List Mgmt. Trade/Draft SuperMegaUltraThread - 2016 edition?

[Miguel Sanchez]

Here's a hypothetical...

Gaff is still unsigned. Essendon have chased him in the past, and have indicated that pick 1 (assuming they get it) will be on the table.

Q1. What kind of Gaff-related deal would you be prepared to do to get that pick?
Q2. Who would you pick at #1?

 

[kane249]

Gaff + second rounder for Pick 1 and third rounder

Gaff on his own not worth pick 1 IMO

With pick 1 best available mid

 

[Biggie]

Gaff for #1 pick?

I'm all in.

 

[JackOutback]

Gaff for #1 pick?

I'm all in.

Trade a proven player for the hope of a proven player? What could go wrong?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Gaff + second rounder for Pick 1 and third rounder

Gaff on his own not worth pick 1 IMO

Yeah I should have said I don't think we'd get a straight swap, we'd have to give up something else.

Don't think that deal does it either though. Gaff plus ~30 for 1 and ~40?

Yeah probably wishful thinking on my part

 

[WCErevival]

Gaff + Lucas for Pick 1

 

[Biggie]

Trade a proven player for the hope of a proven player? What could go wrong?

Always a risk but:

1. Hasn't signed.
2. If he wants to go, what choice do we have?
3. Would be the very best outcome I would think?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Gaff plus pick ~12 for picks 1 and 19?

 

[avishka5]

Haven't checked out much local talent for a few years now. Not on the footy field anyway.

nah im not a local footy person but used to stumble on to SANFL games time to time and also was dragged by mates to watch the redlegs.

 

[avishka5]

Would be absolutely gutted to lose gaffy as he is one of my faves but if it could net us a gun inside mid through trade or draft, then i would be happy to trade him.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Gaff plus pick ~12 for picks 1 and 19?

Sounds ok to me but our recruiters will likely **** it up and then in a few years time wish Gaff stayed.
I do however recognise we won't lure elite talent over here so its best to build through the draft.

 

[SpaceClef]

Would be happy to get #1 for Gaff and a swap of picks presuming he wanted out.

He's not really what they need though so I'd be surprised if they did it.

They might do Ess 1st and 2nd round picks for Gaff and WC first round. Wait - that's what Fivey said, right?

 

[JackOutback]

Always a risk but:

1. Hasn't signed.
2. If he wants to go, what choice do we have?
3. Would be the very best outcome I would think?

If 2 is true, then absolutely. Otherwise I would be trying to get him to re-sign.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Draft watchers, if we did get pick 1 in a Gaff trade, would you go for local boy Petrevski-Seton or someone else?

 

[WCE_phil]

You all do realise essendon are absolute campaigners at the trade table right. They will offer their second rounder + howlett for gaff.

 

[Pat_Footy]

Gaff plus pick ~12 for picks 1 and 19?

Gaff would be pick 19 and later picks.

People on this forum are just delusional. Pick 1 won't be traded.

 

[avishka5]

Draft watchers, if we did get pick 1 in a Gaff trade, would you go for local boy Petrevski-Seton or someone else?

i think that will be the likely scenario. we seem to go into a shell a bit when a gun interstate player leaves but i would like us to go after an inside mid like a brodie or hugh mcclucage.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Gaff would be pick 19 and later picks.

People on this forum are just delusional. Pick 1 won't be traded.

Pick 1 kid for an AA and a consistent 30+ pos wingman, come on mate.

 

[avishka5]

Gaff would be pick 19 and later picks.

People on this forum are just delusional. Pick 1 won't be traded.

pick 1 is delusional but a second round pick for him is also delusional. 23 year old with AA and club champ already next his name and just about the best wingmen in the comp. we would get a top 10 if not a top 15 pick for him.

 

[WCErevival]

He was pick 4 originally too

wont be surprised if our recruiting team had something to do with the confusion.

Re Essendon and Gaff
Straight Gaff for pick 1 and we probably have to give something back like our 2nd for Dons 3rd

We could also do a Lamb/Gaff combo whereby we get pick 1 and their third rounder. That would deliver us SPS and one of Goddard/Bolton/Banfield

Do I want SPS? Yes.
Is he compensation for Gaff? Yes but only at a last resort if the offer to go home was so big.
We are using Gaff in the centre and he is not delivering. We should play him and price him as an outside mid where he belongs.

What would pick1 and swapping picks mean with the draft? Seen a bit of the Colts and U18 carnival plus have mates in Melbourne that I communicate with so here is my take on the draft that might help shape what swaps mean (reality check - we still have a fair bit more of the carnival to go plus the Private school talent is often held back until 2H especially in Melbourne and the boys will all grow/mature a bit i,.e. nobody was talking Oliver this time last year)

2016 Draft Personal Views
1. Strong midfield talent this year that runs deep through to the end of third round. There will be Nelsons at 50 again this year.
2. Loads of academy talent and they have the talls and a number of first rounders so they be busy.
3. If you want talls you will need to go earlier than they are probably worth as they are scarce espcially forwards. Expect Strnadica, Goddard and English from WA as possibly early 2nd rounders and depends on 2H carnival and season may be called out earlier
4. Non academy currently speculated first round is pretty closely cropped meaning not a lot of difference between what you get at 6 through to 15 so you will need to have a real target in mind to buy in earlier in the draft
5. There are no obvious Weitering or Hogan franchise KPP's that would entice me to trade up. They might eventuate but cannot see them now.

Gaff would be pick 19 and later picks.

People on this forum are just delusional. Pick 1 won't be traded.

The senior coach of the team who is set to end up with pick 1 has said its on the table.

A 23 year old AA and club champion would be one guy that could pry it out of them I'd have thought.

If you'd trade Gaff for pick 19 and change I don't think you're in a position to be calling others delusional.

Props to SEN for actually knowing what a "sliding-doors moment" is. Now could someone explain it to Damien Barrett?
