Time to roll this runaway train of a thread over
A bit of a summary of where we sit with our list and what’s on the radar for us
We currently have 34 players contracted beyond 2024 (31 main list, 2 rookie list and 1 Cat B rookie)
Which leaves 10 players currently out of contract :
Rotham
Witherden
Jones
L Edwards
Trew (R)
Culley (R)*
Burgiel
Baker (R)
Livingstone (Cat B)*
Rawlinson (R)*
* As reported by old mate Stickdick, these players have reportedly signed, or are about to sign, new deals. The future for rest of that list remains in limbo for the time being as they have yet to be offered a contract for 2025
Assuming that is correct and with Barrass requesting a trade to Hawthorn we have 8 list spots available for the draft, FA/trades or re-signings
Our current draft hand is 3,23,59 plus whatever we receive for Barrass, likely to be Hawthorn’s R1 pick at a minimum with other pick(s) to be determined. We’ll also have pick 3 in the rookie draft
Using 4 draft picks plus one in the rookie draft should be considered the minimum for a rebuilding side. Ideally, given the purported depth of this draft we should be looking at using a 5th draft pick if we can trade one in somehow
As for trades and FA acquisitions we have been linked to the following :
Peatling (GWS)
Baker (Richmond)
Graham (Richmond - FA)
Parfitt (Geelong - FA)
Carroll (Carlton)
Garcia (Bulldogs)
Clurey (Port Adelaide)
Sheldrick (Sydney) and Robertson (Brisbane) remain possible targets albeit neither name has come up in the media yet
We have also been tenuously linked to Kozi Pickett but it appears more likely he’ll head to Fremantle if he decides to leave Melbourne
Our success in luring some of those players will determine how many, if any, of those contracted players remain or if we have to trade players out or delist a contracted player (unlikely) to make room on the list. Graham and Baker seem the most likely whilst the rest are speculative at best
Ryan, Darling and Petruccelle have been raised as potential trades but mainly in passing rather than anything definitive
Trade week commences Monday, October 7 and runs through to Wednesday, October 16 - a mere 38 sleeps away
