List Mgmt. 2023 Trade Thread - Part I

After 2 years of what looks like a decent period in the draft, I am expecting us to go a little harder at the trade table this year.

It looks like a fairly ordinary year in terms of free agents, but there are some good young players coming out of contract.

Finn Callaghan would be at the top of that list.

Callaghan played with Windhager, Owens, Heath, Peris and McLennan at the Dragons which may help our cause.

Ben McKay

I doubt we would trade for another midfielder, when we desperately need another key tall forward/2nd ruckman. Hayes might come on and kill it when he returns but we still need another ready to play tall IMO. Agree with Mowman also Ben McKay as free agent would be nice.

 

[plugger66]

Pretty hard to tell yet. Based on last year we still need quality mids first but I have a feeling that will change by years end and we may have an oversupply. We need a key or forward ruck urgently. Think we are ok for tall backs. At the end of the day if someone wants to come to us who has real class you grab them wherever they play.

All well and good if there is a good key forward available that wants to come, but the chances of getting a quality one in the draft is never high.

I can see us targeting a McLean type and no doubt Ben King will again be a target the following year

 

[BrutThough]

Would love Callaghan but another key forward should be our main target.

Harry Himmelberg the only notable of the gettable KPF's on the Free Agents list so more likely will be looking at someone via a trade.

From our own players, getting Gresh (RFA) and NWM extended should be our highest priority.

Have been putting work into him the last 2 years

There just aren’t a lot of others out contract this year unfortunately.

A few shit kickers but outside of that we’d be targeting contracted players and paying a premium.

Agree it’s our biggest need though

Tom De Koning would cost a lot but would someone worth enquiring about.

With it likely being Franklin, Riewoldt, Walker and even Hawkins last season, it could be a tough year in the key forward trade market too.

Nick Bryan from Essendon is someone we’ve shown interest in and would come cheap

Not out of contract until next year. No chance this year.

Thought he had signed a 2 year extension, year one being 2022, year two being 2023?

Signed at the start of last season

This is the first year

 

[ScrappyDo]

Ben McKay

Yes, but won't happen.

 

[plugger66]

Yes, but won't happen.

I suppose question is why would he. Would earn more there and clarkson will be heading into his second year. They would have to have a shocker to even think about it.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

If Callaghan is available .... do what it takes

Can never have too many gun mids

Imagine .... Windy, Owens, Wanga, Phillipou, Bytel, Hotton and Callaghan all thru the middle in a few years... with the added experience of Steele, Sincs, Clark & Gresh still available

Another 190+ mid. We would absolutely bully teams.

Most likely not
But we have been speaking to him and his management for 2 years now, we have the hots for him can only have a crack

Should be easy enough to pry out of GWS this year. It would cost our FRDP but thats perfectly fine.
Hopefully Keeler, Allison or Sharman can alleviate the need for another KPF in the short term.

Ross has said we will be going to draft the next couple of years I thought

Admittedly l haven't seen him in years but would Phil Davis be worth a 2y deal if GWS want to move him on?

No, he's cooked.

If you can snaffle a pick#3 who is only 21yo then that's as good as.

No
He is done
Hamstrings are gone
