Thread to discuss trade rumours and possible trades for 2024.
Richmond have 23 players out of contract.
Any we should target?
Quote:
Richmond’s 23 out-of-contract players
Liam Baker, Seth Campbell, Mate Colina, Matt Coulthard, Noah Cumberland, Thomson Dow, Jack Graham, Steely Green, Dylan Grimes, Mykelti Lefau, Rhyan Mansell, Dustin Martin, Kamdyn McIntosh, Ben Miller, Sam Naismith, Toby Nankervis, Marlion Pickett, Dion Prestia, Hugo Ralphsmith, Maurice Rioli, Jack Ross, Samson Ryan, James Trezise.
Nank depending on what happens with Tim. At 29yo, the perfect plug and play replacement if required.
Honestly - nobody.
If by miracle we sign Tim English and have cap space, we have to be talking to Liam Duggan as a FA.
Dustin Martin is an interesting one. He is starting to drop off without the players around him. Age as well.
I’d take Dusty. Who even cares if the fit is bad it would be so sick.
If Dusty leaves Gold Coast would have to be the short priced favourite.
Fairly underwhelming list to be honest.
Agree with the Nank suggestion as a plug and play option if Tim takes off but wouldn't come cheap being a current club captain. Only other option for me would be the under rated Liam Baker who is capable as a small back, small forward and for mine could play as that hard nosed defensively minded mid who has a healthy dose of shite about him and could be the closest thing we have had to a player capable of locking down on an out of control oppo mid.
Gettables saying Hawthorn, Sydney and Richmond are into Jamarra.
Cal waffling on about he could get offered a 10 year deal to move.
For dirt cheap depth contracts:
Ben Miller if he?s delisted (at minimum I?d like him in our VFL side given his versatility).
McIntosh as UFA, experienced wing option (depending on what happens with Poulter tbh)
Baker, Rioli and Nank would all be best 22 options, but probably all close to untouchable (especially the latter two)
(According to Cal Twomey)
-Bailey Smith has knocked back the 2 years we've offered him
-Dogs are chasing John Noble
(According to BigFooty)
-Dogs are chasing John Noble AND Harry Perryman (Posted by someone who broke the Noble story before Twomey did)
-Dogs are chasing Liam Duggan, Ollie Florent & Max Holmes
-Significant interested in English from WetToast but most likely will stay with us
-JUH deal not far off
Reads like we're sounding out medium defenders specifically rather than having anyone in particular locked in.
If we get English and Jamarra signed up, I can live with seeing Bailey off. Would rather he stayed but hey, maybe McCluggage is interested in coming to Melbourne?
Perryman would be a good get. Kicks the shit out of it.
Noble is just shitty Caleb and we barely want to play the good version of him. Can’t see why we would be interested.
Noble would be ok for cheap, JJ will be 32 before next season, pace from the backline is important.
Noble has a crack but he's average at best.
Liam Duggan?
Smith for Holmes.. straight swap ?
I’d say Holmes is 1000/1 to come to us.
Believe big footy at your peril. Throw enough stories out there you will eventually get one right, not by information but by guessing.
So the rumors have 3 half back types in the mix to come to us in Florent, Duggan and Noble. I have some doubts that it's a position of genuine need for us.
I'm sort of hoping that's the intention with Bramble and maybe Gallagher.
We don't have a lot of trading chips for next season unless we are prepared to offer future picks as BT alerted us to so I guess we need to test free agency or find some some Cash Converter type players.
If we are in the market for a running half back, why not Cumming who is an unrestricted free agent?
GIANTS FREE AGENT WATCH
GREATER Western Sydney free agent Isaac Cumming is expected to generate interest from rivals this year despite his injury-hit absence in the first half of the season.
Cumming is an unrestricted free agent for the Giants, meaning he could depart without the Giants having the option to match a bid for him, and is not rushing into a contract decision as he recovers from soft-tissue setbacks to start his 2024 campaign.
The 25-year-old had an ongoing quad problem that was due to set back his start of the season before then suffering a calf injury during his recovery recently, likely ruling him out for the first two months of the year.
But clubs are still set to monitor Cumming as a potential free agent recruit given the Giants' wealth of attacking half-backs seeing him likely play on a wing when he returns from injury.
The Giants Academy product, who was a top-20 pick in the 2016 draft, played 65 of a possible 72 games in the past three seasons. ? Callum Twomey

I really like Cumming (pause). He’s a beautiful user and has enough size to be a competent defender across a range of players.
Noble was fantastic tonight.
Noble can play as more of a Duryea type lockdown as well. Not sure if that is a strength of Duggan or Florent?
