They have another project ruck in Dodson who they will retain https://www.saints.com.au/players/10708/alex-dodson

Picks are appealing for the Suns. They are in the market for Sainters first rounder in a deal for Flanders. Bidding on academy players is much more expensive compared to previous years.

Would do Petracca and 23 or Spargo comp for Humphrey in a heartbeat

The players are clearly leaking it. Clayton posted an instagram story, tagging Mitch Cleary, with Mitch reposting the story and saying thanks for the chat Clayton.

If we get Miochek, send Petty back and retain May - there is no reason to trade for Derksen

Absolutely part of necessary due diligence to assess the market for Oliver. While i can't say I am a fan of seeing Petracca meet with other clubs and entertaining trades. Retaining Petracca and shipping Oliver will be the best move for short term on-field success. If both are departing, we must be targeting some young best 22 players to trade in, because if we get a stack of mediocre draft picks I think it will blow up in our face.

I might be delusional but I am still a believer

Found a way to improve his form mid-season when others couldn't, showed some genuine grit in the process. A good year on the whole for Fritta.

We know him and the club are open to a trade, he has met with a club open to that trade. What is the fuss.

Getting Flanders immediately gives us an immediate upgrade on McVee I ponder a 3 way deal... Dees get Flanders for McVee and a 2nd rounder, Freo give 11 and get McVee and 2nd rounder, GC give Flanders, get 11

No loyalty to the club that took a punt on him as a rookie and developed to play at an AFL level. Disappointing result.

If any deal with GC involves Petracca, it would be nonsense to bring in Flanders on anything close to 900k.

Goody still going on about his learnings

Mobility and form was improved after the ankle surgery. If he can refine his style a bit more I think he can get some games in 2026.

Will Faulkner, the author of this article was also constantly pushing for NAS to join the Crows as well. Definitely a biased news source.

Most jobs have a '2 weeks notice' period don't they

Crows don't have picks but they have cap space This makes them a very suitable trade partner Pick swaps and future pick trading can make this work

Heath/Derksen should both cost 4th rounders IMO 2nd rounder for Heath surely not

There was 1 trade rumour he was going to the Bulldogs that was shutdown immediately

I don't disagree but the correlation of May signing a 1 year extension under Goody, and then being told to back his bags under King sticks out like a sore thumb.

We just delisted nearly 3/4 of cat A rookie list. We can retain Henderson comfortably and still have plenty of list spots. He gets a chance to go again with a full preseason. Makes sense with Spargo's move. We have a really weak draft hand at the moment. Recycling rookies without giving them a real chance gets you nowhere.

Bartel being hunted by Port for their department manager as well

No interest

Last year was one of our worst ever for scores against, not much lost IMO
