    Clearly we have been happy with how he has attacked Pre-season and so some of doubts we may have had last year are blown away and think it is fine to take a punt.

    Points for Ned Maginess in 2024 at bare minimum if he rates as FS pick. Grease trade wheels in 2024. Satisfy some weird criteria to balance trades in AFL HQ's eyes.

    We have enough points for Dear.. more than enough. I am not even sure if we should match bid on Tew if he slides past 40, we have pick 46. I would do swap F1 trades with the clubs having next 5 picks( except blues) for their 30's pick swapped with pick 46. Will give us a bite at few sliders...

    Play Nice Hypothetical Pick 1 Trade Poll: Pick 1 for Picks 2 & 15 --- Pick 1 & F1 (WCE) for Picks 2 & 3 --- Something else?

    That was when you still had dreams of 2+3. When those dreams are invalidated, this becomes the next best offer on the table if Curtin is one of your targets. If not, keep Pick 1 and pick Reid or McKercher. We need to consider pick Demons are willing to offer their 6+11 for our 4 and then a 3...

    Play Nice Hypothetical Pick 1 Trade Poll: Pick 1 for Picks 2 & 15 --- Pick 1 & F1 (WCE) for Picks 2 & 3 --- Something else?

    I fully concur with this. Players have still not moved to the new club, so trading them out should be fine in principle. Only problem is prevent clubs from doing photo ops with drafted players and only to then trade them out. If WCE are happy with any one of McKercher/Durrsma/Curtain at 4...

    Traded Mabior Chol [Traded with #62 to Hawthorn for F2 (Bris)]

    Given Suns are getting rid of 900K from Salary cap space, suns are doing quite well. Unders for Hawks but I want Hawks to look at using the scenario to plan for getting back in after McCabe bid is made. So will add to equation pick 33 to be swapped for Tigers F2 or F3 Then after McCabe bid...

    Will do that if it includes Suns late 3 picks too to come to Hawks. We need the points. Suns are not taking 10 picks to draft and will lose the last 3 anyway.

    Free Agency Ben McKay [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    It is not base salary. Mistake is deliberate and gives North a look at contract and know Dodo aint bluffing. If North wants a shot a pick 1, then agree to trade 2/3 for 8+F1 and mistake will get corrected. After all it was only a rounding error. LMAO.

    Free Agency Ben McKay [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    The delay may well be cause North know that compo will be Band 2 and are wondering about PSD risk. If dons can land him via PSD, then accepting Band 2 may be better. Maybe Dodo has buyer's remorse after winning the McKay signature, is now willing to let hawks have him. This could be the other...

    Free Agency Ben McKay [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    This passes the smell test for me & is the working theory I am using to explain the delay in a making a decision on contract that was agreed on more than a week back. This works too but have a hard time believing Essendon would risk not getting their man. Maybe there is a handshake deal to let...

    Free Agency Ben McKay [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    Even better is Compo should be linked to the last offer placed to player. If player rejects the offer and nominates for FA, the compo should be based on rejected offer. Clubs argue that they want to keep a player they developed and free agency rights negotiated by Players Association needs to...

    Not biased, my pick is the last goal. Loved all the others.. Especially Punky's and Wingard's

    Traded Brodie Grundy [traded to Sydney for #46 and F2]

    There is no compo for such FA. Hugh Greenwood was delisted by Suns with promise he will be picked back. North jumped in and picked him in FA period. AFAIK Suns didn't get compo for that. Whole point of compo pick is for clubs who have put effort in developing players( mostly KPP) and to be...

    Traded Brodie Grundy [traded to Sydney for #46 and F2]

    How is James Jordan a FA at age 22.. I thought players needs to have been at club for 7-8 yrs for FA rules to apply & compo to be given. If he is a delisted FA, then surely compo doesn't apply for them. If it does, the clubs will delist more players and pick them and can game the system lot...

    Free Agency Ben McKay [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    We will pick McKay in PSD if Dodo keeps his distance. If he approach's with interesting hacks we will consider F2 or pick 28 or North can offer their pick 20 from 2024 & we will call Dodo's bluff. I am more keen to call Dodo's bluff given our history & reasonable history with Norf. But all that...

    naa, we will be happy to pass over McKay's inflated contract after having a nice chat with Dodo on some sidedeals. If this ensures we have pick 3 instead of 4, I am with the Bombers. If North want us to play ball, then lets have a chat on couple of your teens pick.

    Free Agency Ben McKay [Joins Essendon as RFA]

    more like 4-4.2 for 6 yrs First 3 yrs will avg over 850K, so should get Band 1 compo for North and in return for delivering Pick 3, North trade their F2 and pick 39 for Frost. Would assume Benny Boy is getting 1.2m for 1st yr

    I am so glad we didn't. Just have a look at his draft thread and the shitshow btw freo and Saints fans https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/liam-henry-trade-requested-to-saints.1346331/page-54 Doesn't look like a deal will get done & he will end up in PSD.

    How does the Pies salary dump work. Can Demons transfer that Pies debt over to Sydney or will Pies get rid of the debt and Sydney take over the whole contract?

    2023 Provisional AFL Draft Order (updated live throughout the season)

    Shouldn't GWS be higher on ladder than Saints since they won and Saints lost. Readjusted ladder should now have Saints at 7 and Sydney at 8 Which means Saints should have pick 12 and GWS pick 13, Sydney remain on 11

    Recommitted Sam Frost [OOC 2024]

    You should visit the North board. Clarko is into him, more so needed with McKay gone and Logue injured. Would like to early 3rd rounder but think they will settle at North Pick 53. ideally would like to get North's 39 with our F4 going back( or a late pick in 60's if we have any )

    Club Focus Gold Coast SUNS 2023

    That text seems familiar.. looks like something I wrote 3 weeks back. you miss 2 key points. Suns are the ones holding most of the junk picks which they will lose if they don't have list spot open. if they trade it to someone, it can't be traded back to them by the same club. PS : Dogs also...

    I would trade for him in a deal involving CJ & 4. 4+ Chol (take his sal on) for CJ.

    exactly, he may be happy to play at 650K for 5 yrs, North match it. No trade gets done. he goes to PSD and sets his terms similar or higher than 650K for 5. Only teams in his ear would be odds on to pick him at that deal. Surely not North at that stage.

    Club Focus Gold Coast SUNS 2023

    then you should bid. If Suns don't match, then you have the players you want. But I bet those are NOT the players you want, maybe Walters but not Read at 3.

    Traded Tyler Brockman [Traded to West Coast for #44 and #63]

    How are we holding it over his head.. Eagles can pick him in PSD if they are not keen to be fair. 35 and the one of the 50's pick is where it woudl settle at after hawks asking for pick 19 to start.
  27. hawkinoz

    Traded Tyler Brockman [Traded to West Coast for #44 and #63]

    My ideal is pick 19 with 29 going back + pick in 50's thrown in to balance it but since Eagles are tied to pick 19 as Day 2 pick, the next best option is Pick 35+38 with 48 going back. This gives us options to trade for Esava or Henry or Kai If Eagles lowball, I am fine to let Brocky walk to...

    Traded Tyler Brockman [Traded to West Coast for #44 and #63]

    Just checked last yrs order and they finished Day 1 with Pick 21 from GWS. GWS had pick 22 as well and did not trade it Now if there are Band 2 compos they will come at end of 1st round, so I would assume they will slot ahead of Eagles Pick 19.

    Traded Tyler Brockman [Traded to West Coast for #44 and #63]

    won't be 1st pick of 2nd day Suns will have 3 Academy picks slotted in + like Croft as FS picked in early teens. Whoever holds Pick 17 is likely to be the 1st pick of Day 2.
