Traded Liam Ryan [Traded with 2027 R3 to St Kilda for 2026 R2 (Stk)]

[Obeanie1]

What First?
We won't have a first this year.
No one is going to swap a young developing player for a 30 yr old small forward.

29 yr old medium forward.

 

[billings2paddy]

What will Marshall likely be traded for?

Who says he will be traded?

 

[billings2paddy]

29 yr old medium forward.

30 yr old in 2026 small forward

 

[Obeanie1]

Neither have any of the eagles young guns apart from harley.

Relevance to this discussion?

We are comparing Ryan and Collards value aren't we?

 

[Obeanie1]

Who says he will be traded?

Will Marshall be happy playing VFĹ.

Saints just booted him down the ruck pecking order did they not?

He wont be playing VFL

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Who says he will be traded?

Cats have offered 6 yrs at $850 to $900k per year… why would he stay?

We have been playing 2 rucks all year
Heath would be a good get for the eagles

 

[BrutThough]

Cats have offered 6 yrs at $850 to $900k per year… why would he stay?

Because he's contracted? It doesnt matter what Geelong offer if Ross and SOS say no.

 

[eaglevision]

How many player for player trades happen these days?

Now, how many of those limited trades are promising young player for aging player trades?

In theory the chance of a player wanting to go to a specific different club is 1 in 18. The chance of another player also wanting to go the other way is theoretically 1 in 18. So the chance of both happening is 1 in 324 or 0.30% of trades.

A recent example would be the Duursma/Zerk-Thatcher trade.

The Chad Wingard trade sent a promising young Ryan Burton the other way.

We’ve done direct a player swap with no picks involved because we’re not dickheads at the trade table.

There are plenty of examples, if you request one of our contracted players to suit your list needs, expect us to do the same.

Collard won't be traded for a 30yr old small forward

He is still contracted for two more years so it’s not entirely his choice is it

Holding him to his contract while you pay a squillion for someone to come in and take over his role will end well.

So it's incredibly rare. I wouldn't get your hopes up on it happening.

A 30yr old small forward isn't that high on anyone's list needs.
Wingard was 24 when he was traded not Ryan's age.

It's a good problem to have

He’s 28. If you’re going to wade in at least know what you’re talking about. An offer of 3+1 years to a contracted player that has interest from 3 other clubs would suggest a small forward is high on clubs wish lists.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

6 years is a bit outlandish. Where did that info drop?

How old is he in 2026?
What 2 other clubs?

Sorry, are we now referencing a player’s age in a trade at the end of the following season when they are two years older than present? So Jack Steele is 31 right?

 

[EBERT THE KING]

Collingwood are interested. Especially considering the question marks around Elliott and Hill being there next year.

 

[Quinten Kennedy]

Collard won't be traded for a 30yr old small forward

What about a 28 year old one?

 

[Obeanie1]

30 yr old in 2026 small forward

Ryan doesn't turn 30 until after the 2026 season finishes.

He is 29 during the entire 2026 season.

Ryan is 28, he’ll be 29 for the entire 2026 AFL season. Get the facts right before contributing to the discussion.

Better tell that to your coach and list manager, they’re chasing a contracted Liam Ryan and have put a substantial offer to him.
