Pick 2 + F2 for Essendon's picks 5 & 6?

How bad do they want duursma or CDT?

I'd do that for CDT but not Duursma

 

[Elite Pete]

Anyone want the first Vic media be positive about the Eagles list build watch Trading Day on Fox Footy.

Jon Ralph said 34 won’t be used for Young in a trade as well.

Hough got his first mention over east as well

 

[Obeanie1]

Jo Bailey (and most of our mums if you were a teen in the 90's) might disagree with that given SOS ran around for them.

Kouta did his bit too.

Moreso with gurnsey / shirt off.

 

[Keys]

Among other tidbits, Ralph saying we won’t be using 33 (now 34) for Young but have a plan to bring him in

 

[TheBudgies]

Maybe I am dumb, but if Richmond bid on the Suns kids that's 4,140 points (or 3,726 after the 10% discount).
Suns pick 6 is now shuffled back to pick 8 (Oscar compo plus the bid moves them down).
Eagles pick 12 will be pick 14 when the bid comes (at best).
We can assume pick 33 will stay at 33 after bids/matches.

Pick 8 = 1,443
Pick 14 = 1,024
Pick 33 = 382
Total = 2,849 points.

This is a mile off matching the required 3,726 points if the Tigers bid on both Suns boys.

Happy for someone to rebut my workings but people are overestimating the Suns position on points IMO.

The picks dont drop back until the pick is made, pick isnt made until they've matched or chosen not to. So really doesnt work if you do them together. Need to do each individually as picks get 'consumed' in the matching process and so they some picks end up being more valuable.

Eg. If you use 12 and 13 to match pick 14 actually becomes pick 13 and so is worth more points than if it was all done together.

 

[Hasselhough]

Negative Nellie Mode Jokes on them though as we are totally wasting that Pick 2 or at the very least splitting it for a shot at more middling prospects in the Bo Allan mould..

Bo allans ?

PSD?

Clarke to react to criticism that he was too chummy with Richmond last year by going full scorched earth on them over Young?

Ive always liked that Ralph guy

 

[Goroyals22]

Well trade radio have already announced us as wooden spooners for next year and wondering if we get comp next year… there is just no way with a good injury run we win one game or finish last.

Bucket of money / PSD.

Had to be west coast getting the band 1 pick 2 compo for the AFL to decide the system is a rort.

Almost 40 years of propping the competition up and when we run into strife they balk at the system.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

one of the easiest and most obvious ways is on draft night, 13 + 34 + 38 for 7 (and ask for a F3 back)

View attachment 2450011

Think it will be this without any extras coming back, and I would gladly shake hands on that deal today to hit the draft with 1,2,7, plus some other back end picks for the necessary matching, thanks for coming, Eags for the flag.

They’ll be complaining when we win the premiership next season.

 

[Goroyals22]

Yeah Oscar, I always work for the company who offers me the least amount of money, mans gotta have ethics.

If I could get well paid for doing nothing against work hard for a bit more…. Always take the less money

F*ck ay, I guess a lot of those wins could hinge on the availability of your mate "Junk Time".

Sucks to be you.

Who is the ruck who Ralph reckons we after?

 

[Obeanie1]

I think Obeanie was proposing trading 12 (now 13) and 33 for 6.

That would leave Gold Coast with 13, 15, 18 in the first round. Along with 33 and 35 in the second. Leaving aside pick 8 for Petracca.

That's 3,609 points.

Still short and not factoring in the bids pushing those picks further back (it's kind of hurting my brain trying to factor that in), but pretty close.

Yep. Close enough for some future picks to get it over the line.

Doubt it’s the PSD

I do think it might well be pick 38 though with part of the reasoning behind our pick split to get 34 was to enable us to offload 38 without losing cover to match an early-ish bid on Williams - the other Tylah spelled by another mother

Reckon the Bombers are a shout if Merrett goes

 

[Mr Q]

Unless you are a rabbit or horse.

What about if you're a hobbit?

 

[TwoStriders]

Leaving Gold Coast’s picks 7 and 8 and Carlton’s pick 10 aside for now, because they are likely going to be involved in future trades.

Bids on Uwland, Patterson, Annable and Dean are set to eat picks 15, 17, 18, 22, 23. And it’s probable Gold Coast make a deal with 7 that results in another 1-2 picks being eaten in the top 25. Bids on Sweid and King could eat picks 27 and 30 and 32.

So could be 9-10 picks burned to match bids on 6 players in the top 30.

That would mean our picks 34 and 38 actually end up more like 30 and 34.

...which is actually not that exciting now that I’ve written it out.

 

[Obeanie1]

Well trade radio have already announced us as wooden spooners for next year and wondering if we get comp next year… there is just no way with a good injury run we win one game or finish last.

We could win 5 games next year and still finish last.

Expect some competition from Essendon and Melbourne for the spoon though.

And North can always North.

Sorry. My response was a joke, to pre-empt the inevitable suggestions that we burn all our bridges and obtain a discount through Dodoro-like antics. I'm sure we'll actually trade in good faith.

Oh North be northin. And the Tiges might do about the same as they’ll be a slow build with all the yoof

Yeh I think we'll jump up, 5 wins sounds about right.

And then if we get Warner across and the team develops as planned, I think we could be pushing top 8 in 2027. It's not quite the doom that Vic media that don't actually watch our games say.
