Pick 4 in 2020 and yet to extend.
Both WA club's will be keen.
If he asks for a trade home what is he worth. What gets it done?
I am going to create a voodoo doll just for you.
Let's start a thread for all West Aussies shall we.
Just as likely to want to go to Collingwood as either WA club. Having said that, it’s unlikely he leaves the Swans unless he’s had a massive change of heart in the last 12 months.
That's possible.
But what would it lukely take to trade for him if he asked?
Given how well he played as a first year key forwards (look at the records of the best key forwards and see how they did in their first year) I would think a minimum of two top 10 draft picks.
Can guarantee now you wouldn't get that for him a in trade without sending something back alongside McDonald.
We paid pick 4 for him and in his first year he has shown he is more than worth that. With 2 years development into him and him definitely looking like a great KPF in the making you can be damn sure he is worth two stand alone picks in the top 10.
Thats great mate but there is no precedent for that type of trade. Hogan is the last comparable trade and he went for 6 and 23.
He'd have to kick 40+ goals in the year to come close to going for two top 10 picks. It just doesnt happen. Cerra had runs on the board and we got less than the pick we used.Yes, and Hogan has significant question marks over him before that trade.

Players just immediately lose value once they're selected in the draft, the pick could be anything but the player you trade for is who you're getting, I think clubs like that 'flexibility' to choose if that makes sense? Weird concept to me personally, but it's the tale as old as timeHe'd have to kick 40+ goals in the year to come close to going for two top 10 picks. It just doesnt happen.

You’re literally suggesting the second most expensive trade in history for a kid who’s played a handful of games.We paid pick 4 for him and in his first year he has shown he is more than worth that.

Yeah, honestly, since following draft and trade more, I've only become more and more confused at what players are worth because its all over the place. I think leverage and contract status has way way too much impact on what a players worth at trade, probably because their are too many ways to pick-up a playerPlayers just immediately lose value once they're selected in the draft, the pick could be anything but the player you trade for is who you're getting, I think clubs like that 'flexibility' to choose if that makes sense?

I try to be as polite as possible because I've been adamant on things before and it's blown up in my face. Clubs do stupid s**t, but yes, if McDonald did ask for a trade, there is close to no chance he goes for two top 10 picks IMO. A 20 year old KPF kicking 40+ goals would be pretty ******* valuable though...Why would any club pay two top 10 picks? Maybe for a 26 year old Buddy Franklin, a proven mega star.
McDonald isnt close to that level.
And if either WA club had a top 10 pick they could just draft him with one top 10 pick. Massive risk an interstate club using a top 10 pick on a player who wants to live 8n WA.
So there are limits to what any team will pay for any player if they already hold a top 10 pick.

Oh dear, we have to argue Cerra is pretty special again.Cerra is a midfielder, and hardly one that had really set the world on fire. Midfielders are easy to get, Key Forwards are not.
No. Jeremy Cameron might have gotten that sort of trade after his second year where he kicked 60 goals, but that’s hypothetical. McDonald would have to at least equal that type of year to be in the frame for that sort of currency. In a year where the draft is stacked with KPP talent, clubs will likely be more inclined to draft 2 tall prospects than take 1 for such overs if they hold 2 top 10’s.If that was true J Kennedy would have been a dirrect swap for Judd.
But he wasn't.
Is there an example of a 20 year old ex top 5 pick ever being traded for two top 10 picks?
