Early Trade Rumours for 2022
* Essendon have reportedly launched an “ambitious” play for an out-of-contract St Kilda big man.
According to 7NEWS, the cashed up Bombers are desperate to add another ruckman/key forward to help 23-year-old Sam Draper.
And their sights are set on Saints ruckman Rowan Marshall.
* Hawks looking at free agent Kyle Langford
* Some Essendon players out of contract: Nik Cox, Matt Guelfi, Alec Waterman, Andrew Phillips, Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti, Archie Perkins and Zach Reid.
Any interest?

Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
Rowan Marshall would be a great target if English leaves - he'd also be an ideal pairing for English, but I don't think we could afford both.

Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
With Ryder on the way out I’d be absolutely shocked if Saints let Marshall go under any circumstances.
I would love him at the dogs though.

One thing he is a straight kicker for goal.

Nik Cox. Apparently he's quite athletically gifted for a 200cm man.

It's all a bit Billy Gowers/Sam Lloyd isn't it?

A club would need to offer 800K a year at least to get him out on the Saints. Can't see them letting him walk.

Ha true. He can't offer much on the defensive side. Great kick as BAD says but you need more than one string to your bow surely.
Dodo strikes again!

Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
Saints have been linked to Lobb to replace Ryder and partner Marshall, no way would they let Marshall go.
-
Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
Kind of funny that Saints went hard at Sam Drapper a few years back to partner with Marshall.
Now Essendon returning the favour.

Is it all a signal about how aggressive Essendon are going to be in trying to improve?

That's been their m.o. for a while.
Remember the triple s'....?
2017 Saad, Stringer, Smith.
The following year Shiel which basically wiped their first pick for two seasons.
They also extracted a top 10 pick from GWS in Caldwell.
They have to go to the draft I think like they have been recently and suck it up as they tried the trade route and its set them back again.
Shame.
Edit : Caldwell went 11 not top 10.

Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
PORT FREE AGENT ATTRACTING INTEREST
VICTORIAN clubs are tracking Port Adelaide free agent Karl Amon as he considers his future beyond 2022.
The Power wingman was omitted ahead of round five but won a reprieve after a late withdrawal at the club, with Amon facing the Blues and then holding his spot the past two weeks in the Power's wins over West Coast and St Kilda.
Hawthorn is understood to be among the clubs with a level of interest in Amon who, as Inside Trading revealed last month, is expected to be an unrestricted free agent when the AFL releases its free agency bandings in coming weeks.

Looks like it otherwise he'd be ideal. Has he played a game this year?

You might be right but I think if he can get his mind right he may have something to offer. Don't think he would be overly difficut to get either if we were interested. There was some speculation last contract about him at the Dogs.
That said has had a long standing calf issue which is never a great sign.

Bobby Hill keen to leave GWS. Is he a small forward we should look at?

Yes, yes we should. Adds something different to our mix and is an upgrade on what we currently have week to week.
What do you think?

Agree with you, I rate him.

Can't wait for him to join the Hawks

He agreed to join Essendon last trade period but GWS and Essendon couldn't agree on a suitable trade.
Now, I know we are all shocked that dodo didn't get a trade done...

Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
Not sure I’d be giving up anything of value for Rob Hill. He’s an exciting player but he doesn’t really do a hell of a lot.
Compare his stats to Not Worth Persisting With and Literal Worst Player in the World Apparently Laitham Vandermeer. The results night surprise you.

He's talented no doubt but I wouldn't have him high on the shopping list.

Do Hill’s hamstrings implode every 2nd time he steps on a footy field too?

He must have been too busy trying to facilitate a trade for key position goliaths Mark Bolton and Aaron Henneman for 1st round picks each.

Scott West was the sweetener in the deal.

Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
I have some concerns about Hill's work rate and hardness at the contest. He's a nice player with space on the outside though.
-
Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
Hill seems like such any unBevo type player, can't see us chasing him.

Re: Early Trade Rumours for 2022
I mentioned this bloke ( Bigoa Nyuon ) in another thread, maybe a good target for a CHB/FB roll. Saw him play in the VFL and he looked impressive. Will make his debut this week, so see how he goes.

Didn't know he was related to Nyadol. Yes she is very intelligent, and a great story to achieve what she has.

You should watch the video of him calling Nyadol to tell her he is playing. It is a crack up...
"Who dis?"
