Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Re: Trade Rumours 2024
BLUES, SAINTS HIT STALEMATE OVER KEMP ASKING PRICE
Carlton would trade Brodie Kemp to St Kilda for a mid-20s draft pick but have only been offered a future second-rounder by their former list boss Steve Silvagni.
St Kilda list boss Silvagni has again made a beeline for a player he drafted at Carlton, with Kemp taken at pick 17 in 2019, as he seeks to find a replacement for third defender Josh Battle.
It is understood the Blues would have done the deal for the No.27 draft pick that the Saints had in their possession.
Instead they traded that pick to the Lions in exchange for pick 32 and 45 to get more draft collateral to secure Bulldogs midfielder Jackson Macrae.
The Saints have not offered 32 given they are trying to keep their draft hand intact after picks seven and eight, which they secured through a low ladder finish and the Battle compensation.
So the clubs are at a stalemate given the Blues are not interested at all in future picks and St Kilda seems unwilling to give up a quality 2024 selection.
Even accepting the No.32 draft pick would be problematic for the Blues because there is a chance a club bids on father-son candidate Ben Silvagni before Carlton has a chance to take a player in that part of the draft.
The No.32 pick will stay where it is given four academy players will be taken before it (Levi Ashcroft, Isaac Kako, Leo Lombard, Sam Marshall) and some picks will evaporate from the draft order after being used by clubs to bid on those players.
Brisbane?s pick 27 and Essendon?s picks 28 and 31 will disappear from the draft order ? shuffling later picks closer to the front of the draft ? when they match bids for their academy and father-son stars.
It is the latest in a long line of players who Silvagni has drafted and then attempted to woo to a new club after the former GWS list boss then secured many Giants players while working at the Blues.
In the past two years St Kilda has secured former top 20 picks Liam Stocker and Paddy Dow at St Kilda after initially drafting them at Carlton, wth Silvagni joining the Satins in early 2023.Comment

Re: Trade Rumours 2024
Crows also having issues trading:
Sam Edmund
Adelaide is preparing to walk GWS utility James Peatling to the Pre-Season Draft if a trade can’t be reached with the Giants according to SEN’s Sam Edmund.
As things stand, the Giants are demanding a future second-round pick on its own in exchange for the 24-year-old and won’t negotiate with the Crows until that’s tabled.
Edmund says that the Crows have been trying to workshop a deal with the Giants with a heap of potential options thrown their way.FFC: Established 1883

Re: Trade Rumours 2024
Who is he talking about here?
Inside AFL Trade Period: Scott Gullan?s take on the highs and lows from 2024
The walls in the Marvel Stadium corporate suites aren?t very thick so the spray delivered by a prominent player manager reverberated down the corridor.
Tensions were understandably running high given 10 days of nothing had come down to the final 15 minutes before the trade deadline.
The haggling over a late draft pick sliding one or two spots and the refusal of another club to not to help financially with exiting a player they wanted out was at the centre of the robust discussion.
While the deal eventually got done with minutes remaining, the repercussions for one club are set to live on over the next 12 months.
It?s fair to say any hope of them having a crack at some big-name free agents from that management stable in the near future took a sizeable hit.
That?s the games which are played in the AFL trade period.
There is a lot of you scratch my back and I?ll scratch yours but there is also a clear understanding that if you screw me over now, it?s coming back 10-fold in the future.
Leading agent Paul Connors, who has been in the game for 25 years, described this year?s trade period as ?one of the hardest? and that it was easily ?the hardest last day I have been involved in.?
His team, including partner Robbie D?Orazio and Nick Gieschen, spent a lot of the final hour at Marvel Stadium on Wednesday night going in and out of the club allocated suites given they were linked to the big deals involving Bailey Smith, Jake Stringer, Tom Barrass and Dan Houston.
?It?s been a hard last few days as clubs are getting shrewder and tougher,? Connors lamented after getting all his big names done with literally just seconds remaining before the 7.30pm deadline.
The CCTV vision which AFL trade radio had access to of the suites and the corridor was bizarrely enthralling television even if there was no sound.
As the clock ticked into the last half-hour the sight of Connors sitting next to Geelong list boss Andrew Mackie gesturing with his hands suddenly gave hope that the Smith deal was still alive.
In the end nine players got traded in the final 30 minutes and many of those for deals which had actually been on the table for days.
The AFL loves having the focus for the 10 days but once again having it all go down in the final hour rams home again that they?re allowing clubs to take the piss by having such a drawn-out period.
Holding out to get a future fourth round or shuffling three spots in the fifth round is madness and hardly worthy of chest-beating afterwards but that?s how some list managers see it.
Richmond?s Blair Hartley has been one of the busiest given the exodus of premiership stars from Punt Rd and he summed it up perfectly: ?10 days, I?m a big advocate for three.?
The spin was in overdrive when each club was required to front the cameras at the end of the madness.
When Hartley outlined the circumstances behind Liam Baker, Shai Bolton and Daniel Rioli wanting to leave, he gave the latter a nice drive-by.
Referring to Rioli who won the Tigers best and fairest and was now moving to the Gold Coast, he said he was ?coming to the twilight of his career?.
Five minutes later, standing in the same spot, Suns list manager Craig Cameron described Rioli as ?an A-grade player in a position we wanted to bolster?.
Port Adelaide football boss Chris Davies was next and he vented his frustrations at the recent trend of players signing long-term contracts and then wanting out.
He?d had a tough few days accommodating All-Australian halfback Dan Houston who had three more seasons to run with the Power but requested a trade.
?The AFL needs to look at players in contract wanting out ? a balance has to be looked upon,? Davies said.
In the end everyone left Marvel Stadium looking tired but seemingly happy, many were heading off for a well-needed beer although one club didn?t need that, they already had a hangover which might last 12 months.Comment
