i loved watching solomon play with essendon but we look like we're going to come out of his trade laughing.. from fremantle we received (from memory) picks 42 and 47... those picks landed us reimers and houli!.. looks like it could turn out a great deal..

anyone know of other occasions we've managed to offload someone during trade week and come out laughing?

Not sure if it was trade time or not but you offloaded Olerenshaw, Tony Elshaugh and Peter Bradbury to us and were probably laughing then too.:D

Don't forget Ian MacMullin and Andrew Ukovic. I think we just gave them to you.

:p

:cool:
 
Another Freo Gem
Des Headland for pick 1 or 3.
Sounds good until you mention pick 1 or 3 is Jared Brennan...

Who'd North get for Peter Bell?
 
We gave Freo a pick in this trade too.
But we've still done very well.

Ted Richards for pick 19 (Dempsey) was a good one.

That is looking a ripper trade at the moment.

It was Richards and pick 54 (Kristin Thornton) for Picks 19 and 50 (Dempsey and Lonergan)

Though I did like Richards and he has been good for Sydney.
 
NM and WCE (Lecras) did well in the complicated trade of Nathan Thompson from Hawthorn. Hawks used their trades to pick up Bo Nixon from Collingwood and Matthew Little, while Collingwood picked up Chad Morrison! :D

Fremantle traded picks 1, 20 & 36 to Hawks for Luke McPhalin. Hawks picked up Luke Hodge and Sam Mitchell!!! :D

The Peter Bell trade to Fremantle, NM didn't do that well, Jess Sinclair, Dylan Smith and Ricky Olarenshaw (traded with Collingwood #37 Guy Richards).
 
surely nothing can beat...

offloading tony delaney, todd ridley, dale kickett, russell williams to freo for:

no.1 16yo draft pick m.lloyd
no.4 draft pick s.lucas

thanks dockers!

1 Correct - pick 50-something. Hasn't played a game I believe.

2 Was it? Ted Richards has given Sydney more than Dempsey's given us, still. Dempsey's still a fair way from proving he can consistently get on the park
 
If Tarrant was worth (more than) pick 8, then Ted was worth close to pick 15

Had quite a purple patch immediately on arrival at Sydney when I bet they were thinking "bargain" just as we are now

Maybe 19 was a bit high, but a third-round would have been fair

they weren't trades, they were compensatory draft picks (compensation for freo taking some of our uncontracted players). it was impossible for fremantle to get either of those draft picks.
 
Was Cupido traded for Caracella? If so, it looked like it might pay off for a while, but I guess not!

Cupido and Pick 17 (Bris first round pick).
Plus McPhee.

We sent Caracella to Brisbane and pick 55 to Freo.
They drafted Ryan Crowley with that pick, although he was delisted before playing a game and then redrafted.

1 Correct - pick 50-something. Hasn't played a game I believe.

Ted Richards is a very average footballer, who we drafted with the pick is irrelevant. We got a first round draft pick for him, that's a fantastic result.

Just like the Danny Jacobs trade. Yes, we got Kep and he didn't work out. It was still a fantastic trade because of the opportunity given to us. The fact we wasted that opportunity doesn't change that it was still a great trade.
 
To get a top 20 pick for Richards was great. Now we need Dempsey to validate it.

This was somewhat cheapened by throwing away our pick 23 for Richard Cole at the same time though:thumbsdown:.

Sneaking 4 places up the draft order to get Lonergan may prove to be a great element of the Richards trade too.... as he looks good and we may have missed out on him.

I was a big Richards fan - now I'm a huge Dempsey fan :D. Confident this will work out in our favour.

IIRC, we got McPhee in that trade also.

This was a great trade for us - also helped us obtain Winderlich. We had to get rid of Caracella & Heffernan due to salary cap concerns and usually you would expect to lose in those situations.

Lost: Caracella & pick 55 (Crowley)
Gained: McPhee; Cupido & pick 15*

Freo also sent picks 3 (Brennan) & 19 (T Selwood) to Brisbane to obtain Headland as the (at the time) key element of the trade. Interesting to think of a Selwood twin being involved in the Headland trade in retrospect given the tattoo saga.

*Pick 15 was then on-traded with Heffernan for pick 12 (Winderlich - pick 11 after Carlton lost pick 1).

We also traded Blumfield for pick 28 (Cartledge) which didn't work out so well.
