The Ideal Trade Month

Featured Replies

Posted

With the October trade month commencing on Monday, what is the best outcome.

For me its starts with the Father and son bidding with Jack Viney coming to us for our second round pick. I had been a get Hogan fan until the Butcher rumors started to circulate so for me Butcher would be a great pick up.

Here is my Ideal Trade week and I'm trying to be fair with the trades

As Mentioned Viney for Second round pick

Butcher and Ports Pick 7 to Melbourne for pick 4 and 13

Wellingham and Pies Third Round for our third round pick and Martin

Byrnes and Knights FA

Koby Stevens Pick 3 in the Pre-Season Draft

Petterd and our 4th rd pick to Richmond for their second Round Pick

A bidding war between clubs for Rivers and Moloney resulting in us securing 2 further second round picks rather than losing them as free agents

Cook to Carlton for third round pick on trade to North for Pederson

Gysberts to Geelong for second round pick.

We get Butcher, Pick 7, Wellingham, Byrnes, Knights, Stevens, Pederson and three 2nd round picks, Viney

We lose Pick 4 and 13, Our second round pick(Viney), Moloney, Rivers, Petterd, Gysberts, Martin and Cook, our fourth round pick

This leaves us with Picks 3, 7 and three second round picks in the National draft big month meaning we will turn over 12-13 players.

 

If we pick up Byrnes and Knights as FAs, that would probably cancel out losing Riv and Beamer as FAs. ie. no second round picks for Riv and Beamer. That's roughly the way the AFLs FA points system works.

I can't help but wonder why Port are considering trading Butcher. He was seen as the future of their forward line less than 12 mths ago. I'm thinking perhaps his body is shot somehow. No doubt, our medicos will do their due diligence and test him out first. We don't have a great track record with managing chronically injured players. If not, Hogan sounds like a good option.

Other than that, I really like your thinking DrD.

No A-graders there, DrD.

In that case I would want to keep 3, 4 and 13.

If we pick up 4/5 of Wellingham, Stevens, Knights, Byrnes, Butcher, Pedersen/Casboult, Jacobs, Pearce, or Caddy AND keep 3, 4, and 13 then that would be a good trade week.

None of those players should be mentioned in the same sentence as Pick 3 or 4.

We would have a very good trade week if we got Hogan, 3, 13, Viney and 4 or 5 pros mentioned above.

Depending on how the points system works...

It is on wage and age apparently (source: recent Age article quoting Andersen).

So if we lost Bate, Rivers, and Moloney and it added up to 11 points and we got 2 FAs at 6 points we would (presumably) get 1 pick at Band 1 compensation which would be either be Pick 5 or middle of the first round (haven't seen that cleared up yet).

Geez,

I thought all this was getting confusing.

But that really cleared it up for me. .......NOT

You've got to have a degree in stupidity to come up with a system like that.

Who was it invented by Anderson or Duckworth?.


like the sound of tha DrD :) i still think trading martin would come back to bite us though!

I wish RPFC, I think it's naive to think we'll lose 3 players only one of which impacted our team this year in Rivers, and than pick up 2 players in return and expect a first round pick for it. We'll be lucky to get a band 2 second round pick for those players but a mid 2nd round or 3rd round wouldn't shock.

Imo we don't want to lose rivers and moloney as free agents, we want clubs bidding for them and we trade them.

Why would clubs trade for players they could pick up for nothing as free agents?

I think he may be implying that we should match the FA offers to force trades not realising though that Rivers is unrestricted. I may be wrong.

That's why I mentioned we need more than one club interested

that's looks like a closing down sale. I don't understand why you are looking to offload youth so cheaply.

We need to replace blokes like Dunn, Bate, Green, Moloney, Petterd, Rivers, with blokes who are up to it.

Can't believe you would give Cook away for a 3rd round pick and Gysberts for a 2nd round pick.

That to me is their current value, both spent the year at Casey, with cook bring dropped to the vfl reserves.

Nice effort, dr. Just to nitpick, I'd leave pick 4 out of a Butcher deal. We'd be madder than Brynne Edelsten to trade Gysberts for Gellong's second rounder (34-40ish) and we'd be lucky to get anything more than the world's second-largest ball of twine in return for Cook. Your Wellingham-Martin deal is the most realistic proposal regarding those players I've seen on this site.

i'm happy to show a little more patience....gysberts had ankle issues and broken jaw this year....Cook is skinny as a rake…plus only a 2nd year player. Watts has taken three years to show a little.

We should be looking at blokes like Sylvia, Morton, Dunn, Bate, etc…they've had enough time.

I don't know if it naivete. It's more improbable and unlikely but because it is a 'points' system one could lose three middling players, gain two low end players and end up with higher compensation.

I honestly don't know why people bother with these scenarios. If you're going to go to the effort to make them, surely you'd at least make them plausible - otherwise, what's the point?

We don't start match threads every week with: "The Ideal Game" and continue to list how we'll dominate each and every 5 minutes period of the game to end up 200 point winners.

Further, if you're not going to be plausible then why aim low? Why settle for Pederson for Cook when we could get Judd/Ablett/Selwood/Franklin/Rioli for Moloney?

If Viney goes through to the 2nd round I will be happy, can't see it happening though.

glad you could get off your perch in your ivory tower to tell us that.

its school holidays meets eos isnt it :huh:

Why on earth would you want to trade the only decent player on the list.

i did say 'look at'...Mark Neeld has gone public about Col's form earlier this season.

some of cols actions need to be looked at....ie., joking around with opposition players after a heavy loss.

Or we could get rid of Cook and not have to wait 3 years for him to show anything. Waiting is [censored] and we should be drafting and trading for players who can have impacts straight away.

 

Free Agent - Shannon Byrnes

Free Agent - Jordan Russell

- Stefan Martin and 3rd Round Pick for Sharrod Wellingham and 3rd Round Pick

- Jordan Gysberts to Geelong, Geelong's 2nd Round Pick to WCE, Koby Stevens to Melbourne

- Jake Spencer and Free Agency Compensation (Mid 2nd Round) for Jonathan Giles and 4th Round Pick (Stick it up GW$ and Sheedy)

Pick 3 - Jesse Hogan

Pick 4 - Jonathan O'Rourke

Pick 13 - Ben Kennedy

Pick 25 - Jack Viney

Gain - Hogan, O'Rourke, Kennedy, Viney, Byrnes, Wellingham, Giles, Stevens, Russell, Draft picks and Rookies

Lose - Spencer, Martin, Gysberts, Petterd, Bennell, Bate, Green, Lawrence, Morton, Cook, Moloney, Rivers, Jurrah

*Now I obviously don't think this will happen entirely but I hope we can get at least a couple of these to go our way

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
