Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2021

[one-eyed]

What happens now? The Dogs and Magpies, in particular, will trade draft picks between now and draft night. Both will probably trade their current first draft picks.

The Dogs trade pick 23 for a couple of draft picks and maybe a future pick. They will need to be watchful of how many list sports they have available.

Collingwood will most likely trade pick 27 on or before draft night for a future draft pick. Why? They will probably have enough points to cover a bid for Daicos without needing to use pick 27, so why risk seeing a valuable high pick wash away on a bid for Daicos if they have other picks that can cover the bid? They then have the choice of trading that new future pick back into this draft once they have brought Daicos in. Or they just hang onto it and use it next year.

And that is the point of the points.

Tigers just swapped picks 38 and 40 for pick 27 from Collingwood.
Great move IMO.

Also next years 3rd from us

Gave up a fair bit IMO

[camboon]

I’m with you , it’s good move,

[Damo]

I’m with you , it’s good move,

38 and 40 is more points than 27 before you start

Then next years 3rd as well .. fair bit to give up

Dude, honestly who gives a stuff about the points?
We’ve moved up up the draft 10 places giving us 5 picks in the first two rounds.
That’s a win no matter how you look at it!

[Rampsation]

We now control the 26 27 28. Bazzo and Taylor potentially inbthe frame or package up 26 and 15 to move to a top 5 puck?

[Dogga]

I agree Loui.

There was no way Collingwood were going to give up pick 27 without a future pick involved. I have no issues with it. Having 26,27 and 28 gives a good chance to get the players we are after. Assuming of course we don’t package them up for a higher pick.

[Rampsation]

I would go to the draft with these picks. Its a strong hand.

[Knighter]

Should have got Lollingwoods future 4th rounder in return also - given their only be 1 pick difference between them seems fair

[Diocletian]

Wouldn't be surprised if we try and get another top 10 pick now...

[Owl]

THat is what I was thinking Dio, just hope we don't go silly on that deal.

[Tiger Khosh]

Great hand. All up to the recruiters now to chose correctly. This draft can set us up for years and years to come although history suggests it is impossible to hit on 5 picks in a single draft.

[camboon]

I have faith in our recruiter, they have got a lot right in the last five years even with the hand we had whilst winning premierships
