Trade Targets

[mo64 5,789]

I'm usually one for getting nice new shiny toys, but after our trades over the past 3 years, I'd rather we went through the draft and got a batch of 5-6 kids in the door. I would be more than happy with another couple of kids of the calibre of Windsor and Tholstrup.

Watching the Casey team this season being filled with failed recruits from other clubs, and very little junior talent, I have more confidence in Jason Taylor than Tim Lamb/Alan Richardson.

Would definitely ask the question of Riccardi and was disappointed when he re-signed with them

Plus it doesn’t hurt that he’s ex Werribee   

On that note I seriously hope Goody is getting down to their Prelim today, they’ve been such an impressive side this year and have some great footballers (Mannagh and Clohsey to name a couple)

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

I love Dom Brew, but don't think he'll get any real AFL interest. 

Jack Riding is the one that I've been told has attracted some enquiries from AFL clubs, as well as Bice.

Brew has got some interest at AFL level. There is a level of resilience and dedication similar to Mannagh in why clubs love him. 

His work rate is elite and obviously his consistency at VFL level is why I think clubs see similar to Mannagh.

For those keen on seeing some highlights of Bice.

Ive cooled on delisted players. cant remember a good example of one in recent times that has come back and established themselves at another team. Please correct me if im wrong as i got no sleep.

Can't question his work ethic or determination - bloke is an animal. Pretty unlikely a late 20s, 5'11" athletically limited pure midfielder gets picked up unfortunately. He was BOG again today in the prelim.

Mannagh has pace on his side, and hit the scoreboard. He's a better version of Kade Chandler.

Mannagh clearly had afl level talent the issue was whether he was going to play a team game and do the defensive stuff. The cats left him in the vfl for a long time this year just to get that buy in.

Brew seems to be the absolute vfl midfielder. Clubs rarely go for those guys. That said, Geelong have one who when in form this year and in 2022 he makes a huge impact and that’s Tom Atkins. Brew bosses around afl listed players in the vfl. It’s a huge step up trying to do that to Lachie Neale rather than Jarryd Lyons but who knows, if he has the tank then maybe.

Mass D’Ambrosio was stiff not to be AA.

Jez Sharp was best 22 for Freo all year.

Oleg Markov played in a flag last year.

Frankie Evans is settled in Port’s side right now.

Mason Wood excellent for St Kilda. Stocker not half bad either.

Levi Casboult had a good run at the Suns.

Not many get chances but those who do  have a reasonable success rate I think. 

Kaine Baldwin might be the standout from a bunch of bad names so far but teams generally wait until trade week for their better quality delistings.

There has been a few but I would agree that 90% end up being delisted again the next season for a second or sometimes a third time!!!

Anyone know Henry Smith from the Lions?

206cm ruckman 12 tackles and 52 hitouts in the VFL Prelim.

scored 17.11 this year too. 

At 21, would be a good fit to learn from Gawny?

[DubDee 25,231]

Riccardi definitely worth a look. not getting a game. 

And Brown isnt even in the emergencies. We should go hard and hopefully land one. Cadman looking like he’ll be a gun so they are stacked

He’s definitely going to be a player. He’s had 3 years in the system and bulking out.  At 21yo, now he’s in line behind Omac (30) and he’s gone past Fort.  Smith debuted this year.  Contracted to 2026. Lions wouldn’t be letting him go.  He’s better than Verrall or Fullarton imv.

Jeez that Peatling is great he’d be a fantastic pickup. 

[Nascent 8,966]

Guess we can expect to find out the intentions of a few GWS players this week.

Get it done Dees 😈

[dazzledavey36 53,866]

GWS now officially out.

Seems like Peatling will stay.

Wonder if we'll hear Waje Derksen request a trade?

[Lord Neville X Flash 270]

Riccardi only out of the team through injury right?

Wouldn't have much reason to request a trade, apart from money or family reasons

Correct. Hadn't missed a game from Round 10 last year until he got injured this year and needed surgery which ended his season. Lachie Keeffe, who hadn't played to that point, took his spot as the third tall/back-up ruck (with Hogan and Cadman the other two).

I’m not sure Keeffe didn’t offer more tho as a genuine back up ruck and big aggressive body.

Riccardi a taller less talented Fritsch. The two of them in the same side would drive supporters (not just me) crazy.

Wouldn’t shock me if the Giants moved on Riccardi to open the spot for Max G. Especially if they pick up Crows Himmelberg for mature depth. But I suspect they keep him to cover the young talls.

Odd.  Did we finish 14th again next year as well as being allowed a two year future first pick trade exemption?

No mate, we offered LY and this Year Picks and way it has turned out means it is the largest offer ever made for one player/pick based on the points its ended-up accumulating at.

Matt Kennedy told to explore his options

[Purple77 1,001]

Yes please Matt Kennedy

Would definitely fit the bill if we’re looking for experienced midfield depth 

I actually really rate Kennedy so wouldn’t mind it at all if he came for a later pick or two
