2017 trade hypothetical thread

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
Im not sure how the saints could get involved in this type of transaction.
This deal is really dependent with how high Naish is likely to be bid on.
It could be advantageous to both teams
 
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.

Taberner is our best forward.

The issue regarding longevity in the game is so many players who don't get a chance to play at AFL level because they didn't have it. Both players named have and have contributed. Pick #32 hasn't. We can't fit eight defenders in the side. Four years from now Freo could have zero games played from that trade while Hawthorn get 50 in a year.

It's a terrible deal. Don't try and equate Stratton with Dangerfield and Franklin either.

Same deal you propose but rather do it with the Saints. Obviously the higher up we get in the draft the less likely we will need to match Naish with a 1st rd pick. Whats not to understand?

The saints have a better first round selection but no second round selection I believe. I could be wrong.
So you trade pick 15 and 17 for pick 7 and ?

I would. Not sure anything else is required. Maybe their 3rd
St Kilda would say thank you if you gave up two first rounders for pick 7.
It would also mean a high bid on Patrick Naish could put you in deficit for next year.
But each to there own.
Good luck tomorrow night.
 
and the third round starts in the 30s....

I said token third. Like a 3rd from Sydney who won't use it. No club will be stupid enough to get him for under pick 50.
Pick 10 and miles for schache
27 for naish

Miles really adds nothing to that deal and Brisbane don't need another average slow inside midfielder.

well they are into him so i guess they disagree

Probably as a bargain basement replacement for Rockliff. With all due respect Richmonds midfield isn't exactly the greatest of all time outside your top 3 or 4 and if he can't manage games for you then he clearly ain't worth much.

miles is unlucky not to be getting games a lot of richmond fans want him in the team. he is too good for vfl level and would get a game at a fair few sides

He has got to be doing something wrong if he can't get a game in front of Broad, Castagna etc. If I remember correctly he didn't get much of a go at it last year either?

broad is a defender and castagna is a forward and our main pressure and tackling option down there. miles is playing in the guts and is behind prestia. he played most games last year this is the first year other then his first season at richmond that he hasn't been in our side

Completely different types, so not really a fair comparison.

60 games in 4 seasons, including 5 this year.


Personally, I hope you're right, nobody's interested and we can keep him.
 
Hypothetical trade

Fremantle receive
Ben Stratton + Hawthorn's 2017 pick 32

Hawthorn receive
Matthew Taberner + Harley Balic

Is that a fair deal?
It's a lose-lose-lose-lose trade. Hawks should keep pick 32. Freo should keep Taberner. Stratton doesn't add anything to the trade. Balic as steak knives undervalues him (he's not Dean Gore!)

I would hazard a guess that a Hawks-Balic trade could look something like:
Balic, 40 and 77
for
32 and 60

That wouldnt be bad. Especially if we had a F/S to bid on.
 
Adelaide's chances of getting Jeremy McGovern from West Coast this year before he becomes a RFA next year? What gets it done?
