Forget any note worthy players this off season. We simply dont have the draft capital.
We need to see what we get for Noble Richards macrae or Mciness. maybe a packet of chips for each
Best to take our picks to the draft. If we can get picks 12 or 20 and say picks 25 use them in the November draft get the Whitlock twins or at least one them.
A friend of mine works with a Carlton great and he was told we were going to get Hewitt from Carlton but looks like the target could be Kennedy even Owies could be good won't cost much
We cannot trade out our first round pick next year as we need that for Tommy gun Maguane there will be plenty of age right free agents next year heaps of them to suit our needs when dads army retires
maybe a stop gap could be Membrey or Ricccardi from GWS as a forward or even Tomlison as a stop gap kp backman

Don't expect much this year 2025 and 2026 when our cap opens right up is when we will go hard for players and free agents Allan from West Coast could be one although injury prone this is the worry.I would also target Rowell and Forgarty next year from Adelaide
There will be many free agents next year.
Wonder what happenned with Stringer heard is a no media outlets are saying. Shame cos he is a cheap option as a forward we need and can also go into the midfield
Well 2026 will be pretty much the last chance to get talent as the next year the Devils will have all the concessions to hoover up as many of the best players as possible.
In fact even 2025 may be impacted.
 
Has Edmund ruled us out from a reliable source or just with his Carlton smug satisfaction point of view
Not sure. He sounded pretty definite.
I was told last night we lost interest for a variety of reasons.

You know we are scatching when we are into 27 and 29 year olds who couldnt crack games this year at their otther clubs. Maybe it is the route to take, just the age profile of two of those dont seem worth the time.

If im thinking fringe players of other clubs, the appeal would be ones between 20-25 wanting more opportunity

yup under 25 for me.
 
I was hoping we'd pick him up back in 2022. Hasn't done much though since being with the Dogs, perhaps a new environment would be better for him.

On a side note, he lives with Treloar.
Yeah, he was one I wanted us to draft at the time

I’d prefer we target younger players too, the club clearly wants another flag with this list and is just going best available.

Considering no player mooted would cost much if anything can’t really begrudge them.

Sometimes you just gotta go all in.
 
Anyone got the age story on pies going all in on Harry Perryman ?

Giant moves loom as Cumming tells GWS he wants out; Cat set to re-sign



Giant moves loom as Cumming tells GWS he wants out; Cat set to re-sign​

Giants’ unrestricted free agent Isaac Cumming has told the club he wants to return to South Australia as Collingwood come hard to convince his teammate Harry Perryman to join them.
Cumming has not informed GWS whether he plans to sign with Adelaide or Port Adelaide, and two sources familiar with the situation confirmed only that both South Australian clubs were interested in the defender.

The Crows are considered frontrunners for the 26-year-old Cumming, who has played 81 matches with the Giants. He would be able to join either club without the need for a trade because of his unrestricted free agent status.
However, unrestricted free agent Perryman’s decision could impact what Cumming does, according to a source familiar with negotiations.

The Power remain favourites for Perryman’s signature despite both the Magpies and Hawthorn also being interested. Collingwood recently upped their offer for Perryman after failing to convince Adelaide’s Irish defender Mark Keane to join the club.
Cumming, who is originally from Broken Hill, has family connections in Adelaide and is highly rated at the Giants, but has had soft-tissue problems this season.
He could follow Perryman to Port Adelaide if the latter chooses to pledge his future to Alberton.
In that scenario, the Power could be more willing to entertain trading dual All-Australian defender Dan Houston, who has four years to run on his deal and would be open to a move home to Victoria, where he has multiple clubs interested.


Cumming’s decision is likely to have little effect other than salary cap implications for the Crows, who will trade in Demons utility Alex Neal-Bullen and are in the hunt for contracted Gold Coast forward Jack Lukosius.
Neal-Bullen is contracted at Melbourne for two more seasons, but has a newborn baby and wants to return to South Australia for family reasons. Lukosius, who is also contracted until 2026, was dropped late in the season and is in the sights of both Adelaide and Port Adelaide, but is yet to decide whether to leave the Suns.
The Crows may lose forward-ruck Elliott Himmelberg, another unrestricted free agent, with Gold Coast keen to add him to their big man stocks after his brother Harry’s club, GWS, made inquiries about him 12 months ago.
Breakout Giant James Peatling is also weighing up his future despite implying ahead of the club’s semi-final that he wanted to remain at GWS.
The Giants have increased their offer since mid-year, with Peatling transforming into a key contributor in the midfield by season’s end, including kicking two goals in the first quarter of Saturday’s semi-final while playing on Lions star Dayne Zorko.

The interest in Peatling from Victorian clubs such as St Kilda and Collingwood has not disappeared, and he is considering his future, even if he may remain at the Giants beyond 2024.
Out-of-contract Collingwood forward Joe Richards is also weighing up a three-year offer from the Power with a two-year deal to stay at the Pies.
Fellow Giant Nick Haynes has also been linked with a free agency move to Carlton.

Cats to retain veteran defender​

A unique skill set and positive attitude throughout the season when he was playing in the VFL will earn premiership defender Jed Bews a new one-year deal at Geelong.

“They are actually working through it right now, which is good,” Bews said. “That will all play itself out in the background.”
The 30-year-old has forced his way back into the team late in the season and played in the qualifying final against Port Adelaide after being the sub in the final round.

His role in finals could prove crucial as he matches up well against opposition small forwards such as the Lions’ Charlie Cameron, Sydney’s Tom Papley and Port Adelaide’s Willie Rioli.
With Tom Hawkins and Zach Tuohy retiring, the Cats are likely to re-contract veterans Mitch Duncan and Rhys Stanley for 2025. Premiership players Gary Rohan and Brandan Parfitt are both also out of contract.
