Recommitted Patrick Cripps [UFA 2027] - name was floated for a move in 2025, stayed

[Scotland]

Bit of a difference then

Yes.

Hawthorn got Cooper Stephens, pick 41 and pick 50 for Tom Mitchell and he was 29.

Facts remain that players 30 and over rarely attract huge trade packages. Assuming it was a case of Carlton or a WA club I would be very surprised Freo finished 9th (or 7th) and offered their first round pick for Cripps. He would be their second oldest player and their core is 22-27 so they aren't in desperate win now mode (as they weekend showed, hur hur). No guarantees with picks but I doubt many Freo fans would be offering Murphy Reid for Cripps right now.

Fact remains that would be a garbage trade for Carlton so no reason we'd entertain it

Come 11th or 12th again then. There are 10 good teams in the comp and none of them are really concerned if the teams in 11th-18th want to sit on their cards.

Feel free to post what you think a realistic trade offer for Cripps would look like.

What do you think Pendlles and Lachie Neale are worth?

GAJ was traded for an upgrade from pick 24 to pick 19 and a future second round pick.

Cripps is a great player and has been for a long time. But he's not a highly valuable trade asset at this time.

Won 2 of the last 3 Brownlows before this season but yeah hey, just a packet of chips, yeah nah hey.
