TW and trading players

[Bill James]

All this talk about trading I thought I would look at Terry's record at the Bulldogs. While he did give away some good ones and pick some duds on average the players he picked up did a fair bit more than the ones he let go. Its a comforting thought.

Not 1 outstanding player there listed that he recruited... Cameron to richmond, powell to melbourne and then to st kilda & montgomery to port adelaide (all-australian) was a big loss...

I think trading has changed alot from the mid to late 90's aswell. Many of the players that used to get traded were set for the scrap heap anyway.

Where clubs used to spend trade week swapping trash, most clubs are now prepared to deal a big name for the right price.

 

[neeld]

Thats a positive thing to see that the clubs arent so frigit as they used to be. I always wished it would be the case as it adds more excitement like other professional sports (nba, nfl, epl, etc).

The other thing it brings is a realistic opportunity to make a club become much more balanced as clubs are prepared to trade bigger name players in return for what they need.

 

[goose]

We will trade, we have to, everyone does.

 

[Phar Ace]

We will trade, we have to, everyone does. 

Just "We will trade". No one has to, and not everyone does.

 

[johnson2richo2003]

To this day id say TW and Max Walker would be regretting the trading of Jimmy Plunket :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

[Bunnerz85]

Dont like the list. Got rid of a few, picked up not much

 

[Mr Brightside]

Dos this mention the players who they drafted from the picks they recieved for trading these players

 

[Coughlan24]

I'm not 100% sure on this but I think last off-season the Eagles didn't make one move in trade week, not one trade at all. It goes to show if we can get the talent in place we won't need other teams rejects to come in and "Boost" our list. Get the right kids in place and the rest will follow.

Morrison and Stenglein for starters if I recall

Lindsay Gilbee came from the pick Richmond traded for Leon Cameron.

Knew it was one of their goodish Mid sized players, pulled the wrong rein with Gilbee.
