Trade talk - from October 2024 (Part 7)

They just re-signed Bevo too what if they have a poor year in 2026

I wouldn’t pay too much attention to what Nino has to say on the draft, as he’s just trumpeting his anti-draft agenda…… as he does every year.

It’s early days in the National Championships. So there is still a fair bit to play out.

At the moment there is a clear top 5-6 players, who are rated highly. At the moment they’re all pushing for the no. 1 pick, as there isn’t a stand out yet.

It’s still very important to get into that top 5 of the draft…. As that gives us good chance at getting elite talent

I might be wrong here but I think the reason why many are down on this draft is because there are a few f/s and academy players at the top which means the open draft is shallower and also the Victorian talent is not as good as last year. That combination seems to have spooked a few. I think there is enough talent that 2 two 5-10 picks should result in us picking up 2 very good players.

Twomey has also said the draft lacks star power

Bevo doesn’t have poor years, they are a perennial top 10 team but they go into finals series needing everything to go perfect

Just ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  tell us. Why protect these wankers

So reports are the Klan are very very confident about landing Ben King next year, if thats true cant see how they also land Rowel as well.

I hope we are up to our eyeballs in getting Rowell. It was reported if Rowell goes that GC would want a player in return they don’t want anymore draft picks

Petracca this year, Ben King as a FA next year.

Pies keep rolling. They will get it done.

Just land Harley… he’s showing what he’s capable of.

They had to have a backup plan after missing out on May.

Rowell would just be like our Shiel pickup.

Only Harley. or go to the draft.

Rowell is 10x the player Shiel is.

Rowell is what our midfield is missing. We get him we can fark off the likes of Parish,Hobbs,Tsatas for some picks

I think the plan is storm the AFL and change the rules. Eddies plan.

Tom Morris.

WC offering Allen 3 years with triggers for a fourth.

Brisbane offering 6 years reckons he will be there next year.

6 years is pretty nuts for a 26 year old with dodgy knees. Allen would be crazy not to take it also gets a shot at a flag
