Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2025

[Andyy]

So I wonder if saints would be offering anything up for either one of our picks to give to blues.

I assume the blues  will match TDK?

I'd be surprised if they match

The don't have the cap space

So then it's a compo pick after the saints?

I'm all for the baggas getting rolled by the system, but that compo is just garbage.

As it stands now it's pick 10, before taking into consideration any academy picks.

Bad management by the blues to not be in a position to match and force a trade, therefore  receiving a better hand.

Blues compo is a pick after their ladder position, isn't it? So around P9 + slides?

Assuming that's how it works when you've traded out your first rounder.

Saints only have P7 anyway and tbh given they have Marshal I don't think they should trade for De Koning.

Baggers paid their players on the assumption that they would win 5 flags in a row.
It actually works in reverse which is why Cats and Pies can continually go after free agents every year

No way on earth Carlton would match that offer even if they could which they can’t. If they could offer anywhere near that crazy money that the saints are offering TDK would have re-signed months ago.

Blues will get band 1 compo which is the pick after their ladder position initially and then sliding back for each father son, academy and FA compos lol

Yeah so in this draft, easily P13+?

Suckers

Yeah you’d think it will fall somewhere around pick 15 lol

They can’t complain too much though as their own father son pickup will cause it to slide down.

Harley Reid extended to the end of 2028 so we can finally stop posting about that now.

[one-eyed]

“I sat down with Shane Dunne, their [Richmond's] CEO this week, and clearly this off-season is going to look very different to last year when you consider the retirements and the departures of so many premiership greats, plus the departure of (former CEO) Brendon Gale,” AFL.com.au journalist and SEN regular Josh Gabelich told SEN Crunch Time.

“This year, they go to the draft with pick two and pick three, that’s what they’ve got at the moment. They are not going to be aggressive – we don’t expect – in the trade period.”

Would be madness for us to go trading now.

Happy to offload someone like Short.

If the correct offer for Balta came I'd consider that too given we have all of Miller, Young, Gibcus, Trainor, Faull, Sims, Armstrong.

That's about it.

Hopefully we go to Port Adelaide with 2&3 for Butters.

Reckon that's enough? Not sure personally.

Would they send back 42 for Kellaway? Would slide to 50 or so probably.

Seeing Butters has said he will honour the final year of his contract and this all seems to be media driven I don't think it really matters TBBH

Also, and assuming he wants to leave the RFC could offer those picks but end of the day he needs to want to come to RFC and I doubt very much he'd want to

If he’s interested in coming to Richmond then just wait a year and get him as a free agent. The time for trading will come but it’s not in the next couple of years.
