Matt Clarke wraps up the trade period - 6PR

Saints only have picks 50and 65 this year worth SFA. They may get something from Cats for Marshall but tipped to be F1.

Backing off Aleer means more options for us with Ryan.

Ryans manager should be on the phone to other Clubs if Liam seriously wants out of West Coast, otherwise I think he will be back at MRP next season.

Saints have been on a big shopping spree and have now blown their budget.

[TerryFilk]

This is a disgusting deal, our 2027 F3 going back to them is hilarious. God Clark stinks.

 

[TOA.]

Essentially given Ryan up for very little.

Why on earth did we give anything back?

 

[wce_all_da_way]

Yummy another death ride.

Gross trade though.

 

[Jeremy McLovin]

Could end up being decent. 2027 is the tassie draft and would hope to improve by then.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Wow.

Talk about leaving a player hanging hgh and dry.

Rightly or wrongly players are commodities now. the Players treat their contracts and their clubs with distain and I see unfortunately that the clubs are going to start to become very much less caring about players feeling going forward because of this.

 

[Monocle]

I'm happy with a F2 for Ryan.

Bolstering next years draft hand, is smart business.

Clarke is having a much better year two in the wheelhouse.

Tassie draft that F3 will be in the 50s you’d think

 

[eaglevision]

History

Don’t mind it. Should be further up the ladder by then and heavily compromised draft

 

[TOA.]

Tassie draft that F3 will be in the 60s you’d think

Hopefully...hard to tell how that all plays out

 

[Obeanie1]

So.

What's happening in the 2027 draft?

What would our F3rd be?

Maybe stop and think before replying.

Here's a clue.

 

[Elite Pete]

Hopefully...hard to tell how that all plays out

Yeah more likely 50s.

We have another death ride for 2026.

 

[wce_all_da_way]

Are we expecting F2's to come a little bit in from their starting position due to the new pick matching system?

 

[Keys]

Saints F2 is thereabouts

A 2027 F3 is basically worthless especially when we’ll be back in finals by then

 

[Spod]

Wait to hear the full details, could have other parts moving. And yeah if Tassie is in the 2027 draft an F3 will be a pretty lousy pick.

 

[Lia]

Good but not great. Here is hoping we start to improve in 2027 though it is a compromised pick anyway.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Can’t remember where I read it but someone pointed out that Allen has a habit of blowing up salary caps - left Collingwood and Gold Coast in a mess TPP wise

Oh that's the top of the iceberg

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Well, I guess we know why St Kilda pulled out of the Aleer deal. They have f-all left in draft picks this year and now their second round pick next year, which was specifically the Giants' asking price, is gone.

For what it's worth, they were offering Aleer more than $700k per year so a future 2nd is a perfectly reasonable ask by GWS.

 

[twce13]

F3 are close to useless these days unless its a deep draft.

That being said I dont think we should be giving a pick along with Ryan, but I can live with it.

reality is, we need the list space.

 

[TerryFilk]

So.

What's happening in the 2027 draft?

What would our F3rd be?

Maybe stop and think before replying.

Here's a clue.

Our F3 will be a 10-14 pick upgrade on St Kilda’s F2 even with Tassie.

Ryan was contracted, any half decent list manager would’ve not had to include our F3.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

I'm happy with a F2 for Ryan.

Bolstering next years draft hand, is smart business.

Clarke is having a much better year two in the wheelhouse.

Agree, Ryan is not really worth much other than Eagles fans heart strings. I think we are doing a good job in this trade. Would love us to acquire a seasoned Midfielder but it's clear thats not going to happen.

If we're reliant on a F3 in 2027 to assist our list build then we're well and truly ****ed.
