List of players recently traded for at least a 1st rounder

Chad Wingard
Lachie Neale
Jesse Hogan
Steven May
Dylan Shiel
Dayne Beams
Rory Lobb
Jake Lever
Bryce Gibbs
Charlie Cameron
Lachie Weller

Players traded for less than a 1st rounder

Will Setterfield
Marcus Adams
Dan Hannebery
Nic Newman
Adam Saad
Jack Watts
Nathan Wilson
Jake Stringer
Matt Kennedy


After you've looked at both lists, take 10 seconds to think about which group you would place Jack Martin in.....That's probably 9.5 seconds more than you need.....

I worry that GCS are basing all their player trade valuations on the Lachie Weller trade

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

Only problem with Sloane is he is now the sole captain of the crows since walker stepped down.
Would be huge if he left, like close up shop

Makes it even more important we nab him then

 

[Jabba73]

I was blind.

One-trick pony, I said. Was useless beyond contested marking, I said.

Then he slimmed down and 2019 happened.

Now I feel like the guy that paid for a pizza night in bitcoin back in 2010....

That was you? Thanks.

Used it to pay cash for a Condo overlooking Sydney Harbour 18 months ago.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

True - but if you were Papley would you rather play at Carlton (everyone wants to go there) or * (everyone is leaving)????

Papley will get himself to Carlton.

****ing Oath

 

[HBF]

Ok thats pretty big...

 

[Heres Waite]

If I was a betting man, I'd be betting that we end up with Papley, Martin and Betts at the end of trade period ... and I'll be over the moon with that haul!!

Nope. I want more. MORE !!!!!

 

[Funk]

OK, well according to RP's latest rumour it's not Gaff.

When I ask myself who is a gun midfielder who would want to come to Carlton?

There is one obvious answer:

Not previously mentioned
Vic boy
Recently had kids (likely to rejoin family)
Club in turmoil
Knows players/coaches at Carlton

And the winner is:

RORY SLOANE

No.

ITK's have got my hopes up now.

If the trade period ends and we don't have all of Grundy, Gaff, Papley, Crouch and Betts then I will be very unsatisfied.

If we don't trade in an AA on every line I'm microwaving my membership /s

Does he wear #7?

Does he have 7 kids?

Needs more research this.

It's Rhys Mathieson.

This is what I reckon that happens as well.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Am i crazy or is #9 and #41 for Papley and #25 just about a perfect trade for us?

 

[The Ian PrenderCast]

It's a fine line you walk there - I'd recommend avoiding anything close to accusing ITK posters of making information up or attention seeking. There may be cases where you're right, but the risk is that you offend someone with a genuine link to reliable information and the board suffers as a result. If you don't like the quality of information being shared, don't partake in the discussion.

So because I dare question the fidelity of trade week rumours on Big Footy those "ITK's" might take their bat, ball and run home?

It is what it is, as they say in the classics. People like attention and one way of getting their 15 seconds worth is to pop up and say, "I know something you don't" and watch the ensuing feeding frenzy to find out what it is.

The best thing about the more reliable posters is that they tend to bring information to the table with a little more detail. Names, for one. That's usually a good clue as to whether they're worth listening to.

If that’s a clue are you implying Clayton Oliver or Oliver Wines?

Hmm, I think he is now a true and loyal Crow. I can't see him abandoning that club in its time of need.

There's your first mistake. Questioning rumours. They're rumours mate...

That would be amazing especially if we can get Martin for that 25 but not sure Sydney will do it

Given it is extremely rare to do more than 2 or 3 trades in player trade period it is fairly solid attempt.
People get fanciful and unrealistic when expect so much more.

We've seen our share of attention-seeking twits - they usually end up on Twitter instead.

Just saying that just because someone won't put a name on the table, it doesn't mean they're deliberately withholding information because of some deep-seated need to create drama. Sometimes they haven't been given a name, sometimes they have a name but they don't want to upset their source by divulging it.

I'm OK with questioning new ITK's to a degree, I've done it myself. I'm also completely OK with taking them with an unhealthy helping of salt.

Just saying, be mindful how you do it, and if it's necessary to do it at all at this time of year. Don't **** it up for everyone else.

 

[KoteX]

Earlier in the year Gold Coast offered pick 1 for Treloar.

Pies said yes, Treloar said no.

Quality midfielder now reportedly “approaches” Carlton via his management.

Any correlation? Number 7

 

[Manhattanite]

My guess is Swans will end up paying 5 + 25 for Daniher or 9 + 25. I don’t think they will end up paying both first rounders as the Bombers seem keen to let go of Daniher.

So I don’t think 25 is on the table.

We've got 9 & 43.

The trade you proposed values Papley at #16, which is probably slightly unders IMO. Not by much though.

 

[T2B_]

Pity Sydney don't have Reid in charge, SOS would get Papley for pick #9 with Sydney throwing in Isaac Heeney as steak knives.
