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

[Jacks Seething Rage]

We've had good recent trading history with the dogs.

This gets done early.

We might hold off until we know if we're bringing in a key back as we will also lose JUH and Liam Jones. But yeah, if that happens then we will move him on for a midrange pick

I doubt it. It will be fully dependent on being well compensated and bringing in replacements.

If Jamarra & Jones depart, we are quite light on for KPP depth.

KPD - Lobb, JOD, Busslinger, Gardner
KPF - Darcy, Naughton, Croft

That’s our entire list of key position players.

You can draft one.

Next year.

Likely with our third round pick.

 

[The Inbetweener]

So this will be a fairly easy move you would think.

Bulldogs fans, what are you expecting back?

Contracted so a 2nd rounder. Uncontracted would be a 3rd rounder.

The Brisbane second rounder you own (pick 34) looks spot on. Keep in mind that will be pushed back to 40+ with all of the academy selections.

Remember he is a wanted contracted player.

A pick to satisfy Adelaide for Butts, most likely a second rounder.

I think that pick will have some heavy lifting to do in matching for Dean.

How wanted is he really? Seen a fair bit of vest and emergency action this year. Would be surprised if any sort of second is in the mix.

If it's just coverage you guys need I wonder if you look at McGovern. Seems better defensively.

No chance of us offering a second rounder or Adelaide accepting one for Butts. He is worth far more than Buku.

Fair enough, I do think Dogs would expect a bit for Buku though considering he’s contracted and very handy depth.

At the same time they’d likely grant his wish for more opportunity assuming we get Butts or Young.

He's contracted and excellent dept at both ends and ruck

If he was OOC it would be for a 3rd he isn't and if you are offering a 4 year deal it will be a 2nd

 

[Mister Carlton]

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?

I felt dumb reading this post. Then I saw your profile picture and it made a lot more sense.

 

[Mofra]

We'll probably take slight unders just to get Buks to his desired destination. Especially after the way the Matt Kennedy trade panned out last year

 

[Bagger72]

Officially requested a trade to the Blues. Decent replacement for SOS if this is what it is.

 

[Golden_6]

We'll be pushing for a F2, worth about pick 35 in a compromised draft. 31 games in the last 2 years and is contracted.

He'll get to the Blues amicably but we won't just be handing him off for nothing.

Go well young man, great pickup for the Blues. I think he’ll surprise a lot of supporters there with his marking and forward craft.

I wouldn’t be expecting anything less than a second rounder, whether that’s this year or a future.

 

[SurreyBlue]

We pay a 2nd and I will

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

One of those trades I can see falling over, we won't want to pay anything of value for him, and he is prob worth more to the Dogs to retain than the 3rd round pick we are likely to offer.

If there is any truth to the rumour we are into CJ from hawthorn i can imagine we will prioritise him over Khamis.

Take both?

CJ plays more defence, Khamis is probably better forward.

We will need to retain our future picks to bid on Cody Walker, so doubt we are giving up a F2

 

[weltschmerz]

Buku is a great bloke, and while his skill set is a bit limited, a lead, mark, goal forward is always valuable. We’ll miss him but I wish him all the best.

Prob comes down to if Charlie leaves..

If Curnow does leave, Buku to Carlton could be one of the best recruits next year. Could easily kick 40 goals imo.
