I think you’re right , in fact smith they may spill first , will get crazy good trade value 2 x r1 likely . And they can invest in the tall stock , that said they got Darcy and Croft,early days I spose
There’s no way the Bulldogs need to invest in tall stock. They’ve been gifted a key tall in the first round every year (at least that’s what it feels like)
 
""Jason has been working with his management trying to tie him up for a longer period of time," GWS coach Adam Kingsley told media on Wednesday.

"I don't know exactly where it sits, but as always with these sorts of players, and particularly with Aaron, we're keen to get this done quickly.


"He's a massive part of our future. A big key forward who can win the ball on the ground and in the air. He complements who we have up there (in the forward line) already and I see him in the years to come taking over and being the man.

"We're really keen to lock him away quickly and are quite excited about what he's going to be as a Giants player." "




Sounds like GWS have been trying to re-sign Cadman for a while and he has been dragging his heels somewhat

His manager wouldn’t be stupid
Plenty of interest for him in vic so would be silly to agree to the first offer from any club including staying at the Giants

This will be one that will go late into the year even if he stays
 
I think Cadman will ultimately stay at the Giants. Similarly assuming Gold Coast have a decent season and with Dimma there (apparently was a driving force behind us going after him) you would say [PLAYERCARD]Ben King[/PLAYERCARD] stays up north too.

That leaves Marshall as a free-agent or trading for Ugle-Hagen. I also think how we perform next year will impact our target. If we fall away badly (I don't think we will) and it becomes apparent that we do need a mini-rebuild, that would knock out Ugle-Hagen as the club won't be moving our 1st round pick as well as any other 1st rounder we acquire by packaging picks for points.

If we are pushing/play finals then maybe JUH becomes the priority.

Ultimately the club has its plans in place and is probably speaking with all of these guys. Will be interesting to see how it plays out over the next 10 or so months.

We can't afford giving away first round picks we need quality kids to come in.Target free agency and draft well.

Depends on the target. Someone like Cadman would be worth trading heavy.

But otherwise go the draft.

If we are lucky our many picks next year will get us a nice draft hand and then we either trade or just take good picks.

If our young KPFs start to show a fair bit in 2024 then I reckon our trade plans will change.

Yep.If Lynch stays on the park and gets good support from one other then our plans may shift.
2 more years out of lynch could bring King back into calculations or 2 more yrs at afl level from Cadman(clearer picture).
 
Lets hope some clubs like SA / WA clubs go after some of our excess older players like McIntosh , Graham , Grimes etc

Would be happy to see these players get offered better deals and line their bank accounts whilst getting RFC some compo picks to strengthen our draft hand further.

Lets hope Jack Graham and Kamdyn McIntosh have excellent years

You want them to have excellent years for the teams sake or so we can get better value for them?

Then again a very good start to the 2024 season will also see a change in our trade plans to our advantage...
 

Giants open talks on new deal with No.1 pick​

Aaron Cadman has started discussions with GWS on a contract extension beyond the end of 2024
Tom Lynch acquisition has been an absolutely brilliant move by the Richmond Football Club. How much are we prepared to pay for another marque forward ? They must have their eye on another forward after trading into the next years draft. Trading draft picks plus a player ?

I know he has only had a year but what has this kid shown? sfa. Serioulsy bauer has done more than him. Operation Marshall.....time to holler.

We really should offer Marshall a deal he can’t refuse so we pay nothing as he’s a free agent

Then we get to keep our very strong draft hand

If we are lucky to trade our group of draft picks for 1st rounders for next year. It might put us into a similar position this year where a team, might have a target in mind & trade out future picks with us taking a slight downgrade, especially if the players we want will still be available a few positions later. Could be an interesting draft & trade period, if we manage to get higher up in the draft with our picks.

I do enjoy the narrative around the whipping boys. They suck and should play VFL, but should net us good picks at the trade table or in free agency compensation when we move them on as they're not good enough for us.

A lot could also depends on how those who determine our future picks go, namely freo. We could even target another "5 inside 30" scenario, finish off the future core we started building in '21 Draft.
I think we could add an additional 2 first rounders, maybe not top 5 in the draft, but maybe around 10-15?

Why confused?

The logic is simple and irrefutable.

My junk is worth your treasure.

Yeah but what are we prepared to pay him ?

Ben Mackay getting $850k a year Marshall would be looking at more
You pay him enough to get Port to allow him to leave without fuss, allowing us to keep any R1 picks we may end up with through trading.
