Combined Trades Thread

As I said in another thread, I believe that it was part of a deal to secure a earlier pick to on sell as part of another deal that didn't get over the line.

Very possible the extra pick was a play for Ray Hall, which Richomd balked at before the deadline.

Looks likley we will add McGlone & James from the rookie list delist one further player (probably Bucky) and take three picks in the draft.

We all now need to pray that Schuable, Bolton, Barry & Saddington stand up next year and either Hunt or Powell come on in a hurry.

You actually know this, or are you just speculating?

Speculating, but it stands to reason pick 45 for Stevens thats it turn it up, remeber that every pick you trade for you must use so were we that desperate to get pick 45, see my point.

I'm not aware of any rule stipulating that you must use every pick you trade for. It doesn't matter though - you have to use at least three and #45 is our third pick.

Is Ray Hall out of contract at Richmond? If so, we may still be a small chance to pick him up in the PSD - although I'd be surprised if one of Geelong or Melbourne didn't get in first.

aha, maybe thats the plan, hall will nominate for the draft and we pick him up at 45???

there has to be a point to this! seems rather confusing at this stage!!!

45 was Kel's original number before he changed to 14. It is also a multiple of 9 which symbolises power in Chinese astrology.

Can't think of any other reasons for this brainwave.

Not to mention Irish luck - maybe we've uncovered a nest of Irish midfielding leprachauns and we need the extra draft pocks.

Gee I thought I was confused before?......

Must be some backgroung stuff going on. (You promise not to tell and I could make it up..............)

Part of the Lynch master game plan - Roosy mate + silly draft moves = Lynchy being rumored to be either retiring or ..... means that after the contract is quashed with brissy - he nominates for the preseason draft and is selected with selection 45 becoming a Swan therefore reconnecting the Roy boy theme we have adopted..... (Roos, Lyons and Lynch?????) Warfe hasn't been sacked either.......?

Think It was on the AFL web site

[chammond]

Has anyone got even a halfway reasonable explanation why Stevens would have been traded for pick 45?

[Steve]

Let's just wait and see what happens on draft day.

From all that we've read and heard, Sydney was pretty much trying to get an extra 3rd round pick the whole week - tried with Seymour/Warfe/Nicks for Carlton's etc.

There must be a reason for that.

A F/S that no-one has spoken about yet? (Very doubtful)

Are there a couple of young players they're interested in confident will be around at that stage but not by their next pick at 63? (Quite possible)

Do they have their eye on a more mature (ie. not u/18) former AFL, VFL, SANFL, WAFL etc player who they'll pick up later in the draft, but they didn't think would get through to pick 63? (Doubtful but not impossible)

The other reason which has been mentioned is that they did the deal hoping to do another which might have added some more overall value - I personally doubt it but who knows.

Obviously there is more than meets the eye - perhaps we're looking at someone from SA who we thought would go in the 2nd round, and considering Adelaide and Port had picks 29 and 30 (ahead of our 31) we thought this deal would get in ahead of them?

I doubt we'll hear any in-depth reasoning until after the draft.

[liz]

Maybe they were going to delist Stevens if they couldn't trade him so decided to just see if they could get anything at all.

[caj23]

Surely we could have got a better deal than pick 45 though, port offloaded morgan to the doggies for 34 and stevens has shown much more than him

i'm struggling to see any logic in this trade, especially when scotty finally showed a bit of potential in the most important game of the year

I have a feeling this trade was done so that we can on-trade the pick that Adelaide gave us to Richmond for Ray Hall. Im not sure what Ray Hall is worth, but I'd imagine Richmond would be lucky to get a second round pick for him. Maybe Sydney was looking at giving pick 45 or 48 (or both?) for Ray Hall, but wasnt able to get the deal done in time. Or maybe Richmond changed their minds and decided to keep him.

I too, cant see the logic of giving up Stevens for pick 45. He is definately worth more than that, seeing as he is still young, and plays tall(ish) as well.

[gossipcom]

I'm going to ask a really dumb question so excuse my ignorance here

If a club delists a player now can they nominate for the draft? Or is it too late all together?
