Early Trade Rumours 2023

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

Dane Rampe is only 184cms and has done a stellar job guarding tall defenders for a decade.

Dale Morris was 190cms and has probably been the best key defender we've ever had (who happened to be able to effectively guard small forwards as well).

I care less about size and more about ability to defend. And Doedee is a very good actual defender - he's comfortably much better than everyone on our list except Liam Jones.

Richards is better but I get your point.

Thoughts on Bergman?

Would love him.

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

Talented player but whats his best position or where would he play for us?

Bang! Duryea replacement. Excellent player.

No surprise WC want Naughton more than English.

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

Why trade Naughton for Barass when they both could do the same role and Naughton has 4 years on Barrass. We would be silly to promote this.

Not sure anyone has said that at all to be fair.

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

Is there even a remote chance we might be interested in recruiting Tom Doedee to match up against the bigger forwards?
Are we still talking about Doedee?
This means that someone like Caleb Daniel would never arrive at the Kennel and if he did he couldnt play anywhere other than as a forward.

If you followed the conversation, you wouldn't post this

Well the post you wrote with us getting pick 1 Barass lohman, Rayner. I know you said it won’t happen but you usually give us some great and very plausible trade scenarios. This one would be blocked not only at our club but 2 others.

Ever, ever, ever.

Was just rolling rumours into a mega rumour. I don’t see Naughton requesting a trade this year. But the WCE rumours seem to be persisting. Which I find very interesting. But anything less than obscene return on Naughton shuts that discussion down on the spot. Making the rest a moot point.

Realistically, names like Bergman and Rayner are interesting enough. I hope Lohmann picks us. We need a KPD too it appears the more the season goes on. So maybe a guy like McKay comes more into frame, but Barass would be a better get. Not sure how we’d juggle multiple bigger trades without someone else of trade value going.

In any event, it sounds like an interesting off season for us.

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023

So a role similar to what Doedee offers?

Yep. Identical.
There are some questions on his ball use as he's a bit like Crozier - kicks long, almost regardless of the situation.
Probably closer to Wood though as he doesn't just intercept, he takes his opponent out of the equation too. IIRC we were very into him in his draft year. More versatile than Wood as he's played HF as well and could feasibly play wing.

I know you?ve been a fan of Bergman since his draft year and have regularly mentioned him as an option to filling a wing role.

Yeah. I know he's had criticisms over his kicking this year but it's a case of looking at what he does, not at what he doesn't do.

No one in their right mind will want to go to West coast next year.

In terms of finals ambitions then probably not but there will be some interested if the club is willing to pay overs.

Players who aren’t getting a chance at other clubs will , just to play senior footy eg Macrae at the pies .
