Traded Mega deal - 4 clubs, 2 players, 14 picks (inc #1, #2, #3, #8, #12 and 5 future picks)

There has been some discussion today about GWS giving North picks 3 & 12 for pick 1, but in this new "mega" deal we only get pick 3 off GWS for pick 1. If we are going to trade with GWS for pick 1, I would hope we do it separately as we are getting shafted royally here.

BTW I'm yet to be convinced trading pick 1 is a good idea, but the deals I've seen in this thread to date have done little to convince me.
Nah. Really . You wanna get reamed. Nah, yes, sure, maybe, I’m here
 
What are the other 12 clubs doing? Even if it's just shuffling sideways, get in on it and let's make some history.
Yes i would like to shuffle in your eyes on a chance encounter.x
 
I break that down to look like this:

Give up 2 for 8 & 12 ✖️
Swap 18 for 20 woopy *ing doo a two spot upgrade.
Swap Rioli for Bonner ✖️

Looks shitty to me.
Port leak a new deal to the media every day. By this time tomorrow the other clubs will be saying they are not interested.
Media games.

I’m thinking Brisbane get involved and put an embargo on bids for Ashcroft til Pick4. Then they can load up some extra currency into this trade and still be better off. Those extra points will help North and WC feel less done by.

GWS always seem to put more in too.

You know what, that’s exactly what they do, their media department makes them the most wanted and desirable in the AFL. Unfortunately it’s just fed by lies. That get twisted then eventually proven. Insecure, shit club xx
 
It’s interesting how all the journos reported hypotheticals seem to favour Port.

I wonder who is speaking to the media…

Might want to have a crack at getting both Busslinger and Ginbey given Freo is likely out of the first round. Fast tracks the rebuild with local talent as opposed to taking a punt on a flight risk.

Was my logic with 8 and 12. Decent chance at landing both!

We knocked back 8 +f1st earlier in the week. Now they want jhf + rat + rioli for the same amount.
Jhf wont get done if they need to RIP off another club to do it.
 
Why do people keep inventing trades where Port give up pick 8 and a future first and in return get whatever is floating around that day?

Pick 8 and a future first either gets you JHF from North or it doesn't (latter seems to be the consensus). First it was us, now GWS roped into the mix to add assets into the equation to benefit Port.

North
In: Pick 2, Pick 3, Future 1st (PA)
Out: Pick 1, Horne-Francis, Future 2nd
We are giving up two pick ones and a future 2nd (probably around 20-25) for 2, 3 and a future 1st (probably in the teens).

If Brady spends more than 2 seconds thinking about this deal before saying no, he shouldn't be in the job, this is terrible for us from every angle.

Why the **** do people still think we'd want Busslinger?

We have Barrass, Edwards & Bazzo already...

These massive deals tend to always have one or two parties screwed and I am not sure who is getting screwed...

I think Port can do deals for Rioli and Ratagolia separately because it doesn't seem they are coughing up enough to get Rioli from West Coast and move their pick from 8 to 2. It is going to require a massive premium, a premium they obviously aren't prepared to pay. I don't think we need pick 2 as part of the JHF trade, the only reason we have been dragged into this quagmire is because Port also wants Rioli.

No matter which way you try to massage it, Port don't have the picks even based on media expectation of what JHF is worth and tbh, Port wouldn't sell a player they rated as highly as they do JHF for pick 8 and a future first from a team that expects to play finals if the shoe was on the other foot.

I understand the angst in giving up something of massive value, it is a huge gamble. It is why these type of trades aren't common, especially for contracted players.

It doesn't matter how many clubs you add to the mix, the major problem is what Port is willing to put in. What they are attempting to do is spread the pain of taking unders across multiple clubs and none of them have any reason to do it.

We can do the trade with GWS, if we want, without involving anyone else. I think the only sticking point is if we want to or not, not that we can't find the right balance of picks to get it done.
 
Best I can do, North the hardest done by here but they get to death ride Port like nothing else which is fun

Port
In: Ratugolea, JHF, Rioli, F2 (Geelongs)
Out: 8, F1, F2, 33, 43

WC
In: 8, 12, 25
Out: 2, Rioli,

Geelong
In: 21
Out: 25, Ratugolea

North
In: 2, 3, F1 (Port), F2 (Port) 33
Out: 1, JHF, F2

GWS
In: 1, F2 (North),
Out: 3, 12, 18, 43

Brisbane
In: 18, 44
Out: F2 (Geelong), 21

This is as close as I can get
Port: Literally cant give up anymore I dont think so that's straight forward. This is capping em out
WC: Rioli is not worth 25, but they need more than 8 and 12 for 2, so it shakes out
Cats: I dont think Pies accept 25 for Henry so this makes it work for them
North: Getting dudded the most but man, the ultimate death ride next year
GWS: 3 and 12 is the cost for 1, if North finish last again, that F2 is worth 18 this year and then some, 43 just ices it.
Bris: Have the two firsts they need for Dunkley and some more points

Absolute killer for North

2 No.1 picks downgraded for a possible 5 pick 2nd round upgrade and junk picks.
 
Haha, if I lay it out
3 and the Port F1 > pick 1
2 + whatever value is left over from above = JHF
F2 -> F2, 33 is about right, if slight unders

It's not great, but I dont think it's as far off as you think. I'd rather Ports F1 than 12 in this draft and apparently GWS are basically trading 3 and 12 for 1
 
There's no way 8 and 12 is worth pick 2. For WC to offload pick 2 they'd need at least 8, 12 and another pick around 15-20. Then add Rioli and that's a mid 2nd rounder.
Depends what WC wants and values and maybe everyone understands pick 8 and 12 in this draft is better to have than pick 2? I did add in some extra value because Junior really should be worth a pick above 30 (pick above 40 if it was me but Port seem to be handing out a ridiculous contract so they must like him.

One thing's for sure, if the big trade goes down, some supporters are going to be shitty about it

Doesn't matter what you think of Rioli pick 2 itself is worth 2 mid first rd picks and a late first rd pick just by itself
