I would love us to have a crack at 

1 Tim Membrey

2 Matt Kennedy

and possibly 

3 Matt Owies

all would be upgrades for us

Like all of these options, and Finn Maginness.  Obviously for the right price.

Membrey will be a delisted FA, I really like Kennedy to play the Brayshaw role.

But we are into Sharp and obviously want Derkson if we can get him, so i doubt we bring in many more after those two

The update…close of business Friday 11 October 2024 

LIST UPDATE Tom Campbell - delisted free agent … 32yo VFL ruckman. Signed up 4/10/24 🤔

Wade Derksen - 2 1/2 yrs with GWS. Zero games.  Nominated the Dees but GWS standing firm saying no trade 🤬

James Peatling - GWS - has sought trade to the Crows. Dees one of five interested clubs (missed out) 🥵

Dan Houston - originally planning a move to the Dees then all the dramas at MFC seemingly killed that move. Houston said committed to Port. Houston move then back in to Vic … Kangas, filthy Pies and arrogant Blues in the race (Dees to miss out) 🤮

Matt Owies - Dees originally linked but seems to have cooled. Media reporting his salary is high at >$600k. (We should pass on this) 👍🏻

Clayton Oliver potential move to Cats gets media filth bags all excited. Pert reportedly shopping Clarry around.  Tim Lamb says never was on the cards despite Clarrys farm visit!! (Relief)  Damien Barrrett, Sam McClure, Greg Baum, Matthew Lloyd all continue to stir up rumours that this is untrue and Clarry will walk to the Cats (he’s under contract but this doesn’t stop mud throwing journos) 

Harry Sharp - Brisbane Lions - like Kiwi in the Melbourne Cup, has come from nowhere to apparently be ready to sign up with the Dees. Played 6 games in 2024   Sees better opportunities at the Dees, with his run and carry style being sought after  At 22years, he has some upside still and his endurance will be an asset. 

Pick swaps rumours. Dees seeking moves with Lions or Suns. Dees future 1st potentially on the table plus a mix of our current picks. Wait and see how and what eventuates as pick swaps can be ongoing up until and including on the draft night  

All quiet on MFC showing any interest in Brandon Parfitt. 🤔🤔🤔

❌😭ANB returned home to Adelaide for pick “28” - likely be pick 34/35 after academy and father son bids &  matching 

 

Saints sizing up to have a crack at TDK by the sounds of it.  
 

Hope we are too

My brain doesn’t function well enough to remember the initials of every AFL player, and the only TDK that immediately springs to mind for me, is the old cassette tape brand. Who is it?

I think there was a report last year that we had interest in Aleer

Let’s hope that’s true 👀

I would be amazed if he ended up at St Kilda, no matter how much they offer him.

Not at the $1.5m being reported

The Saints deal is overs but I wouldn't be against throwing him a mega deal, great successor for Gawn who can genuinely play forward and mark the footy before moving into the ruck full time

Saints offering $1.7million

aints trying to price everying else out of the market - $12m over 7 for tdk is the rumoured offer

fair chunk o change

It is enormous money in todays terms (and still pretty big money in future terms) but salary cap goes up and Gawn/May deals won’t be on our books in a few years 

What would it take to drag Kozzie out of Fremantle?

He has huge potential but is still not consistent enough at this stage and will never be as good as Max

Rookie Quinton Narkle.

If the Kozzy trade is likely, Bobby Hill is a great replacement. OOC at the Pies and looking for $$$ in his next deal, can we provide?

Is the OOC status correct? Not challenging you directly, but some reporting over the past 12 months states he's OOC at the end of 2026, whilst other reporting states it's this year.

I usually go to Footywire and that has him OOC at the end of 2025... who knows though

He is indeed contracted to '26, good call. Still fits our timeline for a recruitment if we can hold out one more year before a Koz trade is done.

Than who Narkle or Hill? 
Ridiculous decision if either are available.
