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.
Just a but of thought on a Liam Reidy trade. If Carlton get an end of first round pick for Silvagni is that pick gettable?
Carlton have a father son who'll go first round. Assuming he's going after TDK compensation pick, Carlton might be interested in downgrading the end of first round pick.
All this involves our second rounder of course, along with one or two of third rounders (haven't done the maths on points). Reidy is then thrown is as steak knives.
We'd enter the draft with two first rounders and most likely two fourth rounders (Port's and our own). Realistically it'll be two first rounders and Whan.
All this assumes McVee re-sign
I doubt we would be in with a shot, but is Zach really what we are after? He’s smaller than Serong, and we already have a small midfield. Unless we see him playing a Zorko role in the back?Zach's copping for heat on how he has handled this.
But honestly was there any other option.
He can't just sit there i would be like to be traded.
The answer will be a firm NO.
He had to go Nuclear and basically make the situation untenable.
If he was a Freo player i would be pissed off no doubt.
But honestly Essendon only have themselves to blame - Years of empty promises they have now decided to do a full on rebuild which is going take 5-6 years and Zach's gone well i wont be around when we next to contend so why should i stay.
I dont even think he's gone nuclear, it's Essendon blowing the whole thing up, not himZach's copping for heat on how he has handled this.

Assuming Draft Guru is updated for new points indexLiam Reidy is basically worth nothing. So your hypothetical is basically us swapping out current late round pick for Carlton’s first. Possible? Maybe, but I’d say they would have better offers from several other clubs.
You can basically disregard the value of Reidy here. He’s OOC - it’s a future 4th or 5th rounder in reality.
When he re-signed last time were Essendon committed to a rebuild then.He should never have accepted the contract extension, or the extra cash.
Give the club one more year to turn it around, then it’s an easier exit, and more palatable to the fans.
You take him over JOM any day of the week. Especially for cheap. But apparently JOM can do no wrong so we don’t need to replace him.Lachie will only return to Perth to play for Freo.
He won't play for the Eagles he will stay in Brissy if he can't end up at Freo.
We don't seem like we are interested though which is fair enough considering the price we have to pay.
Put the pettiness or bitterness aside how he left.
Does he make our team better is the question you have to answer if Lachie said i want to be traded to Freo.
Does Lachie Neale play on the wing now? Or are we moving Brayshaw etc onto a wing.You take him over JOM any day of the week. Especially for cheap. But apparently JOM can do no wrong so we don’t need to replace him.
Of course it it. Mitchell is an absolute grub.Not attending the bnf you’re expected to win is really blowing things up.
The whole meeting with an oppo coach I feel gets blown out of the water so much and so many players do it, but Sam Mitchell just loves to leak it every time he does. Probably part of his tactic. Blow it up, cause instability at current club to force the player to move because otherwise it’s really awkward.
Have any of the players that he has met with chosen Hawks?Not attending the bnf you’re expected to win is really blowing things up.

Liam Reidy isn’t Meek. Be lucky to even get a fourth rounderJust a but of thought on a Liam Reidy trade. If Carlton get an end of first round pick for Silvagni is that pick gettable?

All this assumes McVee re-signs with Melbourne of course.
He signed an extension, for more dollars, last year. Despite still having an existing contract.When he re-signed last time were Essendon committed to a rebuild then.
You can play him anywhere JOM plays and he’d do a better jobDoes Lachie Neale play on the wing now? Or are we moving Brayshaw etc onto a wing.
Because that’s were JOM has played most of the year
Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true but also would bet my life that absolutely nothing comes from it.The boys on the Restump pod yesterday (notorious freo optimists too) suggested they had mail from a reliable source mid year that Amiss was annoyed with his role in the forward line at the dockers and they went on to speculate a bit about him asking for a trade.
Thought that kind of talk was surprising coming from those two guys
Flying out domestic yesterday morning and saw Kamdyn McIntosh at the airport. Not unusual given he's an ex-WA boy...
... But he was also with Jayden Short![]()
He has good footskills and could easily be an option for Wing, which being totally honest is an area we need some more depth in.While we need half back flankers, it might be a risk for McVee to come here, he may not actually be best 22 if Cooper Simpson continues to improve at the rate he is.
Sure Mitchell is a grub and definitely leaked the meeting what if Essendon just handled it maturely instead of another Scott publicOf course it it. Mitchell is an absolute grub.
**** I hope crows beat them tonight
That rumour was floating for some days and the flagmantle bloke has also posted as well. Even if it true it is solved as Joey said Jackson may not play forward next year with full time middle either ruck or rower? May be occasion stint in F50.The boys on the Restump pod yesterday (notorious freo optimists too) suggested they had mail from a reliable source mid year that Amiss was annoyed with his role in the forward line at the dockers and they went on to speculate a bit about him asking for a trade.

The risk is that McVee wants to play wing or midfield despite being largely untried there. He would start his career off hb but eventually move up the field.While we need half back flankers, it might be a risk for McVee to come here, he may not actually be best 22 if Cooper Simpson continues to improve at the rate he is.
Brad is definitely the Temu Scott, isn't he? Imagine being a twin and spending your whole adult life knowing your genetically identical sibling was a better player, better coach, better operator. It would mess with your psycheSure Mitchell is a grub and definitely leaked the meeting what if Essendon just handled it maturely instead of another Scott publicbitching sessioninterview? They've made the whole thing harder than it needs to be
