Early Trade Rumours for 2022

[Bulldog4life]

Thoughts on bringing in Oskar Baker ?

Saw him play a few games. None really outstanding. Speedy. Couldn't get a look in this years Melbourne side. We must see something in him so looking forward to see what it is.

[Axe Man]

I see James Rowe has signed for Woodville-West Torrens so I assume that means we are unlikely to pick him up. Baker may be our only DFA signing.

[FrediKanoute]

Well we do need to inject pace into the team.

Not if it only means we can turn the ball over quicker

Jury still firmly out for mine

[Bulldog Joe]

His pace will be handy for us but this Baker is also a Butcher of the football.

What's he like at making candlesticks.

If we had made a swap with Melbourne with Hunter for Baker every one of our supporters would be screaming but given its been done more or less in isolation there is now some merit in it for many of us. Hope he proves me wrong but we are going to the state leagues and recruiting too many players with questionable skills.

I am ok with this. Low expectations but we need speed. Low cost option.

[Happy Days]

Not into this at all. A low possession poor user who at least turns it over fast? We already have one of those and you guys all hate him.

What exactly has he ever shown in his time at Melbourne that has made us think this is worth pursuing?

I am with you HD, I can't see why we would be chasing him. His record is poor and if he was any good he would still be at Melbourne.

And clearly his parents also hate him by sentencing him to a life of constantly having to spell his Christian name to everybody he meets.

Richmond and Essendon are among clubs offering trials to delisted players this pre-season.

According to AFL.com.au’s Josh Gabelich, the Tigers are set to trial three players during the pre-season supplemental period, including delisted Geelong midfielder Quinton Narkle.

Along with Narkle, country footballer Kaelen Bradtke and Oakleigh Chargers defender Luke Teal will train for a place at Punt Road.

Narkle was delisted by Geelong after playing 41 games in six seasons at the Cattery.

The 25-year-old played eight times in 2022 and reportedly received interest from several clubs including West Coast and Fremantle as he looks to continue his AFL career in 2023.

Over at Tullamarine, Code Sports’ Paul Amy is reporting that former Hawthorn and Collingwood wingman Tom Phillips will trial at Essendon.

Phillips has joined the club’s VFL program and will trial for an AFL list spot this pre-season.

The 26-year-old has 115 games of AFL experience to his name but featured only four times in 2022 as he struggled with poor form and injury issues.

So far we don't seem to have anyone, but hopefully we will in the new year.

Could save a spot for the mid-season?
