Trade Period: Day One tidbits/SEN reported Otto deal

[Tiger Spirit]

Looks like this will be the trade:

Richmond Gain: Pick 14, 16, 30

Clubs seem less likely to want to trade away their high draft picks these days.  And the only way we’re likely to get two Round 1 picks for Otto is to have them that high.

If we get say a pick 7 the chances are that we will only get one Round 1 pick, plus some later picks thown in for Otto.

This way, if we get 14 and 16 (two round 1 picks) plus pick 30, that’s about as good a deal as Clubs are likely to do and is more of a win I reckon.

Agree TS.

picks 14, 16, 30 for two underachievers sounds good to me!

If we pick up one good player from these three picks we will break off even with losing Brad Notthens (who had no influence on the game whatsoever) and Ty Xanadu (who was a wanna be bad boy thug who showed nothing)

Sounds like the swans are going hard after Adelaides pick 8.

Pick 8 and the swans first round pick for Ottens.

[Disco]

pick 7 or 8!!

Now were talking!

[Rodgerramjet]

Pick 8, the Maggots have pick 7

[mightytiges]

No news on Otto and Zantuck  .

Roos have given up their first and second pick for Nathan Thomson so they're definitely out of the race for Otto.

Rumour has the Swans making one last play towards the Crows' pick 8 in exchange for Fosdike (South Aussie) and Doyle to get Otto (can't see that happening). Looks like its the Cats or PSD.

The other rumour is Whitnall to the Saints.

[Harry]

Pick 7 or 8 will get us one of Lewis, Roughead or Monfries.

C'mon Swannies !!

Picks 8 and 15 would be great.

Considering Thompson went to the the roos for picks 10 and 26, we should realistically be aiming for this.

North are out of their minds BTW.

[Rodgerramjet]

I agree, North completely out of their minds, but considering the fact that Thompson is already out of his mind perphaps he's gone to the right place

Swans comming with a late run, lets hope they make it

Mark Williams has said that he won't make a deal with Carr and will let him go into the PSD.  Do we take him with our first pick ?  Maybe for 1 year and then take Freo's first rounder next year ?

That's an idea Harry. If we trade for Simmonds then we'll have our PSD available.  Probably get him to play on the cheap if we promise him 1 year then send him off to Freo. If there wasn't anyone else decent available in the PSD then I would go for it.

Alternatively get his brother over .

what about Carltons pick? Pagan likes picking up players from other clubs. I wonder if the swans have tried to get thier pick?

I don't think Carr will get into the PSD. If freo can't come up with th deal Carr will re-sign with port.

The Blues want to keep their first pick after not having one the past couple of years due to their salary cap cheating.

[mightytiges]

The Geelong players rumoured to be up for trade in the Otto/Zantuck deal are Wojcinski and Mooney.

Sheeds will be laughing if he had Mooney at CHB. He knows the Dons aren't too far away. Wouldn't mind picking up a 25 year old CHB at Tigerland if we weren't rebuilding  .

[JohnF]

Roos have given up their first and second pick for Nathan Thomson

   Insane!!!!!

Why do clubs rate duds just becuase they are tall  ???

I would have second thoughts about giving up only a second round pick for Thompson if my team was on the cusp of a premiership!
