will sign a 2-year extension - which would take him through to his free agency year, so him being able to move in 2027.

If King were off the table and we are looking for someone sooner to help complement Lewis… are we floating around lost in space?

 

[KeeperLeaguer]

The Herald Sun reporting that we are not interested in Carlton's Zac Fisher and that our only trade targets were and are McKay and Henry

They got something right anyway.

 

[HawksILove]

We just can't take a trick. Oh well next page

 

[f4zz]

Pls at least land Gresham...

 

[Dewnior]

Looks like we’ve missed out on Ben McKay.

Good. Didn't want for $800K+

 

[Ashman23]

Didn't want him anyway..............

RnL posted on Aug 30. I did not take it quite as explicitly as some.
“ Might be best to start planning with Big Ben in the backline” * as of today.
Could mean we are planning to play Ben King in defence or draft Benny Hill as a cat B rookie.
Anyway I took it that we are into Mackay and in with a chance but will wait until the fat lady sings.

At least with Benny Hill we know we will get quick albeit chaotic run from the backline!

 

[user33]

Fully prepared and expecting us to be quiet this trade period. Think we still need to move out our second rounder due to the McCabe bid but don’t think anything exciting will be happening.

We already have Benny Hill in the back line

Think we all need to come with the terms that aside from trading out some role players we’re going to end up fairly inactive this trade period. I hope we’d be looking at pick swaps but given our current hand seems long odds.

 

[theiaofseed]

Cadman from the Giants still unsigned and OOC next year. I wonder what he will cost.

Would be the perfect foil for Lewis longterm.

Would want to show lot more than he did this year, wasn't anywhere close to AFL standard.

 

[daniel23]

Disappointing miss. A free hit in a position we are in desperate need of

 

[TylerDurden]

Many laugh at Dodo, but he gets this shit done.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Disappointing re McKay. The club desperately want a new kpd (and kpf) for next year, so I hope there’s a plan B.

 

[Noel Gallagher]

We just can't take a trick. Oh well next page

We got used to pump his price up. Only consolation is that the scum overpaid for an overated injury plagued big man

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

Many laugh at Dodo, but he gets this s**t done.

well lucky for us the goal of managing a list is winning finals, not trade week

 

[GinniAndTonic]

I think that was the Bailey Smith news that came and went a week or so ago...

Lickmesocks said last week we were a fairway down the track with an A grade player about coming this year and the club expected the deal to happen.

 

[JR33]

Wowe can’t even attract B grade players now a days

 

[hawks1998]

Would've been good to get Mckay but we are probably another year off getting the more in demand free agents of the off season, still very excited about the addition of pick 3 (4) and hopefully an A grader next off season, think its probably unlikely to happen this trade period

 

[Mercy Seat]

Lickmesocks said last week we were a fairway down the track with an A grade player about coming this year and the club expected the deal to happen.

Believe that was RnL and Hand of Stone.

 

[FB19]

I don’t care at the moment if we aren’t getting trade targets it’s too early I think we are 2 drafts away. The FA targets are overhyped because they don’t cost draft capital but let’s be honest, without a significant improvement in output McKay and Gresham don’t move the needle. Suns first in for f1, brockman for a reasonable pick and add one of Chol or my preference Buku Khamis would be a fine trade period for me. Khamis is highly rated on the dogs board (I have been chatting with them) and stuck behind all their top end pick talls and would cost little according to them to get and is OOC. I am becoming keener on my crows trade too, to get their first and f1. We still get a good player at 9 like Caddy or O’Sullivan plus having an f1 allows us to trade it or our other future picks if we wanted to come back in after matching a McCabe bid for a slider or just a player of interest. Also if we simply take someone at pick 4 I can handle that too.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

but yep an unfortunate miss in my opinion. would've made us a better team just by merit of reliving Sicily and taking some pressure off a 20-gamer in Blanck. can't blame him if he's off to Sydney though — $3m over 5 years (as reported) is life-changing money

at least KermitJagger will be over the moon about the news

 

[Platten44]

Many laugh at Dodo, but he gets this s**t done.

What’s he got done? Dude can’t build a team to win a final in 20 years.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

well lucky for us the goal of managing a list is winning finals, not trade week

Love it. Nail...head...
