Trade talk - from October 2025 (Part 10)

No one really knows. This was Twomey’s proposed ‘haul’ of picks that Essendon could end up with this year. (Pick 2 after bidding on Cochrane, netting us compensation pick).

But there are other factors here that would move picks around - Zac Bailey or Ben King compensation, and picks being eaten up from Walker/Cochrane bids.

The rule reads like it is ladder order. It doesn’t mention being attached to the second round pick.

But as @bomberbojangles said nobody really knows.

Injury prone too. So he’s got Essendon written all over him.

i wonder if “hey buddy, we’ve got Matt Innes over here” is a slight draw for injury prone players.

Innes would have worked with Jones drafted (2021), Inness left the Kennell in 2023.

Seriously might aswell just ■■■■ the ■■■■■■■ competition down.

Its the same teams that are already at the top getting all of the best free agents.

Geelong, Hawthorn, Brisbane, Collingwood

Rinse and repeat, and people wonder why these teams rarely drop down the ladder.

Jones would be a great get for the club, exactly what we need to go alongside Huss, & Kako maybe a Neocleus?

We might finally start playing modern footy

But Geelong do? They have less to offer than the Bulldogs do!

Has there been any indication Jones wants to come to us?

Def not

Assuming we finish last, I really hope we utilise the pre season draft & walk someone though.

I’m really sick of us being a carpet for the AFL & the other clubs to walk over.

Butters is going to Geelong, good intel today.

Yes of course. They always get who they want. The only issue is how much extra will have to be given up by Port.

Port will probably just take the compensation pick than try and deal with Geelong.

Just this. I also think someone said Jones was strongly considering us because our offer doesn’t have triggers.

Is it just money or do we have to give something up?

No idea how they get it done as they don’t have much currency available.

How confident? Wild how the Cats do it.
