Trade period / National Draft 2024

[_RT_]

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Need to package up 2 to 3 picks for Brisbane's first.

True.
Depends what other picks we get (Graham) I guess

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Only if Baker doesn't care which WA side he goes to, if he picks one then the bidding war doesn't eventuate.

If it's Freo they still have too satisfy us.

 

[tiger_tough]

Hello tigers, will you be after players like Perryman, Cumming, Hayward?
All are free agents, some unrestricted.

I'd love Perryman or Cumming on a wing. Hope we're asking the question.

 

[tiger_tough]

Unlikely as we have Jack Graham likely to leave as an UFA. Would lose the compo pick if we picked up another free agent.

Who cares though? Lose a list clogger, gain a starting wingman. That's a win....

 

[Bojangles17]

Baker will get to freo if he wants to go
They have the draft capital to make it happen
I'm sure both parties will come to terms picks wise.

I think so too, it’ll be a fair deal

 

[Bojangles17]

Only if Baker doesn't care which WA side he goes to, if he picks one then the bidding war doesn't eventuate.

Yes it does as freo won’t finish bottom 4 so they need to deal

 

[Bojangles17]

Their 2nd is around 30 from memory.

Pick 8-10 and 30 is a good outcome.

Wait haven’t we already got freo second

True, but Baker is out of contract at seasons end, so it won't be the big deal many expect.

Yes it does as freo won’t finish bottom 4 so they need to deal

They do, but they have 3 R1 picks this year, they'll offer us one of them, most likely their 3rd IMO and we'll get the deal done minimum of fuss. If it's a R1 & R2 pick then I expect we're sending something else back

Wait haven’t we already got freo second

We do, but they have Ports 2nd.

 

[Karp3_dm]

If brisbane keep losing we could end up with two top 10 picks and keep baker

Why?
What’s the deal with Brisbane?

 

[Karp3_dm]

Workmate has been told
Baker off too Freo for a 1st and 2nd

Workmate =

 

[Ctl]

Why?
What’s the deal with Brisbane?

They have a father son in Levi Ashcroft who will probably be a top 3 pick, so they will likely trade their first for points and we are best placed to do that type of trade

 

[juss]

Yeah Nah . He's my roster clerk.lol
Hasn't been with us long but the conversations I've had with him he appears too know people closer too the club .

I've heard too many of these before lol.

I kind of hope you're right though because if true that's a good deal for a departing Baker.

 

[GoTigers2015]

Burn pick 22 and cap space for a B grader, good strategy!!

 

[THE_GUN]

There will be ample lists spots available for 2025 and we should look at targeting some value stock at other clubs. Be very keen to park an eye on Conor Stone from GWS. Cabn't get a game atm but I've watched him in the VFL and he potentially could be an excellent pick up. Very nice mover - plays mid/forward

Conor Stone & Wade Derksen both talented and we should be already in their managers ears
Both would be 3rd rounder type trades and great value with few years already on a AFL list
Derksen cant get a look in with Cadman , Hogan , Riccardi as KPF
Stone was a 1st round selection thats 189cm foward with strength and some mid ability was compared to a De Goey type pre draft

Both 22 years old so young enough and developed for 2025

 

[THE_GUN]

Contracted makes a big difference, clubs aren't obliged to let a player go if they aren't getting a fair deal in return, if an uncontracted player really wants out and his current club won't do the deal they can simply walk to the draft and get to where they want to do. So it doesn't matter if Baker is a better player or not, circumstance dictates that we won't get the type of value some are hoping for.

I think i read these types of posts before and just recently like CCj trade to Norf

Clubs dont work that way specially when they are trying to get a club leader and a premiership player accross
Also the player and his manager wont burn the club that the player will have so many friends both on and off the field
Premiership players have life long ties to the clubs they win with

1st think the manager and player would demand from the new club would be can you and will you be prepared to get this deal done !

 

[GoTigers2015]

Don't be shocked to see us get B.Ellis compo (end of R2) for Graham leaving.

B Ellis compo was a 2nd rounder. Due to us winning the flag it happened to coincide with the end of the 2nd round.

I already conceded that.

I think he's a KB.(Tea Totaller)

Well if he's wrong i'll be demanding compensation in the form of getting every day off the Tigers play.

No doubt a deal will get done if Baker chooses to leave, I just don't believe the compensation will be as high as what a lot are expecting it to be. If he goes to Freo, I think we get their 3rd pick in the first round, if it's the Eagles, then I expect a couple of 2nds (1 this year and 1 next year) with us sending either a later pick this year or swapping 2nds with them in 2025.

 

[beema limapep]

We must be sending something else back as a 1st & 2nd for Baker is overs.

There is no way that is overs. A second would be in the 30s and Freo have 3 first rounders (which they will use at least one for). We might even get two of the late first rounders.

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

We've essentially bottomed out now.

This isn't a dynasty conceding some depth to the opposition for starved opportunity.

We require more aggression at the trade table

Also if our recruiting dept is as s**t as our fitness dept we're gonna wait another 37 years for another flag

Honestly that's probably fair.

Would you be happy if Richmond were to pay a late R1 & mid R2 pick for an above average 173cm utility?
