2023 List Management

If Stephens did go to North, what would he be worth? Could he be used to get someone like McKay?

Alternatively, what would he be worth to NM in straight draft picks? They have picks 2, 15, 39 etc. Surely pick 15 might come into consideration as we used pick 5 on him.

We only got a pick in the teens for Dawson when he left. We’d be lucky to get something in the 20s.

What would we give for Paddy Dow ?
Stephens gets us about 1/3 of that

Stephens for Mackay or Sheezel. Plus we’d throw in Clarke to sweeten the deal!????

From what I understand from GWS, is they could ride out Hayes pay next year, but it won't allow them to go after anyone at trade time. So they aren't desperate like GC were with Bowes.
However, definitely open to a deal especially with HH taking over Haynes role in the last couple of years.

I'm writing hypothetically here...

The draft appears to have 11 players rated significantly above the rest, so pick 15 may be on the table for the right price.

Assuming West Coast retains pick 1, pick 15 would be tradeable. I would expect a discussion on trading Stephens to start with pick 15 and then go from there. North currently lack a second-round pick in this year's draft so that is not an option.

In addition to pick 15, a swap of later picks may get the deal done. How it would go would be if 15 is considered to be overs or unders. If it's overs, 15 and 39 for Stephens and 28 may be enough (points value around pick 22). If 15 is unders, 15 and 39 for Stephens may be the limit (points value around pick 8). I consider such a trade to be unlikely.

Another possibility could be North's future second-round pick. If North finish last next year, that pick would be valuable.

We used pick 5 to draft him, but that is irrelevant - it's what we would get in a trade that matters.

[waswan]

we get a 3rd round upgrade if we are lucky or he goes to them in pre season draft

uncontracted, rarely played....we have no pull in this one

Why wouldn’t he just nominate for the recycled player draft and take him for nothing ? That seems more logical to me.

[sharp9]

But wait, surely we took Caleb Serong with Pick 6 in the 2019 draft. Yea the legendary CURSED pick 6 which hath never delivers a champion player. ????

[BRS328]

5th round draft pick and that would be generous

[Roadrunner]

5th round draft pick and that would be generous

No, we’ll keep him as our permanent sub????

[BRS328]

I need to make a correction. My 5th round pick was for Paddy Dow, not Stephens. I rate Stephens and would be reluctant to loose him. He gave us a glimpse in the last quarter last week. My apologies

[Mark26]

I get the feeling that if Stephen goes, then pick 15 should be around the money or if we can use him to get Mackay, then that softens the loss.

If I were you id go on holiday during trade period

Anything more than a 3rd round pick and id be staggered

[Auntie.Gerald]

Pick for Stephen’s would be trade of the decade or in the top10 anyway

If take it if it meant to can trade what we really really really need to be a top4 team in 2024 and rightfully so given the list bar a couple chess pieces

Otherwise ……if not possible ….If we have a couple injuries to BJ and or Jmac and or Gulden then keeping Stephen’s would be very very handy …….. and as we all know he is at that age and experience where lucks a fortune and he make double down and find himself in the best 22 more often.

[Ludwig]

My feeling is that the AFL will hand over pick 3 compo for McKay to NM in lieu of a priority pick for being so bad. If so, then NM would be happy to let him go as a FA and not match a bid for him.

I hope Stephens has a good game Saturday and can hold a spot in the side, which should increase his trade value. Right now, we would be very lucky to get a 2nd rounder. I can't see him improving enough for us to want to keep him, but I hope he gives it a shot.
