Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2024

[Tiger Khosh]

I’ve a source at WCE who says he will move on from the club most likely end of next year. Hasn’t said where to though

Every Vic club will be after him & probably the Swans as well - but my uneducated guess would be;

- If it's about lifestyle & love for club - Geelong

 - If it's about crowds and who's closest to flags- Hawthorn or Carlton

- If it's about crowds, bargaining power, trade capital, long term vision & security - us.....

If we win the spoon next year and balta leaves as a free agent would you be trading pick 1 and 2 for him? Seems like an almighty unprecedented draft capital to give up. Even if you classify Reid as a 10/10 prospect, surely grabbing the top 2 kids in the country serves us better. Besides isnt there someone in next years draft that you rate as a similar level of talent as Reid?

Sharp is a clear stand out at this stage - doesn't mean he's a once in a generation type like Reid..more a stand out like Walsh and JHF were in their years as opposed to this year when you can throw a blanket over half a dozen blokes -he may be better than all of them but unlikely as good as Reid.....and who said we'd necessarily have to give up both picks? There's future firsts -including trading 2 years in advance allowed from next year- seconds, steak knives like Miller, Blight, Green or whoever....

Well we have lots of TPP space.

EBA increase.

Just offer him 10 years for about $15mil.

Some of these you tube idiots have NFI. 
Looking at one now we lose Rioli, Bolton & Baker for 3, 11 & 14. 
Throw in 2 extra picks and we're close.

Given that 3 is in there I'm actually not too far off on that one. Needs a bit more work to satisfy me but it's not a bad start.

3 is a good pick probably for either Bolton or Rioli.

14 is overs for Baker.

11 unders for either Bolton or Rioli.

[Diocletian]

lmao thank stuff some of you aren't involved in our list management. Even taking Baker out of the equation - if that's all we accepted for two of our best players, one in career best form and the other about to hit their prime with the potential to be the best player in the comp. and both still under contract not just for just for 1 or 2 years but 3 & 4 years respectively - then Hartley should be lynched and Punt Road burnt to the stuffing ground. stuff me drunk.....

you have said this a few times, and im trying to understand the logic that baker is not worth 14 which really is 16 after barrass, levi and Battle.

also is that pick 3 on its own you are suggesting is okay on its own for bolton or rioli, in a strong top 15 draft?

lets be clear we hold all the cards, not the other way around. Baker can walk but he wont, and that hawthorn pick will have to do as its likely to come to us for him.

as for the rest. We should be asking for freos first 2 picks in this draft,(their own and the pies) and ideally we move up on our second pick to swap with their 16.

Suns need to get creative as those first 2 picks are not acceptable for Dan. Furthermore, the hopper and idiot tax should be applied to Dimma in all transactions.

I just don't think Baker is worth quite that much or maybe 14 sliding to 16 is about right but I'd consider that a decent deal for us.

Pick 3 is a good pick to have because even if the top 10 and then 11-30 are largely even it gives us the opportunity to draft the two players we want to pair up together for the future.

And as I said I don't think it's far off. Not saying it's perfect.

I expect to pay some of Rioli and Bolton wages though which should improve our return and at those picks I wouldn't be paying them poo.

[cub]

So when do we find out all these movement delisting's etc
Yeah I don't pay that much attention bar game day 

[Loui Tufga]

It all starts Monday the 7th of October, hold onto your hats folks

well i dont agree Andy, not even in the slightest. That pairing up rubbish is working for the suns well? We are not the suns and our home is the mcg. We wont have FOS or Jagga deflecting anytime soon, because we only selected one of them.

IMV you only pair up if you think you can have the best 2 absolute best players in the draft, which from all reports could be anyone in that top 10.

Paying their wages is of little consequence IMO. I would pay 50% of it, if it meant we can screw these clubs over an additional top 10 pick. Reason is we havent got anyone else to absorb the rest of our cap now have we, with the exception of Balta.

Trade update - Gettable

Rioli to GC: Pick 6 will be involved. Possibility of another pick if we have our way.

Baker: Freo willing to offer pick 10. WC still have 3 on the table if we can pry it out.

Shai: Will get to Freo. 2 1sts will do it.

Graham: 50/50

Baker and 12 to WCE for pick 3… Barass pick no longer in play as club views it as not enough

[Willy]

Would take 10 for Bakes.

[OneEyedRichmond]

Would take 10 for Bakes.

Pick 9 & 10 are for Bolton 😉
