2017 trade hypothetical thread

Haha no chance you get 30 for miles. He's a reserves player for you he would move on for a token pick

I said 30-odd for a reason.

So long as we get points really...a decent pick upgrade will do it.

He'll get more than a token pick, both due to him being a useful player and it being a weak draft, but I'm under no illusion it'll be massive.

He's worth a token 3rd at the best.

I think a problem Richmond has is that we're looking at Naish as a FS, but he's likely to be just after our firsts, and we don't exactly have a lot of points to pay for him (picks 50, 52 & 71 IIRC which wouldn't be enough is he goes early 20s), so securing a later pick would be useful, and if we can do that by shifting one of our firsts up, then bonus. (the point values of 15/17 & 10/27 are about the same BTW)

Of course, the more likely scenario is we do so with a trade for someone like Miles for pick 30-odd which would do the job, but hey, it's a hypothetical thread.
We promise not to bid on Naish if you promise not to bid on Ballenden.

No.

We need to go tall, and while I'd take others by preference, if they're already gone by then, then we should take a shot at Ballenden.

I also doubt you'd go for Naish....A smallish outside player isn't exactly what I imagine you're looking for.

Mind you, if we do some other deal, then a quiet word to that effect could probably help sweeten the deal a little.
 
Essendon Pick 11, 28 and 46 to Richmond approx 2337 points
Richmond Pick 15, 17 and 54 to Essendon approx 2357 points
Richmond get higher in the draft and have pick 28 set aside for Naish and a third round upgrade
Essendon have two picks later in first round to draft or to use in trades and slide down in the third round.
I have calculated the tigers win the flag I believe.

Its not too bad but personally I would rather keep both picks and hope Naish slides after both our picks.
For us to do a trade like that I think we would have to try it with the Saints

What would you want for the two first rounders? We don't have a second this year...yet!

Maybe we could sweeten it with Cyril...

People really need to get over player age. 29 is hardly old.

The fact is that players aren't on an improving trend when they are 29 and returning from a knee injury.

Giving up twenty years of football for a few from another and maybe some from a draft pick just isn't a good deal for a team that won't achieve anything for a couple of years and has a full stable back anyway.

We don't have expectations so I'd rather see if we can find a player to get a decade out of.

Despite the fact that hardly anyone makes it 5 years, everyone gets described as a 10 year player.

Its also a stupid argument. Like you wouldnt trade Taberner and Balic for Buddy or Danger...

The real reason you shouldnt be trading Taberner is because McCarthy is nowhere near KPF ability.
