Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

2024 Picks



2025 Picks

 

[nelk boys]

Talks on hold.

Really struggles with consistency. Very poor defensively, sides know this and expose him.

Everyone knows how good he could be if he puts it together. A better environment will only help.

 

[tl92]

Talks on hold.

You would think he would want to go somewhere that guarantees finals. Think we would need to be clearly on the up next year to be any chance.

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[burger09]

Despite the fact I think LDU is overrated and limited by foot he is one of few half decent players they've got approaching his prime.

If he leaves, I'm not sure that North are realistically viable as a competitive AFL club.

They can't attract free agents and talent they draft leave at the first sign of free agency seeking on field success.

A vicious circle of a lifetime in the doldrums. Another generation of this and their small supporter base will also shrink again.

 

[TylerDurden]

Sounds gorn.

 

[blackheart]

Geelong love to make non-events into murder mysteries.

 

[FB19]

Gone.

Should get rid of our F1 this year. Will 1000% get pushed back.

Why? LDU not a free agent until next year only potential for pushing our pick is Levi Ashcroft father son unless another like a Tyler Welsh explodes or somehow the secret herbs and spices makes cam Zurhaar a million dollar player as he is a free agent.

 

[Billyc]

There’s pipe dreams (being most of the players we get linked to) and there are those well beyond pipe dreams. Holmes leaving Geelong to come to Hawthorn was well beyond a pipe dream.

Hes saying our future first as next year LDU will leave and north will get pick 2 compo

Wonder if we are looking at Tarryn Thomas

. I wouldn’t want him at the club unless we were sure he had turned a corner. We all know he can play, it’s just the off field issues that are a big problem. We've got a strong group of aboriginal players that could help steer him in the right direction.

Let's keep abusers of women out of the club.

Need to be careful throwing money at B graders who have A graders as teammates. They can make them look better than they actually are.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

LDU would be a great pickup for any team.

Can't see us going for him though given the midfield depth we have, and with Smith also potentially being added into the logjam. Unless one or two players end up leaving of course.

It is at least realistic that he would leave his current club. I expect he will be highly sought after by strong sides. In a strong side he could be a star. He’d be a great target for Carlton who I reckon are one gun mid short.

For a midfielder

I don’t think he meets Sams or the Hawks talent identification criteria, thank god!

We have been told the Hawks look for discipline players who are motivated to improve.

NO

Reckon it will be Geelong, fits their profile and swaps out for danger

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

LDU was a Hawks fan.

Like all our other trade targets.

 

[Brucie Buffer]

People look at Clarko coming in and being the all mighty savior.
Our list was no where near as bad, we made a prelim a couple of years before, then recruited Rough, Bud and Lewis.
If they are forced to trade LDU before he becomes a free agent and Zurhaar likely out the door, I can’t see them coming back from there.
LDU smashed us a couple of years ago, has been injured since, in the right team and getting his body right would a very good pick up for someone.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Who would you go harder for Baz or LDU?

 

[The hands of stone]

Reckon it will be Geelong, fits their profile and swaps out for danger

Danger wants to go on at this stage . They just paid premium to keep Holmes .
To get LDU they will need to move a few more out . Not sure they will want to do that .

Carlton are already playing 5 players a million, they wont add in any big players.

 

[TylerDurden]

Pies.
Browne has said they're only interested in trading their way out of a rebuild.

LDU as no draft capital
