreed to swap 2016 first round picks with Port. Imagine if we finish below them next year  .

From Stevo

@Stevo7AFL: Richmond moving up order this year to 19 in Dixon deal clearly gives more wriggle room re Yarran

Re Dixon deal

@Stevo7AFL: Exclusive: Dixon deal will be great for Suns .. Believe 10 and 31 this year and Port and Rich second rounders next year @7NewsMelbourne

And somehow we get pick 19 from this year from Gold Coast I think

Still trying to confirm

That's better if it's two second round picks instead of first rounders.

Yep would be good deal if true

Most important bit is we have traded 1st round picks this year or next year

PORT Adelaide has again worked a multi-club shuffle of draft picks to secure a trade - this time Gold Coast key forward Charlie Dixon.

A day after using Collingwood in a three-club trade for Melbourne midfielder Jimmy Toumpas, the Power has linked up with Richmond and Carlton to end the impasse with the Suns on Dixon.

The paperwork securing the 25-year-old Dixon is being lodged with the AFL this afternoon - well before the 1.30pm Thursday deadline for the AFL trade period.

Port Adelaide will not hand away two first-round draft picks as Gold Coast had demanded.

The Power will concede its first-round draft pick (No. 10) as coach Ken Hinkley promised last month - and swap second-round draft picks in a shuffle with the Suns and Tigers.

Beyond the bonus of securing Dixon - who will ultimately replace Jay Schulz as the Power’s major go-to forward - Port Adelaide will still have a call in the top-20 of next month’s AFL draft in Adelaide.

It would be at No. 19, the end-of-first-round draft pick traded by the Suns.

The Dixon deal is expected to trigger other trades, in particular Chris Yarran’s move from Carlton to Richmond.

So Port get 19?

[Diocletian]

if we somehow scored 19, keep it and use it. Yarran is not worth a top 20 pick.

Agree.

Here it is:

"Upcoming Charlie Dixon deal should pave the way for Richmond to land Carlton speedster Chris Yarran with pick No.19 #TradePeriod

Richmond will give 31 and 2016 2nd rd pick for Suns' 19."

What a stuffing joke. Massive rip off.

[Petey]

So basically, we forfeit 3 potential picks so we can get Chris Yarren? Should we trade that 19th pick of course...

[one-eyed]

Pick 19 is worth 948 pts.

Pick 31 is worth 606 pts.

2nd round picks are worth 500-900 pts.

So yep we've paid overs.

We needed a 3rd rounder back our way to at least even up the points value (mind you in this shallow draft that wouldn't be worth it it seems).

[Diocletian]

We certainly seem to like to do Port favours this time of year. Idiot club.

[Yeahright]

Boy oh boy

CHARLIE Dixon is a Port Adelaide player after the Power and Gold Coast signed off on a three-club deal that should pave the way for Richmond to snare Carlton speedster Chris Yarran.

Dixon requested a trade to Port on the Monday after the home and away season concluded.

Port coach Ken Hinkley indicated soon afterwards that the Power would be prepared to part with their first-round pick in this year's NAB AFL Draft, No.10 overall, for the Suns spearhead.

But Gold Coast's refusal to accept that offer started a protracted negotiation between the clubs.

However, Richmond's intervention in those negotiations saw the parties reach a deal on Tuesday afternoon in which:

-Port receives Dixon and pick No.49 and gives up pick No.10 and its 2016 second-round pick.

-Gold Coast receives picks No.10 and 31 and two 2016 second-round picks and gives up Dixon and picks No.19 and 49.

-Richmond receives pick No.19 and gives up pick No.31 and its 2016 second-round pick.

Richmond will almost certainly now seek to pass on pick No.19 to Carlton for Yarran, who is contracted for 2016 but keen for a fresh start.
