Latest news and rumours:

• Tom Barrass officially requests trade to Hawthorn
  • Duffield: Eagles want two first round picks - "It may have to be in this year’s draft rather than a future pick."
  • Morris: Josh Battle is set to join Barrass at Hawthorn in 2025 - Ralph: Unclear if Hawks will pay enough for Band 1

• Kysaiah Pickett interested in a trade
  • "Club and management are confident they can work through his concerns"
  • Daniels: Pickett’s preference is Fremantle. Fremantle are keen, but Bolton the priority. Getting both “not impossible”. West Coast “an option if things get complicated.”

• Jai Culley, Coen Livingstone, Loch Rawlinson in line for one-year deals (The West)
  
  
• Liam Baker and Shai Bolton

Parfitt...meh

same boat as Graham for me

don't overpay then ok

Sent from my SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

yeah but rather him then baker, if it costs no draft capital.

 

[twce13]

With Waterman publicly stating his strong desire to remain at WCE does anyone think it’s a little odd that a deal hasn’t been done? I.e. that WCE are open to a trade for the right price?

given there is still a year before his contract finishes, no.

 

[new breed]

Gettable-

-Wce big on peatling (gws only have 2 yr deal in front of him) a lot of interest from other clubs also
-Wce could be interested in dgb

• Lindsay did a pcl (barass pick range)
• baker/Graham waiting on who wce coach is
• Graham has 4 year deal from wce in front of him wtf

DGB did hurt a knee early in the season or pre-season so this season has been a right off , although not an ACL. In a new environment might get back to form .

 

[eagles rule]

If a guy like Noble is getting pick 26 from GC, or Rioli getting pick 6, we can definitely ask and expect pick 20 + something for Ryan from them

Games played durability over the last few years would be a talking point..We can ask and fight for best value though ..

so Gettable was pretty vanilla.
-Xavier Lindsay has done his PCL. Think that’s enough for him to be available at 12 (if Hawks lose) if Travaglia is gone. 100% my second preference with that pick he’s exactly what we need.

-DGB mention was purely speculation, absolutely nothing to indicate he’d be part of a trade other than RB pondering it.

He had turf toe and missed the first half of the year this year.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

I'm sure there'd be a few suitors for Peatling, but if we want Dev, surely we just get him. A year on the outer at Brisbane has let him him know where he stands with them, a shuffling of third or fourth round picks is all that would be needed. Probably the easiest trade in history.

It's a big if for me.

 

[FootyLad0]

Parfitts AFL numbers (when not sub) are very good

Never understood why he doesn't get more regular games

Slow footed, disposal is meh.
Never a question of toughness or tackle ability but we've already got Atkins, Blicavs, Bowes and Jhye Clark who play as a defensive mid. Already have Danger, Bruhn and Holmes to play as attacking mids and Cuthrie hasn't played in nearly two years as an accumulator role.

Not to mention bringing in Bailey Smith to take over that attacking mid role. Writing was on the wall.

Just got squeezed out by better talent. Think he could thrive with more opportunity.
He's a battler

Thanks for the insight, always good to see what fans think of their players that might be traded to us.

Speaking of which, Bailey Williams would be a great fit for you lot. Definitely worth a first rd pick or two. Would be as absolute bargain.

Back to form?

Parfitt is a UFA.

Only costs $ and a list spot.

I think he's a better option than Graham, don't really want both

is a strange pickup.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

If the club takes DGB as part of the barrass I'll ****in scream. Wait for him to be delisted and rookie him. Clubs needs to have some balls here.

He's out of contract, injury prone and hasn't translated his game. Rookie would be a preference.

 

[Keys]

Definitely worth looking at Parfitt, but there’s a limit to the number of recycled players we can add.

This

We’re likely to delist most, if not all, of Rotham, Witherden, Jones, L Edwards and Trew who are all in that 22-26 age bracket that we’re light on for because they’re all fringe players at best

If we simply replace them with a different group of fringe players in the same age group we aren’t really progressing the list all that much

Setting aside trade cost for a moment Baker is better than that group. So is Graham and Peatling. Probably Garcia too although I think he’s more likely to stay at the Bulldogs

The other names being floated like Parfitt (who I don’t mind), Sheldrick, Carroll and Robertson are all outside their current teams best 22. In some cases, they’re probably outside the best 28-30

So bringing more than 1 or 2 of those is the sort of thing Essendon and St Kilda have done that’s got them nowhere beyond mid table

The trade period for us is shaping as our most active in a very long time

Really interested to see how it pans out

 

[Eastern Rangers]

So is dbg an upgrade to harry Edwards/bazzo?

How down are you on those 2? I don't much rate Bazzo, he's neither a W.Schofield type attacking third tall, nor has he put on the size to match the genuine tall forwards of today.

Sounds like Parfitt hasn’t been offered a new contract at Cats. As an unrestricted free agent that costs nothing, he may be worth a chat too.

If it allowed us another delisting it could make it worthwhile. Lift the bottom end of our list slightly?

 

[shooshka]

Definitely worth looking at Parfitt, but there’s a limit to the number of recycled players we can add.

There is, but that limit is probably 4, maybe 5.

And I doubt we get that many.

If we landed all of Parfitt, Graham, Baker, Peatling and another ruck (let’s say Soldo but could be a Knobel or others) we would be doing well. And whilst losing Barrass, we likely/certainly improve our draft hand at the same time.

With 10 list changes (estimated) it still leaves us 4 picks in the draft/s.

Likelihood is we don’t get all 5, but if we can we should!

sure, but it becomes a problem if these guys are all on lengthy contracts like graham has been rumored to been offered.

ideally guys like Parfitt are on a 1 yr deal.

What form? He's had 4 yrs on a list begging for key backs, what are now poaching our key back.

[Godfather32]

What I hope we're doing is looking at teams likely to have a cap squeeze in the next couple of years and offering to take on someone's salary for late picks.
Let's us use some of our free cap space and could potentially get us a better player/s than the offcasts that keep being brought up.

That’s too many.

Unless some of them are coming in as SSP’s, they’ll take senior list spots, which means less ND picks.

If we’re making 10 list changes then three or four of them (at least) will be guys coming off the rookie list - Baker, Trew, Culley, Rawlinson are the most likely.

Bringing in four recycled players onto the senior list would mean we’d only have two or, at most, three ND picks.

In a supposedly deep draft, for a supposedly rebuilding team, that’s nowhere near enough.

Bazzo IMO has just missed too much development. Big year for him.

Don’t mind Parfitt as midfield depth provided we’re not offering a stupid 4 year contract. 2 years plus a games trigger for a 3rd.

Ryan is a far better player than Noble, we should be expecting comfortably more in a trade than Noble gets
