Trade and Free Agency rumours

The Dunkley trade:

  • Brisbane receives Josh Dunkley, a future third-round selection and a future fourth-round selection (tied to Melbourne)
  • Western Bulldogs receive a second-round pick (currently No.21), a future first-round selection, a future second-round selection and a future fourth-round selection (tied to Geelong)

Thought the F4 swap interesting.  One tied to Geelong, one tied to us.   It will probably be pick 60 something for pick 60 something and the advantage could go either way.

Hardly worth swapping.

    Thanks. No, it wasn't just your post, I have seen it stated the same way in the media i.e. only the 2nd round pick being qualified as "tied to Freo".

    Cheers

    Freo only had the one future first. So no need to clarify.

    They had a pair of 2nd rounders. They had  their own and they had North Melbourne’s special pick from the Logue trade.

    So in the interest of some clarity they specify the second round pick is the one tied to Freo’s ladder position

    Firstly, let me congratulate the Dees for another extraordinary trade period.   


    For those wanting to know who the KPF Melbourne is after.  Its Mitch Georgiades.  We have super currency next year.  2 firsts and 3 second round draft picks when Mitch is out of contract.  We will continue to go hard for him.  As I said before, the club thinks they can get him.  They think he and JVR are the two-pronged KPF for the future.  No doubt if Mitch is unattainable, they will look elsewhere for the medium-term missing piece of the puzzle.

    Again, congratulations to the recruiting team.

    As long as Kosi is in no way involved in a trade for Georgiades next year I’m happy.

    Am I wrong for now feeling a bit ticked off at Port?

    They ain’t gonna challenge for the flag next year, may as well have given us Mitch in our own more realistic pursuit of the flag in 2023.

    I noticed the same thing. I took it as a slight on our team. Brisbane think we are going to finish significantly lower than Geelong.

     I get that Richmond brought some decent talent in this trade period, as things currently stand do they have a draft pick before 2024?

    2022:  53 and 63

    2023:  Rnd 2 (tied to Coll), Rnd 3 (tied to Freo)

    Hmm, not sure how they managed to trade out rnd 4 and rnd 1 next year as technically that isn't allowed.  But the data on the AFL website may not have been updated for the flurry of late trades.

    Oh well, slim pickings for them this year.  They will have to trade out players next year to avoid the same.

    Both Hardwick and Dusty are out of contract in 2024.  Maybe he is going all out for another premiership in the next two years then perhaps move on?

    Tim Lamb comments are spot on I reckon

    “We don't get tied up in the minutiae of every little deal, which I think is an approach that we take, which allows us to get deals done generally in a timely fashion.

    “If you look at Luke (Jackson) going out, Brodie’s come in. We've lost Jayden Hunt as a free agent and Lachie Hunter comes in. Kade Chandler will come up from the rookie list to replace Toby Bedford, who we lost. Sam Weideman goes out, Josh Schache comes in. Then we've got a much-improved draft hand.”

    I love how the club place’s  higher value on the overall list vs the individual trade. 
     

    Grundy is more value than Dogga in the next couple of years. 
     

    Scache is like for like for Wiedeman. More upside IMO as the Weed did not suit our system and Shack can play back and is tall to compete as a ruck. 
     

    Hunter provides a better midfield wing option we lacked with Jordan and Brayshaw Jordan and Brayshaw are better as other midfield options. 
     

    Chandler is like for like with Bedford. 
     

    We now have more variety and proven talent… and a better draft hand to play thid and next year

    An overall improvement IMO

    I wonder if he's hinting here that Hunter will play off half back if he's insinuating like for like with Hunt.

    It's not like O'Meara is a particularly good player though. He's as slow as a wet week, not all that damaging and doesn't average anywhere near 25 possessions. Maybe he'll be alright alongside Freo's midfield, but he shouldn't be the difference in Freo's fortunes. I assume they view him as the mature age Mundy replacement, but nowhere near as smooth.

    Agree, O'meara is no-where near the talent he was or could have been without the injuries.

    He'll be 29 next year and has a degenerative knee issue.

    He's basically cooked.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
