List Mgmt. 2025 Trade/FA Thread (Cont’d)

Love leppa , but you gotta know when to walk out and not cave into your desperation.

 

[yeah man]

This is why the Blues think they’re a chance with Humphrey

But he's wearing black and white, so clearly he's coming to the Pies. Why else would he be smiling?

 

[Basil brush]

I am of the belief that draft picks are overrated, and especially 2027 picks with Tas. So does a guarantee in Simpkin look better than any possible picks we may give?

Just thinking out loud.

 

[Visions]

The crux of our final deal to north will be 2027 1st, 2026 2nd.

Don’t worry about that. What’s happening with JDG? You’re adamant he was going to be traded.

 

[Pedro]

A F1 and F2 is already more than I would be prepared to pay for Simpkin. Time to slam the laptop shut and get on the train home Leppa. Nothing good can come from staying in this.

 

[odoyle_rules]

We have little faith in Leppa - he won't do a deal that silly -

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Can someone go pick up Leppa please?

Which draft year? How confident are you that Tassie is coming in? What if you get something back from North?

And the main factor for me: what if North contributes to his very inflated salary? That’s honestly the bigger factor for me.

It’s more about having the currency to get A grade players that will be available next year.

 

[Pistol Night]

Think we are super Keen on Simpkin

Hate to say would not be the Biggest Shock IF we Trade 2 1sts for Simpkin

Silly to overpay though

Ill spew if we hand over 1. 2 will make me inconsolable

True but you still get to trade two years ahead next year so if the A grade rate is 2xfirsts you would still easily meet that.

 

[odoyle_rules]

We offered F2 for Simpkin. We're not going to go from that to 2 1sts! I'd be super suprised if we went to 1 1st

100% it does. The two we have offered are likely in the 20s and 30s.

I mean look at what these 30 year old A graders are getting.. We are going to need all the currency!

 

[WanderingDude]

Why did we pass on Clayton Olliver exactly with Melbourne paying half his salary and coming for a 3rd round pick?

If your passing Oliver please see your GP.

 

[tmpies01]

We’re taking the pi55 so far so why not one last.

 

[cust22]

Jamarra appears to like enjoying himself. Who doesn't?

Training and the demands of being an AFL player not so much.

Maybe he will change. Maybe not.

Well he will be free of partying distractions in the Gold Coast..... lol. Probably the worst place for him to go.

 

[flagpieORdie]

Really want Leppa to offer a future future 3rd just for the fun of it

 

[CasuallyDressed]

I'd offer Pick 45 for Simpkin and pick 46 and tell them to gagf.

Two first... gotta be kidding me, even if they could blow out into picks near the 20s.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

If we really offered a future first and a future 2nd and they knocked it back? Walk away

 

[Basil brush]

I think free agency will be huge next year. I know we are massive on Ben king.

As for butters and others, not sure what happens.

Anyway, while I see your point, next offseason is a long way away.

Does Simpkin improve us over the picks we give for him in the meantime?

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

What does Jake think about this Michael?

Drafts aren't overrated. They are a great way to have list flexibility, especially if you nail your picks .

The GC one is a massive outlier, see D Rioli trade. They just don’t care about those picks because of academy talent.
