Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

[Nat Fyfe]

It seems like it's common knowledge amongst clubs at the top end that:

1) North will get #1 and draft Reid
2) WC will get #2 & #3 and draft Curtin and McKercher
3) Hawthorn will draft Duursma at #4

Otherwise the bulldogs have completely misread the situation in doing the deal they did to move up.

There’s basically two likely outcomes from here -
1) North take Curtin + McKercher, meaning you take Duursma and we get Watson.
2) North take Curtin + Duursma, meaning you take Watson and we get McKercher.

Both are great outcomes for the Dogs, so can’t imagine the club is worried either way

Agree. But this Tassie team worries me re McKercher. AFL will pay him $1.2m a year to relocate back to em in 2028.

Yeah whichever team takes him will probably get ****ed by mediocre compensation when Tassie comes in (we “only” got Pick 6 for Callan Ward when GWS took him) but I’m also pretty confident that he’ll be a gun very early, so at minimum a team is getting 5 years of quality footy before losing him.

My preference is Watson but I can’t imagine the Dogs would be disappointed with either of him or McKercher. The only bad outcome for us is Duursma, as I can’t see him being as productive in the same forward line as Weightman and JUH.

It'll be fine. North will take McKercher in preparation for him being the marquee player in a league mandated merger with the new Tassie team when they're still cellar dwellers in 4 years time.

Hawthorn trade Pick 44 and a Future third to the Suns.
Suns Trade Chol to Hawthorn
Richmond trade Future third to Hawthorn.

Have we ever held onto a player that’s requested a trade? Don’t think can remember ever happening at hawks.

If we rate him surely we can match Brisbanes offer with a bunch of clauses for the third year.

I've had a cheeky Google and can't find this news anywhere? Why are Richmond involved here?

This. I’m all for being fair to a kid trying to get home to his family - but Ryan was given a chance by us and we desperately need forwards as opposed to Brisbane who need contingencies. If they want him badly then pay up. Pick 30 and Gunston.

HaRdBalL Ned…. I like it

That makes sense. I would've thought we'd be more keen on a pick this year though to make sure we have our points covered.

I’ve actually been saying this to North supporters, if they pick Colby, it’s a directive from head office to make the merge more palatable for them.

 

[Hawk1986]

Sorry how do they get him?

Do a Geelong. He is contracted so keep him to his contract unless massive overs (F1)

Brockman could have helped the Hawks a little once Freo came on the scene. But no he could not bluff a little….

Short memory Brocky no one wanted you at the end of the 2022 year and you shafted us!

How old are you?

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I am so sick of the word "reportedly"

 

[grumbleguts]

I still reckon we are an outside chance of getting Pick 1.

The ball is in Norf's court. They either cough up 2&3 meaning we get Duursma or Eagles accept our offer and we get Reid.

Either way a win for us.

Have you considered the third option? West Coast keep pick 1?

 

[LunchboxLegend]

Tell me about it. You can literally say anything, if it’s cloaked in that.

”Leather Poisoning is reportedly a Nazi Sympathiser, more at 11pm”

Yeah but that sentence is in a report! They're the ones doing the reporting!

Pretty hard to deny him a 3 year deal.

Not really, they just need to pony up and give us a deal we can't refuse

 

[Hawkspot]

We get one of Curtin, McKercher, or Watson.

Identifying talent in the draft has been a strength, whoever we pick will be a gun.

Yes I am well aware, I was pointing out that the post ignored the actual pick situations as they actually stand. That the only possible outcome was West Coast trade away their pick one and that's a foregone conclusion.

If I had to guess I reckon he is Phill T on twitter

If you know you know

 

[Mopar Jason]

If Port are unable to successfully trade for Ratugolea does anyone think we might be able to swoop in with a deal that satisfies Geelong or even walk him through to the preseason draft with a heavily front loaded contract

 

[Jethro!]

Do you ever know what reporting is? No, but they do and they're the ones reporting it off.

It's crazy isn't it? Reportedly means they only need to know of one source, that doesn't even need to be reliable.
