Geez there’s a bit of jealousy how quickly Richmond have and Melbourne and potentially Essendon are going to be able to rebuild by trading a few senior players while we languish at the bottom having carried ours until retirement age

Melbourne have a $700k hole in their salary cap for each of the next 5 years as they’ll be subsidising GWS to take Oliver

 

[Altum Volantes]

So Patterson well and truly on the table now?

Is he that good though?

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

So Patterson well and truly on the table now?

They got back 24 and 28 this year and a 2nd next year, I’m sure they’ll still find a way to keep all their academy gifts.

 

[sey666]

Gcs can easily split 15 and 18 for more points

We can get more points if we split 13 and 19.

 

[Spooky17]

Is he that good though?

Patterson is a gun. Would love his run and carry on our list. Genuine X factor.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Imagine post-flag that Luke Shuey was fully fit, won 5 more B&F and then at the age of 30 decided to bail to Freo.

That is what the Dons supporters are going through right now.

Except for the flag of course, that would be ridiculous.

 

[CountryLad]

Hawks offering pick 10, 22 & F1 for a 30 year old. Seems pretty reasonable even if he is contracted.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Love how Merrett’s manager is flapping his gums about how he’s never seen an offer so good for a 30 year old player, and then 2 hours later Petracca (who will be 30 next season) brings back three first rounders include two in the top 10.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Yep. They will have 3 players in Rowell, Anderson and Petracca who are top-10 in the competition level when on song. And plenty of other good players too. Dimma pushing all his chips into the middle.

Flagmantle entering their window at the wrong time. No chance of a flag while Lions and Suns are peaking

 

[Patron]

Can some please quantify Gold Coasts picks post trade period and overlay a Pick 1 and Pick 2 bid on Uwland and Patterson?

I posted earlier - haven't seen the final details of Tracc trade yet to know.

 

[Keys]

Hawks offering pick 10, 22 & F1 for a 30 year old. Seems pretty reasonable even if he is contracted.

Still less than what Gold Coast just traded more to Melbourne for Petracca

 

[stallon]

If you swap Patrick Retschko and Finnbar Maley's last names around you get a fairly normal sounding person and a word salad: Patrick Malley and Finnbar Retschko.

Tbh Patrick, finbar and maley are all Irish names.

Retschko idk

 

[archiemoses]

Hawks offering pick 10, 22 & F1 for a 30 year old. Seems pretty reasonable even if he is contracted.

Middling picks. You'll get the same offer next year.

 

[EagleEgo]

Is he that good though?

He is not Peter Matera nor David Wirrpanda and is as good as Tylah Williams.

GC would be about 1000 points short to match a Patterson bid at pick 2 then wouldn't they?

Just missing the 10% discount.

Bids at 1 and 2 with the discount applied require 4,933 points to match.

15 – 973 points
18 – 836 points
24 – 621 points
28 – 505 points
29 – 479 points
36 – 317 points
37 – 297 points

1167 or something deficit they can go into?

Gcs are pretty close then, they'll make it happen

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Hawks offering pick 10, 22 & F1 for a 30 year old. Seems pretty reasonable even if he is contracted.

In reality that’s probably something around pick 14, pick 30, and then a pick around 20 next year.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Outrageously high price for Petracca

 

[TerryFilk]

GC would be about 1000 points short to match a Patterson bid at pick 2 then wouldn't they?

Can go into a deficit, think up to 1,100 points? But they’ll also flip their firsts in the teens for more points. They’ll match any Uwland and Patterson bid, Addinsall is the one we might be able to shake loose.

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

Love how Merrett’s manager is flapping his gums about how he’s never seen an offer so good for a 30 year old player, and then 2 hours later Petracca (who will be 30 next season) brings back three first rounders include two in the top 10.

GC can afford to overpay since they effectively get multiple first rounders every year courtesy of the academy.

 

[Corkintheocean]

Flagmantle entering their window at the wromg time. No chance of a *** while Lions and Suns are peaking

36 – 317 points
37 – 297 points
52 – 42 points

Total: 4,070

plus a 1100 points deficit next year means they can match 1 and 2. They seemingly lost the 37 and an replaced it with a better 2026 F2 lets say 19 to 23 range. So they'll have enough but will wipe out 2 years of drafts almost.

 

[cookiesncream]

Pretty sure they can.

Also I'm pretty sure they can trade picks between a bid being lodged and them matching, think I remember Brisbane doing it last year.

Yep. They can cover Uwland + Patterson or Uwland, Addinsall + Murray.

Will be interesting to see where clubs rate Addinsall, Murray and Coulson. Reckon Jai Murray might be a decent get.
