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

[Golden_6]

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

That Brisbane second rounder looks about spot on. Currently pick 35 and will move with academy selections.

 

[cecil]

We are likely to have limited list spots this year so could see if being Khamis and a 2nd for a 3rd rounder or similar.

He will be a handy player if you move on Curnow. Could take second ruck minutes and be a mobile forward who will kick 30 goals.

Good luck to Buku, seems like an awesome lad.

Probably hard to speculate on the trade value given there might be a few deals for mid level players tied together.

 

[Bagger72]

Depends on value of contract - from there trade value will be decided between the two clubs. What that will be is anyone's guess.
Elijah Hollands was also contracted - GCS got future third and 2nd round pick swaps the 2nd was an upgrade for them.

It will be something similar imo. Hasnt shown enough to be a vanilla 2nd.

 

[Foxman98]

Brisbane's 2nd will be the perfect value slightly more then a 3rd but not a high 2nd

3rd round for a reserves player. 2nd rounders are for players that can consistently get a game. 1st rounders are for good players

Tell that to Adelaide fans asking for a first for Butts, who played less AFL games than Buku this year.

Carlton’s second would be about right, Brisbane’s second while not enough, would probably be where both clubs settle.

He did consistently get a game though,

He played pretty much 2/3rds of the games this year

Butts is a genuine KPD and has been injured this year. Doubt he gets Crows a first

Not in the starting 22 after round 14. Dogs chose to move past him

 

[Bagger72]

Austin and Carlton trade fairly - he played less games this year than last year - just over half of the games available. He is moving for opportunity - demanding 2nd round for a player that is not a regular starter is abit of a stretch,

Brown reaches out to Rankine; Stewart inspires Cats teammates; Khamis requests a trade to Carlton

Mitch Brown, the first openly bisexual male AFL player, has reached out to Izak Rankine. Meanwhile, Bulldogs utility Buku Khamis has told the club he wants to be traded, and fans have flocked to GMHBA Stadium ahead of the grand final.

“but as a contracted player who adds depth to their list at either end of the ground, they are expected to drive a hard bargain before releasing Khamis.“

He is contracted though and in our best 25. Why would be offload a good depth player for some pick in the 50s, that doesn't help us next year while Buku could.

If what we get for him help us get Butts or another mature player then he will go, otherwise I don't see why we would.

Wonder what happened around that time...??

Wonder who may have pushed him out of the starting 23??

He actually kept his spot initially when Darcy returned but we decided we couldn't play 3 tall forwards (who you gonna drop? Darcy, Naughton?).

Bukus role was taken up by a mobile tall wing type who plays higher up the ground, intially Poulter and then Croft.

Then why wasn't he a regular if he is in your best 25. Better find a good third round pick if you want Carlton 2nd round pick.

Because only 23 can play each week and by the back end of the year all our talls were fit and healthy he played 14 games this year and 17 last year

You don't have your 2nd rounder you have Brisbane's which best case is 2 picks before the 3rd round

 

[Pencil case]

Perhaps he’ll be involved in a play for Carlton’s first. Something like Buku, Dogs 3rd & F2 for Carlton’s first

Would be great to leverage Buku into a trade for Carlton’s 1st, but they can do a lot better than that. We don’t have a 3rd this year anyway so at minimum would need to give our 2nd, and even that’s unlikely to be enough imo

He is a 3rd tall that couldn't keep his spot in the team. If he were to stay he wouldn't be expected to get a game next year. As you point out in your last sentence Buku wasn't pushed out by Darcy but fringe players in Poulter and Croft.

If you mean the TDK compo pick I'd say unlikely as needed for bid matching (Dean) or potentially used in a higher priority Curnow deal

A 1st round pick for a player who was running around in the magoos for half the year!!?!?!

For a bit of perspective, you got a contracted Matt Kennedy last year for pick 38, who played 24 games for us that year and finished top 10 in the B&F.

Where in the post you responded to does it say you'd be trading a first round pick for the player?

I read it a few times and could've sworn there was also a second and third round pick going back your way. That still is far too favoured on our side but if you're going to be outraged at least be honest.

Maybe you should go back and read the post I replied to which read "Something like Buku, Dogs 3rd & F2 for Carlton’s first."

Don't get much clearer than that.....

Yes - to which you responded with "A 1st round pick for a player who was running around in the magoos for half the year!!?!?!"

Which isn't what the proposed trade was, like at all. Here, I'll fix it for you:

"A 1st round pick for a second round pick, a third round pick and a player who was running around in the magoos for a third of the year!!?!?!"

 

[Cudi]

Then why wasn't he a regular if he is in your best 25. Better find a good third round pick if you want Carlton 2nd round pick.

He was. He played 14 games and would have been emergency in almost all others.
