I’d have thought Membrey would be a far more appealing choice for them

It would have to be pick 9 and a future 1st

LDU would command 1 Million for 5 plus a trigger for a 6th
I think it would be closer to 2 first rounders PLUS a second rounder if it was today.
BUMP

Trade period for another year is behind us. Hopefully the club picks up some exciting talent in the National Draft

As far as attracting a free agent next year, I think the focus for Ross and the team is to to continue playing aggressive and free flowing footy (similar to our last 8 rounds PLUS similar to Hawthorn and other top 8 teams in 2024). That's what will attract free agents

Number 1 target is LDU and we are front of the pack according to Mitch Cleary

One thing for certain is we’ll drive his market rate sky high.

tony74 told us ages ago that LDU is on our radar.
He's never told us outright which player we're targeting- this is a first.

edit : it was 5 Apr this yr.

Unfortunately I think NM can match any bid and force a trade, which may be more value to them than the compo pick.

NM would get a first round compensation pick immediately after their own pick so that may well be pick 2.

Kangaroo's signing up to play home games in WA for 3 years may help us pry him out!

Surely North will rise out of the bottom 4 this year. If not now, when?

Unlikely to be that low. Their younger players will be that bit older and more experienced, and have brought in some solid older players. Will not be a threat, but will keep off the bottom.

Tigers will want F1 to add to this year's haul. They will be content to bring in young talent before the Tassie picks start.
They have lost a lot of experienced players and will be blooding their kids.

WCE will still be poor.

Just my opinion, but I doubt a guy who I assume has never played in a final is going to change clubs to another bottom dweller or mid range floater.

I think we would need to play finals in 2025 and show we are on the up.

That makes sense DB, as there'll be a lot of the top teams lining up for his signature next year.

I have long thought that with Ross Lyon's connection to Fremantle, St Kilda will be targetting Andrew Brayshaw who is also at the RFA crossroad next year.

Either would be great....

May depend on Freos next coach (when they sack Longmuir mid season). If Gerard Neesham is brought back I think we would be a really good chance.

They are both exactly what we need.

If we don’t land anyone this time next year, we are going to look pretty foolish.
