2020 Draft and Trades Thread

[Young_Guns]

The news of Cameron opens a lot of possibilities... Wright being courted by clubs who have missed out on Cameron. Geelong offloading players for cap purposes ; Clark, Cockatoo etc

Feels good to not be the expansion club being smashed

Clark would be perfect. Will never happen, but I do not understand how he can’t get a look in.

That Unprofessional overrated Handbaggers Franchise Joke Weasel Whateley’s non-performance in regards to the Cameron disgrace on 360 tonight once again shows up the inept cheerleading nature of the VFL media.

It’ll always be hard when most
Victorians want to go “home”

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

I have heard Parfitt is staying at Geelong. Just waiting to see how much $ is left after trade period to see whether they’ll give him more $ some years & less other years

Parfitt would be great.
Think he's a bit of a cross between Miller, Anderson and Weller.
Pretty stocky and a great tackler but quite explosive too.
22.5 years old.

IF Geelong are paying him 450k, I'd certainly be happy to pay a bit more.
500-550k?

FA is a joke. Gives the players more power. By saying they earnt their right to choose, given they gave their previous club 8 years service and if things don't work out then its their right to decide.

Definitely gives club less power, as they can only deal with the one club.. unless another comes into it and if a deal can't be done, the player might have to change their tune. It almost happened with Shiel and Essendon/Carlton in 2018.

Agree....I'd prefer him to Crouch...

As much as i hate them you have to give it to Geelong at how well of a run club they are. The consistently get players of note wanting to go there and get the most out of there picks and players. They have been a good team around the pointy end for over a decade. Incredibly well run

When prominent Cats people like Frank Costa are allegedly paying players massive money outside the cap to attend lunches or endorse products The Cats can get players to commit based on them earning much more money overall.
how do I know this? Directly from Stevie J

They have signed Partfit to a 2 year deal. They made sure he was not gonna be on the table for negotiations with GWS

I firmly believe that this GF is being played between the only two clubs that are systematically cheating the salary cap.
There’s no sentiment to this one.
Neutrals should boycott it.

Fyfe was named one of the best players in the losing GF, also for a few times this year. Believe he also performed well in the academy series. Pescud I think is highly rated by draft watchers.

Not sure if Pescud played any QAFL games, but played in the academy series also.

This seems to be one year that there is a fair few decent academy prospects. Definitely makes it tough in deciding.

yes he did - he played 5 QAFL games out of 9 for Surfers Paradise - his club since Aus Kick

Magpie set to be the ‘fall guy’ if club can lure a star forward

Magpie set to be ‘trade bait’ in club’s pursuit of superstar forward

Too much smoke here now. I think the club are up to their eyeballs in treloar. Would wright satisfy as the key forward magpies need? Not much difference goal kicking wise between him and hogan.

Uggh. Reading that article... a poor kick with no hurt factor. Not to forget the dodgy hamstrings. Just what we need

Personally I would prefer B.Crouch for his Value with the money ball factor but an A grade established player in any part of the ground is a huge boost to our club regardless.

Same. Positive of Crouch over Treloar is we still have Pick 5 up our sleeve. Can’t see the Pies settling for anything less than 5 for Treloar (maybe also a swap of later picks). Going to be fascinating to see how it all goes.
Keep Treloar fit and it is definitely a big boost for our young midfield regardless of how he’s rated by others. Greenwood is a good example of one team’s trash being another team’s treasure.

 

[sunsofanarchy]

Is there a way to keep pick 5? Collingwood seem desperate to keep Moore, DeGoey, Daicos etc that they are pushing Treloar out the door to save money, if we can help them do that, is there a way that we can keep pick 5 or nah?

Well future picks are probably more valuable to them with Father son Nick Daicos

You think greenwood was a shit pick up?

Sounds far more palatable

No, but Treloar would be

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

He’s got a back-ended deal so he’d be on significant money in the last couple of years, five more seasons left,” he added.


That is horrific...

Let Collingwood deal with that mess.

 

[sunsofanarchy]

4 years to go on the Swallow contract

Yeah, maybe worse.
I'd rather be saddled with 1 not 2 of those kind of contracts

That’s exactly the type of deal we do, but only if we ensure we over pay as well

I could see Treloar for pick 5, 2MP and Brodie and we pay their contracts, thus ensuring we lose Rowell and Anderson as we won’t have enough cap space to Hold them in 2 years for late picks from Essendon. Screams out suns deal

 

[Young_Guns]

Although I think Collingwood probably didn’t utilise Treloars strengths and instead tried to cram him in as an in and under heavy lifter, paying him $1mill+ as Rowell/Anderson/King/Rankine/Lukosius hit their 4th/5th years and demand big money doesnt end well.

However I kinda always just assumed that teams just threw out the current contract and wrote up a new one when players moved and everyone kinda just went along with it.
