List Mgmt. 2018 Draft, Free Agency & Trade Hypotheticals thread, Part II: Nothing happened!

[Olian]

194 points is nothing why didn't we do the Eagles deal 20 and 22 for 13.

Maybe Eagles don’t want to do that?

 

[TheMase]

194 points is nothing why didn't we do the Eagles deal 20 and 22 for 13.

Given this is an increase of +545 West Coast may have wanted something back that diluted the return.

Who knows. Maybe not interested.

 

[TheMase]

So pick 13 is now the deal breaker in the Kelly trade and the McGovern trade.

Its nice to feel wanted.

lol

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

That effectively rules us out chasing anyone of significance.

 

[Number37]

No idea. Maybe West Coast would want something back and we won't give it for instance.

Maybe talk will force someone else's hand. Maybe we get something else out of it somewhere in the trade.
We will see I suppose.

Could we be doing Carlton a solid?

Weitering?
Murphy?
Cripps?

 

[elpirate]

Nick Blakey, likely top 7.

Yes we want points for Nick Blakey as an academy pick. He may go somewhere in the top 10.

Cheers guys. Makes sense now.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Why ****ing help Carlton anyways club that tried to cease our existence.

 

[Opts]

So Langdon was a gws today?

Not sure why GWS would be looking to bring in a $500k player when they're letting some of their guns go due to their salary cap squeeze.

 

[The King!]

Points trading is not very sexy, hope we get more than Blakey

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

So that leaves us with 26,28,33,38,67 pending the Hanners and Rohan trades.

 

[The King!]

Pick 13 seems the most coveted in the draft

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

We have loaded up for Blakey.

 

[Edmund hunt]

So i guess Scully is out of the picture if we are getting rid of our first round pick.

 

[TheMase]

Could we be doing Carlton a solid?

Weitering?
Murphy?
Cripps?

Could be a different pick trade too (just musing here)

Adelaide
OUT: McGovern, Pick 20
IN: PICK 13, PICK 28

Carlton:
OUT: Pick 26, Pick 28
IN: McGovern

Sydney:
OUT: Pick 13
IN: Pick 20, Pick 26

+429

(edit: you could flip 26 and 28 for +353)

 

[The King!]

We have loaded up for Blakey.

Hmm hope we Aren’t overeating the list internally

 

[Wolfgang West]

Nick Blakey, likely top 7.

Hope he is the gun people think he will be because tbh I'm sick of being the most charitable, christian, caring, giving,obliging hospitable club in the competition. These sacrifices need to start paying off.

 

[Olian]

Pick 13 seems the most coveted in the draft

We’d have blown it. We should stick to the rookie draft.

 

[Cadsky]

I'll be so pissed if that's all we get. Why do we keep giving up so much for so little return all the time? We must be the laughing stock of the AFL when it comes to trades.

Can imagine convos going like this.

Club a: we demand a top ten pick
Club b: sorry guys, were fresh out of those
Club a: just ask Sydney
Club b: hey swans, so we need your top pick this year to improve our list while you go backwards.
Sydney: sure thing, would you like fries with that?

 

[Number37]

Sydney: sure thing, would you like fries with that?

Gold.

 

[BloodySwan]

Why would we give 26 and 28 to Carlton for 13 when other clubs could offer a better deal?

That almost allows us to match a bid at 5 with those two alone. I guess we're just playing it safe, maybe no one else has made an offer?

 

[The King!]

Academy rules are bs anyway

 

[The King!]

Hope he is the gun people think he will be because tbh I'm sick of being the most charitable, christian, caring, giving,obliging hospitable club in the competition. These sacrifices need to start paying off.

Could of sworn buddy came to Sydney to play in premierships..

 

[Punts]

Pick 14 was a joke for Mitchell

This seems not far off

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Club a: we demand a top ten pick
Club b: sorry guys, were fresh out of those
Club a: just ask Sydney
Club b: hey swans, so we need your top pick this year to improve our list while you go backwards.
Sydney: sure thing, would you like fries with that?

Sounds eerily similar to the movie ‘Draft Day’...I hope the ending is the same!

Academy selections especially players that are expected to be bidded on early really hamper what we can do.

I dont know if its the right strategy but we put all our eggs in one basket Mills and now Blakey.
