Re: Trade Rumours 2024

I've never understood that. If someone comes to post and has a reasonable posting history there should be no reason not to believe it.

'Cos anyone who has 'real' info wouldn't post it???

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

It's all in good banter. But let's not ruin a good thing. We're trying to speak this into existence.

Butters coming to the Whitten Oval is not a joke to me. #DarleyBhoy

Surprised the media aren’t running more with the Butters stuff tbh.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

I'm still relatively new to the forum so pardon me if this is a silly question, but do we have any posters on Woof with a link to inside knowledge regarding trade and list management stuff that share from time to time? Only asking because it's not often we see those kinds of posts, and it's mainly info from BF and other areas that is shared chinese whispers style.

I?ve lived life under a cloak and I?m glad you?ve asked the question.
Just follow me. I speak accuracy.

Everyone else here makes it up. It?s cute but sloppy.


First inside intel? We?re full strength for first final. And we win by exactly 47 points. If we don?t? let?s converse.



We also only get 1 first rounder for Baz.

This guy is getting a few clubs interested in him

INTRIGUING INTEREST BUILDING FOR UNCAPPED GIANT

As GWS continue their chase for a maiden AFL premiership, rival clubs whose season is already over are ramping up their interest in untried Giants utility Wade Derksen.

Taken by the Giants in the 2022 Mid-Season Draft, Derksen is yet to represent the orange and charcoal in his two years at the club, but has compiled some solid VFL form across his time there.

“Wade Derksen’s probably not on the lips of many footy fans, but he is on the lips of recruiters and he’s going to be in the trade market,” the Herald Sun’s Josh Barnes revealed on Fox Footy’s Midweek Tackle.

“He has multiple suitors in Victoria, WA clubs are after him as well. He’s playing at GWS in the VFL this year, he’s played defence all year – he also thinks he’s a forward, kicked six goals (in three games) late in the year for GWS!”

The key defender averaged a tick under 20 disposals and seven marks this season in the VFL, and last year kicked multiple bags of five goals when playing up forward – highlighting his versatility.

“Melbourne Demons are one club that are after him, he’s about to have twins this week so he’s after a bit more family support – he has that both in WA and Victoria, but Victoria’s probably his preference (as) he has a bit more family support there,” Barnes added.

Derksen is one of nine Giants signed on at the club until 2025, which makes the interest from clubs such as Melbourne more interesting, with GWS well within their rights to hold him for another 12 months before moving.

Wade Derksen isn’t a household name, but he is of interest to multiple rival clubs this off-season (Source: Phil Hillyard)

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

It's well known in football circles that Ken Hinkley and Zac Butters have a very strong almost father/son like relationship. Whisper is that if Port Adelaide get smoked again this weekend that Hinkley is almost certain to leave and if that happens that Butters would increasingly look to move back to Victoria to continue his career. Here's hoping for a Hawks win this coming weekend. Surely we would have started working to get him back to his childhood club. Get onto it Dogs.

Has Butters played well in any of their finals matches? I know Port have been largely finalist flops in recent years. We’d want to know Butters rises to finals pressure well before we go all chips in. I recall he has been fined a lot for rough conduct so has a bit of angry ant in him, which could be good for us.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Butters is exactly what player we need. A bit of mongrel. Also speed and skill. Butters Bont Ed in the guts would be wild

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

I've had a a couple of calls in recent days from Bulldogs supporters asking if the Butters too the Dogs speculation has any merit

Other names we are apparently been speaking to clubs about are
Angus Sheldrick
Campbell Chesser
James Peatling
Finn Callaghan

Callahan would be massive. We need to throw the sink at him.

Out of contract end of 2025 - go for it

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Would Callaghan be massive though? We would need to give up a ton and like, what does he actually do? He looks like a million bucks but he’s nowhere near as impactful as you’d assume he is.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Also Chesser suuuuuuuuucks I have no interest in him.
