My gut feel is Clarry stays, Trac will be traded for picks

Welcome CJ. Great replacement for Judd. Ensures Riv and others do not have to make up the difference in the backline next year.

Assuming the new Casey head coach, pinched from Gippsland Power

Ainsworth is not much of an upgrade on Durdin surely?

Don't mind it, still not 100% confident Howes or Adams locks down a spot as the 3rd tall.

I still blame him for the missed spoil in the Carlton final

Probably about right unfortunately

The top end of the draft has a handful of tough, capable ball users We know these young players can make an instant impact as well Missing out on Flanders is disappointing but Humphrey is a fantasy, more than likely we will receive 6 and 13

Has requested a trade, presume there will be a token 4th rounder to not dilute the compo

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.
