Early Trade Rumours 2023

Aka the Daniel Bandy recruiting rule

Does Kingsley Hunter also fall into this bracket?

Any chance we can send duds to Fremantle instead of all this one way traffic? Wills, Koops, K.Hunter, Reimers

Leave the Flying Egg out of this.

Oakleigh starting midfield trio are all underagers - it does include Ashcroft mk 2 though.
This year seems a good one for defenders, and my own opinion (perhaps I'm an outlier) is that it's a good draft for wingman this year.
Wilson, Windsor, Freijah, de la Rue, etc etc. We'll pick on up at some point.

But if the wingers are good, why aren?t they playing inside the game at u18 level...particularly if the inside mids are below par? Something is not right here.

The Coates league clubs have one mandate - get players drafted. So if they are abandoning the 2005s it doesn?t necessarily mean the 06?s have passed them...it DOES mean they still have hope for the 06?s though. U18 team selection is often agenda based not merit based.

BT, do you think Hollands would be on the trade table scenario? I'm warming to this suggestion. It would be good to add a player who has been in the system for a couple of years particularly one who can play forwards and in the midfield.

I also like the idea of adding a player who is clearly talented and been in the system.

Is Hollands worth a top ten pick in the 2024 draft?

If we could get another 15 games of experience into him by the time of the next draft that could really be an advantage for us.

Is James Jordan a free agent? If so why not take him?

Yes he is because he was delisted and then rookied. Still only 22 years old

What do you think he might be able to provide us?

A lot of decent journos are claiming he?s the good one GCS are prepared to part with. I wouldn?t pay the full F1. I?d want the F2 back at a minimum. If they could spare some points late in the draft (I think they can) or maybe a role player like Graham could sweeten it.

No! Needs to be worst a downgrade to their F2 and something else (points, Graham etc) to hand over three first rounders.

I don’t know him but as a free agent it’s cheap not sure it’s nasty.
Is he any good? 22yo. I’ll be pissed off with club being the sub on the bench in the GF and not getting a run when you win by 70.

He's a solid enough player. He'd be worth having a chat to.

Says a lot about his team mates. Not one of them put their hands up when the game was won, to give him a run.

Harmes did

Melbourne midfielder James Harmes selflessly tried to sub himself off late in the Grand Final win against the Western Bulldogs in order to give teammate James Jordon some game time.
Jordon was the medical sub for the match, and he didn't make it out onto the field in the Demons' 74-point win at Optus Stadium.

But if Harmes had his way, Jordon would have been subbed into the game with about five minutes to go.

"Harmsey was trying to have a little cramp there just so I could get on at the end," Jordon said.

"He was just trying to get me on the ground. There was only five minutes left, but it didn't end up happening."
