The AFL Trade Period is often fueled by rumours and guesswork and it can be fun discerning whether or not they have any substance.

One person who purports to have the inside knowledge and calls himself Ricky Nixon has posted a long list of AFL Trade Scoops on Facebook but they sound less like scoops and more like a mixture of stories that are already out there, rumour and malarkey —

The Josh Thomas one has come up before. Interesting...

Struggled this year, but his two previous seasons were solid. I wouldn't say no, he is getting on though.

Kyle Dunkley also to be picked up by the bombers as part of the lure to get Josh

A fun read!

I like this time of year when the rumours run thick and fast.  Whilst I’m sure many/most won’t pan out, none of them seem outside of the realms of possibility.

Sounfs like Sydney are very keen on getting a tall forward in.

5 years to Ben Brown would be a surprise.  Makes him 33 at the end of his contract. 

Hopefully there would be triggers for last year or two.

I don’t mind the Jack Higgins link.

Higgins has been mentioned on Demonland before. He'd be perfect.

Yes interested.  He’s an opportunity to add more pace to the line up and he loves a goal. Whatever we get for Hannan, we should offer for Thomas. 3rd rounder??

I'd hope a little later than a third rounder, but at the end of the day, that's probably fair. He only kicked 4 goals this year, so they couldn't ask for much more.

I should say I'd prefer Higgins over Thomas, but we need 2-3 of these small guys on the cheap.

Personally ld much rather Hogan than Brown. No chance l suppose...

I’d almost risk going for Paddy McCartin over Brown too. ?
 

Edit: His repeat concussions are probably too much of a risk though, good luck to him though.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
