Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XII - 💰💰💰

eth-dog · Oct 19, 2023

Now that trade period is closed, here's where I'm at:

Out Of Contract:

1 year: Jaiden Hunter

Delist: Alastair Lord, Cian McBride, Will Snelling, James Stewart, Anthony Munkara, Rhett Montgomerie, Patrick Voss
Retire: Andrew Phillips, Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti

4 list spots, 2-3 ND, 1-2 RD.

Pick trade: 31, 35, 61 and F4 (Pies) for 24, 84 and F3 (Suns). They get ~500 more points and by the time all the bids go through 84 will probably end up being in the late 50's/early 60's anyway.

Pick 11-13 (post bids): Darcy Wilson (Murray Bushrangers, 186/74, Midfielder/Forward)
Pick 29/30: Archer Reid (Gippsland Power, 203/94, Key Forward/Ruck)
Pick ~60: Will Brown (Sandringham Dragons, 194/86, Inside Midfielder)

RD8: Nathan Philactides (Oakleigh Chargers, 180/80, Half Back)
Cat B: Mahmoud Taha (Calder Cannons, 182/75, Outside Midfielder)
Cat B: Wil Parker (Cricket, 180/76, Half Back)

Which takes us to:

Key Defenders: Lewis Hayes, Kaine Baldwin (KF), Zachary Reid, Ben McKay
Medium Defenders: Nik Cox, Jordan Ridley, Jayden Laverde, Dyson Heppell, Jake Kelly
Small Defenders: Andrew McGrath, Nick Hind (SF), Mason Redman, Nathan Philactides, Wil Parker (OM)

Midfield (17):

Inside Midfielders: Darcy Parish, Elijah Tsatas, Jye Caldwell, Zachary Merrett, Ben Hobbs, Dylan Shiel, Will Setterfield, Darcy Wilson, Will Brown
Outside Midfielders: Sam Durham, Alwyn Davey jr (SF), Nic Martin, Xavier Duursma (MD), Mahmoud Taha
Rucks: Sam Draper, Nick Bryan, Todd Goldstein

Forward (13):

Key Forwards: Sam Weideman (KD), Peter Wright (ruc), Harrison Jones, Jaiden Hunter, Archer Reid (ruc)
Medium Forwards: Kyle Langford (OM), Archie Perkins (IM), Jake Stringer
Small Forwards: Matt Guelfi, Jayden Davey, Tex Wanganeen (OM), Jye Menzie, Jade Gresham (OM)

A very slight nitpick, he is an inside mid

Nathan Philactides is going to be busy when he comes off the bench to replace himself at HBF.

Is delist Snelling and draft Mannagh from the vfl. Only if he’s available at 61.

We cant do that

Vindicater · Oct 19, 2023

So assuming we delist Snelling and Voss and recontract Hunter.

We have 34 on the main list and 3 on the rookie list? So 5 spots to fill (3 ND and 2 RD my preference although we could keep a rookie spot free as well and only go with 1 rookie spot.)

I have not included Cat B in my calculations.

We need to find at least one hard running midfielder and developing ruckman in those picks for list balance in my opinion.

We're currently in 5, out 7 as Hunter was taken because of Davey ACL. So 4, plus two Cat B spots open if we cut Snelling and Voss

Why? Didn’t you say above we have 35 spots taken of a possible 38 not including Snelling

I just counted the list and we have 36 signed players. If we then sign Hunter we will have 37. That is 5 spots right as we can have 42 plus 2 cat B?

He was wrong. Baldwin is a must upgrade so only 3 spots available if Snelling goes.

I think you miscounted.

After the draft/trade period last year we had 42 + 2 Cat B. Since then we've:

In: Hunter, McKay, Goldy, Gresham and Duursma
Out: Stewart, Phillips, Lord, Zerk-Thatcher, Montgomerie, D'Ambrosio, Walla (plus McBride and Munkara)

So two open spots with two Cat B as it stands.

Yep. Missed Kelly. My sub conscious at work.

Some really good analysis of the trade period in this article. Really good read for Bomber’s fans

The winners and losers of the AFL trade period by the numbers

The trade period is almost another AFL season unto itself but now the deals are done and the dust has settled this is how the biggest transactions will impact the league, write Cody Atkinson and Sean Lawson.

Dogs’ balancing act; Pies’ bid to fight off feeding frenzy: Looming free agency calls facing every club

www.foxsports.com.au

Not a huge amount of big-name free agents, but between that and the guys OOC there should be some ability to chase things.

The projected value is pretty funny, like yeah Collingwood got the best projected player.

But to sign the best they had to give up a first rounder when they could've signed the 3rd best for free and they ended up having to trade away the second best for peanuts.

This graph further down probably captures it better;

Naughton has just re-signed for 8 years, so JUH would be the one to try to pry loose.
