List Mgmt. 2024 List Management thread - Trade Targets Part 2

[Spirit Level]

All very 5th hand, friend of a friend whisper shit so take with a grain of salt.

The smoke is still there re Pickett, just no flame yet. Word I've heard is that he's waiting for concrete Bolton information before moving forward.

 

[Dayts]

He’s visited his manger in Adelaide “weird”
Told him get me to WA!
It’s in your hands now, I’m off the grind driving to NT.

Ralph’s gonna spin some story how Kozzies drive with family gave him time to reflect and is now fully committed to getting to WA to be around the rest of his family.

Sparkle off to south’s all the writings on the wall.

If Narkle wasn’t taken in the mid-season draft last year he would have been at Souths this year.

Just been told Saints are trying to pry out one of our defenders with their future first. Not sure who, but Ryan would be my guess. Apparently had a good relationship with Ross.

2 X AA contracted Ryan? Surely that's 2 firsts, amirite?

Why, it's the one area of the ground they're covered? Makes no sense

He’s such a spud he makes Jack Anthony look like Gary Ablett jnr but he’s been more regular than most players that get delisted. Doubt we’d have any use for him and he’s too old for West Coast. Is he certainty to be delisted because tbh it’d be strange for him to head home when there’s a possibility he could be offered a deal by Port.

Oh Jesus. That's mutually assured destruction if ever I've heard it.

Can one player go for your team's first round picks in perpetuity? Find out after the break...

Think that’s the real issue, to get Richmond to pay a large chunk of Boltons contract we need to caugh up the good picks 9&10, we probably asked the what it looks like with 9&17 and they said “your paying his salary” so either have the cap space but not the picks, or we have the picks but not the cap space.

You mean they wanna BUY our picks??

danster vs blaiseee final boss who comes out on top

Too hard to call, both have phase shifts and numpty modes. Need to start a Melbourne / Richmond player moment rumour to find out. Oliver to Richmond for Lynch might do it.

 

[pK75]

Absolutely they want to buy our picks, OOC he’s probably worth 9 or 10 on its own, in contract 9 & 27, if we want them to pay a small chunk of the salary it becomes 9 & 17, if we want them to pay a large chunk for multiple years it’s 9 & 10.
I think a middle ground can be reached but unless the port pick improves to 13-14, they will want our best 2 picks to offer the salary relief we want to get Pickett.
Obviously if we can offload a couple on medium salary we don’t need to sell everything (picks) but there’s a long way to go.

This makes my head hurt.

Biggest crab ever etc, certainty to be desisted, to old for WC but could get a deal from Port who are currently playing finals?

Port will smash Geelong, the latter are pretenders.

Thing is though if we give 9 and 10 we then probably dont have the currency for Pickett

I can’t see Freo handing over 9 & 10 for Bolton, regardless how big his contract is. I will ****ing spew if that happens.

Always thought Ryan may be the one poached.

Saints are losing battle.
Last chance for him to lock in some decent coin.
Back home to vic.
Grandad who he is close with isn’t able to get around much.
His partner in crime now has a missus and baby.

Think Draper or Chapman could play that role.

Would suck, great guy, more experience gone.

But half this board would jump for joy.

 

[DragoDelph]

So, if it’s not Warner.

Big name. Would have to be mid/fwd.

Enough to make people lose their minds. (Up in here, up in here).

Would be ooc or close to. (Last year).

Enough to make us tell koz to hang tight.

And yet there’s been no whispers or hints anywhere. It doesn’t make sense. It has to be Chad.

What would Ryan actually be worth tradewise?

He’s not a true stopper, but is also durable.

I’d say about the same as Barrass.

Occam’s razor - The simpler solution should be preferred over the more complex one.

Chad is obvious. We’ve been linked. He’s still playing finals, so no real murmurs. We’ve said we’ll be aggressive. We look like we didn’t go hard at Pickett. Simples.

Occam was a 14th century philosopher who was rumoured to discuss trades and slave swaps in the gladiatorial battles. He made a name for himself when posed a series of seemingly complex questions with open-ended solutions. Being savvy, but also bordering an IQ that most would see as being ******ed, he took the easy route every time and had a 53% strike rate, which was enough for his legacy to still hold to this day.

Using Occam, applied mathematics and sprinkled with hearsay I’ve calculated Chad to Freo at 58% 2024 and 178% for 2025…
