2023 into 2024 trade talk (Part 4)

Menzie was good last year. A poor start, but our forward set up does not help the smalls at all.

Andy Brayshaw is a super player but not what we need in our mix.

Davies Uniacke and Clug on the other hand …

Even still, I’d focus on small forwards over everything else.

I’d be shocked if there aren’t 10 clubs chasing them.

Saints won’t get any of them.

Nor will we.

Cats will get Bailey Smith and Clug in one go and be set to go again for another 10 years.

Not forwards so I’m not upset.

Cats will get Bailey smith
and probably trade out Bowes for a third rounder to Hawks.

McLuggage will stay unless he was one of players involved in that lions saga, but think they would prefer to keep clugg and move on Cam Rayner.

I would probably pick McLuggage over LDU if we could get him as a free agent.

Our midfield is in good shape right now I think, we need damaging flankers.

I like Sam ‘candles’ Wicks, good speed which we lack in our small forwards. Comes from Sydney through their academy, these guys can be a steal as Vic recruiters tend to have an out of sight, out of mind mindset, with anything above the barrassi line.

Can’t see Brayshaw leaving Freo or McLuggage packing his McBags. Maybe LDU…North could then do their favourite thing and stack up draft picks!

Hawthorn will think they’re a big chance too, and get laughed at.

Who are the best available small forwards at years end ?

Tyson Stengel OOC but he would be crazy to go from Geelong to Essendon

Someone will get JUH on a $12 mil 10 year deal.

JUH would be crazy not to chase the cash. His best season was 35 goals playing as the second option and people are talking about paying him a million plus a year on a Buddy type contract. Buddy had kicked over 500 and won two flags before he moved.

I don’t think the doggies would be too worried either, they can push pretty hard on trade terms because he’s not a FA and they have Darcy’s boy coming through at the same time.

He has had a fallout with a certain player surrounding his ex girlfriend and part of Sydney’s way of dealing with it was to leave him behind in Sydney didn’t even play VFL this weekend

Cracks are appearing get him

Liam Duggan is a free agent. I’d have him at half back.
