2021 Trade Period Talk

Re: 2021 Trade Period Talk

Richmond ruck forward Callum Coleman-Jones will play for North Melbourne next year in a coup for a Kangaroos side that can cater for his desire to play in the ruck.

The Herald Sun understands Coleman-Jones will nominate the Roos as his new home, with the club happy to play him and Todd Goldstein as a ruck tandem.

Goldstein is an accomplished ruckman and has thrived on the workload of playing sole ruck but is equally adept at pushing forward to play as a marking forward.

Richmond could not promise Coleman-Jones ruck time with Ivan Soldo is returning from an ACL tear to play alongside Toby Nankervis.

The Suns have given up hope of luring the key position forward north and all that is left is for Coleman-Jones to officially ask the Tigers for a trade.

It means the Tigers will lose both Coleman-Jones and Mabior Chol, who is set to join Gold Coast as a free agent on a three-year deal with a trigger for a fourth.

The Tigers will have to strike a deal with North Melbourne on Coleman-Jones. The Kangaroos be unwilling to give up their second-round selection at pick 20 given Coleman-Jones only played eight games this year.

The 22-year-old was a pick 20 in the 2017 national draft.

Good…
I didn’t want either.

To lose both will hurt Richmond. I'm surprised they'd let either of them go.

Riewoldt is almost done, Nank won't be around forever. Both CCJ and Chol have showed they have a bit to work with.

They really seem committed to the Soldo/Nank combo which seems weird as they're similar. I would have thought a Nank/CCJ combo suits them better and CCJ says he wants to ruck more so he goes to a team with the best solo ruck of the past decade.

After the Pruess career path I've stopped assuming rucks know what the hell they're doing though.

I don't think it's too bad a move for CCJ. One or two years max playing with Goldy and learning off him before taking over the number one role in a side that should be improving.

I'm not quite sure he ever becomes a no 1 ruck. They also have the promising Xerri on the list, he's more a no 1 than a no 2 option though.

Re: 2021 Trade Period Talk

This excerpt about Daniel Talia didn't surprise me. Maybe the details of the event were on his lost phone?

"Talia played his 200th and final match for the Crows under duress against the Tigers in round 18 last year and admitted he could've finished his campaign earlier and headed for post-season surgery.

He opted not to attend the club's best and fairest last month after not being offered a contract extension."

Sounds like a real sook.

Xerri worth chasing?

North have put a lot of work into him. He's still a bit raw and has little forward craft so it's a big ask to expect he'l come in and take the no 1 ruck job.
If we were going down that path I would have gone hard at Stachan from the Crows, but he just re-signed.

I liked the bit just before that:

Geelong has also enquired about Talia as it weighs up what to do with its ageing list in the wake of last week's preliminary final disaster.

Don't ever change Geelong.

Bit of talk elsewhere about tall defender Schlensog.

Thoughts?

There's talk that as he was delisted over 12 months ago he isn't within the DFA rules and would need to be drafted or rookied.
I hope we get some form of KPD cover.

Then wouldn’t he be eligible for acquisition in the SSP? For free. (Out of the game for a year - Mumford, Zac Clarke etc used it to pick their club)

I think that rule got changed once GWS used it to circumvent their salary cap and it had therefore served its purpose.
