Trade week thread #2

[Freddy Bassett]

Maybe because we might be picking up the Palmer compensation pick from GWS. We are keen to get as many compo picks as we can.

We might be flogging off picks 10, 24 and Davis Compo pick for Luke Brown, pick #2 in mini draft and Palmer compo pick (end of first round). Gives us a bit more flexibility going forward both in trades and drafts.

Yep. Would make sense and that does sound fair.

Too much smoke and nothing happening! Calm before the storm...... ( I say this every trade week)

perhaps.

it just seems to be going way too slow.

 

[Gets!]

I can't take this pressure

yep without TWR at work it doesn't help

worked from home on tuesday and got a shit load done purely because I had TWR on.

IMO the guts of the deal would have been agreed - last night even.

What's taking the time IMO is the posturing and horse trading for the accessories to the main deal. Sort of like steak knives, but good quality ones.

I think it's pretty set what we'll be giving up, the variable is what we can wheedle out of it besides #2 in the mini-draft and Brown.

Eg Freo's compo pick, a draft pick between 15 and 25, another pre-listed player?

IMO there's no risk that the deal won't go through - it's just two good horse traders thrashing out the balancing items to us.

Noble on Trade Week Radio @ 12.50 Adelaide time today - Wallace reckons the deal is all but done and its just postering for picks and such now as Melbourne have moved on to Mitch Clark and the cats and dogs seem content with what they have now

This.

We'll be getting MD#2, we're just working out specifics. Both clubs can benefit from this.

 

[ams4crows]

even if we got freo's compo pick (end of first round) wouldn't it be between 19 and 25? as there are now 18 teams in the comp and they all get a pick before these compo's

So what are we going to gain and what are we going to lose from this deal

It's variable until it's done.

We'll tell you after it has been done.

Ralph's mail has an abominably low success rate. I reckon I could become "Rumour Cmndstab" and simply forward them links to rumour threads on Bigfooty and have a higher hit rate than Ralph.
