Prediction What unexpected trade are you predicting?

#4, #22, 2026 1st, Angus Clarke

Essendon give picks 4 & 5 to Port for Zac Butters.

Would give the Bombers the star they desperately crave and would have a Judd like impact on the club and its young players to change the trajectory of the side.

Port gets to concede they are rebuilding and give Josh Carr a kick start with 2 early first round picks, with some highly rated SA kids at the top end of this year's draft I am sure they would love to get their hands on would be a win/win for both clubs.

No thanks.

don’t need another small mid. Not remotely interested at any price port would consider

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Jai Serong or Blanck more likely.
We're certainly looking

Whatever the question is, Serong is not the answer.

Or he's Serong answer.

 

[Jeremy McLovin]

Whatever the question is, Serong is not the answer.

What if the question is "which of Freo's midfielders is most vulnerable to a hard tag?"

Essendon Windhager
hawthorn Petracca
StKilda McKenzie
Melbourne (draper Compensation pick 7)

Lol Essendon completely gets shafted in that trade which I'm all for.

Pretty sure Mackenzie is going nowhere unless we get overs.

picks to balance of course.

draper compo will be pick 7

Eagles,

but then pick 7 turns into like pick10 after academy boys - Annable, Uwland, patterson are selected
maybe pick 11 if Dean bidded on as well.

Which player would you rate as worth more out of that list?

Petracca gun but ageing
Windhager has some runs on the board this year
mackenzie early first round talent with a couole years development, struggling to break into finals side
pick 10-11 in a weakish draft.

Anyone giving up a top 10 pick for Windhager needs to get their brain checked.

Shiel to GC

Funnily enough, Freo would like to get Jai across there so that Caleb sticks around.
West Coast have shown interest in him because they will actually play him.

Draper aint getting 1st round compo.

Atleast we have a midfielder worthy of a hard tag, infact we have three.

Funnily enough, you couldn't be more wrong

[jakefooty23]

Zane Duursma to West Coast

 

[A New Hope]

Dyson Heppell to West Coast.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

Jordan Butts to Dogs

 

[Vindicater]

Parish to Collingwood.

 

[Schauermann]

Dyson Heppell to West Coast.

He better fits Geelong's loot scheme...

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Parish to Collingwood.

How cooked is he?

 

[Vindicater]

How cooked is he?

Hard to tell because our S&C team are just as cooked.

I reckon you put him in a good environment with depth that can let him build properly and he could come good.

 

[Mostyn]

If I'm reading that right, 2 firsts, 2 seconds for Curtin and 2 thirds? And North's picks are pretty high.

As good as Curtin is or might be, wouldn't Adelaide just take that bonanza of a deal and move on?

List wealth!

No, we're not trading an absolute top shelf talent for picks years down the road. We're not starting a rebuild, we're hopefully finishing one.

How is Essendon getting that 2nd first round pick?

They trading the band 2 Draper compo and a F1 for it?

Essendon have Melbourne's 2025 R1 pick

 

[Pomsta]

Richmond trade #4 to Swans for Braeden Campbell and their 1st.

Swans trade Pick 4, F1 and Amartey to Carlton for Curnow and F2.
