Someone did mention here a while ago that we had interest with Derksen.

Pretty sure he's childhood friends with Andy Moniz Wakefield

I used to think about one of them a lot when I was younger.

Jai Serong - 21 year old Hawks key defender. Hawks going hard for Barass and Battle also joining them.

With Tommo likely gone, TMAC with 1 year maximum left, Hore not quite at AFL standard, Jed Adam's still developing, he may be worth a look.

Hawks fans rate him

Don't think any of these players are on the trade table. Wright was on the outer towards the end of last year but 50+ goals and a bnf in 2022 don't think the bombers would just let him go for nothing .

He will be on good money so Dons may want him off their books.

I'm surprised there hasn't been more emphasis on KPD. May and McDonald into their last season or two, Jed Adams on a long contract but is yet to really show anything. The cupboard is bare, especially after we've swung Turner and Petty forward.

Good call. Unlucky not to get more opportunities at the Giants.  Would be very handy with his size.

We should be having a look at Jack Carroll from Carlton.

Here's The Age's out-of-contract players list with a bit of trade speculation thrown in:

Looking through the list, I wouldn't mind a look at Tom Emmett (Freo) - high-pressure small fwd and Lachie MacAndrew to fill the glaring hole in our list. James Peatling is at the top of my list.

He looked ok in a couple of games I saw.

Yep we were into him and Edwards, who has since resigned.

Yeah I do recall you saying this a few months back.

Good get.

[Demonland 70,902]

[whatwhat say what 22,427]

nathan 'freddy' kreuger could definitely play a role for us as a fwd / ruck

i imagine the filth feel the same way about his potential role for them

but he's constantly breaking down with injury

Reef McInnes probably surprised and pleased he's at Carlton. May get a finals call up?

Yep. You can actually see that he forgot to remove the Carlton Logo layer over the Collingwood Logo layer.

Anyway that ends my segment on Photoshop Fails.

Back to the Trades ...

[Demonland 70,902]

They fixed it. 🤣

None !!

From espn (by Jasper Chellappah - whoever that is)

Opening two paragraphs and a bit:

The 2024 AFL Draft might still be nearly three months away, but for 10 teams' supporters, attention now turns to the trade period and draft season, and this year offers fascinating subplots throughout.

Its headline act is a wide open race to be anointed pick one. Jagga Smith, Finn O'Sullivan, Harvey Langford, Josh Smillie, Sid Draper, Sam Lalor and Levi Ashcroft all have claims; it's a wholly different landscape to Harley Reid's grip on the top spot last year.

That isn't to say this draft lacks talent - in truth, this may be the deepest draft ever.

He then goes thru each club needs and options etc

MELBOURNE

Current draft hand: 5, 38, 45, 51, 61
List need: Midfield depth

It's a pivotal draft for the Dees who are quietly rebuilding on the run, but there are list holes appearing at a rapid rate and heavy reliance is still being placed on ageing stars Max Gawn, Steven May and Jack Viney.

The positive is Jason Taylor's team is positioned to snare a top tier midfielder with pick 5.

One of Jagga Smith, Finn O'Sullivan, Sid Draper, Josh Smillie or Harvey Langford will be available, but the most enticing selection could be Sam Lalor.

The Rebels powerhouse on-baller shares similarities to Christian Petracca in his explosion from contest and scoreboard impact, and he has the ability to command the football in the forward 50 where his one-on-one work is best in class.

A developing ruckman will surely be targeted later in the piece and Lalor's teammate Floyd Burmeister has put together a solid campaign.
