Trade Rumours 2025

[Dogs 24/7]

The Bergman thing is super interesting to me.

On paper, he’s a good enough player who probably still has some upside particularly based on role mix and function in the right system. He’s hitting his prime years. He’s versatile.

The allergic reaction seems to be around the price range. I don’t think we have fans have quite clocked the salary required to get deals done, and the relativity of that salary come the end of a long contract as year on year increases continue to kick in. They’re scary sums of money for most of us, however the world we live in.

Im all for it if we think he helps us become a better side (and I’m confident he does).

We don't often bring in former first round picks who are approaching their best phase in football and I can't see Port will want an overs trade to get it done.
I'm not confident that we can get this done.

Given the cap increased by 45% in 3 years and our ridiculous cap space after losing out on Barrass and then losing Macrae, Daniel & Floggo, I think we're more than ok for cap.

Now that the Dogs are officially out of the race for Rowell, expect them to ramp up their pursuit for Port Adelaide’s Miles Bergman.
They also have strong interest in Zak Butters, but that’s seen as more ‘live’ for 12 months time.

I keep reading how weak this draft is, and Port will hold Zak for 2026 due to this. If they think he is gone, then get it done, get 12 months ahead of the rebuild and before Tassie. Cobined with future pick trades, why tread water for 12 months.
SA have performed really well in the Nat Champs, surely there are some prospects there they are looking at.
