AXV: OFFICIAL TRADE THREAD (2015/16)

[BB67th]

Bangkok Crabs give Jake Carlisle + Daniel Menzel + Nathan Vardy

Manilla Folders give  Dayne Zorko + Nat 17

BB to confirm

Confirm

Definitely a risky trade, but we feel it could definitely be a worthwhile one. Carlisle gives us some flexibility and scoring power, and will hopefully increase his output at a new AFL club next season. Menzel and Vardy are hopefully both over their injury worries, and if they are, then they will be great scorers in this competition, with plenty of goals between them. Parting with Zorko was not an easy choice, but hopefully it turns out to be a worthwhile one.

[JBs-Hawks]

Australia give: n44 + n60

Uae give: Tom Downie

[BB67th]

Strikers give: James Stewart + NAT 13 + NAT 77
PNG give: Ed Curnow + Jarryd Blair + Viv Michie

Rusty to confirm.

Confirmed.

Looking to rejuvenate our list with something younger and (in the long run better) than Curnow, Blair and Michie. First round pick enables us to pick up a future gun, Stewart is a youngster who has showed some promise and the late pick enables us to upgrade one of our rookies.

CONFIRMED

Reasoning: Stewart and Michie were similar this year in terms of scoring and games played, and both provide some future potential. Curnow (101 avg) and Blair (92 avg) are both solid players and close enough to the worth of the included picks.

Laos give: Tom Hickey + Billy Longer
UAE give: Jack Riewoldt + Majak Daw

Originally didn't intend to ever give up Hickey + Longer but after missing Goldy in the grand final, that had to change but I was pretty set on not giving them up unless I got the right deal. I noticed Majak scored a solid 130ish the week Goldy was rested and convinced myself that should Goldy go down injured or be rested, Majak would get the ruck job ahead of Currie (who PB told me he would probably not trade). Individually, Majak probably has the least value of anyone in the trade, and Jack provides me with the perfect F4. Hickey + Longer are a solid combo, Longer is the no.1 ruck and Hickey either plays with him or when Longer doesn't.

nas to confirm.

Confirm.

CONFIRMED

Reasoning: Hickey or Longer will be playing pretty much every week, and should both improve a bit, young rucks who play that decently are certainly hard to find, showing that they do have quite a bit of potential. Riewoldt is a good forward, without being in the top class of premiums. Daw meanwhile has really had a poor year, and given his current circumstances it is unclear what his position will be next year, so he is not worth quite as much, and this trade is close enough to pass.

Mongolia give: Pick 16 + Pick 32
Australia give: Jordan Roughead + Pick 28

Nice and easy one that took two PMs to organise. Wanted to sure up the rucks a bit and the picks are to even it out!

JB to confirm

CONFIRMED

Reasoning: Roughead isn't the highest scoring player, but does have some versatility with his position. Pick swap evens it out a bit.

Mongolia give: Jon Giles
UAE give: Wilbur Minson

Another fairly easy one, trading second-string rucks. Gives me two of the Doggies' rucks, nas now gets all of the Bombers rucks.

Nas to confirm.

Confirmed.

CONFIRMED

Reasoning: A couple of fringe rucks being traded here, nice and easy to pass.

Australia give: n44 + n60

Uae give: Tom Downie

CONFIRMED

Reasoning: Young ruckmen are hard to come by, and Downie has shown he has potential, but is still something of an unknown. These picks aren't worth a great deal, but still might be able to pick up a couple of decent players.



And the other trade pending between the Folders and Crabs will be up to Ricochet to pass or block.

UAE Tigers give:Shaun McKernan, Tom Bellchambers & Jon Giles.
HK Dongs give: Ryan Schoenmakers  & Aaron Young.

[nrich102]

UAE Tigers give:Shaun McKernan, Tom Bellchambers & Jon Giles.
HK Dongs give: Ryan Schoenmakers  & Aaron Young.

Confirmed. 

While Mckernan, Belly and Giles aren't the best rucks in the world, at least one of them will play each week, which is something that isn't a certainty with my current rucks.

[Ricochet]

Bangkok Crabs give Jake Carlisle + Daniel Menzel + Nathan Vardy

Manilla Folders give  Dayne Zorko + Nat 17

BB to confirm

Confirm

Definitely a risky trade, but we feel it could definitely be a worthwhile one. Carlisle gives us some flexibility and scoring power, and will hopefully increase his output at a new AFL club next season. Menzel and Vardy are hopefully both over their injury worries, and if they are, then they will be great scorers in this competition, with plenty of goals between them. Parting with Zorko was not an easy choice, but hopefully it turns out to be a worthwhile one.

CONFIRMED

Reasoning: BB summed it up pretty well. Fair bit of risk involved here for him and think Crabs win this slightly, but not enough to block. By giving up Zorko BB is able to build the depth of his squad with three boys that have the ability to score very well in this scoring system.

[upthemaidens]

Crocs give: Dawson Simpson

Strikers give: Nat#45

Rico to confirm

[Ricochet]

Crocs give: Dawson Simpson

Strikers give: Nat#45

Rico to confirm

Confirm. Nice and easy one, cheers mate

[nas]

Tigers give: M Cox
Crocs give : J Frost.

Rookie listed players swap & enables Crocs to have all  the Collingwood rucks.

[Ricochet]

Tigers give: M Cox
Crocs give : J Frost.

Rookie listed players swap & enables Crocs to have all  the Collingwood rucks.

Confirmed. Yep some big guns here. Not expecting Cox to turn into anything special but nice to have all three rucks just in case

[nostradamus]

just a small trade

Crabs give Nat 40

Crocs give Jacob Townsend

We see Townsend as a bit of a spec trade and think Nat 40 is pretty much on the mark for him

Rico to confirm

Rico to confirm

Confirmed. Nice and easy, thanks mate

[Ricochet]

KL Crocs Give: KStevens + N9 + R25
Hong Kong Give: Buddy

nrich to confirm

Reasoning: Stevens went at a 116ave all year until his final game he was subbed out injured and taken to hospital. The draft isn't deep but the top 12 or so are still elite, so nrich will get a great kid there. And a 2nd round rookie was also chucked in.

oh and.. please don't retire Buddy

Rico understands that he has been unfairly beating teams in trades, so he was willing to hand over Stevens and two picks to a bottom side for nothing in return :)
