Re: Off Season Targets
The bigfooty rumour is saying that GWS have offered Caldwell something like three million over five years.
Rather large deal for a 20yo that has played eleven games.
Would be irresponsible to go near that.

Re: Off Season Targets
If they keep Cameron, each over payment of a young kid opens up the opportunity for another more established player to leave.
The issue GWS have is no/few foot soldiers, which means few on average or just below average money. DeBoer is one , but lack players like Kent, Lonie , Geary, Webster, Savage etc. as they have had so many first and second round picks.
Something has to fall off the tree just need to hope it is what we need and we are there to catch it.

Re: Off Season Targets
It might be wishful thinking but it is certainly not delusional. The carrot for Adelaide is that they improve their pick 20 to pick 14 but sacrifice pick 44. And the carrot for Port is they improve their pick 26 to pick 20 but downgrade two of their lower picks. They might be tempted if they want certain players and want to boos their chances of getting them. You just never know.diddley wrote: ↑Wed 30 Sep 2020 8:58pmI read your other post, and decided to let it go, as I think it is delusional. But as you have dragged it into a second post, I will address it.SaintPelican66 wrote: ↑Wed 30 Sep 2020 5:12pmWe were never going to get him for a second round pick. They would already be spewing about Steele so I don't think they would be as accomodating this time around unfortunately. In my opinion, they will not accept anything over pick 20.
That's why I posted this in a seperate thread.........
Picks in hand 14, 58, 73, 86 Total points 1,340
**************************************************
Adelaide get pick 14 (1161 points)
St Kilda get pick 20 (912 points) & pick 44 (362 points) Total points 1,274
St Kilda profit by 113 points
Picks in hand 20, 40, 58, 73, 86
**************************************************
Port Adelaide get pick 20 (912 points) & pick 58 (170 points) & 73 (9 points) Total points 1,091
St kilda get pick 26 (729 points) & pick 50 (273 points) & pick 55 (207 points) Total points 1,209
St Kilda profit by 118 points
Picks in hand 26, 40, 50 , 55, 86
**************************************************
Original hand 14, 58, 73, 86 Total points 1,340
New hand 26, 40, 50 , 55, 86 Total points 1,638
If we were able to do all this then the next step would be to package up 40, 50 and 55 (909 points) and trade with a team that needs lower picks for their academy or Father Son players. eg Brisbane pick 19 (948 points)
Original hand 14, 58, 73, 86 Total points 1,340
Final hand 19, 26, 86 Total points 1,677
pick 19 for Caldwell
Pick 26 plus next year's FRDP for Taranto.
Trades need to have a positive for both sides. Even the trade we did with Hawthorn a couple of years ago had something that Hawthorn wanted. The end goal was to get O’Meara. They got him with the picks we traded to them.
In all 3 trades you have proposed, the other team has lost out. The only time this happens, is when a team has someone specific in mind to grab at that pick, normally a draft choice. This can now happen on trade night, so doing a chain of pick-bundling will not happen to create a player trade, which is what your finishing suggestion, and your ultimate goal.
Secondly, they would not have thought about losing Steele for the past few years. He played 17 games for them, and now almost 80 for us over 4 seasons. They have traded out other star studded midfielders like Treloar, Adams and Shiel, and they have profited highly because of it, all while keeping many other A grade players. And they took them to a Grand Final just last year. It is part of their blueprint for the past 5+ years. They have managed to turn the trades into other great players, and some that were not so great.
Lastly, pick 26 + 2021 frdp (potentially pick 12-18) is not enough to pry a former number 2 pick that is 22 years old and their reigning b&f. Even if he requested it.
Also, I find it ironic that you have suggested multiple chains of trades, to land Caldwell with pick 19, which was a correction to my suggestion to land him with pick 19.
Can you see where I am coming from now diddley? If you still think I'm being delusional that's ok.

Just wanted to pass on some information to you guys. Forget discussing trades for any of the GWS mids. I’ve been told by an extremely reliable source at Collingwood that you guys literally have a handshake agreement with Collingwood for a trade for Trealor. They’re desperate to clear up salary cap space to target a tall forward. Also, you guys are also going hard at De Goey. And have made an offer he’s weighing up which is a hell of a lot more than what Collingwood have offered. North and Essendon have also made offers but he wants to play finals.
Will keep you updated when I hear anything else.

Re: Off Season Targets
I wonder if Collingwood are the smokey in chasing Jeremy Cameron. It would make the need to off load Treloar for salary cap relief more plausible.
