Trade Rumours 2023

[MrFreeze 2,055]

A elite key forward is an amazing luxury, but elite mids will always be more valuable. JJ, Sparrow etc are great but we need to plan for a future after Trac and Oliver

They are only 26 and 25… 

Live in the moment.

I'll never turn down elite midfield talent

Add on 3+ years of developing the high-pick mid/forward and they're 30+ and 28+

Can anyone who has access let me know what this is about? It's probably nothing we don't already know but I am intrigued

Just mentions us having Freo's first and second round pick. Nothing new or exciting.

Thought it might, thanks anyway!

We have defensive and forward recruits... This year we should top up on mids.

Just the Herald Sun trawling Demonland for stories again.

I think we need another young key forward and Kozzie type and then mids or best available.

We will need more than JVR and Jefferson, if he makes it, as key forwards.

Hopefully the Kozzie type becomes a little less important, after the original signs a long term contract extension with us.

You could never have enough Kozzie’s, Red.

Agree.

[adonski 13,280]

Wishlist would include: 

1. Mid/fwd
2. Skillful mid who can play inside/wing/flanks
3. Ruc/fwd

We have enough small fwds given Chandler's development - assuming we retain Pickett that is. But maybe Nick Watson is too good if available?

I’m not sure if there is a right or wrong but I’d hate for us to be linked to someone and it was telegraphed in April.

[Ted Lasso 19,586]

I definitely think we will look at bundling up multiple first round picks this year and next year and trying to inject some top end midfield talent 

I rate our developing keys in Jefferson and Van Rooyen. i am really optimistic what they will become 

salary cap permitting i'd have a very serious look at Ben Mckay as a long term replacement for Steven May to extend our window

Agreed. How many good KPFs in this year's crop that would go top 10? And are there any Kozzy types that are gettable with our likely picks? @Pennant St Dee @IvanBartul13 @ChaserJ @spirit of norm smith @Chelly

Thanks for your input 

[Adam The God 30,751]

@Demons11 has had pretty good mail in the past. We understand some things change and there's always lots of moving pieces. At least you don't do riddles...

[Clintosaurus 7,953]

Zane Duursma will be high on our draft board.
