With both Tim English and JUH coming out of contract next year and the huge cap squeeze they will undoubtedly had. Which one do you chase? I dont think either qualify for FA, so it will be a Jackson scenario. 

Who do the Doggies chose as i think they will need to make a choice. English is a versatile ruck/forward, who will probably take over the ruck domination when Gawn retires. I cant see many challenging for the AA ruck position for the next 3-4 years. 

JUH on the other hand has really been underwhelming. Perhaps he isn't suited to playing in the same forward line as Naughton ? Or he was just overrated. I think he is the better target to chase as the Doggies do have a excess of KPF stocks. 

So it'll be JUH, Ben King, Cadman all potentially uncontracted after 2024. We should be lining up to land one of these prospects. 

English will be a RFA

Possibly the steak knives from another deal perhaps  ? 

That's probably unlikely, as then it would all have just happened, rather than him coming out and asking for a trade.

It isn't a trade rumour but does fit the broad topic of 'pre-draft shenanigans' 

Looks like Riak Andrew will be falling outside the pick 40 range and eligible as an NGA selection for us.

Skinny, 192cm. I've seen him listed as both forward and defender. Does anyone have more info? Does this mean we'll want to keep a pick 80 in reserve to grab him?

Speaking of NGA, is there any possibility that Gold Coast will decide they've done enough with Walter and Rogers, and might not match a bit for Ethan Read, this drafts designated 'ruck who competes at ground level' type?

I was thinking ...what we will possibly offer Lions.. as probably wont be bucket loads might be something we acquire after an other trade.( not with Bris )

I heard yesterday that we weren't even talking with Naughton's management. So not sure where that rumor started. I believe the interested clubs that ultimately led to his extension were Collingwood, Geelong, West Coast and Sydney. Sydney reportedly put in an offer of $11M-$12M for 10 years for his services. That is crazy.

Its the ol club needs x, link said club to every player in taht category you can.

I was thinking of doing the same, for example Dees are in talks with OOC forward or player with one year left for a massive deal..... It really isn't rocket science.

You can spot the fake ones pretty quickly, like Larkey (who has just signed a massive contract with Norf, was never moving) or Allen (who is the next big thing at the Eagles and wont move for less than two high first rounders which no club has).

Really like this move. Exactly the right fit for us. Cheap, young, developing forward/ruck.

No expectations of him being a world beater, but can't be any worse than both Jackson and Grundy have been as forwards for us over the past 2 seasons.

Thankfully there'll be no fan or media scrutiny if he's playing at Casey.

How's Jimmy Jordon feeling?

Himself, potentially Adams and Dow moving over to an already pretty deep midfield

was thinking the same.  they have decent wingers too.  Hope he's on the sub again, poor bloke.

Although not too late to change his mind?

Sounds like JUH is about to be signed on a 4-5 year deal too. Would be interesting to see if English now sticks around. He would have to take significant unders for the Dogs to remain in the salary cap. It is also probably a sign that they are not going to try solve their defensive KP woes anytime soon.

Wonder if Josh Sinn could be on the move to help Port facilitate their moves? Speedy half back and goof left foot kick. Could release Rivers to the midfield.

Apparently Rhys "Beastmode" Mathieson is leaving the Brisbane Lions due to lack of opportunities.

Is he worth a punt?

I know he is quite an annoying and obnoxious bugger when he has played against the Demons. But he could be ideal midfield depth perhaps?

Here is a link regarding the news story: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/teams/brisbane-lions/afl-trade-news-rumours-whispers-brisbane-lions-confirm-rhys-mathieson-seeking-new-home-dayne-zorko-future-deven-robertson-resigned-tom-doedee-will-ashcroft-levi-latest/news-story/c879298a741f3108d362772c99b21843

I totally agree! 😎👍

Would love the Demons to try and have a crack at Josh Sinn!

He would be the ideal replacement for Michael Hibberd too!

Would certainly add depth cheaply. Haven't looked at him closely enough to form a strong opinion on his game.

Does anyone have an update on list spots?

By my calcs so far it is probable that:

Out - D Smith, M Hibberd, B Grundy, J Jordon, L Dunstan & J Harmes

In - S McAdam, T Fullarton

Leaves 4 spots with the potential to upgrade Daniel Turner from the rookie list?

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o
