The Gold Coast forward has been a sub in five games, having only played six matches this year. The Bombers' need reinforcements, so why not go after someone like 29-year-old Alex Sexton? Harrison Jones’ 2023 campaign has been ruined by injury, Sam Weideman has provided another option but is still yet to put together enough consistently good football, while even mid-season draftee Jaiden Hunter’s season could be over before it begins as a result of a back complaint. While Peter Wright’s return has been welcome and he burst back onto the scene with five goals, the rest of the forward line is a work in progress. Gold Coast receives: Future 3rd Round Pick (ESS)Įssendon needs goal kickers, that much is clear. It’s a pipe dream, but one Collingwood would love to discuss. Perhaps this year’s second-round pick (tied to Carlton) and exciting tall Ash Johnson going the other way could bring the Suns to the negotiating table. Given he’s under contract for 2024, you’d imagine the asking price would be around three first-round picks, but Collingwood only have their own for this year and next. The Suns probably wouldn’t budge this year if the Magpies came for him, but he would be the perfect player to add to Craig McRae’s forward line this off-season. While any trade involving Ben King would likely come next season when he comes off-contract, Collingwood would love to get their hands on the gun Gold Coast forward. Gold Coast receives: Future 1st Round Pick (COL), Pick 18, Pick 23, Ash Johnson McLean isn’t a world-beater, but structurally would make sense inside 50 next to Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay, while Marc Pittonet carries the ruck load. Sydney gets their guy in Tom De Koning, but doesn’t pay the farm given they get back what could be pick 19 or 20 in 2024.Īnd Carlton swings for the fences, going all-in for Harley Reid, while replacing De Koning positionally with Hayden McLean. West Coast gets exactly what thy need, turning pick 1 into two top 10 picks and numerous additional assets to help their rebuild. Sydney receives: Tom De Koning (Carlton), Future 2nd Round Pick (West Coast), Pick 69 (Carlton) West Coast receives: Pick 4 (Carlton), Pick 6 (Sydney), Future 2nd Round Pick (Carlton), Pick 41 (Sydney), Pick 60 (Carlton) He’d be an ideal replacement for Daniel Rich, this could be a win-win for both parties.Ĭarlton receives: Pick 1 (West Coast), Hayden McLean (Sydney) The 28-year-old is contracted until the end of 2027 and the Lions probably don’t have a heap of cap space, but perhaps GWS would be willing to pay part of the remainder of his deal to get another first-rounder in. We think this gives Brisbane a golden opportunity to offload that pick for a quality player and some points later in the draft to use on an Ashcroft bid.Įnter Lachie Whitfield, the Giant is in strong form and is a player in his prime which suits Brisbane’s premiership window. If the Lions rate the younger Ashcroft brother as a very early pick, they’ll know their pick likely to get swallowed up by a bid from a rival club which allows them to get creative. GWS receives: Future first-round pick (2024)īrisbane already have Will Ashcroft, and by all reports his younger brother Levi Ashcroft is looming as a very early pick in next year’s draft. Keep in mind, this only happens if the clubs match bids for Redman and Doedee if they want out in free agencyīrisbane receives: Lachie Whitfield, Future 3rd Round Pick (GWS) But Matthew Nicks has got young talent coming out of his eyeballs and for a readymade defender who wants to be there, Adelaide would be happy to overpay to put themselves right in the premiership window.īut there's not a heap separating Redman and Doedee as players. With Doedee set to miss a significant chunk of next year with an ACL, it’s likely the Crows would have to throw in a sweetener. If they do both want out, it feels like an easy win. Redman is a South Australian (despite not growing up near Adelaide) while Doedee is a Victorian. NOTE: All draft picks are based on indicative draft order after AFL Round 14īoth restricted free agents yet to put pen to paper, and at Round 15 that’s a worrying sign for the two clubs alike. Of course, these are all hypothetical, and as the headline suggests, just a bit of fun.
