Ok ok not Richmond related but this trading period has been full on!

According to Cal Twomey, this is where the 3-team trade between Collingwood, Port Adelaide, and the Gold Coast Suns currently sits.

PROGRESS ON SUNS' TIGER TARGET
GOLD Coast is getting close to landing priority target Daniel Rioli, with the Suns set to part with picks No.6 and 23 for the Tigers star.

The deal will also include a swap of later selections that will aid the Suns in their matching of Academy prospect Leo Lombard.

The Tigers have wanted more than pick No.6 for their best-and-fairest winner, who is keen to link back up with Gold Coast coach Damien Hardwick in Queensland.

He has been offered a five-year deal with the Suns.
Absolutely shafted thanks to the media.
Thanks to the rat and the Parrot 🦜
This was meant to be Rioli for 6 & 12
Now it's 6 & 23 with GC getting late picks off us.
We shouldve kept pick 32.

What the hell has Port done?
I thought Ratonmygear Soldo and Therk Thatcher were bad, those 3 are shocking.
The Philosopher will leave Collingwood in a heap in 2yrs time. Absolutely butchered them for the next 10yrs.

Went and watched the Colts and League GF's yesterday.

Claremont's Hamish Davis won the medal for BOG in the Colts GF, he was very good in the 2nd half. He and Hugh Boxshall both got a heep of the ball, Boxshall is a very promising talent. Sibosado is a nice mover, FF Ravenhill took some nice marks and kicked 3 goals. Ruckman Riddle moves well and took some good grabs. I like CHB Clancy Dennis too, I've seen him play a few good games now.

Swan Districts Ottis Harvey tagged Davis, he did ok, is a well built kid, busted through a tackle at pace and kicked a very nice goal. Their ruckman Evan Smith started well, but lowered his colours to Riddle. Full forward Colby McDonald took a very good contented mark and converted, he also plays 2nd ruck, is undersized but has a good leap, might make a good backman.
Boxshall had a blinder in the Wa's state combine yesterday. He ran the 2k in 6:08 which would've have had him finish 2nd in the National Combine. His 7.98 seconds for the agility would had him finish 5th, and his standing vertical jump of 73cm's would've had him 4th in the National Combine.

As well as the Boxshall's athletics attributes he's also a very good footballer.

Could do a lot worse than pick Boxshall or Bo Allan, or both of them.

Clancy of the Overflow. There's another who's a bit under the radar.

NEW developments 😃

Port Adelaide have since changed their stance on the deal - despite the proposal that would see them net three players, a first-round pick and two second-round picks in this year’s draft.

I think one thing everyone can agree upon, is that the AFL trade period is one massive convoluted mess - made even more absurd by the fact that so few trades are actually completed each year.

Compared to other leagues around the world it's totally over engineered and ineffective.

Unusual for the AFL. :rolleyes:

The media's clickbait bs stories, makes it torturous for us footy fans which adds to the "mess".

It's almost as if they think everyone will forget all about footy over summer and stop following it the next year if they don't find a way to shove it down our throats 365 days a year. Reality is the sponsors & broadcasters pay the big bucks for 12 months of content not just 7 months.

Sounds like the one kid who won’t slide is FOS and with Lalor’s injury queries he is the one that may slide out to pick 6 , obviously you take the absolute best with pick 1 and worry about the rest later , however if it’s a toss of the coin in Toce eyes I’m going FOS at 1 .

Would some up our year if who we took at 1 was injury cursed , even the stock piling of later picks to get Brisbanes first couldn’t have turned out worse with them winning the flag .

Didn't realise what an accurate kick Langford was. If he was a touch quicker, he would be the clear number 1 for all clubs. Still looks a gun

Around the time of the champs to me he looked the clear number 1 - admittedly I didn't realise at that time how slow he was.

Yeah l thought he was good at the champs ,looks a winger/flanker type ,,really strong over head and fearless.
I was hoping he might slide through to us later on ,but he's another in the mix for the second round.

Tiger deals on doorstep as Blues pounce on prized pick, forward finds new home — Trade Whispers​


A wantaway Richmond utility is set to get his trade wish as Carlton pounces on one of the draft’s most prized selections.

Meanwhile, the Tigers and Suns are nearing agreement on a price for Daniel Rioli.

 
Port
In: Jack Lukosius, Rory Atkins, Jo Richards , Picks 13, 29, 36
Out: Dan Houston, Picks 39, 58
And they knock that deal back.

Richmond are being told by ther media that Dan Rioli is worth pick 6and 23 and Bolton isn't worth picks 10 and 11.

Even Gold Coat for Lukosius, a player they are throwing all over the place for limited success.
IN: 2 x future first rounders, Pick 39, John Noble
OUT: Lukosius and pick 29
So basically 2 first rounders for a guy that is all over the shop.

It's not enough that the media turn a blind eye to the reaming the AFL give us:
* Umpiring to different standard to other clubs
* Changing every rule under the sun to halt our succes, even to the point of totally changing the look of the game
* A total of 19 Brownlow votes for the whole team in 2024. LDU scored 18 himself in a team that JUST shaded us for the year.
* Almost impossible for us to get a Rising Star nomination ove the last 8 years
* Reamed on free agency compensation every year.

God help us if the AFL decide that in future they will decide what teams have to give up for trades.
We'd be losing Bolton, Baker and Rioli for John Noble and we'd have to give picks to even up the trade.

The Suns would also be trading 13.
