2015 Trade Week-Done Deals

[Ian4]

We're taking a calculated gamble I reckon. We have 4 players who have played in the ruck at AFL Senior level. iVan, Hamster, Plasma and Big Ben. Soldo as a rookie. It's a calculated risk the club is taking.

how did they all go against Goldstein in the EF?

 

[Baloo]

Which if the ruckmen floating in this trade period would have helped against Goldstein.

none perhaps, but surely this highlights the need to strengthen in that area? I would have chased smith FYI.

 

[Baloo]

Agree, but getting in another average ruckman isn't strengthening anything. Its adding depth, not capability

 

[Giardiasis]

Trade completed - Collingwood send Nathan Freeman and pick 68 to St.Kilda for 2016 2nd rounder + pick 63.

 

[tigersnake]

Confirmed deal, we get pick 19 for this years and next years second round picks. Part of Dixon to Port deal

Not sure I like this, need to digest. Two second rounders, seems overs for Yarran.

Next years draft is super strong. Hmm....

 

[Tigers of Old]

Depends where we finish in 2016 a bit..
I like that we're keeping 12.

fair enough. I reckon its thereabouts. Unless we plummet down the ladder next year. You have to balance what you need now with what you'll need in the future. Plus we can always trade back in depending on how things pan out.

5 years for Dixon.

Maybe Andrew Moore on the cheap as well, for helping Port out.

I'm not sure the ruckman who floated around were good. Average, OK, injury clouds. None stood out as a gun we must have.

What's the calculated gamble? Maric has a year left max. Hamster just aint any good. Plasma was used sparingly in the ruck, they don't want to use him there (or he doesn't want to play there) Griffiths will never be more than a pinch-hitting ruckman. Solod? Forget it is never gonna happen. The cupboard is bare. Smith would have been a calculated gamble and a good pick up imo, especially for picks 49 and 53. Geelong have killed the trade period once again.

Yeah, think your right. This years pick, I’m fine with, it’s losing next years that’s a concern. But I don’t get why we do the deal without Carlton green lighting it?

We’ve traded to go up 12 odd spots and given away a pick in a strong draft and it still won’t get Yarran. Just seems reckless, something’s off.

Source ?

 

[jb03]

Source ?

Carlton are stating they still want pick 12 aren't they? Seems like a fair source.

Doesn't trading up in a weak draft make sense? If next year is a strong draft, as purported by some, if we can trade back in for 2nd and 3rd rounders, they could still be valuable.

 

[Tigaman]

Carlton wanted to move Yarran on under Mickey etc but does new regime want to?. Do not think so but if they get him for Tigers first round pick I do think Tigers will have done ok as we now have pick 19. Give them the 12 & throw in a Griff,Titch,Conca,Astbury for another reasonable trade pick.

 

[Conan]

Confirmed deal, we get pick 19 for this years and next years second round picks. Part of Dixon to Port deal

Knowing our luck we will finish last and it will be about pick 19

 

[K3]

Didn't they previously state, to the media, that they wanted a pick in the 15-20 range for Yarran? Sauce getting bubbles in it...

 

[pumped]

Carlisle a Saint in exchange for pick 5 to Essendon and 24 to the Swans, then Essendon.

Swans coughed up Craig Bird & pick 14 (to St Kilda) and receive picks 23 and 44 (from Essendon).

Essendon get picks 5, 24 and Craig Bird.
St Kilda get Carlisle and Sydney's pick 14.
Sydney get 23 and 44 from Essendon.

Saints done well.
