Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

[toomanysquibs]

How many times has Essendon been rated as winning trade week? And yet... 6000+ days? Incredible.

All part of operation win the draft and get to 7k days.

And that he's allowed to play in long sleeves because his coach isn't a controlling weirdo. Let's hope Sheez has a burning desire to pull on the long sleeves also.

Seemed an odd focus for a coach to have, even when we were winning.

I see Joel Smith tested positive after pi$$ing warm directly after the rd23 game against us which they won by 20 or so points in which he kicked 2 decisive goals.

Very true. He did put the game out of reach for us and actually played quite well

Is anyone else coming back to this thread out of habit or is it just me?

Well, it’s only about 350 days ‘til the next Trade Week, Month, whatever. You can’t be too early to check in.

Carlton the big losers for the trade period you’d think, thought they were getting a bargain with Elijah Hollands as did everyone else . He was mentioned here a few times too .

Apparently they've been aware of it for a few weeks and traded for him anyway.

That would explain the lack of interest

Just a thought. With the trading out of next years picks to get the deals done leaving us with our first but not much else next year - are we positioning ourselves to be able to purchase picks with our strong $$ available.
Could be one part of the strategy expecting that to be available next year as well as targeting free agents.

Unless there’s Talls in the draft(not looking likely) we’re going to more interested in getting picks to trade with.

Bailey Smith will be on the tip of everyone’s tongues for 2024 and of course JUH, which at this stage looks like more of a pipe dream.

Getting in early for the 2024 trade period.

Yes totally agree. Not saying getting picks in just to go to the draft. Just to use and strengthen our hand in general to target trade or drafting.
At the moment our 2024 hand isn’t strong apart from our first.

With talk of pick purchasing taking place, things could change quickly.

How does pick purchasing work?

How does pick purchasing work?

You sell part of your own cap to buy a pick from an opponent

Melbourne trying to get ahead of us or to get our pick to grab Duursma

They think Duursma will be available at 4 while North hold 2 and 3?

 

[I got the outside word]

North out - 2, F1, pick 3
West Coast out - pick 1
Melbourne out - Pick 6 and 11

North in - pick 1, 6 and 11
West Coast in - 2 and North F1
Melbourne in - pick 3

No way we deal down.

Top 6 are clear (one being Walter)

Pick 6 and F1 being thrown around. Surprised if we took that but North might.

 

[Brucie Buffer]

For those that were melting saying our recruitment team always get bent over, looking at the deal Blues got for Hollands, well now you know why.
We aren’t always privy to the facts.

6 and 11 and we might be tempted depending on who is left at 4

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Only deal would be 4 for 6 and 11

Their future first is 15+

Depends who our target is, but I agree I don’t think we would take it.

We’re currently certain to get one of McKercher, Duursma, or Watson. None make it to 6, we’re not going to take Curtin with McCabe already locked in. Too similar.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Can't wait for mid season trading and the waiver wire !

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

Who is going to be selling a pick worth buying?

 

[I got the outside word]

If Melbourne want into the top 6 standout prospects so badly would they do 6, 11 and a F1 for 4? We can then on trade 11 for something into the future if a McCabe bid comes early. Otherwise I’d stay away from 11 annd trading with Melbourne all together if we have legit concerns of a bid coming.
