OK, I was bored at work today so I had a go at some trades.
100% hypothetical & of course there will be some inequalities, particularly pro Freo (my team)
so here goes
Adelaide lose McKernan to Brisbane, but gain Polec.
Polec worth around 10, McKernan around 30-40. Lose Vince to Sydney for Vince.
Brisbane gain McKernan, but lose Polec to Adelaide. Gain Goldsack from Collingwood for their 2nd round pick.
I'd keep the second round pick personally.
Carlton gain Watts from Melbourne and Melbourne's 3rd round pick, but lose their first round pick to Melbourne.
Surely Carlton wouldn't pay this much for Watts? Lose Warnock to St Kilda for Saints 3rd round pick.
Think another club would pay more than that. Maybe second rounder from GWS, although I know Blues fans over-rate Warnock. Lose Yarran to Hawthorn for Hawks 2nd round pick.
Eagles would give up our second round pick in a heartbeat, and I don't think the blues would trade yarran for less than a top 12-15 pick, blues fans would probably say top 10. Delist Laidler. Gain Markovic from PSD.
Collingwood gain Sylvia the free agent, but lose D Thomas the free agent. lose Goldsack to Brisbane, but gain Brisbane's 2nd round pick.
Essendon lose Colyer to West Coast for WC 2nd round pick.
We need pace, but we also need size. Our midfield sucks. I'd probably prefer to keep our second round pick. Lose Gumbleton to Richmond, but gain A Smith from WC & WC 3rd round pick (3 way trade). lose Hille the free agent
Fremantle lose first round draft pick & C Pearce for J Riewoldt.
n/a as signed today lose Sutcliffe to Port, but gain M Shaw from Port. Lose Silvagni, but gain St Kilda 4th round pick, which is ontraded to Port Adelaide in the Shaw/Sutcliffe trade.
Geelong lose M Brown to Western Bulldogs, but gain E Wood from the Dogs.
not sure if the cats would do this.
Gold Coast lose Gorringe to Port Power, gain Power 2nd round draft pick.
No chance - worth much more than pick 30. Gain Laidler from PSD.
GWS lose T Adams to Richmond for Richmond 2nd round draft pick and B Griffiths & C Pearce who was ontraded via Richmond. Gain McEvoy plus St Kilda first round draft pick.
McEvoy won't leave St Kilda. Lose first round draft pick to St Kilda. Gain Franklin the free agent.
Hawthorn lose Franklin the free agent. Gain Yarran from Carlton, but lose 2nd round draft pick.
Melbourne lose Watts and 3rd round draft pick to Carlton, but gain Carlton first round draft pick. Gain D Hille as free agent.
North Melbourne lose L Anthony to west coast, but gain Rosa from WC.
What? Anthony is crap. Rosa is average. No way we'd do that trade. gain Cooney the free agent.
Port Adelaide lose M Shaw to Freo, but gain C Sutcliffe plus St Kilda 4th round pick ontraded from Freo. Gain Gorringe from GC, but lose 2nd round draft pick to GC.
Richmond lose J Riewoldt to Freo, Ben Griffiths and 2nd round draft pick to GWS, gain Freo 1st round draft pick & T Adams from GWS. Gain Gumbleton from Essendon, but lose Conca to wc (3 way trade). Lose McGuane the free agent.
St Kilda lose McEvoy and first round draft pick for GWS first round draft pick. Gain D Thomas the free agent. Gain R Warnock from Carlton for 3rd round draft pick. gain Silvagni from Freo for 4th round draft pick.
Sydney lose Grundy to Adelaide and gain Vince from Adelaide.
Grundy worth more delist J White
White would have some value now I think, even if it's low
West Coast gain Colyer from Essendon, but lose 2nd round draft pick. Gain Conca from Richmond, but lose A Smith to Essendon & 3rd round draft pick.
what do we give up for conca? richmond would want a first round pick which we wouldn't give up. Gain L Anthony from North, but lose Rosa to North.
Western Bulldogs gain M Brown from Geelong, but lose E Wood to Cats. Gain J White from PSD. Gain McGuane the free agent. Delist Markovic.
I'm sure I will get howled down by a few people, but I had 50 minutes of down time & I had everything else done, so I just went for it.
Apologies for any serious undervaluation, but I tried to look for what I perceived to be needs in the most part.
I'll probably get zero correct.
Hope you enjoy the read & take it with a grain of salt.
