Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2025

What’s the chances his father was using his influence to get such a good deal for his son.
I thought they would delist him before he found some form as a backman.
I bet Carlton had a collective sigh now he’s out the door and they will get a decent pick

It'll be at least band 2 so around P22-25.

Band 1 would be stuffing BS for a player like him.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

I think it’s a great outcome for everyone;-
Carlton will most likely get band 1 and stuff up the pick
St Kilda will now lose Wilkie which means they are now no better off and probably could’ve kept Wilke for less
The Pies succession plan for Howe has been shot to bits and that little smug piece of crap looks like an idiot 6 weeks after claiming he had him

It’s beautiful

If St Kilda does not get into the top 4 next year with the recruits they have got it has to be seen as a failure

[one-eyed]

Deluded or desperate?

Both

The Western Bulldogs offer for Cal Wilkie is more than $1 million per year across four years. Just less than $4.5 million all up.

Wilkie has two years remaining on his deal at the Saints and is seen as a future captain, but it won't stop the Dogs from having a crack.

West Coast’s Liam Ryan is believed to have handed in a trade request expressing his desire to play for St Kilda.

Having told Eagles officials that he wanted to leave the club this week, the Saints have been heavily linked with the small forward, reportedly offered him a three-year deal, earning an average of $600,000 across the deal.

That also includes a trigger for a fourth year on that deal.

A third of the comp want McGovern? Laughable.

Marshall on the other hand I'd be keen on except that he's about to turn 30 so it feels like the wrong age profile for us.

Windhager I would have a go, personally.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Agree with all points Andyy

Rated Chesser in his draft year but I'm not really sure he's come on as expected

Port Adelaide are reportedly in the box seat to steal small forward Jesse Motlop from Princes Park, as contract negotiations have stalled between the 21-year-old and Carlton.

According to 7 News' Xander McGuire, while several rival clubs are monitoring Motlop's situation at the Blues, the Power are the most likely option for Motlop to move to, should he opt against signing an extension.
