[saintbatty]

Fantastic news.
Someone run a number crunch- Picks 23 + 36 = Pick X? Points wise.
Are we done for trade week?

here ya go, done earlier

That extra live pick in this year's draft suggests that we will either be delisting/trading another player or on-trading those picks back into the first round. Not enough list spots otherwise.

 

[JG22]

Why it is smart re: draft

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

Who will be a gun. Win - win.

Totes. And thanks for the love, you guys in particular must love seeing Hawthorn going mental

 

[Jezzarayman]

After digesting this for 5 minutes, this is a monster win for us.

Two first round picks next year and a big fish free agent, we are nearing on Rebuild Complete mode. Really smart move.
Sets us up for a real crack from 2018-2024. Pelican would be proud.

 

[The_Steadier]

Fyfe a FA next year, if something changes between now and next thursday we have the assets to be in play.

Plus if we go into next year with 2 1sts we will be able to trade for fyfe if freo threaten to match a FA bid like the crows did with dangerfield.

 

[burningdwarf]

Holy s**t that trade is amazing for us.

I love this Jaegar guy, we don't have to worry about his knee and he's won us a deal for picks big time.

 

[sverik25]

Should probably be pick 50 for Stevens IMO.

This trade week just turned into a massive success. Huge thumbs up to Ameet again.

 

[saintsrfreak]

truefacts is da real MVP

 

[chris_h_11]

So that we have traded our next years 2nd does that mean under the rules we can't trade either 2017 1st round pick this year?

We can on-trade the Hawks pick this year, but we can't do anything with our 1st round pick until next year's trade week....

 

[Rabbito1994]

Hooooolllyyyy **** thats good. Insane!!!

Trade 36 and eli or someone similar for a gold coast 20 odd and get a good mid and key defender....

Or i dunno....ameets probably got another few aces and a full house or 3 and who knows frikkin what else up his sleeve.

Loving that champ. Setting the saints up for a frikkin dynasty....

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

So next season we support the Saints and anybody who plays the Hawks

 

[plugger66]

Wow. We just absolutely caned the Hawks in that trade. So smart to take advantage of the situation. Unbelievable trade for us.

That's the thing though. We haven't canned the Hawks. This is truly a win win trade if ive ever seen one. They get JOM and we have 2 bloody good picks next year.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Think about this for a second.

If Hawthorn implode and finish 9th next year (giving them pick 10 in next year's draft- which is now ours) it will mean that they've essentially given us picks 23 and 36 for "free"- not to mention that pick 10 in next year's supposedly stronger draft could be worth more than pick 10 in this years is!

Its like if we'd traded for a dud Freeman twice.

 

[bennymc7]

Wouldn't be surprised if we swap either our first next year or Hawks one for a pick this year.

A bit like I think it was Blues or GWS did last year.

My thoughts exactly, maybe a teens pick this year for future 1st, go in with 15(ish), 23, 36

 

[Highlander35]

 

[JG22]

We've mugged them off

 

[Sunnyjim]

So guys question is assuming we don't trade on 23 and 36, who do we go for in the draft this year?

[saintsman24]

Bainsy has done a lot of brilliant trades in his time at the club, I think that's the best of the lot. I've said privately to a few that I'd trade 10 for 2 picks in the 20s, we've just traded it for a top 15 pick in the 2017 Superdraft AND 2 picks in the top 40. If we want Heeney or Kelly next year, we have the currency. If we want to add 2 guns in a Superdraft, we have the currency. Either way I wouldn't get too attached to the pick, with GWS setting up for another Academy haul next year I wouldn't be surprised if they offered us 15 + extra for the Hawks pick. Could turn 10 into 15 + 23 + 36 + 37, that's simply genius.

Moorabbin Ghost is spot on re Mitchell deal being a cap dump. Similarly, the Bird trade to Essendon was a cap dump, so whenever an Essendon fan brings up the Carlisle deal, remind them they didn't "also get Bird", they were told to take on Bird's contract (which mightve cost them Stevens and very nearly cost them Laverde!)

sunny3193 you are quickly becoming one of my favourite posters! I loved your first post about us wanting to acquire picks, and as I said to Stavro at the time, the one comment I kept thinking back to is Ameet noting last year that there was a large increase in the supply of picks on the market. The economist in him would've told him this year is the perfect year to trade for picks (as the effective price of picks is extremely low), in that everyone wants players players players.. Well now he's gone BANG and set us up to fix the midfield for a long, long time.

Good to see you posting mate. Always enjoyed your insight.

 

[Gavinmitchell11]

No chance, O'meara won't play. Vidkery will be ok but I can't understand why they're paying him so much.

Also:

No Lewis, no mitchell. (Top 2 contested possession players gone)

They add mitchell who is a gun but that isn't going to keep them alive. They were extremely fortunate to get into top 4 this year. Even if Roughead plays I don't think it's possible.

B hill gone also

Exactly what I was going to say. I won't bother now.

 

[lewdogs]

That's the thing though. We haven't canned the Hawks. This is truly a win win trade if ive ever seen one. They get JOM and we have 2 bloody good picks next year.

I disagree. They will get JOM now but have given up even more than they had to. Seems a strange trade, but I get it they really want JOM. Anyway, regardless of the Hawks, it's a good one for us, puts us in a very strong draft position next year.
