Matt Clarke wraps up the trade period - 6PR

 

[Bender_]

Scott would be flattered to be considered the cream of the crop but I think Joel probably had him beat.

You got the sentiment.

 

[FKASC]

What is ryan worth then ?

Based on what’s taken place so far, you’d have to say a late first rounder. Whether or not that happens we’ll have to see

 

[Dale Doback]

Good to see West Coast and Fremantle list managers behave like adults after years of competing. Took care of business early and we can both move on to the next deals.

 

[WCE777]

perfectly explained and totally agree

 

[oak79]

If it's any consolation to those melting... the Freo board is melting more.

 

[thebutterflyeffect]

Relative to what?

We got Starc for a 10 pick down grade in the 2nd round.

THATs what Starcevich cost. A pick downgrade. 23 to 33.

And also got pick 52 to trade or to match a bid or use.

So it didn't cost pick 23 to land him did it.

Not sure if your calculations are right... I think you've missed a pick.

Relative to the Lions who are getting two free agents and losing one. Are not losing any of their picks and also gaining picks whilst also being back to back premiers.

Again not saying we got fleeced. Not even saying we lost, just saying we didn't win and I think we could use some wins.

 

[Weshi]

Scott would be flattered to be considered the cream of the crop but I think Joel probably had him beat.

Yes, got that wrong, I think with Joels career going till recent I assumed he was younger, just played a ton more footy!

 

[EagleEgo]

Pick 33 might be needed for T Williams NGA

Pick 52 for T Young from Richmond .

Do you think Tylar Young is not a delisted free agent? I am not so sure about the rule!

 

[Rowan18]

I disagree with the idea we haven't had many top picks, we've done the best we can since 2021, taking 4 R1 in 3 drafts (including pick 1 2023) and trading to get more this year. 7R1 in 4 drafts is a fair effort, considering only 1 will be indirectly linked to a PP.

 

[WCE777]

It genuinely sounds like the recruiters have been working their butts off and chatting to everyone under the sun in their attempts to improve our list, great work WC men!

totally

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Do you think Tylar Young is not a delisted free agent? I am not so sure about the rule!

No, Richmond haven’t delisted him.

 

[Boohemian]

With the rookie list - does it play a factor if we are

Scott would be flattered to be considered the cream of the crop but I think Joel probably had him beat.

TBF - Scott was completely derailed by that ankle injury. Had a great 2012 season, and thought he could reach similar heights to Joel.

 

[bzparkes]

If it's any consolation to those melting... the Freo board is melting more.

We could've got Rowell & Daicos for a pick in the 40s and there'd still eb people melting in here.

 

[shooshka]

The way i'm breaking the trade down is

Pick 22
for
Starcevich & Dev (assuming they delist him)


Picks 16 and 23 (1577 points)
for
Picks 12, 33 & 52 (1564 points)



Once the picks slide due to Oscar we lose 32 points but

move up from 17 to 13
move down from 24 to 34
Gain an extra pick 53

When you look at it like this it was a very good deal for the club.

Need to add the band 1 compo guarantee to the Dev delisting.

Both of which were likely anyway, but paying a very minor price to guarantee them is good business.

What I’d love to hear at the end of the trade period is us saying there is no guarantee not to bid on Annable (obviously public statements will say that), and that clearly in the trading there was no value built in for that type of promise (I.e. Brisbane wanted to bargain hard, but didn’t negotiate all of the leverage - and hopefully we make them pay!!)

As Ava Gardener said, deap down I am very shallow, so this is a win.

I don't think Dev will be delisted, he'll want certainty that he will get to a club (so will go to Dogs if not us). We'll probably trade him for some kind of late pick swap that preserves points for everyone.

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

And it is finished, a small write up to come. Its a top 80 so it will take multiple attachments lmao

I havent heard this but my crows supporting mate has said he has talent and never got a lot of time in the midfield

Edit
Sorry mate. Replied to wrong message

 

[EagleEgo]

No, Richmond haven’t delisted him.

According to the rule, an out of contract 2nd year rookie refusing to take an extension contract (does not have to be delisted) is a delisted free agent.
(I would assume a 3rd year rookie is similar?)

 

[txbyhull]

This is presumably a reply to the Schoenberg comments above mine?

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

Do you?

It's been a big couple of days but even these throw away lines I really find frustrating.

Yes. He coughed up #3 last year. NOT a throwaway line. Have you seen me anywhere complaining about yesterday's trade. Well stfu, then.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Starcevich is a great pick up imo, (caveat being his head knocks of course). Unlocks intriguing scenarios around Ginbey, Hough, Baker and McCarthy's utilisation. Durability aside I reckon he is a far better pure defender than Barrass personally. Heard nothing through this trade period about fixing our ruck situation which is the most dire position on our list.

I agree we need a ruck but more importantly we need an experienced midfielder above all else and it looks like we are not chasing one.

 

[Grumpyshades]

Freo supporters fully melting after gifting us pick 12

the same mob who sold the farm for pea heart Bolton

 

[Goroyals22]

Arent we into Schoenberg?

He’s on Richmond’s senior list
