Early Trade Rumours 2023

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

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.

I agree, it’s the ideal draft to address defence and wing (definitely see us taking De La Rue late). I know we need to target midfielders at some stage, but it makes little sense to worry too much about it this year when there’s still strong options to target our other areas of need, unless we can trade up for McKercher.

MJP have you seen much of Lance Collard from Subi to form an opinion on whether he's a viable prospect? From the video highlights he looks electric...

Pedro, for a bit of a search, MJP has provided some overviews on Collatd

I wonder if they told Sweet this before he made a public commitment???

How do you compare an injury prone Nick Coffield to an injury prone Toby McLean, Roarke Smith or Tim O'Brien?

TOB, Sweet and Roarke are gone we need new whipping boys

If it helps the budget, I’ll just stick with VDM. We all need to do our part in these hard financial times.

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

They may ask for me but we shouldn't give them anything other than a 4th. They guys last played when? 2 years ago? Out of contract, an injury riddled career, I'd be disappointed if we gave up anything with points attached. I'd rather him stay there and draft our own.

Well in the scenario that was being discussed earlier it was more about a future pick and next year I doubt points mean that much to us but I get the point you're making.

We seem to be getting mentioned as linked to intercept types likes Doedee and Tomlinson so it's not out of the questions that Coffield might be of an interest to us. He's missed a year with a knee so should be good to do a full preseason. At the right price we should run the ruler over him but who knows if it will work.

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

Hollands hasn?t had as much opportunity as he would?ve liked, coming off his ACL, and GCS have too many good players after this draft to keep them all. His numbers were not huge this year, Stephen King played him more than Dew. .

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.

Sweet was/is pretty highly rated by a lot of our fans.

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

What would be willing to part with to land Coffield if the speculation that we have some interest in him is accurate?

He hasn't played a senior game in 2 years and only 50 games since he arrived in the AFL. They'll want something in the early 20's but he's not worth that.

Played really well against us in the 2020 final I?m guessing that is still in the memory bank.
