AXV: TRADE PERIOD 1 DISCUSSION (2016/17)

[BB67th]

A few week old trades are still waiting to be confirmed/blocked, how close are we to getting this done?

We've just finished going through them all. All outstanding trades will be approved, I'll post them up properly in the morning.

In what world is the 26th highest averaging ruckman worth a top 10 draft pick? Don't think throwing in medicore/old players with one or 2 years left really boosts it that much.

In reality! where younger big men get better as they mature and demand the starting role and nerds and their stats are meaningless

Smith is 26 now, when ruckmen should just start to hit their prime. He averaged 80 in arguably the best year of his career. Can be really lift his average by 20 points to put him into a premium range?

Rucks just dont score anything in this comp, its not that much of a disadvantage to just play an OOP player. Literally all rucks are almost equally as bad and the only ones who score well are the ones who are forwards. As you can see with Lycett who was scoring quite well but as soon as Nic nat went down he comes back and averages like 70....

*exception Gawn and Grundy but its never these type of rucks on the market :P

Cant be giving up first rounders for rucks...

Yeah sure but he'll get better yet. I thought somebody might have wanted a starting Ruck. Is all

I was just hoping I could get something good for him plus another player like Watson or Dougas F/M type

Anyway, I'm happy to keep a starting decent Ruck as backup ;)

Unless someone wants to give me a pick upgrade for either #9,14 or 32

[iZander]

Looking for pick or pick upgrades for the following players

Easton Wood, Adam Saad, Harry Taylor, Sam Fisher, Mark Baguely, Dan Mcstay, Angus Litherland, Clem Smith, Matt Shaw, Jarrad Jansen, Kane Lambert, Shaun Edwards, Ben Newton, Fraser Mcinnes, Yestin Eades, Anthony Mcdonald-Tippa, Matt Taberner, Shane Kersten

Willing to also talk for players as well.

[Koop]

Sorry for not getting back to people recently, Year 12 is completely sapping my will to live so may be a bit slow for a little bit, with me being on in bursts.

I am however now looking for another top 20 pick as there is two guys I really really want at 15. Caddy has been enquired about so I'd get in there quickly too. Still working out what I want to do with McKenzie as well so thanks to people for being patient there. Hopefully I can get back to everyone over the weekend.

[iZander]

Adam Saad and Anthony Mcdonald Tippa will be gone soon

[iZander]

Dane Rampe could also be gone soon. (forgot to expressed interest in him prior)

Geez that Patton deal is a stinker  :-X
Could have got much better if you told us you were trading him!

Nobody has to tell anyone what deals they have with others. If someone chooses to headhunt or do some homework on who's available, their prerogative!

Taberner averages the same as Patton while Duggan is a former pick #11 (AXV pick #6).

I don't see how it can be considered a 'stinker'.

Honestly i thought it was a pretty big risk, only took it cause i have no keyforwards and have a few mid/fwd kind of blokes coming through..
He's sat out like 3 seasons cause of knee problems.

[tbagrocks]

Does someone want to give me a pick up-grade for either Zac Smith or even Watto? #9, #14 or #32?

Or maybe Casboult, Jack Trengove, Sammy Mitchell even?
