Player Watch Billy Frampton - Traded to Collingwood

[Golumless]

Future third for Frampton is pretty good business.

 

[Crow till I die]

Grundy to the Dees for #27, it's getting ridiculous now.

We dodged a bullet a while back on him

 

[Wazzy36]

Anything above a 4th rounder is paying over's. I think we've come out well in this one.

 

[Crow till I die]

Can anyone explain why COLL didn't simply sign Frampton as a DFA ?

Would he have been a delisted free agent or needed to go in the PSD draft?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Such a big trade that it crashed the forum.

He would have been a DFA .....if unsigned by COLL, then he would have gone in the ND .....then if not claimed, into the PSD

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Weird. But good!

Might be the #27 Collingwood got for Brodie Grundy that was announced at the same time

The only thing I can think of is they were spooked another club would consider him as a DFA/PSD pick.

Third rounders have little to no value. It'll be around pick 50

Do we have any father/sons or academy players next year ??

Who?

Still a better pick than what we traded to get him, I believe

Has to be it.....Used in the right way in the right system with his athleticism and kicking skills he might surprise some I think.

Jeremy Howe is in the twilight zone too.

was good for us though as we now have a full 2023 suite of picks available

I can only assume collingwood were worried someone else would get him if they let it go to delisted free agent.

We had no junk picks this year to get involved in any of the father son/NGA pick swaps.

Would rather have them than not have them.

Jordan Dawson says hello. pick No. 56

 

[Peter Doherty]

If Welsh keeps progressing we may need points in '24, we could trade this Frampton pick for a '24 pick at some point.

Agreed he would have been a DFA.

However, players who were previously on an AFL list have the option of nominating for the ND or PSD (noting that players who nominate for the ND, but aren't selected, are automatically nominated for the PSD). If he wanted to nominate solely for the PSD, then he would have had that option - as Hately did, not long ago.

If Welsh keeps progressing we may need points in '24, we could trade this Frampton pick for a '24 pick at some point.

At this stage it looks like we'll have a lot more delistings happening in 2023. We'll probably be using every draft pick we can get our hands on.

Can anyone explain why COLL didn't simply sign Frampton as a DFA ?

Several reasons...

• It keeps good relations between ADEL and COLL, noting that we'll eventually be doing other deals in the future.
• It reduces uncertainty, and prevents another club from gazumping them in the draft(s) or DFA signings.
• It gets him into their system earlier, as otherwise they would need to wait for us to delist him before they can sign him.

It's not uncommon for trades to happen this way. We did something very similar a few years back, when we gave Geelong a token pick (which they didn't end up using) in return for Podsiadly.
