Zero. Just my own gut feel.

The smoke is growing in my eyes and Christ I hope I'm wrong. 

My "gut" is the opposite to you and the @martins of this world. 

Other than Balic, which is a foregone conclusion, I don't see anything else happening this trade period.  And certainly nothing concerning Hogan.

    So we lose Hogan and Watts in these scenarios suggested-

    I miss the ludicrous / fun rumours that sound very posted. But too many times people bag them out so we don't get them any more  and this thread is less for it.

    MFC has demanded at least pick 2 and Freos first rounder next year for Jesse. This is why Freo offered Weller and 5, for The Suns' pick 2. This will then be sent to us for Hogan along with their 2018 1st pick. Freo were asked for their first rounder and Neale, but he refused to be traded, so we are in for 2 x first rounders instead, with this years being upgraded so we can get our intended target in the draft. The Lever trade has been used as the basis of our demand for 2 x first rounders, with nothing more than a fourth rounder going back to Freo.

    Deal essentially done and will be announced Wednesday.

     

    What reputation?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    ( None of that is true, but someone needed to take the focus of the Jack Watts thread. My reputation is taking one for the team)

    Which bird?  Crow? Magpie? Swan?

    I'm surprised one of us hasn't created a new account and trolled something along these lines. Especially, ETthetradebreaker. That guy's become reputable.

    A tall forward bird, I think called Cook, oo? 

    They got us some time back.

    C'mon everyone, i showed you all how to post a decent rumor yesterday, but this thread is STILL rubbish.

    Dont force me to make more stuff up.

     

    ( P.S. i have some genuine info on the Hogan situation if anyone is interested )

  • Quote

    Last year there were 39 trades.

    So far this year there has been 5, meaning 34 trades must occur in the next 50 hours.

    Can't see this year getting close to last year.

    contrary to the collective wisdom on the Jake Lever where the "experts" kept telling everyone that a player beats a speculative draft pick any day of the week.

    I'd agree with 'the collective wisdom' then, but I'd also say it completely depends where your list demographic sits. Our list is at a point where it needs to add some final best 22 contributors for 2018, not 2022. 

    It's pretty rare that someone comes in like Oliver or Hogan and becomes a pivotal player for their team from almost day dot. 

    In order to keep our young gun group together, we need to demonstrate to them that we're ready to attack that flag next year.

    some much older lists needing to get some kiddies in..some lists struggling as past picks unable to muster the coin needed to make the trades worth.

    A few chooks coming home to roost.  Combine that with some clubs better at trading than others...some clubs trade..some really dont ( much ).

    There's , as usual ,  one or three trades holding up everything also.

    it's a marketplace...some days better than others

    ok... but if that were true you would still expect the number of trades to remain relatively constant across the board in the sense that at any one time there will always be teams at the various evolutionary points.

    Still does not really explain the absence of trades this year. Also if you accept that this year is a "shallow" draft you would expect a higher number of trades as teams try to compensate for the lack of talent in the second round etc

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
