Recommitted Buku Khamis [FA 2026] - requested a trade to Carlton, didn't get there

[Pencil case]

I dont think Bulldogs get much for him. Probably a pick upgrade handshake and everyone moves on. If im Khamis im wanting a move to Sydney though. Think they have a spot ready for him as that mobile medium forward of sorts

Would be expecting a late second / early third

 

[Mofra]

It would be one of those "get the player where he wants to go" type trades. Late picks only

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Think with Archer May coming in and Liam McMahon probably sticking around the list makeup has changed.

The team I can see is Melbourne or Sydney . Those who have interest in Mihocek but dont get him would move on to a guy like Khamis

I’d love Khammis at the Swans. I have big wraps on him. Not sure it will happen though

I know the Pies showed some interest in Buku a few years back, but he signed on and stayed. I'd be happy if we had another dip, I like him as a player

He’s better than Leek Aliir, and look what Saints are offering him..

As a defender he is just as poor

As a forward he can play a role

 

[Ash1337]

Carlton could do well with him. Can cover in the ruck. Not as good as TDK but he's fine. They maybe looking at a 4th tall defender option. Something that's becoming a thing in AFL.

 

[Vindicater]

I doubt many teams coming knocking.

 

[Ash1337]

I doubt many teams coming knocking.

He's a better forward than some teams have atm and could play as a 4th tall defender if needed. Dogs already have 2 good key forwards and prefer a 3rd tall that can cover the ground more. If 1 of Darcy or Naughton go down he'll be first picked. GWS are looking at more kpd options. Saints and Carlton have already shown interest. Dons were rumoured to have looked at him. Pies had shown interest too in 2023.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

I doubt many teams coming knocking.

He only needs 1 team to come knocking and guarantee he gets that. Im confident the teams who miss on Mihocek come knocking here. In that sense you would then have Sydney, Demons and Collingwood.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Carlton.

 

[Foxman98]

Carlton.

I hope for your sake he’s better then the last tall we sent you

In all seriousness though I think he will be good for you if you play him as a forward

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Has agreed to terms with Carlton - 2 year deal.

Would only be traded if Dogs can find an upgrade you’d think

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Gosh, imagine wanting to go to Carlton when half the players there seem to want to leave. Did he grow up as a Carlton fan, or is the money and opportunity just that good?

When did the AFL cut list sizes to 4 players?

Jordan Croft seems to be that guy.

Plays much higher than Buks can. Buks is much better as a deep forward or an intercepting defender.

I really like the guy but if he's got a payday on the table he'd be mad not to take it.

Tylar Young in, Khamis out?

 

[Mofra]

Tylar Young in, Khamis out?

That would be a great result for us.

 

[fargothegreat]

That would be a great result for us.

Young would fit in really well alongside Lobb. He can lock down and allow Lobb to play more of an intercepting role.

I think he probably costs more then Khamis will cost Carlton, but would be worth it.

How would Young who is OOC cost more then Khamis who is?

I'm very keen on Young. He also releases James O'Donnell to play a role he's more suited to.

I expect Young has 100+ games of footy left in him too.

Buks might play 100 for Carlton. Can't begrudge the guy for securing his future.

 

[Mofra]

A genuine KPD who can lock down FB. They're going at a premium.

Yes but he is OOC as we learnt with Bailey Smith last year if they are OOC you aren't getting anywhere close to value,

Buku whilst not as good is in contract and being targeted

 

[Pencil case]

Tylar Young in, Khamis out?

I would take that, probably have similar value too which is handy.
