Trade Targets 2025

[BAMF 4,082]

I must be on an island with Lewis Young. I thought he was a good solid defender and at his age I would be snapping him up if cheap. 

I must be looking at him all wrong as I'm shocked he is being traded in the first place.

Keep an eye out for Riley Bice and Dom Brew from Werribee. 

Thought you meant Bailey Rice for a sec…but he’s still punting for Charlotte.

Hes been told his not going to be a starting inside mid, but Carl see him only playing the half fwd role that he played every game this year as. He wants to play inside mid.

Fair point, but still maintain that he won't command high compensation given he's a player in the back half of his career and been given permission to chase better opportunities (inside mid or otherwise) next year.

Had a really good run of games at the start of this or last season (they all blend together to me these days). Outside that brief period, he's looked Oscar McDonald-esque to me. It's not a very nice thing to say but the word "hapless" comes to mind.

Kennedy is treacle slow. As the game gets faster, spread and speed rule. Teams can carry some one paced players but not many, there is no position to hide them. Looking out our midfield mix we need more speed than less.

If the Blues don't see him as a centre bounce mid maybe he is not a centre bounce mid. If his endurance is elite then maybe he could lay a Nibbler type role but its not clear that it is.

If we want to persist with both Turner and Petty inside F50 and Tomlinson goes Young might be worthy of a list spot. I think hapless is a stretch tbh and he can kick off both sides pretty well which is rare for a KPD.

If Jed Adams was showing more I’d agree he may not be worth pursuing but atm if May or Lever gets injured which they seem prone to do he might be a good back up

He might be worth a spot, but I'd rather treat TMac as the back up or the guy who starts 2025 in the best 23 and look to push someone like a Riak Andrew through there by the end of the year.

The Age has named us & Essendon as potentially being interested in Owies

[Deez21 163]

not sure how to find old posts but I mentioned this in here a while ago 

[whatwhat say what 22,064]

Can cross a line through Angwin, re-signed for two years recently.

[Tolstoys Nudge 1,484]

Kennedy def fits the bill keys hope we go after him! 
 

Wade Derkson — as reported by afl.com.au & above is someone we have interest in and his hands are allegedly super-strong so watch that space could be a nice little get for not much & giants signed him up so they def saw something on him

Torn in this one — can finish which we DESPERATELY need but his def pressure isn’t there so if free is be a yes which he should be considering he hasn’t been offered a contract due to their interest in other players like Haynes etc but with them missing on a couple they might offer him a deal now  

[Demonsone 1,944]

Understanding that all the so caled trades etc in yet to hear any player from another club ask to be traded to us! We just don’t seem to be very active or a club that players want to come to, journos saying players driving to Casey & the circus of what happened with Trac

Why if he comes cheap? Who are our round 1 small forwards. Koz ?(suspended). Nibbler ?(gone). Spargo ? (has not played for a year)? So Chandler and possibly Kolt or Kynan or …… A good quality opportunist small forward (6 games of 3 goals and 33 in total for 2024) who is very team oriented who would come at low cost. I can see the potential appeal.  

[spirit of norm smith 15,063]

The Age reported that Peatling is likely to stay.  He was the one player that I thought would be a very good addition for the Dees.  
 

Breakout Giants James Peatling is also weighing up his future, according to two industry sources, despite saying ahead of the club’s semi-final that he wanted to remain at GWS.

The Giants have increased their offer since mid-year, with Peatling transforming into a key contributor in the midfield by season’s end, including kicking two goals in the first quarter of Saturday’s semi-final while playing on Lions star Dayne Zorko.

The interest in Peatling from Victorian clubs such as St Kilda and Collingwood has not disappeared, and he is considering his future, even if he may remain at the Giants beyond 2024.

[spirit of norm smith 15,063]

Yes to Peatling (if he was available)

Yes probably to Parfitt, Derksen 

Maybe to Membrey , Matt Kennedy, Owies

Maybe but with a lot of due diligence: Malcolm Rosas (jnr) 

No to … Macrae, Daniel, Ross, Taberner, Cerra, Ladhams, Jack Martin, Marchbank, Hind, Sam Day , Haynes, Stringer, Darling

Parfitt ? Never been a fan of his work - Bailey Laurie offers more upside imo

But it would ruin the nickname you're trying to push onto Tholstrup though

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,316]

Is there something legit about Derkson or would he be just another Pat McKenna who we also got from GWS a number of years ago. 

I think Matt Owies could be useful for us, but I guess we have Spargo who potentially could get himself back into the side.

[deelusions from afar 1,686]

If Rivers and McVee are intended to be used more up forward next season, I'm surprised we're not linked to players needed to play their role in defence - or have I missed something?

I think he has sone great afl qualities as well, but also has his deficiencies but as a role player he'd be an asset if he came as a cheapie that is for sure.
