2020 trade period - all clubs

[707]

The smart Essendon fans would be looking at picks 6, 7 and 8 and speculating about whom they would be recruiting with those picks. Would one of the "Fab 5" still be available? Who would be the best of the rest?

Reckon our draft hand isn't too shabby either in comparison to Essendon, one of the "fab five" at pick 3, Campbell who is in that 6/7/8 bracket plus endurance ball magnet Gulden. Hoping we snare Papley Jnr with a late pick.

Wow, never been a trade period that disastrous for a club as the Pies tonight.

Sounds like they have really messed up salary management, player management and relations with players.

Here's the ABC analysts trade wrap-up with some nice charts. Suggests "middling" for the Swans outcomes is about right.

The 2020 AFL trade period shows some teams are chasing Richmond, others play the long game and Collingwood takes step back

History would show that if you already have the "good" brother , hoping that the other brother is just as good is not a great bet. Id be happy to pass on Papleys brother unless he was lighting up the world. He has already probably gotten further than he deserves through his brothers reputation.

Right on mate. And that's what the trade period gradings miss. For us, it was all about setting up for the draft and getting in someone who can carry the ruck position straight away. We achieved both objectives.

Can't wait for draft night; all prospects at pick 3 are genuinely exciting.

No doubt the swans team will give us A shock by picking someone outside of the fan 5. Let’s hope not [emoji1696]

I share your sentiment - no funkiness, thanks.

Can't believe how bad Collingwood have treated their players. They are facing a lot of backlash from their supporters. Buckley was proven to be a liar and where's Eddie? Normally you can't shut him up.

Me too. Hope we pick up the highly touted mid Hollands.

We were always going to do Pick 3 and the 2 academy boys. Why would the club nurture these boys then do something from left field in trade week?

I have no doubt they will go for the best key position player at Pick 3 or best available.

Even though they have lost good players ... I reckon Treloar and Stephenson are replaceable in their team. And they would perform alright next year. Their problem is not which players they have lost ... but what the morale of the group left over after such a disastrous communication problem.
Interestingly Tom Phillips was happy with how they communicated with him.

I agree, losing those the players isn't going to hurt them much at all. It could have been a lot worse if they lost Cox, degoey, Moore or Grundy etc.

A PR disaster though, and may reflect morale in 2021.

Giants 2021 is really relying on Jesse Hogan firing.im surprised they didn't use those early picks from Geelong to extract a quality player from another club.

No-one wants to play for them, barry.

The deal was finalised and lodged at about 7.29 pm. The trade deadline was 7.30 pm. That doesn't leave much time to negotiate with 16 other clubs for a player.
