Analysis 2021 trade thread

Isn't this Clooney's silly daily megatrade suggestion that is thrown out purely for #Engagement?

certainly C grade work for the lions, yes we have little wriggle room but that doesnt seem to stop other finals teams

Which other final team has made significant improvements to their best 22 this year? And which has made more improvement from trading over the past few seasons than us?

rumours are Hippy’s knee is responding quite well to recovery and Danny Daly will be on trade radio today

need to focus on cream not stocking fillers when you consider where we are in a premiership window , that may mean pushing up the draft and get cream that way and giving up on used cars

We're just on hold. We'll get the player. Other than that, it's been a quiet period around the league. If we get Fort for not much, and manage some pick swaps to ditch our late picks, that's all we're looking for.

I don't disagree with your overall point, and I'm also critical of irish's post. But who has had more improvement from trading over the past few seasons than us? Well, most teams. Our free agency has been decent. Our trading has been pretty poor in the last couple of years.

I will assume you're referring to collecting Charlie Cameron, Lachie Neale and Linc McCarthy. They were 2017/2018. Last couple of years, we've seen a couple of role players, and then a few pretty poor pick swaps. Not the end of the world, and at the time, most looked OK, but still... I wouldn't say we've been a particularly shrewd trader.

Do you have an example of a trade that you think we should do irish

Danny Daly up next on Trade Radio

I think we’ve found the Trade WhispererView attachment 1258629

Brisbane seem a bit screw over with that multi team ruck roundabout.
Looking at other clubs. Gold Coast have six delistings or retirements, but just one pick. Is it worth Brisbane bundling 50, 54, and 60 and trying to swap for either of the Gold Coast's future second round selections. Either of these selections would be expected to be in the low to mid 20s whereas Brisbane's future second round selection would be expected to be low to mid 30s. This could be offered to Geelong better value and Brisbane the leverage ask for Fort and pick 41 instead of 55.

Danny Daly up next on Trade Radio

Comfirmed by Daly that Fort will be coming to us, Ceglar to Cats & Lynch to Hawks in the next 24 hours or so, for 2022 and beyond.

is our only pick up this year in a trade

We’re taking 3 picks to the draft

Was just about to talk about Ashcroft but phone lines went down
Quite confident both Ashcroft and Fletcher will be in Lions colours in 23

Rayner will be available round 1
Hipwood wants to play round 1 but the club wants to hold him back at least to mid season

Neale no chance to leave this year loves it in Queensland and him and Julie are very happy after having a daughter 3 weeks ago

 

[Quigley]

Hmmm. Daly wrote off the Neale trade but said something about others being a chance in a throw away line. Maybe nothing in it, but maybe something.

 

[Lazza16]

Some mystery of whether Ashcroft will go to the draft or nominate us......not addressed directly by Danny.

He will nominate us.

He was not asked. They commented on it when Daly was not on the call but I don't remember if continuing onto the discussion with Daly itself.

He came back after the break when they fixed the phone lines

They discussed Ashcroft with Danny about how good he is and they will get the points to get him to Brisbane but they didnt ask Daly.......IS HE COMING as a FS?.

 

[Nunez]

I wouldn't be surprised if we're trying to get Ashcroft jr up to Brisbane to be part of our academy next year.

 

[M Malice]

Hmmm. Daly wrote off the Neale trade but said something about others being a chance in a throw away line. Maybe nothing in it, but maybe something.

IMO that would have been about possible trade outs of still contracted Ely Smith and CEY highly unlikely any club would be interested though.

 

[mpal6]

Rumours going around are that Geelong are asking for a future 2nd round pick for Fort

Fort + 41 for our future second may be the trade. I had a look through future seconds, if we had a finals run again next year that second could be anywhere between 32 to 37. So it may be Fort + 41 for say 34/35/36/37. While we need that future second for points, maybe we'll trade back into that second round during next year trade period.

 

[Gadzorks]

I thought he grabbed him by the throat?
Or was that Purple?
Or am I just making things up?

Certainly hope that wasn't true. Grabbing by the throat is a DV indicator of all things not good.

 

[Warwick]

Fort + 41 for our future second may be the trade. I had a look through future seconds, if we had a finals run again next year that second could be anywhere between 32 to 37. So it may be Fort + 41 for say 34/35/36/37. While we need that future second for points, maybe we'll trade back into that second round during next year trade period.

What are we going to do with 41 this year though?

 

[M Malice]

What are we going to do with 41 this year though?

If Sam Banks slides that far snaffle him up, looking like it could happen, would be an absolute steal at that pick IMO.

 

[Lazza16]

What are we going to do with 41 this year though?

We gave Geelong 41 for ruckman West...just getting it back Seriously tho I expect our future 2nd to be at least 36 + F/S s n Academy...could be 41.

 

[scoman]

Thought he meant other clubs, as in Brisbane doesn't have any excitement to add to this trade period so best look elsewhere for late shenanigans.
