Random Task

Is that allowed? I thought there were still rules in place for future pick trading. Unless they've changed it recently it was that if you traded a f1 then you couldn't trade any other picks in subsequent rounds. Conversely, if you traded a f2, you could trade as much as you like in later future rounds but you couldn't trade your f1 unless you replaced it with another f1.

Kako is an Essendon NGA player. Given they've been desperate for a high quality small forward I can't see them not matching a bid.

Do we have a top 10 or expanded placement list?

Like most years, we are seemingly on the hunt to have a better draft hand this year and have been linked to Gold Coasts pick 13 and Lions pick 20. With FA compo for some players released today, we potentially have other picks to target. However this has also strengthened our rivals hand to upgrade their picks if they decide to do that. GWS now have 15, 16 (perryman) and 21 (Cumming). Saints have picks 7, 8 (battle) Freo have picks 10, 11, 18 Swans have picks 19, 22 We have currently picks 5, 40, 48, 53 and 64. Pick 25 (now 28) was suggested as a possible trade outcome for ANB but Peatling nominating crows perhaps complicates that. We have allegedly already put our future 1st on offer for the Suns pick 13. Can we can get another top 20 pick by moving on our later picks to Brisbane? A draft hand of 5, 13 and 20 would be an amazing outcome in a strong even draft.

I'd be surprised if he lasted that long.

Maybe clarry will get on the beers tonight to force a trade

Don't panic, this is here to serve as a distraction to all the other bs going on. Great first year by our young winger.

Does this put pick 25 in jeopardy?

Indeed. Just annoying our players seemingly want to go to clubs with the least draft capital.

Come on Saints, Adelaide...

We'll be lucky to get a first rounder of any kind.

This should be an annual thread

Dear diary, mood... apathetic.

Was there an official decision today?

We'll probably get a 2nd rounder and still pay 300k-500k of his salary for the next 6 years.

Reid, Ginbey, Hewett (if he can get on the park consistently), Draper and Allen have the potential makings of a damn good midfield in 3-5 years.

Will he last to 13? They might try and use future picks for Baker instead of the Barrass pick.

Plus you can earn up to 5% more BTC on eligible trades. You heard it here second.

I don't, it's an educated guess on a hypothetical scenario. But consider the perceived trade value here at peak Oliver and current Oliver. 2022 Oliver: Age 25, 3x AA (selected 2022), 4xBnF (won 2nd yr in a row), 2nd x AFLCA (won 2nd yr in a row). What would clubs have to pay for him here? Then consider 2024 Oliver: multiple off field scandals, major drop off in form for well over a year, 1mil + 6yr risk a club would be taking on. Given there are articles suggesting clubs think they can get him on the cheap (take with a grain of salt), then I don't think its unreasonable to suggest that selling Oliver now would be right at he's lowest value. Guess he can always go further off the rails, have further injury interruptions and form issues next year and therefore would be lower value next year. As for Petracca, I only really included him as the only clubs that could satisfy our demands would be Richmond, West Coast or North and he's not going to consider any of them. If he goes to Carlton then we are going to get unders for him. Get Oliver back into AA form and 12 months for clubs to get the assets required for Petracca and we'll get a much better trade outcome next year. That is if they want out and we decide to move them on. Personally, I hope we keep them both for the entirety of their contract with both player returning to their best footy. All my subjective opinion of course.

Mfc want to add midfielders, I can't see a scenario that would convince us to trade away our prime ball winner. If anything, we keep Petracca and Oliver for next year and hope they hit their best form. If (and its a big if here) they're still unhappy and we're not making finals, then I'd be open to maximising our draft capital and bringing in multiple first rounders prior to tassie coming in. This year would be selling low for both.

Rookie me have started putting up compilation videos of some draftees.

Lol, could you imagine if it was just an elaborate troll by clarry.
