Here's everything you need to know about the Trade Period, Free Agency and more

www.afl.com.au

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Pulled out of the Aleer race because they want Sam De Koning from Geelong, you heard it hear first....

Geelong entertaining moving on SDK so they can get the draft capital for Marshall & Curnow...

 

[Hatchy1992]

Should be going hard for Leek.

We won’t though, because we are “backing them in”.

That's just Brady posturing. I'm sure behind the scenes we're doing our due diligence.

 

[trooroo4life]

Pulled out of the Aleer race because they want Sam De Koning from Geelong, you heard it hear first....

Geelong entertaining moving on SDK so they can get the draft capital for Marshall & Curnow...

Yeah, you’d imagine it’s something else came up for them to drop out of the deal for someone they’ve been chasing for 24 months. So the SDK stuff makes sense.

 

[shinboner magic]

Saints pulled out of Alleer deal?

What a dogs act.

 

[hilly]

I like Clokey.

 

[King Corey]

What a dogs act.

Let's not judge.

Welcome to Arden Street Leek

 

[Harris 10]

Pulled out of the Aleer race because they want Sam De Koning from Geelong, you heard it hear first....

Geelong entertaining moving on SDK so they can get the draft capital for Marshall & Curnow...

I said months ago we should have put a big offer in front of SDK because they were going to need picks for thier trades.

 

[HBFlanker]

Yeah, you’d imagine it’s something else came up for them to drop out of the deal for someone they’ve been chasing for 24 months. So the SDK stuff makes sense.

It will be the increase for Wilkie.

 

[backtothedraft]

No way i'd be offering Aleer anything like the 4 year contract St Kilda had tabled. Personally think we're crying out for a dour 1 on 1 defender. I hope we dont fall into the trap.

 

[HBFlanker]

Actually yeah it probably is SDK

 

[giantroo]

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Aleer makes no sense next to Chom. Both best as interceptors primarily.

 

[backtothedraft]

I said months ago we should have put a big offer in front of SDK because they were going to need picks for their trades.

Why would he commit to play for North... His motivation would obviously be to play with his brother and the club he supported as a kid.

 

[Lomas]

Cover up story about Geelong cap cheating drops, Geelong makes show of moving player on to bring in twice his salary….

 

[Harris 10]

Why would he commit to play for North... His motivation would obviously be to play with his brother and the club he supported as a kid.

He may not, but if you don't ask you don't get.

 

[Roo202]

This AFL rule change helps the six clubs who traded out their first round picks across 2023 and 2024.
2023: Brisbane, Fremantle, Port Adelaide, Richmond
2024: Collingwood, Geelong

Never change AFL.

Such an amateur operation, it is not beyond the scope to think clubs have strategised, seen which clubs have traded out of the first round in previous years and picked a future year, identified a couple of key players coming out of contract and planned for less competition with other clubs needing to use their first round picks that year, than bam, the AFL hits the reset button, too bad if you would have otherwise have done things differently in previous years, everyone gets a do over!

I presume we will be penalised this year for having already traded out of this year's first round, no benefit for us, despite the fact we effectively took this year's first rounder last year?

 

[Moti]

Aleer makes no sense next to Chom. Both best as interceptors primarily.

Agreed.

 

[backtothedraft]

He may not, but if you don't ask you don't get.

We would have spoken to managers and clubs about dozens of players without it ever coming to the public. Just because its not on trade radio doesnt mean it hasnt happened.

 

[King Corey]

Aleer makes no sense next to Chom. Both best as interceptors primarily.

Agree but not against strengthening up our tall stocks and sorting out the nuances after that.

That said I'm not greatly across Aleer's career to date nor what the salary or trade demands would be.

Could be a buyer opportunity there though just because of how the deal fell over.

 

[giantroo]

 

[Flawed Genius]

If it's possible, SDK has sadder eyes than TDK does

 

[andana]

Leek Aleer Ben Cousins favourite

 

[Passmore]

If it's possible, SDK has sadder eyes than TDK does

Given he's on about the third of the money his brother is on, it's no wonder.

 

[Onihr]

I presume we will be penalised this year for having already traded out of this year's first round, no benefit for us, despite the fact we effectively took this year's first rounder last year?

Four of the two teams made finals this year (including the premier). One of the remaining two made them last year. The last one has had the best results over the last 10 years in the comp.

No way that you could argue that you are trying to balance the competition - flat out looking after the stronger clubs to give them a better chance of winning / pumping $ through the competition. There is no burning platform to give these teams a free kick.

While we don't have a first this year, we should have a tick for this year in a similar way - the decision was made last year to trade out.

 

[hoffseason gains 01]

I would rather Corr and i hate Corr.
Alleer is hugely overrated.

Yeah I agree. Post was made in jest. More surprised in general saints pulled out - not a good look for them.
