Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[Topiary]

Dimma isn't leaving

More likely to trade a mid.

 

[smish]

More likely to trade a mid.

Are we exploring our options Tops?

Can see Worpel to Geelong for their first

Twomey also saying we're prepared to trade our first this year

Before anyone loses their mind. That doesn't mean we don't get another pick back.

 

[Faraway Hawk]

As much as its a far fetch I hope for once we use the so called "war chest" and go for JUH!

 

[I got the outside word]

Before anyone loses their mind. That doesn't mean we don't get another pick back.

Or that we split the pick and also get something back.

I feel war chests should only be used on free agents

If we finish bottom 4 I would be very surprised if we offered our first in a trade for Baz. A future first much more likely.

In saying that, if we finish higher than that I can conceivably see us offering our first considering father sons/academy picks will bump back our pick a few spots.

If we finish bottom (not likely) or second bottom behind WCE (possible, but hopefully not) Dogs will have very little bargaining power.. not suggesting we threaten PSD but it leaves us in a good position to get him for a better deal..
I’d hate to give up a top four pick for a player coming off an ACL, even if there was a sweetener coming back.

Worpel aint going anywhere

 

[Gut Runner]

As much as I love Dimma if it meant the club got a great compo pick you'd have to let it happen.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Dimma's great, but no one is offering enough to trigger band 1, which is the only compo pick you'd consider losing him for.

 

[butlers hawks]

agree...however I would be surprised if he was paid enough to warrant a first round compo pick

Clubs seem to be paying overs to get F/A though.

If the formula worked for an after first round pick you do what Melbourne did with Frawley.

I'm not sure that it'll work out like that, and it's probably a 90% chance we go the rest of the year undefeated so only get pick 18.

Here comes Clarko!

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Here comes Clarko!

We will throw in DGB for Clarko as well.

 

[Sixpence]

They're paying overs for KPPs as there's a shortage of half decent ones getting around. No-one is going to throw money at a small defender, even a great one like Hardwick.

 

[hardway]

If he decided to become a free agent I would say the compo will be the same as what Port Adelaide received for Karl Amon. And if that the case we are best to keep him.

 

[cryptor]

Exactly it. The only clubs that would prioritise targeting a small defender are clubs that have all the main list needs covered (ie. midfielders, ruck, KPP). But they are also the clubs that have salary cap pressure. And even when they do find themselves with cap space they tend to just add depth to those main areas anyway.

 

[smish]

Split our first round pick this year:

• One of them goes to WB for Smith
• One of them goes to GEE for Holmes

2x outside class players (as we've officially acknowledged we need to address) for the price of one first round pick.

So much cash to spend, may as well use it to get players to the club.

 

[HedgeFund]

How much does a draft pick weigh?

400 ounces (12.4kgs)

By all reports that horse has bolted.
