Imagine how hard Jakey could hit May if they weren't teammates
Was going to suggest Balta as a free agent option, then saw he re-signed for 7 years last week. Earlier had been wondering if Tigers would trade him seeing as they're rebuilding, surprised that he's atill just under 25. Unfortunately they see him as a part of their future.

I doubt he's a target for us.
But no one has kept anyone who has nominated yet.
How does it work?
You match the pick. Does the player have to sign the contract with you? Or is it now an uncontacted player requesting a trade situation?
If it's the latter, he's 2 years away from unrestricted free agency. Not a strong trading position.
Cap is bursting. Thats why they let their best small fwd go and the best clubman also go. They know TDK will command huge money to stay on.
So much for their talks earlier in the year that they will all take less to stay together.....

Their cap is pretty tight.
They thought that they could certainly get Houston.
They told Young, Owies and Kennedy to look for new homes in the hope of getting draft capital and freeing up space in the cap.
That backfired on them and they played it off by going the draft route.
Signing Houston and keeping all those players would mean that they can’t afford to retain TDK after next year.

If north match an LDU offer they have to trade him to the team he signed with or he can opt for the draft
Nothing against Reef and Fin. Time/opportunity will tell.
If the player is matched it is like they become an OCC player with a contract in front of them. They can take their clubs offer, go into one of the drafts or be traded like any normal player.
Tomlinson will be an interesting watch. If, as it looks, we are moving Reef to defence, then he'd play similarly to a Tomlinson. KPD height but more of a runner, interceptor than a defender.
That being the case do we back in Reef/Dean/Frampton (plus Ryan as a shorter option but similar type), or sign a 32 year old stop gap?

Looks like it's up to our Billy Frampton to step up again. He's about all we've got aside from Moore.
The thing I thought was rather amusing was how they told Kennedy, Young and Owies to look elsewhere, and I presumed it was to open up cap space to play for Houston but no interest came for those players. Soon Houston to Collingwood was too far along and the Blues traded for pick 3, only then for Kennedy to move clubs. I imagine Kennedy would have been on at least 400, maybe 500k a year.
I wonder for how long the Bulldogs were interested in Kennedy, and wonder if they'd made moves at least a week earlier, if it would have changed where Houston ended up.
With Kennedy, Owies, Martin, Marchbank and Cuningham moving on, plus Williams closing in on the end of his deal, Carlton should be in a much better cap space going forward.
What about trying him down back?
Liam Jones would be handy!

Hell be 34 next year
Sam Collins could be very interesting. Seems to bleed for the club, but he is a Vic boy approaching the end of his career. Great defender, and the perfect kind to compliment the more attacking Moore.
Not a free agent but I'd love the club to chat with Nick Murray. Very underrated player outside of SA who will play a lot of good footy.

Yeah, don't see getting Collins out of GC.
But, Murray would be good value and not 24 til December.
I wouldn't know Collins' personal situation, but he was an Oakleigh Charger, like many Pies. Never say never. To me, he reads as someone very committed to seeing success up there though.

He’s had three and half years on the list. First half year he was injured, next two were decent with lots of promise and the third downright was poor.
Where do you get the half decade from?

North could maybe be the first to make that statement, and I think they have much to lose.

I still think McStay could be the perfect back man.

He'd need to lose a couple of kgs though. He needs a bit of agility to be Pies defender. Pies need defenders to be able to take the ball out of the opponents inside 50 quick with quick handballs or chip kicks.
Weitering for Carlton is a good example of a big thick guy who has good awareness and quick decision making and enough agility.
As if North wouldn't match. They can't just become the joke that is Gold Coast. Why would they need another pick 2 or 3 when they have no senior players? They have a heap of top end talent already but nowhere near enough quality around LDUs age. He is not Ben McKay who you'd gladly take the deal for.
You're thinking from an outside North point of view, but if he was ours and we were in North's position, we would all be saying we will just match, and if we then need to trade it will cost more than pick 2 or 3. Give us a gun 25 year old player.
So if somehow the planets align, LDU asks to move to us despite other vic clubs having way more money to offer him, we will need to work out a trade for him without a first round pick and with two likely poorly rated first round picks in 2026 and 2027.
Pipe dream. Fantasy footy. We may as well talk about how we are getting Harley Reid.
If LDU missed every game or most games next year due to injury, which nobody would want to see as he is such a brilliant player, that is the only scenario his value plummets enough to be a semi realistic target.
