Trade talk - from October 2025 (Part 10)

What happened to Hayes?

Acl again

ā– ā– ā– ā–  life

Not many tall defenders available for free, but we could walk uncontracted ones to PSD

James Black (Hawks)
BZT (Port)
Harrison Ramm (port) we were into him year we got May mid season draft.
Dougal Howard (saints) - just to paper the cracks (30 years old)
Rampe UFA - could cover for a season (35yo)
Howe (35yo)

Jedd Buslinger - been ok at Dogs…filling in due to injuries

Would BZT want to return? Rampe could come for a year if Horse becomes coach

BZT could be getting delisted, so perhaps.

I forgot BZT existed

We don’t need world beating key defenders, just some that are more capable than Reid and McKay (the benchmark is low)

Must trade for key defenders

goodness me

Jack Payne shame he’s contracted to the Lions till 2029

And coming off his own pretty hectic knee injury with an unconfirmed return date

Didn’t know that

Ruptured patella ligament. Not great.

Charlie Ballard at GC. Get him in the Merrett Ridley trade

His 2023 season was really good. He’s only 26 too.

I can’t remember a year of injuries like this across the league.

Seems heavy on all fronts, impact injuries, softies, concussions, joint ruptures. It feels unrelenting

is that the big gorilla who punched ridley in the head and got off?

Unless Ridley can get on the park in the second half of the season there is no way you are getting Brisbane’s first pick. And if a miracle happens and Ridley plays the least 10 games then he may stay.
