Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2026

[one-eyed]

Early days for this stuff and all these names have been rumoured already across social media, but BF's tigercast tonight mentioned "noise" around us and one of Butters or Bailey, as well as us putting the feelers out on Lachie Neale. St Kilda's Darcy Wilson was another name brought up.

Yeah I'd take Butters and Bailey, why not both?

No thanks to Neale.

Don't know Wilson enough.

Will have to be careful with free agents as we will have to pay a lot of these draftees soon

Long time away from worrying about that. More so if they keep breaking down

[TigerLand]

Lynch contract is done.

By the time we have to pay big for our draftees Taranto and Hoppers overs warchsst will expire.

Tiger71 on the Tigercast youtube channel reckons we've been showing "whiteboard" interest in Swan Joel Amartey. Someone to fill in the age gap as a tall forward between Lynch who is nearing retirement and Armstrong/Faull.

No thanks to Amartey IMO

Don't waste time of B-C grade trades, especially with the stupid prices that KPF's are.

Just get a big fish or hit the draft.

Family of mine in Sydney can't stand Amartey.  Think he's a big waste of space.  They have NFI about AFL yet they can see this.

[Andyy]

Nuff said then mate.

No list clogger recruits
No wankers

[georgies31]

We're stacked with tall forwards. Target a ruck and gun midfielder

[ajGreen]

Lynch is a gun.

Keep him couple more year over Amartey and co

[Andyy]

his marking and leading was top notch

if he could kick half of them we won that game ffs

Contender ‘all chips in’ for Butters; $12m payday... that’s a sacrifice — Vic clubs’ chances ranked 1-10

Jon Ralph says: “It’s a chance, you’re telling me there’s a chance?! Vast cap space, perfect proximity to the city ... new facilities, you’re playing at the MCG. As Adem Yze says, you just get to walk across there - it’s so good on a Friday night. The flag window at some stage (comes), it’s a bit premature there. They would give up the picks, and of course they need an elite mid. That’s why they’re fourth because of that cap window, but I don’t think that’s the club he’ll get to eventually.”

This has been mentioned in the past, but Tiger71 this week on the Tigercast youtube channel reckons Gold Coast's Bailey Humphrey is another player of interest to us.
