INTEREST BUILDS IN SUNS' PICK

RICHMOND and Adelaide are among the clubs interested in Gold Coast's pick No.3 with the Suns open to splitting the selection for multiple top picks.

The Suns inquired about trading up to pick No.1 with North Melbourne listening to offers, but the Roos are strongly tipped to hold the selection with South Adelaide teenager Jason Horne-Francis in their sights.

As reported in Inside Trading earlier this month, the Suns are open to trading their top-three pick for two early selections, which has seen the Tigers show interest. Richmond is well placed to make a move up the board with picks 7, 15, 26 and 28 inside the top 30.

The Tigers could package multiple selections to jump up the order, with future picks also an option at their disposal.

The Crows hold pick No.4 at the draft but that will be bumped back to No.6 after bids on father-son pair Nick Daicos and Sam Darcy and they have also shown interest in potentially edging up the board. Adelaide also holds pick 23 but will also be looking to negotiate a trade with Sydney for Jordan Dawson.

Finn Callaghan, Ben Hobbs and Josh Ward are all midfield options pressing to be top-six draft picks, while Josh Gibcus and Mac Andrew are the tall options in the mix outside of Darcy.

Any pick swap deal at the top end could come much closer to November's NAB AFL Draft, however, with clubs able to swap selections up until a week before the event – and then again during the draft.

Adam Cerra is set to nominate Carlton in the coming days, according to Jon Ralph in the HeraldSun.

https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/moneyball-follow-all-the-latest-trade-contract-draft-and-coaching-news-across-the-afl/news-story/aeb1c71b87e94a82b1af1cc160ca8e76

Edit: Here's the article ....

Talented Fremantle midfielder Adam Cerra will nominate Carlton as his preferred new home in the days after the Grand Final.

As revealed by the Herald Sun last week, Cerra was always keen to wait until the last of Melbourne’s Grand Final responsibilities were over before making an official call.

But it is believed that the 21-year-old has had contact with Carlton’s new senior coach Michael Voss in recent days and is now keen to make his mark in the Blues’ revival.

While Cerra flirted with the idea of joining the Grand Final Demons, Melbourne’s inability to get the trade done with Dockers was always going to be a deal-breaker.

Alongside Sydney’s George Hewett, who will secure a four year free agency deal at the Blues, Cerra’s recruitment would be a coup for Voss as he looks to fast-track the club’s long-running rebuild.

The Blues and Dockers will get to work on a potential trade which is almost certainly like to start with Carlton’s pick 6.

----------------------------

Also:

* Tom Mitchell to stay at Hawthorn.

* Mitch Wallis and Stef Martin to play on at the Bulldogs.

* Patrick Lipinski to Collingwood for a swap of future picks, perhaps a future 3rd (due to both clubs using this year's picks for bid matching).

North Melbourne is exploring adding delisted Adelaide forward Tom Lynch to its playing list as part of a development coaching role for 2022.

In addition, it could see the 31-year-old added to the Roos' rookie list which would see his wage consumed as a player and not the football department spending. 

It would be a similar move to that of Port Adelaide which listed development coach Tyson Goldsack as a rookie in 2021 while also playing SANFL.

Interesting this year the media doesn't know what we're up to in this upcoming trade period. Not even speculation. Virtually every club listed in Foxsports' trade wrap except us (and Norf who no one cares about anyway).

https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-trade-news-2021-fox-footy-trade-wrap-on-almost-every-club-before-trade-period-latest-trade-updates-negotiations/news-story/efa58497762ab6717c5ab5a6416f61fa

So we're either doing very little or we're keeping our cards very close to our chest.

Mega trades state of play: Every AFL club’s draft picks and players they’re linked to

Foxsports
26 September 2021


RICHMOND

Players that could leave

It would be a considerable blow, but both Mabior Chol and Callum Coleman-Jones look like leaving, with Foxfooty.com.au revealing the former will join the Gold Coast Suns via free agency. Coleman-Jones wants to get to North Melbourne on a four-year deal, but a trade will have to be struck there and it will be interesting to watch how hard the Tigers decide to dig their heels in for him. Josh Caddy struggled to break back into the senior side this season and could be looking to become a four-club player despite being contracted for next season.

Players that could arrive

The Tigers had an interest in Adam Cerra but he’s decided on Carlton. There isn’t a whole lot out there that would suit the Tigers, so there’s no reason why they shouldn’t back themselves in at the draft to help get the next wave of talent up and running. Compensation for Chol and Coleman-Jones will only bolster their considerable draft hand too, so it could be a regeneration on the run for them if they play this right.

------------

Robbie Tarrant will join Richmond as an unrestricted free agent as he looks to win a premiership in the final years of his career.

"Collingwood are really confident they will get Patrick Lipinski from the Bulldogs and Nathan Kreuger from the Cats"

"Brisbane has shown an interest in Levi Casboult."

"Rival clubs, including Essendon have started to pick up the phone on St Kilda contracted player Ben Long".

"He [Hawk Tim O'Brien] thinks he'll be playing elsewhere if given a chance, Port Adelaide are one of the clubs interested."

George Hewett and Jordan Clark have reportedly been offered four-year deals to join Carlton and Fremantle respectively.

According to The Herald Sun, Geelong wants a draft pick somewhere in between Fremantle’s first and second-round selections before sanctioning a trade for Clark.

AFL website stating what we already knew.

Whispers:

The Tigers have replaced David Astbury in their backline by targeting North Melbourne veteran Robbie Tarrant on a two-year deal as an unrestricted free agent. It shows Richmond's mindset of again having a dip at the flag next year. The Tigers will lose Mabior Chol as a free agent to Gold Coast while young key forward/ruck Callum Coleman-Jones has requested a trade to North Melbourne. The Tigers will push for a good pick from the Roos to add to an already very strong hand of selections. Richmond is interested in packaging up a couple of its early picks to move up the draft board, showing interest in the Suns' pick 3.

RICHMOND

Can the dethroned on-field kings become the off-field kings with picks galore?

It’s become a common off-season sight in the Tigers’ dynastic period; rivals (usually Gold Coast) plucking fringe and depth players.

That’ll be the case this year too, with Callum Coleman-Jones seeking a trade to North Melbourne, and Mabior Chol to sign as a free agent at the Suns. But that won’t be all in 2021.

After missing the finals, and owning Geelong’s first-round pick thanks to a 2020 draft night deal, Richmond has more draft capital than every other club; two firsts (7 and 15), two seconds (26 and 28) and two thirds (40 and 44).

It seems almost inevitable they’ll get involved in deals because so many teams need something they have.

Only three clubs have multiple first-round picks; the Tigers, the Giants (2 and 13) and Brisbane (14 and 18).

Gold Coast is almost a fourth, owning an end-of-first-round compensation pick (19) as well as their natural selection (3), but they’re keen on trading out that high selection - whether for an experienced player or for multiple picks lower down the order.

Richmond and Adelaide are said to be among the clubs interested in a deal for pick 3, and using the Draft Value Index, a fair deal would see the Tigers gain that selection for picks 7 and either 26 or 28. (The Suns would probably ask for 7 and 15, which combined are worth pick 2 using the Index).

But the Tigers could also use their second and third-round picks to take advantage of sides like Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs, who need to match bids for father-son prospects Nick Daicos and Sam Darcy respectively.

Those bids are likely to fall in the top three, meaning both teams need more picks or else they’ll go into draft deficit for 2022. So could Richmond offer up 28, in the middle of the second round, for Collingwood’s future second (which could be juicy)?

What about 26 and 40 for the Bulldogs’ future first? After all, if the Grand Finalists think they’ll be contenders again in 2022, that pick would fall in the high teens anyway.

These pick swaps could be completed on draft night itself, but the Tigers’ sheer mass of selections gives them options - and in an off-season with tight salary caps almost across the board, flexibility is king.

West Coast small forward Jarrod Cameron (younger brother of Charlie) has told the club he doesn’t want to play for them next season despite being contracted.
Edit: Update to 👇🏻
Cameron will take leave from footy. It’s not retirement, but it’s a break. Tough couple of years with injury.

AS things stand, Carlton is yet to be told by Adam Cerra they are his club of choice. Blues working with WC on a trade for Sam Petrevski-Seton & mulling over involving Jarrod Brander. Lochie O'Brien told to wait, but Will Setterfield is contracted for next year despite reports.

Western Bulldogs and Geelong have been linked to Port Adelaide ruckman Peter Ladhams.

Brisbane are contemplating several tall options to bolster their big-man stocks, reports The Herald Sun. They include ex-Blue Levi Casboult, Cat Darcy Fort and Magpie Mason Cox.

Should Tigers blow the bank on O’Meara trade?

Melbourne’s premiership has shaken up the trade landscape. Why a Jaeger O’Meara to Richmond move makes sense for both clubs, plus the 11 deals you can take to the bank.
