Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2024

P20 isn't a 1st rounder come on...

[TigerLand]

Just saw Hartley interview. Bit pointless but was very clear and emphatic that the boys mentioned for trades (Rioli and Bolton) are contracted for a long time and it's up to the clubs who have nominated them to come to the party.

I think with the hard line, which is good, it'll be tricky for us to combine many trades both Bolton and Rioli will drag on a bit and get done but will leave us with dealing with Baker for pick 13 without anything to move up the draft until very late. Which I'm fine with.

If it means we lock in 10,11 for Bolton and 6,13 for Rioli, its a win for the club and just reward for ensuring your player currency is contracted and signed up.

The sequencing of these deals is super important. I’d be trying to get goldie done first. That sets the scene for expectations on Bolton and, with Rioli done, I feel we can start to leverage west coast and freo’s picks against each other for Baker and Bolton. I’d be more than open to pick 3 for Bolton and a another pick - say early 2nd rounder.
This should force Freo’s hand and help get us picks 10 and 11.
Providing Freo take the bait, having put pick 3 in play for Eagles and given they have established a “buy” position with us, we keep pick 3 in play for Bakes and pick 11.
We have a unique leverage position that we must use wisely.

[TigerLand]

I'd be pretty confident that with the deal for Baker we can ask WCE to play ball to make Freo pay overs.

We'd happily play ball if Pies or Blues were to pay overs for someone else.

Rioli deal should be done first thats the most straight forward.

Rioli and late picks for points <-> Pick 6 and 13. Add in we pay Rioli salary and its a deal that helps GC hugely. Allows them $ to get someone else and help their crappy wage structure they have nearly fixed. Poor from GC that this deal hasn't been done on day 1 in all honesty. Have had weeks to be ready and they choose a peeing contest.

Were not getting 13. It's going to someone else in the Houston trade unless it's a mega trade. 

[Assange Tiger 😎]

12 and 16 for Brad Ottens wasn't it? Think Dan is a good player, been fantastic since he went down back. But stuff me we are making off like bandits if we're getting anything more than pick 6.

What did Collingwood pay for Shultz ‘s?

[Assange Tiger 😎]

7 or 8. and no, I don't think Schultz is better than Rioli.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

That's a lie. A future 1st rounder and pick 34 apparently upon googling. So whatever pick the Pies have this year I suppose

That was a long long time ago, you generally get a lot better returns for players then you did even 3-5 years ago let alone 25 years ago. Adelaide traded Danger to Geelong for picks 9&28 and some dude called Dean Gore. Granted he was out of contract so it’s a bit of a different situation but still.

Sadly, that looks the case.

SUNS' PREFERENCE TO DEAL WITH PIES

Gold Coast has a preference to deal with Collingwood in a trade for its highly sought after pick No.13, potentially putting the Pies in the box seat to land Dan Houston from Port Adelaide.

A host of clubs have come hard for Gold Coast's in-demand selection, but the Suns would prefer to deal with Collingwood over the pick as they haggle over a trade for contracted defender John Noble.

"We're keen to deal with the clubs that we're trying to find some players from. That would be our first preference," Gold Coast list manager Craig Cameron told AFL.com.au's Gettable Trade Radio on Monday.

"(But) pick No.13 has become pretty popular, so we'll see how it pans out. I wouldn't say [Collingwood] is in front, but we're prepared to deal with them to see where we can get to on the John Noble stuff."

That almost sounds like they think we’ll roll over on getting 6 and 13 for Rioli. Which somewhat irks me.

They've been pushing for Rioli all year, if they don't cough up what we want we tell them we'll keep him. After all he's still contracted for 3 more years.
What a bunch of knobs.
Pay up or pizz off.

Noble for Pick 13 is absolutely nonsense. Absolutely crazy.
