Early Trade Rumours 2023

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

We need a forward who can sit at feet of packs and crumb
I not convinced its natural to weightman as he likes to fly for marks
I am yet to see this ability from any of the small fwd
Maybe McNeil has it

Can we train for crumbing ? Tall fwd brings ball to ground , small fwd sweep up and crumb for goal .

Dixom did a lovely tap to Rioli last week which resulted in a goal, there is synergy there

Miles Bergman contract talks

Port Adelaide youngster Miles Bergman is focusing on his football, rather than his contract talks, as he puts off a decision of his future until later on the season.

Bergman is without a deal beyond this season and in career-best form, ensuring interest from rival clubs in his home state of Victoria.

The 21-year-old said he was enjoying his time at the Power and his call would boil down to ?what feels right?.

?At the moment, I?m not focused on that (contract discussions), that?ll happen later in the year,? said Bergman, whom Port Adelaide drafted with its first pick, No. 14, in 2019.

?The club and I have talked about it and we said we?re both comfortable just to wait because we?re really enjoying the way we?re playing at the moment.

?We?ll get to the decision when it comes.

?I?m loving the club and just want to play some good footy.?

Bergman said he had felt more settled at Alberton after really struggling with homesickness during his first few years at the club.

?Every year I?ve felt more comfortable and more confident in myself, and get along with the boys better and am really close with the coaches,? he said.

I hope we're in the ear of some of these uncontracted talented youngsters.

I'd like any of Hobbs, Lohmann or Bergman and think they fit needs as inside mid depth, a crumbing/pressure forward or a meters-gained wing.

I wonder if Henry and Horne-Francis have started to shift the landscape somewhat for these younger guys straight out of their draft or coming off their initial contracts.

Mofra likes this.

I'd imagine he would cost a bit though.

I'd rather hit the draft than grab Hobbs.

I think he read it on the Herald Sun website and doesn’t want to admit it.

Closet reader as long as he isn't paying for it. Seriously though I think I read it elsewhere.

here you go, probably old news now ! how are the pies going to fit him in the salary cap ? or... brown paper bags...


If his speaking to Taranto, the Tigers have this deal in the background.

Collingwood apparently interested in Tarryn Thomas according to Foxfooty here

Would any one on WOOF look at him if available?

If his life is on track, if the price is right (salary and trade), then I’d look at least. Can’t hurt to look at bringing in players who’d be best 22.

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

He was good yesterday (but not in the top 5 on the ground...) and generally speaking has plenty of talent.

We would need to have a LOT of confidence in our system to improve him as a person, based on the allegations made earlier this year.

No. Too much of a grub for my liking.
