Potential Trades [Warning: Reading this thread may self-destruct]

[Redleg 40,856]

Unlikely, Balme said last night that we agreed to terms with Geelong last week, so it's essentially always been Clark for their second rounder. The only change that happened when it went to a 3 way trade was Geelong offering Colonwood Varcoe instead of a second rounder.

If they coughed up their third rounder as well and we got the Frost trade across the line today I'd be ecstatic.

So would I.

What pick do we trade for that?

[Goodvibes 3,596]

There's definitely something wrong with the Trade Week structure if a mediocre player like Travis Varcoe can single handedly hold up proceedings. Is that what is happening here?

I am still confused why the Collingwood/Brisbane (working out the Beams trade) has impacted on the Clark, Lumumba and Varcoe bit... unless there are other minor trades/upgrade of picks involved. Why did it need to be a 5 way trade ?

Apparently because Collingwood demanded it, despite our vocal intentions to do the Clark deal seperately.

Does anyone else think we should make a play for Membry?

A play like that with pick 23 could force the Saints into the draft without many forward options (especially if Stanly is traded to the Cattery).

It may make them go for one of the big forwards in this draft (McCartin or Wright) leaving Brayshaw and Petracca?

[SaberFang 7,151]

Not

Not unless we have Frost locked up before the PSD, because they'd take him instead of Membrey with their first pick.

He's nominated St Kilda so he'll get there. No point in making a play for him.

How long does it take to make a deal with Collingwood? Probably as long as it takes the average Collingwood supporter to work out a basic math problem.

so... a deliberate ploy to hold up other trades in case they get left out of the loop.... then yeah it's a joke. the other clubs should be filthy with the pies.

Everyone getting a lesson in trade 101: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH COLLINGWOOD.

The amount of bridges they are burning by dragging out this process is staggering. Hopefully clubs don't have short memories with this stuff.

lol, our receptionist is a Collingwood supporter and 3 weeks ago I walked into the office and I hear.... "yeah, 25 + 46 = 86"

DONE DEAL: Mitch Clark to Geelong, Heritier Lumumba to Melbourne and Travis Varcoe to Collingwood mfcde.es/1o9EcBF

[SaberFang 7,151]

Great, day 8 of 8.5 and we've secured our second trade.

No closer on securing Frost though.

[ucanchoose 1,816]

Hurrah!!

[Tyson_Viney_Toumpas 269]

all 5 teams meeting at 11 30 at AFL house to complete the 5 way trade

Hope we snag a late pick on top of Lumumba to use on Frost

Wouldn't we just take him in the PSD?

[SaberFang 7,151]

All it takes is another club to offer him a better contract and offer GWS any draft pick and he could easily get nabbed from under our nose.

Doing nothing in the hope he'll just slide to the PSD has its fair share of risks.

Makes you wonder what all the fuss was about. Maybe Varcoe's first impression of FIGJAM was the hold-up.

I don't think anyone this late in trade will coff up a pick for him. Mahoney has even said we could take him in the PSD. Therefore, Saints are our only competitor.

[censored] you Clark!

I've never stopped loving someone so quickly. Hope you never experience any success you coward.

[ben russell 764]

Clark in a Geelong jumper makes me sick to my stomach.
