Time this thread got a bump as trade speculation on the Harley continues. 

The only way this clearly happens is if we trade some of our WA talent. Now i dont want to throw names from our end, but suspect there will be a few that wouldn't mind be trading back to their home state. 

WCE in hindsight would be kicking themselves that they didn't take our offer in 2023. They will never get the same value as the offer we put forward. 

Bombers in the drivers seat atm...it would be awful if that came to fruition. 

To be honest think Reid is too expensive. He’ll hamper a clubs ability to attract other talent. The Bombers have one serious player, let them have 2 and see how they go.

 

Reid for Koz would be an acceptable trade...both pretty "next level" players I have them on similar levels in my head, be it biased or not :)

Yeah if Callaghan is attracting $17m offers I can only imagine what clubs will be prepared to pay for Reid.

It’s going to be ludicrous sums. I’m not sure you can build a team like that. I wonder what Jackson will cost us if he and Pickett agree to trade places.

Langford, Reid, K. White, Lindsay, Windsor and Rivers/McVee as your future centre / follower line will win you premierships.

Who’s our fullback and CHB?

~$1m per year. Depends how good his 2025 is.

We don't have them on our list and it's been one of my frustrations in our recent recruiting.

Maybe we're hoping to build it through trade like Lever and May.

Surely Petty is one.

Couldn't Fullarton play a spoiling key back role? Even AJ might be able to play a key back role. Disco can play back and Adams is improving.

There is still a Draft and Trade and FA to fill holes.

Reid is still learning his position. I don't particularly like him at this stage. But he will be given time by their new coach.

I trust the MFC brains trusts knows more than me. But with hindsight it could be that we couldn't go for some more Moneyball-type players who would've added more value  It could also be that Reid ends up more the standard of Travis Johnstone as opposed to Judd, D Martin or Fyfe.

It would probably be something like taking over his current contract, with maybe some small extras.

I know the Club was desperate to try and draft Harley Reid when he was the number #1 draft pick.

However, I don't know if we have the draft capital or the salary cap space to fit him into the Demons?

Never say never though!

Means players need to be traded, I’d guess jvr and Pickett would have to be involved

jesus no… in no world anywhere do we trade both fr Harley.

Well we are kind of resigned to loosing Pickett anyway either this year or next few. So it’s really just one more and who knows with jvr been from wa he might be asking to go back anyway. I’d hate it but if that’s the reality you could do worse

Adams says hi! 

Never ceases to amaze me that D/Lers always want to go and get a certain player for a position or instead of another player we are developing. 

Realise that some ready made trades are necessary to top up high draft picks or other lower draft picks as they develop.

But  some fans can’t wait and all the time want trades irrespective. It can’t work out like Geelong or as the Pies are copying now. 

Adam Simpson said he doesn't do the extra little things that are needed to be a top player.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.
