Super Mega Didak Trade Thread - all hypothetical dealings here

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

nathan brown was traded for picks 6 and 20

Cheers for that. He was a similar player traded at a similar age, although obviously without the same bad rep. Also, given clubs are going to (incorrectly) overvalue picks this year, I'd say fair value would be something like Didak for pick 8-10.

Having said that, I'd prefer we move him, along with another asset if needed, for a proven young inside mid.

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

For those here mentioning Boak and Salopek I think it would be fair to say that the opinion of the Port board would be that Boak is set to be a better player than Didak and is five and a half years younger ie has roughly half a career longer to go than Didak.

Didak as a player would be more highly regarded I think than Salopek however Sal does not have Didaks discipline issues which weighs in the balance.

Certainly those I've seen suggesting that Port give up Boak and a pick for Didak are well off the mark IMO and given the great lengths Port have gone to ensure Boak is happy at Alberton I just can't see the club contemplating a straight swap either.

I cant see Didak being at Port next year for several reasons

1. You guys owe Port for the stubborness they showed when Nick Stevens wanted to go to Collingwood. There are plenty of clubs who will want him, screw those maggots.

2. He is worth a top 10 pick, no doubt. Port will have the number 3 pick which I dont think they will give up for him in this draft, probably fair enough aswell.

3. Port will not give up Salopek or Boak. Any Id rather catch the clap than have Pearce.

4.Port cant put a huge number on his head and get him to go in the PSD. You have him and Port by the balls.

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

I don't rate Rosa that highly either. But your club does and has been chasing him for a while and wanted to trade Tarrant for him but the eagles said no. Tarrant is useless and we knew it.

Eagles offered 1st round pick (pick 16 overall) + a player, I think may have been Staker. We wanted that additional player to be Rosa.

So you offered a 1st round pick and a fringe 22 player for someone you thought was useless.

Didak will not be traded unless a good deal is received. Pick 5 to 8 or gun youngster.

Given carlton & Essendon will have around those picks, I doubt we'd trade him to either of them. We know he can play and would be wise to not let him come back to bite us on the backside.

If trade were to be done, I think the most likely could be a Crows 1st rounder. Depends on where they finish whether we'd take it.

Port don't have the picks to trade to us or a player they'd be willing to part with. (ie. Wont trade pick 3/4 or Travis Boak-no thanks to Salopek)

If Port were willing to offer Boak v Didak, I'd be prepared to through in a sweetner, not our 1st round pick though.

The Crows will not try and get Didak, bank on it! Id love him at the club but Neil Craig is all about recruiting Rhodes Scholars, Rocket scientists and genius's who have never had a school detention.

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

Assuming Didak ( for a 1st round draft pick) gets boned, do we keep both our 1st round draft picks, and rebuild, or do we fo for a quick fix in either a Brown or Kerr

Not Brown. If it were, say, Port's first rounder at #4 or thereabouts... you'd be hard pressed to pass up Michael Hurley at that spot and our backline would be sorted for the next 5-10 years. Imagine:

FB: Hurley
HB: Brown
C: Pendles
HF: Cloke
FF: Dawes

How about Didak +1st for Boak/Salepak +1st?

That would be around the mark for me.

hahahahaha

I thought (rumour again) the Crows offered up pick 10 last year for Didak??

I would much rather deal with the Crows then either Port or West Coast.

Port for the Nick Stevens affair and West Coast for the Chri$ Judd call. Although I do understand and respect West Coasts motives after the Fraser Gehrig episode. Coaster need to move on and do what is best for there club. They don't want the type of person Didak is off the field. I think this has now put a big dampener on own prospects of getting Kerr.

Yeah rumour has it you are correct. I love the crap on the Power board. Some potential trades include Robbie Gray and a 2nd round pick or swapping first round picks BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Didak might be naughty, but lets be honest, the guy would be leading your B&F and will not be traded lightly. My bet, Sydney!

If they decide that Didak will be traded, I don't care where he goes to be honest. And I don't think the club will either. It will be a matter of getting the maximum possible compensation for him. If it's Essendon that offers what we consider to be the most reasonable offer, its off to Bomberland as far as I'm concerned. If nobody offers anything decent, I certainly won't be worried if he stays.

If he must go, its a matter of making the best of a bad situation. Might be a busy trade week for Walsh & co. Lets hope they get it right.

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

didak plus one of our early picks plus possibly a late one for jb

 

[boncer34]

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

Hey guys, hope you dont mind me putting my 2 cents in on this topic.

To be realistic before this incident Didak would've commanded at least a mid to late first round pick PLUS a decent player. To accept anything less would've been a case of highway robbery. Now hes realistically only worth one or the other. If its true that your going to offload him ie. he's days at the club are certainly over then another club isn't going to pay top price for him.
On the other hand if his future is unsure ie. he may stay at the club then you'd be well within your rights to command top price.

There's a fatal flaw in your reasoning, as well thought out as it is - that we actually want Didak for the price that Collingwood will invariably ask. We'll take him, but not for any price. And I wouldn't expect Collingwood to accept what we are prepared to offer unless they really wanted him gone.

Oh, and the swapping first round picks was from one of YOUR members, by the way (Campbell's Chunky)...loser!

 

[Azdrubal]

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

Not quite a factual statement. As Didak is contracted HE must agree to where he is to go. If Collingwood sack him they are in breach of contract as the new contract supersedes the old one that had the "behaviour component" in it. I think Didak has your club over the barrel!

Contract law 101 mate. Irrespective of the written terms, Didak has likely breached the new contract; my guess, the often-implied term of trust and confidence. Not through his involvement with H Shaw's pissy driving - but lying about it all!

Bad deal all round. We get screwed and Geelong breach the salary cap

 

[GreekLunatic]

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

Why should we deal with Port didnt they screw us with Nick Stevens. Stuff them next. I think we willl keep Didak. They wont pay top dollar that the thing.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

Why should we deal with Port didnt they screw us with Nick Stevens.

Because then we'd be as small minded and petty as them. We should get the best deal available for Didak, and the best way to do that is to create a bidding war. Its also the best way to screw Port - make them pay top dollar and some more.

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

[omen666]

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

Keep Didak for a year then trade him to GC17 for picks he deserves to play on a team who won't do much

 

[relapse]

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

I wouldn't like to see Did's traded, however a straight swap for Adelaides first rounder, around the 10 mark, would be sufficient.

We could than pick up Ziebell with our first pick and Sidebottom with our pick from the trade which would give us a promising midfield for years to come

The Crows will definately want Didak, but the issue comes with the cost. As people have pointed out considering the strength of the draft and imminent entry of the GC I cant see many clubs parting with their first round pick.

The Crows have a history for being fair at trade time, but I couldnt see them offering anything other than their 2nd round pick and a player like Brent Reilly. Didak in most years would be worth a first round pick, but this years draft considering the GC and the quality of the draft no club would be willing to part with a first round pick.

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

The funniest thing about all these "Supporter-In-Name-Only" types, eager to dish off one of our best players at the height of hysteria following a complete nothing incident is that, if Didak were to be kept, as he should, they would be the first to cheer him on, waving their fickle, flabby arms high in the air, after he kicks a bag in a preliminary final...


Side by side we stick together (lest we allow the media to drive a wedge between us).

 

[BEEG]

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

There is NOWAY that we wont get a 1st Round pick and something else for Didak watch all the clubs say nah not interested and then when it hits Trade Time watch them all in a frenzy trying to strike a deal Port and Adelaide will fight each other to death for Didak

Port knows not to bother unless they have a 1st Round pick on the table because if they dont we arnt going to play fair we would rather give him to Adelaide for nothing then have Port get a good deal for them ( Umm Stevens Anyone)

Didak isnt a player that grows on tree's theres 2 other blokes in the league that can play like him one is in his 30's Akermanis and the other could run someone down out front of Skilled Stadium and still stay at Geelong and be cheered Steve Johnson

So every Collingwood supporter who has had a gutful of Didak and wants to see him gone, is a hypocrite and a 'supporter in name only"?

With this sort of omnipotent wisdom, shouldn't you be adorning a cross somewhere?

 

[Lazyboy]

Re: What would Didak be worth as trade bait?

Like above there is only 2 more Didaks, Aker and Steve J.

Dids being 25 has 5+ years left and is easily worth top 10 and 2nd rounder. Easily.
