Analysis The trading game

[Old Spice]

I can't make up my mind this year on trade prospects, I really can't. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

With that in mind I'm interested to learn from posters what type of players you are interested in during the trade period, but also what they'd cost in terms of: wage, picks and trades, list benefit, list problem, cap implications and culture. I've bolded the categories to fill in.

Be interested to see how others see it. Can certainly group two or more players together but be mindful of the cap constraints and what potential draftees add to the team.

I've assumed here that we have $1.5 - 2 million cap space for 2016 but we won't have that going forward. A high wage will push out some older or younger player(s).

I've provided some examples below.

****

SCENARIO 1

Target: Motlop

Estimated wage: 600k

Trade
Dees gain: Kennedy
Dees lose: 2nd round (@23)
Cats gain: Dees 2nd round, Pie's 2nd round (@30)
Cats lose: Motlop
Pies gain: Motlop
Pies lose: Kennedy, 2nd round

List benefits: provides outside finish and pace
List problems: loss of small mid/fwd
Draft cost: pick 2, Kennedy
Cap Implications: medium-high, could fit another medium cost player
Culture issues: potential drinking/behaviour issue

SCENARIO 2

Target: Dixon

Estimated wage: 700k

Trade
GCS gain: Pies 1st pick (@12), Pies 3rd round
Pies gain: Dixon

List benefits: provides a massive forward foil for Cloke and allows White to play 3rd tall/relief ruck
List problems: potentially pushes a ruck out or White
Draft cost: Lose picks 1, 3
Cap Implications: medium-high, could fit another medium cost player
Culture issues: see Motlop

SCENARIO 3

Target: Dangerfield

Estimated wage: 900k

Trade
N/A: Free Agent

List benefits: provides inside work, pace and forward marking ability
List problems: pushes out developing mid
Draft cost: nil
Cap Implications: high, could fit another low-medium cost player
Culture issues: potential flog

dixon or dangerfield would be extremely handy, motlop wouldnt be to bad.

Why do you have it as a list problem if it pushes White out of the team? Doesn't that make it a list benefit?

Why do you have it as a list problem if it pushes White out of the team? Doesn't that make it a list benefit?

As I said, potentially pushes out 'a ruck or White'.

Getting Dixon would mean Cloke, Dixon and either a resting ruck or White as KP players. White as a 3rd tall might be great and allow us to use him as a relief ruck. Otherwise we use Cloke, Dixon and Witts/Grundy.

I'm not that hot on our rucks as 3rd talls. I'd prefer Cloke, Dixon, White over Cloke, Dixon and Witts/Grundy.

Feel free to provide your forward line combo.

Listening to the radio on the way home, seems a decision on future draft pick trading will be made next week and could be implemented for this year.
So what trades would you do knowing we can trade away next years picks aswell?

Daicos and Brown I think can be drafted in the 2016 draft so we wouldnt want to give everything away and then needed to trade out someone to come up with the required points, although by then we can also use the 2017 draft picks.

 

[left at home]

if we can future picks I wonder if the great one will try and get some for next year as he said he loved the idea.
Dixon and dander would be nice

Witts and 1st rounder for Treloar is a Monty

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Witts and 1st rounder for Treloar is a Monty

If Treloar tells them he wants out, Witts AND our first rounder seems excessive.
