2026 Trade / FA Thread

[Go Woods]

I'll be very happy if we land a key forward in this order:
1. Caddy
2. King
3. Jed Walter
4. Calsher Dear/Mitch Lewis either if we miss on above.
Neale for the next 3 years, Butts as Key Defender.
Hold onto our 1st picks in the draft.

Older than mitchell was at the time we got him, but he'll help the youth with his experience.

And much better

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Much simpler. You're underestimating what we've added and over-estimating what others have added. Cats have added a couple of superstars from country Vic who didn't want the lime light and wanted to live on farms. The other Vic teams haven't blitz. Freo have done well recently.

I’m not really referring to specific players

I think we’ve managed ok since Fly took over

Titch, Houston, Schultz and to a lesser extent McStay were all relatively decent sized “fish” that we landed. Houston especially.

We also added Perryman and Bobby in the next tier down

I was speaking more broadly to the idea that there aren’t more star players requesting to come to us and speculating on possible reasons why

 

[Chunky Steak]

I assume it would have to be a three year deal minimum, on good money, to get Neale to consider.

I'd do that in a heartbeat. He's got a great history with his body and is playing at an elite level. Since he joined Brisbane he's missed 9 of 165 games and 7 of those were due to back and ankle issues in 21.

Honestly I think the only thing that stops a deal would be the fact that his kids are in Perth. No small hurdle.

 

[WanderingDude]

He's got a great history with his body

WTF. He ain’t been swimming between the lines.

 

[OniAu]

WTF. He ain’t been swimming between the lines.

Your name and the player we are talking about

Looks like it might be changing, but not many stars leave their club.

Why not invent a time machine and go back to the past, bring a young Buddy Franklin back and put him into our team, more chance of that happening than getting Caddy. I don't know why people indulge in such fantasy.

 

[Apex36]

Apparently lions cap is overflowing to the brink.

And they have a lot of young talent that will need pay rises over the next few years. It’s inevitable that they’ll lose some talent.

Saying you want to hold on to our firsts and having Caddy at the top of your list is fantasy land stuff

Rated 2nd best wingman this season - looks like he’ll get Dempsey
