Trade Week - Richmond Only

The interesting thing about the West Coast/Carlton trade is that it sets a new benchmark for the possible pick #2 split.

Suddenly, for example, picks #10 and #11 could be the basis of an offer that gets it done.

If obtaining pick #2 didn't involve us giving up pick #6, it'd be a tempting proposition.
If we have 8 picks in the first 24, can keep pick 6 and get pick 2 it would have to be worth looking into. We'd at least still have 6 or 7 top picks, not putting all our eggs in one basket like Carlton

Yep.
Imagine if West Coast didn’t come knocking on his door.
He’d still be in charge of recruiting at Richmond.
We dodged a bullet.
That is a shocking trade for WC.

Would have been nice to get pick 3.
Carlton have done very nicely, unfortunately.
Context before we start drinking the Carlton bath water.

They have paid their F1 and F2 plus Owies to move up 9 spots in the draft. It may have been worth it but it’s a big price.

West coast ended up giving us Hawthorn’s pick 14 anyway. They got Baker and Owies for a 9 spot drop in the draft. They still have to deal on Barass.

We could sell our pick #1 to Carlton for picks 3 and 12. Assuming we get 10+18 for Bolton, that would leave us with 3, 6, 10, 12, 14, 18 plus the picks in the 20s

Will believe the Baker trade (and others) once they are lodged.

Too many deals have fallen over late already.

Don’t give them anything back if we only get P6 and P23 for Rioli
It seems likely that Blair kept 51 and 61 for just this scenario, and will send them back to get this deal through.
Bolton for 11 and 12 is also as low as we will go.

Looking like West Coast will split 3 in order to get Baker. Futures are flying around and one of ours might see pick 3 finish with us.

Also it won’t surprise if we bid on both Ashcroft and Marshall. Ashcroft at 1 might see us wind up with a later successful bid on Marshall who I believe we should also be looking at.
