2019 Trade thread

[Loyal Lion]

So aside from losing Cutler, Taylor for chips and getting Ah Chee, nothing else in the works today that we're aware of?

Maybe we could winkle Ollie Wines out of Port Power for a future 1st rounder? Or even Robbie Gray might be a surprise for us!

I'll take that as a no

If only there was a term for a group of people being assembling by Marvel...

The revengers?

Along with cap, it's list space. We currently have 41 on our senior list. We need to cut at least 4 to make the required 3 picks in the draft. Oscar also needs to be upgraded from the rookie list.

Bastinac was on the rookie list already so him leaving doesn't free a senior list spot.

Seeing a lot of people mentioning the need to delist people, and Basti doesn't count because he was delisted and re-rookied. Worth noting that this is a move we've done a lot. Without checking, I think each of the last 3 years. Probably safe to assume we'll do it again this year.

We have plenty of candidates for players we might want to keep, but unlikely to attract attention. Players like CLyons, Payne, Lester, Wooller, Skinner. Obviously not all, but 1 or 2 isn't a problem.

Basically, we can just operate to a list size of 44, plus Cat B rookies. Mix between the primary and rookie lists is irrelevant.

If you accept this idea, then Basti will open up a list spot. Just slightly more difficult.

It's all a contrivance. Be bloody hilarious if by clubs leaving it all so late a big deal couldn't get done in time.

Or a team changed their mind

 

[David C]

Yeah you probably right, I am just in the draft picks are over rated camp. Too me if we picked up someone at pick 44 who turned out to be as good as Cutler or Taylor who would think we have done well. It’s more likely to go the other way. Not just talking about us but all clubs.

Got Answerth at pick 55 last year … just saying.

Delisting Bastinac + Hinge can free up a list spots because we can re-rookie long term projects like a Sam Skinner or a Connor Ballenden.

Essentially there's 44 on the list now and 3 cat B rookies. Heaps of space.

Beat me

In addition to what others have said, it's also about managing the salary cap, not just for next season but subsequently. Trading is as much about contract and cap issues than the simple face value transaction of players for picks.

Plus Noah Answerth says hi.

I also wonder what sort of contracts Taylor and Cutler were on as holdovers from the bad old days.

 

[jjami15]

I’m confused as to why, oh well, maybe a long term play at something for next year.

So we get a 4th back? Is that how anyone else is reading it?

 

[Dodongo]

Dodongo thinks so. Next year's pick will be around 34 anyway so Gold Coast will be hoping we go bad unless we have plans with 34 to move up this year.

We give up a future 2nd and 4th round pick

 

[PattyKwasagun]

Goodbye Squiz. Thanks for the highlights in a period with very few.

 

[davemc_lions]

Thanks Squizzy.. miss you mate..All the best at the swans

Trade paperwork lodged: Brisbane Lions have traded Lewis Taylor to Sydney Swans for selection 48 (on-traded from Carlton)

 

[Tom14]

Goodbye Squiz. Thanks for the highlights in a period with very few.

Gave us a 100 games plus of service in a brutal period, wish him all the best.

 

[davemc_lions]

So you think 57 for Cutler then?

 

[Tom14]

Per this article we are giving a future 2 and a future 4 in return for Ah chee. We are also reportedly giving essendenon a future 4 in the cutler deal so who knows.

Thanks Squiz, for the great service for our team. And propping us up for a time in need.
Sorry to see you go.
But, glad I didn’t purchase the number 28 on my Guernsey as I was planning to a couple of years ago.

 

[jackess]

Pretty pleased with those trades

Solid trade period. 4.5/10

 

[jackess]

Very happy with Ah Chee. Good trade too

 

[pulpdriver]

Seems like we've maintained a lot of picks this year but not corresponding list space, wonder what sort of pick swap we have on the cards?
