Analysis 2016 AFL Trade Week Thread

[mightypowerrrr]

Why haven't we put broadbent on the trade table. Our 'strength' is HBFs and Broadbent could get us a top 20 pick or a good player. We need him or Hartlett.
Him and Lobbe would be the first 2 players would look to trade from our list.

Ford Fairlane might be able to answer that.

Must. Find. Thread.

PORT Adelaide has confirmed its interest in Geelong ruckman-forward Nathan Vardy, but his move to Alberton hinges on finding a trade for ruckman Matthew Lobbe.
And the Cats are dismissing the Power — or any AFL rival — has made a move on contracted speedster Steven Motlop.

Someone must have seen something in Vardy - 25 games in 5 years looks like a pretty undistinguished career and I'd be extremely annoyed if we let more than a 4th round pick go for him. If Geelong are interested enough to take Lobbe with his long contract and give us Vardy and their 36(they also have 40) then that could work. Although if Lobbe is leaving I'd like to shop him around to see what we can get. I know there are a lot of people on this board who think we have no chance of that but other teams may have different ideas.

According to Chris Davies we are still keen on Nathan Vardy but only if Lobbe finds a new home.

Is Lobbe for Vardy that big a win for us? Has such a deal got any chance of happening?

I am with you Mick, I think I would sooner aim at a second round pick for Lobbe. I went to the Cats board when Vardy was first mentioned and they do not put a huge price on him.

I guess a lot will depend on what we get for Lobbe. If we scored a second for Lobbe then gave a fourth for Vardy it would be close to the mark.

Lol at people gargling Gibbs nuts. You do realize a couple of years ago he was seen in the exact same light as what Hartlett is at this very moment?

and still is by some

 

[LFC2010]

im happy for the crows to get gibbs as long as the pay with this years and next years first round draft picks.

one caller has mentioned H Dear and L Henderson. Lol's

Its more the money release of Lobbe

 

[Kingfish73]

Have we ever got out fast from the blocks during trade period? We always seem to wait until the 11th hour. Lets just hope the silence is no indication of the dealing behind scenes for Port. Early days

 

[Magus]

Why are we chasing someone that can't stay on the park?

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Nah, Vardy hasn't played 25 games in five years. 25 games in seven years. 16 games in the last five. He's consistent for a good three games. Oh well. I like Harry.

The point of this aspect of our trading is-

(1) Free up salary cap (i.e. lose Lobbe @ $400,000 pa and gain Vardy @ $250,000 pa)

(2) Improve draft position (i.e. gain pick 28 for Lobbe, spend pick 60 on Vardy).

 

[Us against the rest]

I might ask my current employer that I am seeking a trade to Hawthorn. Its getting quite boring now. Hope all those players that get there never see a GF in their careers....

This is the AFL's equalization plan working a treat.

"Gibbs moves us from a semi-final team to a preliminary final team. Getting a 2nd A-grad mid moves us to the Grand Final."

I just choked on my milo.

You are probably right shewy but if we have to rely on a contracted player agreeing to move before we can trade then we have stuffed up.

I hope Rucci is right and we have that $600,000.

Had a look at the cows "Bryce Gibbs requests a trade" thread. Sounds like a title to one of the Ladybird books that I had when I was a kid.
Most of the stuff seemed to be pretty sensible, the odd humorous one where they suggested #13 and Bicks and Rowe. Not sure if one of them was serious, it suggested getting 19 from Brisbane for 31 and CEY and then getting Gibbs for 19 and Grigg.
And most who posted on whether we would be in it agreed that we wouldn't.

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

yet another Giant nominates Carlton as their preferred destination as Jarrod Pickett wants out

 

[Boss351]

going to be hard to move on any of our list cloggers or high salary/long contract players for good draft spots especially when big ticket players have nominated Geelong, Collingwood and Hawthorn who want to bring in all these names but don't have 1st rounds or high draft picks available

Broadbents contracted till 2019 and not going anywhere.
