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.

Then use that pick on May?

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?

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

melbourne vs canberra vs tathra vs sydney

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.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
