AXV: OFFICIAL TRADE THREAD (2015/16)

[Nige]

Laos give: Brodie Smith + Michael Barlow
Crocs give: Dylan Roberton, Kamdyn McIntosh + Sam Lloyd

I see Roberton as an upgrade on Smith and I believe Smith may eventually be mid only whereas Roberton a career defender. Barlow to Kamdyn is a downgrade, but I have enough starting quality that Barlow is expendable. Sam Lloyd is a forward who knows where the goals are and is suited to this comp's scoring system and I believe makes up the difference between Kamdyn and Barlow.

Rico to confirm.

ok Nige and I don't think we should have to do this, but we've agreed to upgrade our deal a little. Nige has asked to improve Lloyd to Frawley

Laos give: Brodie Smith + Michael Barlow
Crocs give: Dylan Roberton + James Frawley + Kamdyn McIntosh

Laos give: Brodie Smith + Michael Barlow
Crocs give: Dylan Roberton + James Frawley + Kamdyn McIntosh

Nige to confirm

Confirmed. Basically what Rico said. Frawley's an upgrade on Lloyd and helps boost my defensive depth, he's a better option than guys like Stratton etc because he occasionally plays forward and is probably a small chance of DPP.

Disregard the original deal.

[Nige]

Small time trade.

Laos give: Damien Cavka
Taiwan give: Nick Holman

Cavka's not really in my future plans and should be a good player, whereas I think Holman's got a good future ahead of him down back for the Blues under Bolton.

Memph to confirm.

Memph to confirm.

Confirm.

I need more midfield depth and have plenty of defenders so was happy to do this one. I think both have similar levels of talent - unfortunately Cavka had his year ruined by injury but, before that he was showing good signs.

[BB67th]

Bangkok give: L. McDonald
PNG give: B. Lennon

Rusty to confirm

Confirmed. We have a number of forwards on our list and not many defenders (only had 2 defenders on our list playing in Rd.23 this year).

CONFIRMED

Reasoning: Fairly straightforward trade I would think here. Young forward for young defender, both of whom are good prospects for the future.

Bangkok give: T. Membrey
Laos give: D. McKenzie

Nige to confirm

Confirmed.

Taking a punt on Membrey coming good as a depth forward for me, happy to cough up McKenzie for him.

CONFIRMED

Reasoning: Couple of depth players being traded here, similar in worth.

Small time trade.

Laos give: Damien Cavka
Taiwan give: Nick Holman

Cavka's not really in my future plans and should be a good player, whereas I think Holman's got a good future ahead of him down back for the Blues under Bolton.

Memph to confirm.

CONFIRMED

Reasoning: Again, two young players who haven't done too much in the AFL yet, but have a bit of potential and have fairly even value.

ok Nige and I don't think we should have to do this, but we've agreed to upgrade our deal a little. Nige has asked to improve Lloyd to Frawley

Laos give: Brodie Smith + Michael Barlow
Crocs give: Dylan Roberton + James Frawley + Kamdyn McIntosh

Nige to confirm

Confirmed. Basically what Rico said. Frawley's an upgrade on Lloyd and helps boost my defensive depth, he's a better option than guys like Stratton etc because he occasionally plays forward and is probably a small chance of DPP.

Disregard the original deal.

CONFIRMED

Reasoning: Now this is a contentious one, so let's break down the trade.
Smith (20 games, 93 avg, 23 yrs old) + Barlow (22 games, 121 avg, 28 almost 29 years old)
for
Roberton (20 games, 108 avg, 24 yrs old) + Frawley (14 games, 70 avg, nearly 28 years old) + McIntosh (22 games, 86 avg, 21 years old)
From that I see Roberton as being superior to Smith, and Smith also has the possibility of losing his DEF status in the next season or two in the way he has been used. McIntosh is a young defender (which are hard to find who score decently in this format) who did play every game this year and scored decently. Frawley will also be useful depth. The way I see it:

Roberton>Smith
Barlow > Frawley + McIntosh

While I don't see this trade as being perfectly even, it is not too uneven so that it should not pass in my view. I realise that may not be the most popular view, but it is the view I have on the trade.

[Rids]

Barlow turns 28 in December. He is currently 27.

[BB67th]

Barlow turns 28 in December. He is currently 27.

My mistake, that's correct.

Still, in my view, that doesn't sway this trade enough to have it blocked.

[JBs-Hawks]

What a joke!

[tbagrocks]

Nice simple one to start with...

Bangkok give: A. Miles
Tibet give: E. Yeo

Tbag to confirm

Confirm

[PowerBug]

Kathmandu give: Peter Wright, Dillon Viojo-Rainbow
Taiwan give: Sam Wright

I needed another starting back (I still need one more), and gave up two young lads unfortunately. I gotta stop trading my youth I always do it with every XVs team I get...

Memph to confirm.

Confirm. 

Sam Wright is a big loss as he was a starting defender for us and had a bit of a breakout season this year.

However, Two-Metre Peter Wright is going to be a star of the competition in the future so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to acquire him.

Should be a forward/ruck when he's in his prime and getting games this season was just a bonus for him and should see him progress faster. Viojo-Rainbow is talented as well and hopefully a long-term replacement for Sam Wright in our defence.

What even are 3rd round draft picks? I don't have any. This lets me upgrade the 3 kids I want now. Confirmed.
