Why not just do paperwork now? There’s 2 more hours …or Wallsy getting stuck into a couple of pizzas on Lygon

11 for 17 and a F1.

Who says no??

Based on the Melbourne, Essendon trade Geelong would need to add more. I expect Geelong to finish top 4 next year





Essendon gives pick 9 and a future third-round pick

Melbourne gives pick 28, 40, 46, 54, 65 and its future first-round pick

11 for 17 and Brad Close.

Shut the door on the Baker discussion and bring in a player better aligned to our needs.

**** being a list manager during trade period sounds like the easiest job in the world, it's a week and a half paid holiday where you really only have to work for the last few hours.

They should call it the AFL Junket round

It would get more interesting if players could be traded without consent.

 

[fnerd]

who gives a **** what some randos on bigfooty think right now anyway? its all speculation on speculation

listen to what brierty was saying, theyre not going to overspend

If they give up all 3 firsts for both (which is widely accepted)with nothing significant back then yeah it’s a major overspend

Unfortunately I go via history and it’s says when bringing in players we want we tend to fold and overspend

My laugh react is actually for Wallsy78 disliking your post.

The players don't earn enough for that. In the NBA there's 29(?) teams so there's about a 3% chance of being drafted to your hometown team so you're almost certainly relocating but you're compensated with millions. If you're drafted in the AFL from Victoria there's a better than 50% chance you'll stay in your home state and the fringe players don't earn enough to just move state to state willy nilly.

I agree, there needs to be an extra zero at the end of player salaries for no consent trades.

I just hope we don’t sell the farm to secure Bolton….

Is he really that much better than Schultz?

And I hope we don’t take on Baker…

Is this a serious question ?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

If nothing else, the crazy amount of no action is going to make for an even crazier last two days.

Well apparently Bolton is done, but they can’t be bothered doing it now so we’ll do it tomorrow rightio.

Who has requested this, the reporters who want to go home?

 

[nurries]

I bet we give more than 10 and 18

 

[theGav56]

Because 12-18 next year is not the same as this year apparently

It certainly isn't for us for a couple of reasons:

• we likely make a play for Warner.
• we have 2 NGA players who project as top 30 picks. Getting ahead of bids or paying for those players is all part of the strategy
• there will be other trade opportunities

This trade period always had the look of having a lot of deals that were going to go down to the wire.

I thought Barrass would get done earlier but Hawthorn had other ideas.

Noble was the other one I expected to be done by now but I think it keeps getting muddled up with the Houston and Lukosius stuff going on. Hope this one gets done soon as it’d really open things up but if it becomes a three way deal I expect it to last until Wednesday.

Dunno about Basil Hart tbh. I haven’t seen his name mentioned as top 30 literally anywhere but on this board.

Toby Whan is literally top 30 anywhere you look.

The real question is if you're being traded in the deal?
