Trade Week - Richmond Only

[Brodders17]

That could be a possibility.

6 and 20 for 2 and F2
6 and 11 for 2 and F1 also in play I reckon

Redders has proposed 10 and 18 for 2 I think, probably less of a chance as it reduces the likelihood of North Getting Tauru

Reckon North will still be weighing up FOS against Tauru too, as they could play FOS off a HFF to start with and not impact their mid rotations but I think they know that their list is aging somewhat from an age perspective (its why I think they will allow LDU to leave and I reckon they'd be open to Larkey - seems strange, but Larkey is 26 now, starting next year at nearly 27, if they don't improve a lot next year he will be nearly 28 going into 2026, does his age count him out in their rebuild timeline? Possibly, so I think thats why they are desperate for talls. Personally if I'm North, I'm doing the 6 and 11 for 2 and F1 deal and pushing for Tauru and Armstrong as their 2 this year.

yeah, id be happy with either of those, but my preference is 6 &11 and 2 and F1. No idea if it is an option but seems feasible to me.

Then 10 &23 for 7 and 32 from Saints?
Or 18 & 20 for just 7?- i cant see the Saints going for that. (there may be a trade thread somewhere to continue this convo....)

With 10 high value picks spread across 2 drafts, it'd be great to turn picks like 20 and 24 this year into picks half their size next year. We stand to increase the overall quality of those 10 picks without lowering the quantity, which would be brilliant if we could pull it off

I'm saying that they need to get their heads around whether Tauru is all that and more, or, if in fact 10 and 18 (or 11 and 18) is a better option and is likely to provide a better return on investment.

Be staggered if they allow LDU to go. He's just turned 25 so has what nearly 10 years left. Crazy if they do.

Reckon it's the opposite, they are trying to climb next year (getting older guys in, trying to trade into this draft etc) so he see's some light and signs on. He's pivotal.

Posted before but expect North will be offering him 8 years at what $11 to $12M.

Crazy to give up 6 and another for 2.
Crazy to give up any other two picks if the trade doesn’t include 2 and future 1st.
Would such a trade be weighted in our favour .. of course but no more than reasonable given the strength of our position
The way it stands we get two f the best 6 in a draft where you can throw a blanket over the first 6.
And if we do trade 6 we have no idea what the future pick will bring.
Nice to dream but dreaming may leads to a significant loss.

Yep understand, I just reckon they will see it as too big a risk, especially with that 7-15 area of the draft so fluid. There are several players in that top group that are of zero value to them, Jagga, Draper, Smillie, these are all guys that would add very little value to their list, due to the way they have built the list. I think they would want 6, and if someone takes Tauru before them, then they probably trade back again to add picks and get Armstrong and then maybe Whitlock and someone else.

Their strategy this year is all around talls, especially if Leysy is right and they plan to keep LDU.

 

[LOZWILDA]

futures and pick 62

Future 3rd & 4th. Not much at all.
They can’t trade future 1st because they have traded future 2nd already.
Can’t see how they do a trade to help North get a later pick in the first round.

I would do those trades, I reckon we can get slightly better value out of the North deal with Port involved.

Ports 13 and 29 for 11.
Then 6 and 13 for Norths 2 and F1
Then as you say 7 and 32 for 10 and 23

Leaves us with

1, 2, 7, 18, 20, 24, 29 and 32 along with Norths F1

The more I'm looking at phantom drafts, and whilst I like those players in the 10-15 range, that to me is where the 2 for 1 for a list like we have is massive upside.

Ie. lets say we didn't do the North deal but did the Port one. Allan or Travaglia, or a combo (2) of Shanahan, Faull, Sims, Gerreyn etc. I'd be taking the 2 for 1 for where our list is at.

I think I'm coming to the decision that my preference is as many picks in the 1st 7 as possible, then picks from 18-30 odd are where we gain the value. We can still decide on the trade value of moving 1 or 2 of those picks into next years draft and still taking 6-8 picks this year.

I now think unless North think they can get Tauru with the trade, they'll keep #2 and grab one of the best midfielders. That's not so good for us at Pick#6 as for me 2 of Lalor, FOS, Jagga, Langford is the win. But here's hoping.

I think this is the way we have to look at it.
What type of players are available and when.
Sure we could possibly grab Armstrong at 6, but we're better to get a similar tall at 18 (imo JW will be gone, and maybe Shanahan. But MW and Faull still available)
We could grab a hbf in Trav at 10, but there are others later and other priorities.
Or similarly a small forward at 11.

At 10/11 I like Allan and was hoping Lindsay was there but thats now unlikely.
So these picks are the most expendable for us.
6 too might be a fraction short of a top mid, if there isnt a slider. That'd be a shame

 

[Tigerwa]

Yeah, what TOT says is a fantastic idea but it is draft tampering. I have no idea how much risk there is in it but there is no doubt what it is.

However equally I can see a very similar scenario playing out. If no bids have come for Lombard or Kako by the time the draft gets to pick 10/11 I have no doubt we will have those clubs coming hard for them with some very juicy deals and taking a call with an offer is not draft tampering. I suspect clubs will come to us all night for our picks but the deals will get less juicy as the night progresses, but probably delicious all the same.

It will be a judgement call.

If Lombard is there at 10/11 then i think we really should take him there. I would not be surprised if he is not on our radar at 6.

We can bid on him but we won't take him because the Suns will match

 

[turk-d-tiger]

Teams like St Kilda , Essendon , West Coast ,North will be desperate to get back into this years draft with their future 1st round picks
We really should be targeting 2 of these picks prefer North & Eagles , Bombers

They wont have another team thats prepared to trade for their F1's apart from GWS , Sydney & Richmond
GWS have 6 list spots to fill so wont want to lose theur current #15 , #16
Sydney wont mind losing 1 but not both

We are in a very good position to facilitate this
But i would be looking to move #10 for Ports #13 + #29 first and try to entice Bombers to trade #28 + #31 for our F2
