2026 Trade / FA Thread

I thought we didn't have any available list spots?

We don’t but guess you still keep track of players just in case

Not blonde enough for Geelong

Not quite Geelong, but long hair, headband and shitty moe - I think he's in Lara.

Wardlaw yes. But would want the concussion and Hammy to be sorted.

Amartey no. No more second, third and fourth string forwards. Go get the main man.

 

[Mick F]

On the small side.

If we got Amartey it would bring back my PTSD from all the failed forwards of my childhood. I suggest a thread ban on the name for mine and the health of others

Joel "Jesse" Amartey

I thought something similar when I read that.

Has anyone ever seen Q Lynch, J White and J Amartey in the same room together?

 

[larrikan]

Wow so that’s how Geelong do it. We should do the same.

They are tracking a player who plays in their VFL side

 

[Robroy22]

If we get Amartey and Butts for free at years end it will be the result of very astute cap management
Love Checkers but we couldn’t match the big deal from dees

I can understand the Adelaide bloke but why would you want Amartey? He makes Jesse White look like Jono Brown.
Amartey would be a bust like White and Lynch were.

 

[Robroy22]

Maybe a marginal upgrade over McStay?

Taller you mean? Or just younger?

 

[Robroy22]

On the small side.

Same size as Butters....

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

I tend not to believe media these days but if George Wardlaw is a possible get, why wouldn't CFC have a crack after due-diligence, would be the perfect fit for the club. All CFC posters on BF would be united in happiness.

Wardlaw is going nowhere.

 

[gouki88]

Younger, healthier, kicks more goals (but a worse contested mark)

No to Armartey from me - flaky, unreliable, and downhill skier.

Just heard Alex Condon's manager on SEN. So if he nominates for the NBA draft and doesn't get picked up, he can't return to his college. We're still in contact with him, and the door is still open to him returning to Australia and play AFL. His manager wasn't sure if Condon would be selected in the draft.....

We don’t, but it would be negligent of us to ignore potential MSD recruits given that a list spot can potentially open up each week.

We could be heading back to where we where at the end of 2021

So a prelim and premiership coming in the next 2 - 3 years? Sign me up!

I think it will turn upwards in second half of the season.

Important and necessary steps are being taken Steene and Anderson have been introduced. Next is Swadling and West. Then Hill should return.

Just need to solve the connection to the forward line.

Fly also needs to start dropping some of the older players.

I agree, its already happenning.

This is me being ultra glass half full...but maybe this start to the season is what we needed to show that our older players are indeed coming to the end.
