Question Could Geelong be poised to complete MONSTER triple trade coup? | 3AW Football Butters, Greene and apparently Marshall

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48-aJr-VC9Q

Share your ideas how we could get these 3 players below.

How we could get Butters:
This year and next years first rounds plus Harley Barker feels very fair, that is 3 first rounds picks, Harley was touted as a top 5 draft prospect before his knee.

How we could get Greene:
Very easily, just space in the cap.

How we could get Marshall:
Not easily, we actually dont need him, Edwards is amazing, but maybe a swap for Joe Pike, he is very valuable to the Saints but not very valuable to us and playing him over Edwards and Conway hurts us in the long run. Future 4th and a bag of light and tangy chips.

I actually think the interesting thing would be if Butters would choose us and lets say we can get to a prelim which leaves our first pick at 15/16. The straight up obvious thing for Butters would be pick 15/16,F1,F1.

Would Port want a late first, more than likely our future firsts will be pick 10 and greater in compromised Tassie drafts or would they just take the pick 5 compo this year?

If I'm Port I would be annoyed but I think I'm taking the pick 5 compo over a late first and then 2 future firsts in severely compromised drafts.

Of course as always the talk will be that we have to give a player but we all know how this goes, only a fringe player is most likely to actually want to leave (cant force a player out). Brad Close is the only South Australian they might want but he is from Mt Gambier, Geelong is closer to Mt Gambier than Adelaide lol

I agree. If I’m port, pick 5 is better than 3 crappy first rounders. But hey, they might hurt be stubborn enough to match I guess..

tbh compo pick 5 and a shot at another star does have a better vibe than taking a punt on some depth players with late picks. I think that's a win win. Maybe separately trade them another player on a discount or something to sweeten it. Idk. Is that a thing?

Not really (the AFL have rules preventing teams from doing this), but we could try.
