Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2025

[Tiger Khosh]

3 years is excessive. He’ll be 33 by the start of next season. Missed 10+ games last season and another hand full this season.

I don't see why you would want Mihocek if lynch is staying.

Faull. Armstrong. Sims.

From the AFL web-site re the Forgotten Man Koschitzke
======================================

Essendon's Jayden Laverde, Hawthorn's Sam Frost and Richmond's Jacob Koschitzke are some of the other names the Giants have been looking at.

Laverde has played 12 games for the Bombers this year but is one of more than a dozen at Tullamarine in contract limbo. Frost has played only two senior games following the arrival of Tom Barrass and Josh Battle, while Koschitzke has played only twice under Adem Yze this year.

GWS is often in the market for low-cost players and has success over the journey, with the likes of Jesse Hogan, Matt de Boer and Toby Bedford all making big impacts at Engie Stadium. – Josh Gabelich

They can have Kossi, just pay his salary IMO.

As much as he seems top bloke.

'Perfect fit': One realistic trade target for all 18 AFL teams this off-season

Richmond

Target: Malcolm Rosas (Gold Coast)

Another Gold Coast player linked with a move out for greater opportunity, Rosas would be a great addition to Richmond's forward line.

The Tigers have Seth Campbell, Maurice Rioli and Steely Green, but Rosas would certainly be in their best side as a small forward and mix well with the existing group.

If not him: Davies, another Sun, would also make sense for Richmond in 2026 as they build out their list.

Four

allan to the lions so its pick 3 and 4 for us.

Nope we want a late third or 4th rounder for him. Opens up another spot in the draft may even be enough for Kellaway.
Keep saying it Tassie is coming and list turnover continues to be a big need.

For me 4 nd picks 2 f/a if possible a trade maybe and we utilise the rookie drafts PSSS, PSD, MSD and rookie draft targeting top performers in  the state leagues with what will be the second pick in most of them.

[one-eyed]

Foxfooty.com.au runs through which defenders the Dogs should target to help turn the club into a bona fide contender.

Nick Vlastuin (Richmond)

The triple-premiership Tiger has been a legit All-Australian contender this year as the cornerstone of Richmond’s defence, holding up superbly against bulk opposition inside 50s. More of a medium defender at 187cm, but as competitive as they come. The pitch from the Dogs would be pretty obvious. The 31-year old has been a great servant to the Tigers and given them everything, but he could still net the rebuilding club some value in a trade and finish off his career at a finals-caliber side, if not more. Not only did Vlastuin rank No. 5 in intercepts this year and No. 16 in rebound 50s, he also averaged 19.1 disposals per game. An unrestricted free agent next year.

Nathan Broad (Richmond)

Broad has long stayed fiercely loyal to the Tigers over the journey and throughout the recent slide. But like Vlasutin, Broad would be questioning if he’s going to play finals again. Though the triple-premiership defender ultimately might not care. Broad has admitted he considered a move to North Melbourne last year, while the 32-year old earlier this year said he plans to retire when his current contract expires at the end of 2026, with the lure of returning to Perth.

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.

If the blues matched whose to say that tdk would want a trade ?
