2021 Trade Period Talk

Re: 2021 Trade Period Talk

Carlton, not sure what sort of list they’re building to be honest.

A 'make it up as you go along and hope for the best' type list? They don't seem to have an overall strategy other than to see what name players becomes available each post season that they can give away high draft picks for when they would be better off addressing holes in their list by bringing in draftees. Each year they just seem to get further and further away from being successful.

Michael Talia was forced to leave Bevo refused to speak to him or answer his calls and texts.
Can confirm work with his best mate, who happens to be Brian Taylors son that bunch of boys were very close

Bevo refused to speak to him or answer his calls and texts.

For the life of me I can't work out why.

Anyway didn't he lose his phone or something?

Thank god we aren't linked to Xerri, how he is on an AFL list is beyond me.

So does Collingwood now have enough draft points if Daicos goes number one?

Yes, they now have around 2940 points and only need 2400 to match pick one. Means they can use their pick 36 in a way to try and get Lipinski and Kreuger.

Tristan Xerri is the newest name on the ruck merry-go-round as the potential implications begin from Tiger Callum Coleman-Jones’ impending arrival at North Melbourne.

St Kilda is on the hunt for a younger ruckman to partner Rowan Marshall beyond next year, which looms as veteran big man Paddy Ryder’s last in the AFL.

It’s understood the Saints have honed in on contracted Kangaroo Xerri after also showing interest in Western Bulldog Jordon Sweet, who remains without a contract for 2022 and is linked to West Coast.

The Bulldogs have made Sweet an offer to stay, but he was overlooked in the finals for Lewis Young, who has since requested a trade to Carlton.

North Melbourne would have to be willing to trade Xerri, who isn’t out of contract until the end of next year.

He averaged 21.5 disposals, 15.5 contested possessions, 5.5 clearances and 26.2 hit-outs in six VFL games this year, but played only eight matches at senior level, all in the second half of the season.

Todd Goldstein remains the clear No. 1 ruck option at the Roos but turns 34 next year, when his three-year contract expires.

Tom Campbell kept 201cm Xerri out of the side up until Round 13 while serving as Goldstein’s deputy.

North has identified Coleman-Jones as Goldstein’s ruck successor and convinced him to cross to Arden St, with a trade set to be brokered with Richmond before Wednesday week.

But that would leave Xerri, 22, third in line in the ruck at the Kangaroos as he enters his fifth season at AFL level.

Several other clubs, including Hawthorn, the Bulldogs, Brisbane, Sydney and even Geelong, are also surveying the ruck market.

The Hawks told veteran Jon Ceglar, who is contracted for next season, to explore his options two years after the Lions tried to lure him from Waverley Park as a free agent.

Industry sources believe Hawthorn would be willing to pay a chunk of Ceglar’s salary to help organise a trade.

The Hawks are among the suitors for Port Adelaide ruckman Peter Ladhams, who Power officials made clear in his exit meeting was unlikely to leapfrog Scott Lycett to become the club’s No. 1 option.

Ceglar, who turns 31 in February, and Hawthorn captain Ben McEvoy, 32, are both out of contract next season, with the Hawks’ only other listed ruckman being five-gamer Ned Reeves.

Hawthorn inquired about Collingwood’s Max Lynch last year as well.

The Swans have renewed interest in Ladhams, a player they’ve asked about previously.

Port Adelaide football boss Chris Davies has made it clear it wouldn’t give Ladhams away cheaply, even though his back-ended deal peaks next season.

A second-round pick looms as his potential trade value if he is to move.

Brisbane is keen on contracted Cats big man Darcy Fort and has shown interest in Mason Cox and Levi Casboult – given Eric Hipwood’s long-term knee injury – while Ceglar could come into the Lions’ calculations again.

The Bulldogs and Geelong are other potential landing points for Ceglar.

Was reported he gave sensitive information on the game plan for the elimination final vs Adelaide,

I was being sarcastic.

You might call it being forced out, I call it being an idiot and getting what's coming.

Re: 2021 Trade Period Talk

He did, wasn't a great move then he lied about it and the AFL swept it under the rug.
It's a real shame considering the historical connection with his grand dad and it really ended his career as he struggled up in Sydney (think there was a drug incident?).

Honestly I think it's time to try and repair that relationship and build a bridge but I don't think it will ever happen under Beveridge.

Re: 2021 Trade Period Talk

Was made all the more complicated and ugly because Kyle Cheney who had been a player under Bevo at Hawthorn let the cat out of the bag. From Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Cheney_(footballer)

At the end of the season, Cheney was issued with a warning by the AFL after unintentionally starting and facilitating an allegation that Western Bulldogs defender Michael Talia had shared sensitive information with his brother, Adelaide defender Daniel Talia, ahead of their two clubs meeting in the 2015 Second Elimination Final, an allegation the pair were cleared of

Another stunning example of the AFL throwing a scapegoat under the bus. I mean, how Cheney ended up with a warning out of all this is beyond me.......well, it isn't really.

Seriously we just have to go for Ladhams. I can't see any value in all these other guys, even Ceglar.

We might have to offer up a good player but so be it.

Time is now.
