Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[threesixpio]

We didn’t have one of the 12 apostles to offer him.

That deal feel through (the other eleven apostles).

How many are left anyway I dunno

 

[hawkmang]

bailey smith averaged 30 touches and career highs in basically every stat in 2022 wtf is this "two down years" narrative that people have seemingly made up

Hasn’t got 30 touches once this season yet… useless

 

[I got the outside word]

If our form continues for the season I can see some future firsts going out the door, especially if they may be bringing in that rule this year? Who would we target?

 

[The Chad and I]

On the topic of Harley Reid and his value, I would be prepared to trade quite a lot to get him.
I'm talking Lewis, CJ, +2 first round picks type of package.

I would not baulk at the addition of Nash/Worpel into that sort of deal either.
Obviously we'd get something back like 2nds and 3rd round picks in addition to reid.

These are players I love at the club, but are easily replaced.
Reid is a rare player and would elevate the team.

Prepare to cop a lot of heat for that suggestion.

Eagles wouldn't even look at that deal. In their eyes it's 2 injury prone players and 2 first rounders that won't even be close to the value of picks 2 & 3 (which is what they were willing to trade pick 1 for last year - but Reid is now worth well more now he's proven at AFL level).

They're not even joining the conversation unless we're putting at least 2 of Day, Newcombe and Weddle on the table.

When we play WC would like to see how Finn goes with a hard tag on Reid

Bodie debuts that week.,

Any MSD whispers ? I'm hoping there is someone decent around at our pick. Doesn't seem much excitement about it.

The MSD draft was only good in the COVID drafts. Now it’s just players not good enough to get drafted who you have to try and fluke a player that slipped through the cracks.

Ryan Mario at WCE looks good

West Coast will never trade Reid while contracted so it’s only a conversation if he does not re-sign in the future.

Time will tell

 

[Steven Tyler]

Ryan Mario at WCE looks good

Nah
Fergus Greene level

 

[FB19]

Certainly faring better than his brother, Bryan Luigi.

Itsa me, Ryan Mario

Gardner, Pickett and Noble were all taken in the 2019 MSD, Pre-covid.

Newcombe and D'Ambrosio might like a word with you too.

??? Newk was the perfect COVID bargain. Mass also affected. The others are solid.

Best option is to take a punt on a young tall and hope we get lucky.

Sorry Mario but our Princes Park is in another castle

Why don’t we throw in the 3 peat cups as well.
On a serious note I would not even swap Will Day for him, sure Reid is going to be Dusty Martin good but I think Will is going to be Bont good.

 

[Blackhawk42]

I attempted a 2025 best 23 (with 5 on the bench if common sense prevails from the AFL) including Battle and Baz.

Couldn't fit Ward, Nash, Blanck, McCabe or D'Ambrosio into the side.

This exercise gave me some real perspective of how Sam and the team have gone about building the list. If the squad stays fit we'll have an embarrassment of riches.

 

[Platten44]

It’s obvious if Reid ever leaves West Coast he will play for Geelong.

 

[Bugs1977]

With the AFL on the cusp of brining in the trading of future picks I wonder who'll be the first club to sell the farm and ruin their future. I'll go with the Saints but I wouldn't bet against North either. Might be worth running a sweep

 

[Sixpence]

It’s obvious if Reid ever leaves West Coast he will play for Geelong.

If he ever leaves, it will be to the team that offers him the best deal and can satisfy WC in a trade.

Hypothetically, WCE wouldn't be able to dictate much if at all
