BigFooty AFLW Notice Img
AFLW 2025 - AFLW Trade and Draft - All the player moves
Due to a number of factors, support for the current BigFooty mobile app has been discontinued. Your BigFooty login will no longer work on the Tapatalk or the BigFooty App - which is based on Tapatalk.
Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
No-one's suggesting we bring him in as a succession plan for Vossy
I know what you mean but most who gets roles straight after retirement tend to get development roles.Obviously. But I think the natural assumption when we talk about bringing a player in with a promise of a transition to coaching, is that they'd be looking at an assistant role. Some players just have that way about them, that suggests they'd be quite astute in the coaching space. Treloar just doesn't strike me as that type, is all I'm saying, so if we were considering a player->coach offer for him I'd rather it was a much more entry level coaching gig rather than taking one of the senior lines with no experience.

PS I have no idea if he's interested or suitable

Think he’s had enough chancessounds like lij is going regardless what offer we get. they just don't want him around. just wish they didn't give up on him
Hey guys first time poster how about bringing in kaiden coleman from Brisbane hasn't played afl since doing he's acl opening round 2024, out of contract end of next year could be one we could potentially get on the cheap
sounds like lij is going regardless what offer we get. they just don't want him around. just wish they didn't give up on him

A: Why would GCS do that, when they’ve already got mids coming out the wazoo?
B: adding Fogarty is the opposite of a sweetener.
C: I think Cerra strangely gets a bad wrap here.
I wouldn't take him if he was freeJust been over on the Swans board reading how excited they are about getting Charlie but not keen on giving too much up. Amarteys name came up,surely they can't be serious.![]()
Not really. He tested the market last time around with zero interest. Coming off an ACL. New position. Our offer was market and pretty good for his previous X amount of data/performance.It was speculated we started Jack's negotiations in late June...make of that what you will. If its an UFA you want to keep I'd probably fire up discussions earlier.
TDK...I don't know what our offer is or when it was tabled. I'll say one thing for the Saints - they knew they had to go hard and go early to get this done.
I do. Hope we can redeemHas anyone shown interest in Elijah?
He may be the only one of his 'type' that we can afford, so no issue with using him as a stop gap for 12-24 months (form permitting) until we can get a younger and better of his type.I wouldn't bother with Treloar in our current position. We need his type, but not the age or injury history.
He's a bit like Walsh in that he needs confidence in the body to get to the next contest. I don't think he can do it at the top level anymore. Keep the list spot for someone else.He may be the only one of his 'type' that we can afford, so no issue with using him as a stop gap for 12-24 months (form permitting) until we can get a younger and better of his type.
We may already have the younger and better type in Jagga. This could be a good roll of the dice to get this type into our midfield while taking 12 months to develop Jagga at half back.He may be the only one of his 'type' that we can afford, so no issue with using him as a stop gap for 12-24 months (form permitting) until we can get a younger and better of his type.
Does the extent to which Charlie's contract is back-ended offer scope to get us a better deal?
It's kind of a reverse salary dump.
Obviously they'll try and renegotiate to "market rate" but if a club is prepared to pony up a good trade for us conditional on taking on Curnow contract as it stands, what's he going to do? Stay because he can't get a fresh start AND a double dip on his contract?
Good Brissie talent with strong base in Brisbane, returning from injury. They would be mad to let him go.Hey guys first time poster how about bringing in kaiden coleman from Brisbane hasn't played afl since doing he's acl opening round 2024, out of contract end of next year could be one we could potentially get on the cheap
Either way it's on their terms. Having to take on a massive contract shouldn't be a roadblock to getting a deal done.Its a good idea, but wouldn't work in practice. Not a chance that Charlie doesn't get a double dip if he gets traded. A player's contract gets torn up when they're traded, so Charlie and his management can easily say "you want to trade all this to Carlton because you think I am worth so much, but you're not prepared to pay me?". Plus a club wouldn't want to invest so much in a player, only to immediately snub him as he walks through the door.
Depends on who else can do a job we need done and that is contribute to a reset/rebuild - we don't know anything except who is gone so far...and there will be more to go I suspect.Treloar got 40 disposals when he played in the Reserves against us two weeks ago.
Was All Australian last year.
This year has had soft tissue issues that held him out of the seniors for months.
Do you or dont you take him for a year?
