32 or 47 for sale if anyone wants it. Needs to include a future 4th in the deal.
 
48; 50; 52 for 36 and 55
I will happily agree to that swap of picks.
Hawks can’t trade pick 48 to Brisbane, because Brisbane traded it to Hawthorn in the Gunston trade, it’s against AFL rules.

Would you do 40 and 43 for pick 35 and a Future 3rd

That’s not a good trade. Better off keeping pick 35 and just trading a future 3rd round pick for a current 3rd pick, from a team that won’t use the pick.

Probably won’t happen here, in a game, but it’s probable in the real thing.

I will double check that rule. Are you sure because Brisbane got 55 back from the Cats?

Nah, that's only in the case on the night.

No, it’s not.

AFL rules are, no matter which trade period in the one year, you can’t trade a pick back to the team you got it from.

Back when Noble was still our GM of football, he explained it pretty clearly on the clubs podcast, and explained that the Lions kept a spreadsheet of such picks handy, to reference on draft night.

He even mentioned that the rule stopped the Lions from making a trade at the 2018 draft, when we were trying to trade back in the get Answerth late.

Could have sworn I saw a trade that disagrees with that but I can't remember right now.
 
I'll just start it now because I'll defs struggle to get a pick up tomorrow morning

GWS Pick 1
Aaron Cadman
195 cm 91 kg
Tall Forward
GWV Rebels

I've spoken about him a ridiculous amount recently, so I'll do the lazy thing and just link the Rookie Me Central profile xx

STRENGTHS:

  • Contested marking
  • Forward craft
  • Leading patterns
  • Mobility
  • Scoreboard impact
  • Strength

IMPROVEMENTS:

  • Set shot consistency
  • Ground balls

Cadman has developed into one of the top prospects in the 2022 AFL Draft, so it is no surprise that there are plenty of strengths to his game that have allowed him sustained and consistent success at elite junior level. His prime strength compared to his peers is his contested marking, with his sticky and safe hands the clear standout trait that has him in the elite category for that area.

What allows Cadman to take so many marks - averaging 5.5 per game at NAB League and 6.3 in the AFL Under 18 Championships - are his forward craft and his leading patterns. He knows when to lead and when to engage in a wrestle, and though his natural body strength is another area that works in his favour, Cadman is best known for finding the space inside 50, leading into the space and taking the ball cleanly.

More than capable of crashing packs, Cadman is more of a clean grab marker that enables him to more often than not pull down the contested grab. He took six of them - at 1.5 per game - for Vic Country and is hard to spoil when his arms are outstretched. Though taller players might have longer reach. Once the ball is in his hands, it is near-impossible to spill it from there.

Cadman plays a simple but effective game for a key forward. He works hard on the lead, picks the right time to go, and has the safest hands to be able to pull down the mark. His mobility - which while not an elite athlete like a Max King - is still an asset, with Cadman able to move reasonably well for a readymade forward who is well along the way to being fully developed. Unlike others who are better described as beanpoles, Cadman has the best of both worlds in being strong, but also mobile.

Once Cadman has done all the hard work of finding the space, leading and taking the mark, his set shot goalkicking can let him down. Though, it is not a case of him being a technically poor set shot for goal. In fact, sometimes Cadman can be nailing majors from anywhere within 60m of the big sticks, but it is more his consistency when it comes to set shots - as it showed when Vic Country fell short of Vic Metro, booting 3.3.

In Round 5 of the NAB League he booted 1.3, then returned in Round 8 against the Jets to slot 5.0. The next week he kicked 4.4, then 5.1. Back-to-back weeks of 2.5 and 3.3 were followed up by 4.0 in the final round of the regular season. Effectively, a confident Cadman is a match-winning dominant player, but he can have his woes in front of goal.

Another area of improvement which is not as crucial to his role as a key forward is his ground ball ability. Cadman is so good in the air, and mobile, that he also competes well at ground level. If he can be a touch cleaner below his knees, he can take his game to another level.




Smythe with North Melbourne
 
Offical trade: Brisbane trade 38 and a future 4th to St Kilda for Pick 32.
