Mega Thread Possible trades in 2015 for the Crows

[hendo8888]

Doesn't add up. Including Kerridge & Wright we will have lost 7 players. We have 3 players coming in, and 2 rookie upgrades. That leaves 2 vacancies as things stand.

There are still 3 options open.
1 - Delist a contracted player.
2 - Make only 2 live selections in the draft.
3 - Upgrade only one of Kelly/ROB.

Option 2 is the hot favourite.

Which gives the indication that a bundling of picks is on the cards. Seems completely unlikely that we don't use pick 28/32 (whichever we don't use on Seedsman), so the assumption would be that we will use it as trade value of some description.

Option 1: Bundled with Kerridge for Carlton's 20, which then bundled with 13 for an early pick.
Option 2: Kerridge leaves for free effectively, bundle 13 with 28 for a smaller upgrade.
Option 3: Make a big play for some unknown at this point player. Use a couple picks to try make it work.

Given that we used next years second rounder for Hampton, we obviously have a plan for using this years picks somewhere.

Or GWS only wanted next years second rounder for some reason.

 

[Brentmeister]

Milera should be there at 13.

With his strong SANFL form at the end of the season he may well be a bolter.

 

[Pugsley]

If one of those is redhorse then you need to take your blinkers off. He came. He posted. He claimed info. He has not been seen since.

Let go of Menzel. He is as likely to land at the AFC as Jake Stringer is!

Last seen at Dodgy Bros Wines in McLaren Vale.

A pick swap is highly likely, once we have finalised all of our player-trades.

2nd rounder next year will hopefully be around the 30 mark.

I'm okay with this, especially if Curtly cements his spot in the side and we get a years use out of him before the selection comes into play.

Remember a 2016 2nd rounder is probably 4 years away (as of today) from making any meaningful impact at AFL level.

And given the state of our list, the trades we've brought in and 2 or 3 first rounders this year - that will be a big mouthful to chew on for some while. EXCITED!

[Wouldbetackler]

Any word when the Seedsman trade is going to be wrapped up?

 

[Bicks]

Or GWS only wanted next years second rounder for some reason.

I'm starting to get the feel we may want to use one of Pick 28 or 32 this year specifically on a SA youngster they feel will be there in that range, 28 makes the most sense to retain as the blokes down the road have Pick 29 I think??

 

[Wouldbetackler]

With his strong SANFL form at the end of the season he may well be a bolter.

They are touting him as the 8th best player excluding the academy players

 

[Large 1]

Love to see if we can upgrade pick 9 (e.g 9+28 for saints pick 5 if saints don't give 5 for Carlisle and 23). Then either use the two live picks this year or do something creative, for example:

Swap 5 and 32 for Collingwood's 7 and Seedsman (if 32 alone won't get it done, especially if we are only using two live picks);

or trade picks 5 and 13 for Melbournes pick 6 this year and next years first - this would give us two firsts next year which together with our "Danger Dollars" means we can chase a BIG trade next year. But would mean we have to go deep in a shallow draft this year.

Collingwood probably need to get Treloar sorted. Could hold us up for a while.

 

[MRB37]

Might be the Cockatoo of the draft. Speedy mid who bolts up the draft order by the time the day arrives.

Great video.

Probably expect to make the 8 next year and want some extra currency for academy picks in the event they turn up short. Might as well bank some future coin while they have enough currency to get who they want from the academy this year and have a surplus guy like Hampton who wants out.

 

[Wouldbetackler]

Would love 3 First rounders this year and get Milera, bonner and burton

 

[Magma]

stronger draft
weaker draft

blah blah blah really. good players are everpresent

 

[Donkey Magoo]

We must have something else up our sleeve if we needed to use our 2016 pick.. I reckon the delay was to get him here for a photo opportunity

I bet that he was already there. This has been cooked for a while.

Option 2 is the hot favourite.

So what are we going to do with 28/32 (assuming one goes on seedsman) and anything we get for kerridge? Turn them into 2016 picks via trade?

 

[dude316]

stronger draft
weaker draft

blah blah blah really. good players are everpresent

But not over abundant.

 

[GrommoT]

Nothing unless he becomes a top 10 player, we will be able to make the points to get him. He's looking more like a rookie list option at this stage because he was Ian Callinan height last time he was measured publicly.

 

[Kane Johnson]

Has Kerridge actually said he wants to leave or is everyone just assuming he is going because Carlton want him and we haven't re-signed him yet?

 

[Magma]

But not over abundant.

its all case by case. number 1 picks can flop, rookie list players can be stars. its all down to development in 95% of cases

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Or GWS only wanted next years second rounder for some reason.

Surely collingwood receive it back in the treloar trade given they'll lose their 2016 first

 

[happy_knackers]

Has Kerridge actually said he wants to leave or is everyone just assuming he is going because Carlton want him and we haven't re-signed him yet?

Yes

 

[hey shorty]

Think 2nd rounder is overs personally for Curtley. Given some of the trades though it appears everyone is happy paying overs.
