List Mgmt. 2022 Trade Thread - Part III

[The Punter]

GWS looking to offload salary. They ain't taking Clark for only picks.

 

[lewdogs]

GWS now have picks 3, 12, 15, 18, 21.

They'll probably have more soon after Hopper goes.

Can't see why they'd be that interested in our picks though unless we want to do something like 9 for 12 and 18.

Maybe if we take one of their overpaids they might give us something juicy.

 

[billings2paddy]

I think GWS want to move up the draft board. It’s rumoured they have their sights set on pick 1.

They currently have 7095 draft points with the hopper, whitfield trade to go it is highly likely they will have 9000 draft points or the equivalent of 3 pick 1's
Equalisation

I think they are looking to offload only one of those players.

 

[SinCitySainter]

But we aren’t having a rebuild. That line of thinking is just wrong. And I don’t really see what’s confusing about our strategy. We missed out on De Goey, who was the type of player we need, but there aren’t many other realistic targets. So we go back to the draft hopefully with two first round picks.

Makes a lot of sense. The Clark stuff confuses me but I’m not sure what the true story is.

Our strategy was always the draft. De Goey was a Free Agent and as such did not impact our draft position.

Looks like they're starting from scratch. Could finish last next year.

 

[gringo2011]

You can mock Newnes but he played over 200 AFL games, not a bad effort for a fair player.

He was a good soldier. Was no star but he was a mister consistent that was good enough to be in the first picked every week. Good trainer and team man too.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Considering everyone on here wants to see trades just for the sake of making things happen, it's pretty understandable. Trades give supporters hope.

Gags did come out very early and say our trade period would be quiet and we would be focusing on the draft. Hundreds of pages on this thread would suggest many of us forgot this little tidbit. Never mind that we’ve spent years calling for the drafting of kids and no more major top ups!

Besides De Goey, who would have cost nothing picks-wise, who should we have gone after? I say we should be pleased we’re not chasing random players for the sake of it - just to look like ‘destination club.”
Cordy was probably a good move as we needed insurance down back, that also cost us bugger all.

We all got seduced by pick 7, but it looks like the banker is holding onto the purse strings so WE don’t get ourselves into a situation where we need to salary cap dump and lose good players in the future.

We’ve got improvement to come in our three from last year, improvement from Coff and Hayes returning and hopefully improvement from Clark, and to a lesser extent Hill, being told some home truths. North haven’t even made an offer for Hill.

Can’t ever say we’ll never get injuries, but if Higgins and Gresh can stay injury free that’ll provide a big boost too.

 

[Gosaints12]

Just for interest

GWS currently have picks 3, 12, 15, 19, 44, 61, 63, 79.

They’ve got 18 now too, Bruhn to the Cats.

Yeah sorry Jack.
Now Carlton have another ex Saint on their books who could possibly get to 200 games.

 

[The Jack]

I would be happy with GWS picks #12 & #19 for Hunter Clark?

We’d be extremely lucky to get 19 by itself.

 

[Yawkey way]

Sheezel or Wardlaw I'd assume.

I haven't seen anything about an issue with Cadman's marking.

That’s the knock on him from recruiters.

 

[billings2paddy]

I think they are looking to offload only one of those players.

100% offloading just hopper will get them 9000 points and if they get what they want for hopper will have 7 top 19 draft picks.
That's a full rebuild in 1 draft
We currently have 3052 points or the equivalent of pick 1

 

[The Jack]

Brutal if true.

 

[The Boar]

GWS might have too many picks for this Draft with potentially more for Hopper on the way.

Trade our Future 2nd and Clark for a glut of those picks? If Clark isn't keen, something like F2RP for P19.

 

[billings2paddy]

That's very poor if true

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Someone on tR wanted us to trade 9 for Lachlie Hunter - lel

Or Khamis. The first ten seconds I have listened all week. Holy moly. They need an IQ threshold to let these people on the radio.

Giants are always keen to move up

Not sure we should be too keen to move down there

We are in a good spot, especially if WC end up with 9 and take a WA kid

If we could afford degoey we afford pick 7

Doubt the Giants would be?

 

[pebblesofsand]

I'd like it on the record that I think, on top of the concussions, that the "he's just selfish" stuff got to Higgins.

IMO there are two ways Higgins can go: selfish, productive Higgins or non-AFL standard Higgins. I want him hungry for goals. We have others for the pressure and the unselfish stuff, but Higgins is a point of difference in his ability to score himself at that size.

Unfortunately for Higgins, I suspect there's a 3rd way he might go - the Koby/Paddy way.

There is a right and wrong way of doing things.

Unfortunately we keeping choosing option 2.
