Prediction What unexpected trade are you predicting?

[Makeshift Park]

In the quest for picks we may see who wants trading. Roos would pay double what we are. It means Sheezel can play aggressively forward and make them instantly significantly better.

The thread does say unexpected

Don't get me wrong. Injecting Butts () and Scrimshaw into our backline would improve our 2026 stocks immensely. Scrimshaw alone would be a clear upgrade on Pink and Corr.

But its the kind of thing I could only see happening if Hawthorn fancy themselves a serious shot at getting Trac and Merrett. Otherwise, why would you bother?

We can get them anyway. It would be for capital to get Butters.

Big picture dreaming. Butter in our side makes us easily 3 or 4 wins better.

 

[Makeshift Park]

We can get them anyway.

Without losing any players of significance aside from Worpel? I doubt it.

 

[HairyO]

Pick 8 and Worpel comp and borderline players would certainly be involved.

Whether its McKenzie is the one we would be watching most closely. Wouldnt be any of our best 24 unless they really wanted out.

Draft trade
Assuming band 1 compo for Draper

Essendon get picks 1-2
WCE 3-4 + 7
Tigers get 5,6 + 12

Essendon trade up and get Dursma + Duff Tyler

WCE move back and take Farrow (WA kid) + their next highest rated guy and get an extra top 10 pick for their trouble

Tigers get an extra decent first for moving back 1 spot ( 4-5 and 3 spots 3-6) and likely get 1 of the players they wanted possibly both

Are you saying WC would trade 1 and 2 for 3,4 and 7?

 

[jdstorm]

Are you saying WC would trade 1 and 2 for 3,4 and 7?

Yeah basically WCE would choose Farrow and Schubert over Dursma and CDT and get and extra top 10 pick for their trouble.

WCE give up pick 12 (which is >20 after compo picks and academy players)

Might need something extra back from Essendon as steak knives but can’t think of exactly what that would be

Edit:

There’s also rumours that WCE are interested in trading pick 2 to Gold Coast for Ethan Reed.

Suns need points and would be equally likely to accept pick 4 as they would pick 2. Especially if both WCE and Essendon happen not to bid on any of their academy players top 3 (saving them potentially thousands of points)


In that scenario it would be
WCE out 1, Allen compo pick + hawks first
WCE in: pick 3 (Farrow), Ethan Reed and Melbournes pick Via Essendon

Tigers out: Tigers First + North First
Tigers in: Essendon First, Draper Compo + Hawks first

Gold Coast out: Reed
Gold Coast in: Pick 4

Essendon out: Essendon First, Draper Compo and Melbourne First.
Essendon in: Pick 1 + 2

If I were West Coast it would be very tempting to choose Farrow and Reed over CDT and Dursma and get an extra top 10 pick for my trouble

The Ethan Read who dropped uncontested marks last night? Yeah no chance.

That’s just the rumour.

Schubert is also very good in that same role if you don’t want to involve Gold Coast.

Not like Richmond will take him given how they loaded up on talls last year so you’d get him at 10 and get 2 chances at a top 4(7) mid instead of just the one

Convenient rumour that fetches your team top 2 picks

That rumour specifically Doesn’t really have anything to do with us.

Whether you trade pick 2 for someone else or not.

The offer on our end is basically 5/6/7 for 1/2 and trying to find a way (likely including the tigers at 3/4) that your willing to accept the trade back for an extra top 10 pick.

In general I’d be pretty happy with Taylor Cumming and one of Sharpe/robey/farrow

Also wouldnt mind Dursma + CDT think both outcomes are good.

The rumour's Walter, not Read.

WEC won't be trading pick 1 but pick 2 will probably be up for grabs for a decent deal.

My bad can’t keep Gold Coasts Academy KPP straight.

I think every pick is available for the right price.

especially when the pick doesn’t disappear it just goes back a few spots in the same tier of player

is set to request a trade

 

[Mofra]

Shiel to Demons for a token late pick

 

[Mofra]

Perhaps we can add Simpkin to Essendon now. Brad to get on the phone.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Would West Coast be brave enough to take Jamara?? Not very often a player of his quality, a WA kid would be available for a chocolate donut.

Perhaps the issue with JUH was the dogs and his fractured relationship with teammates which was unsalvageable.. out of this environment who knows perhaps he would turn his life around..

I’d give up the hawks third for him and that’s about it. Also would probably give him a 1yr extension with the stipulation that he can be terminated at any point for misconduct

Agree and i think that would get the trade done, the dogs will simply be happy to have them off their payroll.

I suppose for West Coast the risk is the perception of bringing someone of his 'ilk' with his rumoured problems into the culture after you are finally rinsing yourself of the Ben Cousins party club image. As a football decision i think its low risk with potential high reward that could Fastrack your rebuild.

This will be Rosa's first challenge.

Can he save Brad from himself.
