Will be a fairly easy period for us, the new bidding rules will come in doesn’t affect us

Doubt we are that active this year anyway

 

[rustycrate]

Our whole list is pretty much signed up until the end of 2027.
Not much trading can be done this year.

 

[Highflying Swans]

Our whole list is pretty much signed up until the end of 2027.
Not much trading can be done this year.

Florent & Hayward signed long term contracts and were despatched to Carlton. Contracts can be broken and if the club wants to facilitate a trade it will happen. Works both ways with players wanting out too even though they are contracted.
Wouldn’t surprise me if we see some more player movement or list changes later this year. If we have an ordinary season could be some big changes.

 

[Millky95]

Trade thread? Already? Hmmm

This is an April Fools joke for sure

 

[Tedeski]

We wouldn’t want to lose Amartey. He was the difference against the Hawks.

 

[Kbroome]

We have a fair few that are in the last 18 months of footy (Adams, Lloyd, Rampe, Hamling and Cunningham)

Therefore its going to be an awfully quiet year as I don't see many players shifting to the rookie list and those mentioned above are pretty much all rookie lists

 

[robbieando]

Assuming we re-sign Amartey and Jordon then move Cunningham to the rookie list that would leave only 2 senior list spots open at the end of the year.

We will need to trade a contracted player to get to the 3 required senior list spots for the draft.

So any suggestions on trading in other players or free agents from other clubs would require two or more contracted players to be traded.

So don’t expect us to be active in the player market this year.

Surely this is an April fools joke? We are three games in!!!!

According to the AFL

2026 draft order: Where your club's picks sit as Hawks, Blues load up

Check out the draft order for next year after the pick swaps in the 2025 Telstra AFL Draft

www.afl.com.au

We should have
2026(we lost 1st,3rd & 4th, but gained 3rd Carl, 3rd Coll & 4th Haw)
2nd-Sydney
3rd-Carlton
3rd-Hawthorn
4th-Collingwood
2027(lost 1st and gained 2nd-Carl)
2nd Carlton
2nd-Sydney
3rd-Sydney
4th-Sydney

I am confused. This differs from your post.

Millky95 Jewelsbon - this is our default start date for the Draft & Trade Thread opening. We find the date entirely appropriate

I didn't even look at the 2027 much. I was waiting for Lore's update

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Have the Dogs agreed to the Sam Darcy trade where they get Heeney, Chad, Errol, Curnow, my grandmother, all the Reschs beer in the members and unlimited dining at Tottis ?

[Adnico26Parker]

Couple of things from Gettable:

Ran though every club's PRE-agents (FA's who fall OOC 2027):

Ours: Chad, Tom M, JJ, McLean



Twomey said Melican WOULD have been on this list, but has already re-signed for 2028 (one of those secret 1-year deals)

McLean would be one that could look for another home if he doesn't get much gametime for the rest of the season and would get us open a senior list spot. Ladhams would be another name to add to the list, also because it would open up the 2nd ruck position to Green going into his contract year as well.

 

[FreeAgent1]

I wonder what compensation we will get for amartey if he leaves… at this stage we will simply have point to match academy bids and it will be the most boring trade/FA period in years.

 

[Superstar swan]

can’t be expecting too much this year, I like the idea of bringing in a cheap senior player or two who quite havnt reached their potential.

Serong and Rosas have both had an immediate impact which is nice

Much better to keep him. Solid #2 KPF.

 

[rustycrate]

He has already said he wants to stay.
I reckon he wants to put some runs on the board and up his value if he can.

Solid logic too.

Depends what we get

I’d take a second rounder

 

[SydneyBlood]

Hanily was selected in the 2024 mid season draft. So this is his third season on the rookie list as far as I can tell. Is there a maximum number of years you are allowed to be on the rookie list these days?

Does he either have to get promoted to the primary list next season or delisted?
