We will absolutely get ripped a new one re: the terms of this trade if AVB decides to leave - pick 42 or similar will not result in us landing a player of commensurate quality/value.

Really hope he stays. Kent too (although it seems that trade's virtually done and dusted).

Yes to Vanders but no to Kent.

Vanders gives you tough unforgiving footy 100 per cent of the time and Kent only in bursts. 

What we learnt from the finals is that you need players and the team giving 100 per cent.

Sydney want picks for Blakey and I think we’ll hand over a couple of 2nd/3rd rounders for pick 12... and AVB of course.

Pick 12 + sweetener to GCS for May? 

Not what they have been carrying on about but better than other suitors can offer!

 

As an aside, if we were able to do that deal for May, it would strengthen our hand a little in the Hogan trade.  Freo think we are desperate for May and that we will cave on Hogan to get May deal done.  Do the May deal and Freo start to sweat a bit more!!  That will be fun to watch.

You watch. Someone like that Muppet Browne will report now that we're trying to get May via trading 2nd and 3rd rounders for a 1st rounder.

Very clever footwork if you ask me!

Is it my imagination or are the media talking down the trade value of our players out (Kent #72,  Hogan one 1st round) all the while talking up the value of other player trades eg Tim Kelly top 10 pick.  Lobbe a high 1st round pick etc etc.

Interesting if that did happen we would be running out of picks to use in the draft? We'd need to get some picks back somehow to fill the list spots?

We only need to bring in min 3 to our list. How many have we moved on and how many are we likely to pick up?

Potentially that and a sweetner might get us in with a chance if Jesse doesn’t end up in Perth.

The usefulness of mid-late picks for Sydney's academy options adds a whole new dimension to our trading, in that we might be able to claw a late second round pick all the way up to a late first round pick if the accumulated pieces are worth it for Sydney.

The AFL trade equivalent of uncrumbling a cookie.

Our young player are reaching their peak age in the next few years. It should offset the loss of VDB who is currently at his. A 25-26yo Petracca will be a sight to behold. Viney 24 right now, scary that he's getting better/stronger.

8 delistings or retirements so far I believe, with one of those from the rookie list. 4 players are currently on the trade table. We have 4 picks in this years draft. 

Edit: I believe the poster was proposing to give up two picks for one first round pick which would be used on a trade. That would leave us with 2 live picks.

We may get picks in return for Kent, Hogan and maybe Tyson so perhaps not an issue.

I hope that does it. P12.

That's about right for May, IMO.

Sydney now have pick 26 and 28. Is one of those picks fair compensation for losing a player we don't want to lose?

Expand  

I don't really know how this all works, but Jake Niall says that they were happy to swap 13 for 26 and 28 because those two picks give them the points they need to get Blakey as a father/son.

If that's true, then they might not be interested in trading them.

I am still wanting Vandenburg to stay. Really adds to our mix. Ready to deliver in 2019. But if he wants to go then

Vandenburg and MFC 3rd Rd pick 54 for

Swans 2nd Rd pick 33

that would be a horrible outcome. I'd prefer we try and get a ready made player back like a George Hewett

Swans just got Picks 26, 28 and 40 in the McGovern deal.

Perhaps they use one of those picks in the 20s for AVB?

Swans need points for Blakey, so won't be giving anything up this year I would have thought. Maybe it'll be a future pick, or player (Nic Newman now he's not going to Nth??), I'd say this will be a late trade so we'd have to wait and see what else they come up with first.

As @Red and Blue realist says Swans need points for Blakey and they get a 20% discount on the pick he is nominated at.

26 = 729, 28 = 677, 40 = 429

26 + 28 = 1406 which covers pick 6 = 1751 with the 20% discount, that should easily be enough.

They already had 33 and 38, so maybe one of them or 40 in play for VDB.  Well played by the Swans.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
