Trade target discussion (merged thread)

[liz]

If a third round pick is all WC offer, as you suggest, then we can turn to Freo...We aren't completely without hand here.

We can also refuse to accept a dud deal, like we did for ROK, and see how that plays out.

The Swans will try to look after Jetta, like we generally do with our trading players.

But at the end of the day, if WC want Jetta, they have to be reasonable or they won't get him.

I don't think the Jetts and O'Keefe situations are that similar. Listening between the words of Jetts' interview on the website, his fianc? wants to move back to WA. It sounds like if were up to him, he'd stay.

Carlton won't pick Mills they need to sell to their member they got the best player and not their second choice like Kenner said.
Brisbane will take Schache they need a key forward they have good academy players coming through so they won't bid on him.
Gold Coast may bid on him but may not considering its pick 3 they want to be able to say they got the third best player.
Essendon definitely won't bid on him because its the first time they are back in the draft for a long time.
He'll likely go pick 5 when St Kilda bid on him if they still hold pick 5 or who ever hold 5 then.

I don't think we'd match Pick 1

Of course we would. You don't run an academy then refuse to take possibly the best player the draft may ever produce!

[Scottee]

Swans seek ruck options - sydneyswans.com.au

Kinnear confirming we are definitely after a ruck man

we rate Josh Dunkley highly - Kenner accidentally called him Jeff

Working on the basis that it was a Freudian slip, who is Geoff?

[Mug Punter]

Of course we would. You don't run an academy then refuse to take possibly the best player the draft may ever produce!

It would be a tough call - I agree it sends a poor message if we don't draft the academy kids who are any good.

He isn't regarded as a #1 Pick by any of the experts so I would regard Carlton drafting him as a phantom pick and I don't think the club is in any position to tolerate phantom picks.

Which makes the scenario of playing hardball with WC all the more effective....Not that I'm advocating it mind you....

Just posing the fact that the Swans do have some hand, and some options, other than just bending over to WC....

The interesting thing is that the further into the draft we get the less likely it will be that Mills will be named as a legitimate rival club selection as he becomes cheaper and cheaper for the Swans and therefore clubs will be even more sure they will be gazzumped.(sp?)

Jetta trade will end in tears, we are not winning or breaking even with this one I fear :-(

You could be correct 707. Just read that the Eagles gave up their first rounder for Redden. Wantaway Lion Redden becomes an Eagle - AFL.com.au The only thing which may suffice now is a straight swap: Jetta for a ruck man.

And mail is Fremantle will give their first round pick this year and next year for McCarthy from GWS. But why should we take second best. If we can't get a decent trade then he stays with us or goes into the draft. Just heard Freo are after Bennell from Gold Coast, so Jetta is way down their shopping list. Gold Coast want a first round pick, which really throws a curve ball at Freo.

[707]

Trade period going badly, can't attract FA Leuenberger, WC say no to a swap of Sinclair for Jetta, now all we need is for Hawthorn to suddenly land a quality player again :-(

Hoping for some better news but sorry, already getting prepared for the worse.

[Auntie.Gerald]

i wonder if WC are releasing a player from their club to another club besides the swans and then give that pick to the Swans ?

[Auntie.Gerald]

ps what compo pick would we get for Jetta if we don't trade ?

after selwood being given around 37 ?

None. He's not a free agent.

[caj23]

Pick 37 nice to see we're not the only team getting screwed by the AFL

Not sure what they were expecting for a bloke who isn't in their best 22
