Sam Flanders - has requested a trade/explore options

 

[King Corey]

Disagree.

Sheezel, Wardlaw, Curtis, Hardeman, Mckercher, O'Sullivan all quality.

Only question marks are on Duursma.

Hopign WDawson is in that top list as of this time next year

IMO Curtis, McKercher and Sheezel are the only ones to date who have put together full, grown up quality seasons.

The others have potential or good form in patches but are not at that rung yet.

That's not to say I doubt someone like FOS on output to date, but expectations will go up and we'll see how the sentiment is if he's averaging 15 disposals in a year or 2.

Especially with our lack of 2025 R1, I'd only give up F1s for a knock out deal eg <=25yo (eg Kosi) or younger emerging star (eg Reid) or a split into multiple decent picks.

 

[HoldingThe Ball]

I’d almost rather Frost than Lever. Frost had a decent 2024 season, better than what we have on the list anyway. Only knock would be he’s 32? Maybe 1 year? Just to give Dawson enough time.

Morning.

Frost is good for at least another 2 yrs. He's got 'Frostball' out of his game now and was exceptionally good in 2024 and was cruelly injured in the finals.

We have James Blanck and Jai Serong too.

2 out of those 3 would have been ever-present in our side in 2025 - except we signed All Australians Josh Battle and Tom Barrass.

Frost, Blanck and Serong aren't getting a game as they are behind Sicily, Scrimshaw, Battle, Weddle and Barrass.

Honestly if you persuaded Serong and Frost to come to Arden St, then your backline would tighten up incredibly well.

Hawthorn would be very supportive in getting any of those guys to a club of their choice as they have been absolute professionals in their time at Hawthorn.

Frost and Serong have significant interest from multiple AFL clubs though.

Very good players both of them.

Thanks but:

Rule #1 - Never trade with Hawthorn
Rule #2 - Refer Rule #1

I agree, but I don't even know if I'd include Colby on that list yet.

He started this season particularly poorly. I'd say (from memory) it wasn't until round 8/9/10~ he really started hitting his strides.

And i'm not saying there's anything wrong with that! But I don't think I'd include him on a list of young players who in your words have played "full, grown up quality seasons".

You know you had us at "Morning"?

 

[see see]

There's a random poster in the DTFA thread saying we're very keen on Jordon Butts.

RFA next year. Not best 22 for Adelaide but would be an upgrade on any of our lockdown KPDs I guess.

Wonder what we'd be willing to offer the Crows.

Sir Mix-A-Lot likes this

 

[BlueanWhiteKanga]

If you could bring in Butts and Windhager for pick 21, an F2, and steak knives, while also bringing in a good kid in a position of need with pick 20, that'd be a good result to me.

Even better if you could somehow trade Fisher into some currency.

That would be ideal!
Really hoping that the Windhager decision is swift. I do think he'll stay at Saints though

No from me. You brought Battle and Barrass to your club for a reason. I'd say Frost and Serong were a significant part of that.

Future 1st would get it done?
The young kids are good enough, its time now to fill the holes with good players

as a 1 year stop gap or 2 if form warrants

 

[Makeshift Park]

I mean, he's good, but I wouldn't say he's a top 10 pick good.

May is signed until next season.

 

[Flagroos24]

Future 2nd at best i agree. You don't trade 1st round picks for players who aren't even in other sides best 22's.

 

[ferball]

Will Dawson could be a huge answer next year. His job on Darcy was first class, he gave him a touch up. The next week was a bit of a shit show but another pre-season and then give him time in the saddle to develop. I think we are in pretty good shape and a stop gap like Lever, who many were saying is captaincy material if he stayed a Melbourne, would be perfect for us in shaping the defensive system with Comben & Dawson. Rather a Premiership player, who was part of a pretty revered key defensive set up, implementing the system than Logue or Corr.

They're saying this to increase his trade value.

 

[The Nostradamus]

May is signed until next season.

so is lever

but both are apparently gettable

 

[Makeshift Park]

Future 2nd at best i agree. You don't trade 1st round picks for players who aren't even in other sides best 22's.

Because we're desperate and he's contracted, I'd go up to pick 20 with a fourth rounder and some late pick swaps.

 

[tales129]

No ****ing way are you spending a future first on butts.

**** me he got done on the lead by Lachie hosie twice yesterday.

He’s a swap of picks if anything, and sits behind Worral, Murray and ****ing Keane

 

[archereleven]

so is lever

but both are apparently gettable

Cant see why he'd move for 1 year and hes 34 in January lol

 

[The Nostradamus]

One with a trigger

And to get paid more in his twilight

Give him 300k more for next year

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Do we take a punt on Elijah Hollands at Calton who is on the nose (pun intended) and has been told to explore other opportunities outside the club? Had a great 2024 with 22 matches and can play if the mind and body are clear from distraction.

If the Blues agree to chip in on some of his salary and we tossed a 4th rounder this might be worth a punt. If the culture and fit is something we don’t want (TT #2) then it won’t happen. But having a ready made player with upside could be a master stroke if Clarko & Club can settle him down ala Stengle at Geelong.

 

[Roo316]

Someone like Butts makes more sense than Lever.

Hosie kicked 3.3 on Seymour yesterday

 

[Newbie Real Talk]

The asking price for contracted Lever would be a 2nd rounder and he is not worth that.
Butts appears to lack pace and doesn't look real good ball in hand either.
Time to back in Will Dawson to be the stopper down back. Comben will improve as the interceptor and one of Pink/Logue to be the number 2 defender. Aerial support could also come from Arch, Lmac, Goater (whoever is playing at the time).

 

[Makeshift Park]

Hosie kicked 3.3 on Seymour yesterday

Ok I'll rescind my proposal for pick 20 and a fourth rounder and make it pick 20 straight.

 

[New_Roo]

what are we thinking

early 2nd, maybe even a late first?

absolute joke if we get spargo

he is a free agent....

He porked Magoo 2s Mrs didn't he?
**** it, bring him in.
