Like to see us finally get our forward spearhead.
If you're going to post these, list a source. And not from a fan Twitter handle, a legitimate source.

As an aside Laurie see what I mean about the “we need a key forward” tripe?

Mitch Cleary has said we're strongly interested in trading for Lachie Schultz from Freo.

Lachie Schultz has now requested a trade to the Pies.
Would be a very good pick up in my view. Let's see what the Dockers ask for in return.

Please make an effort to list sources for trade rumours

As per mods request do you have a source?

Not sure what need he fills. We seen to have an abundance of pressure forwards… I know Elliott is getting on and Ginnivan perhaps isn’t so much a “pressure” forward. I’ll of course declare that some of last years trades seemed superfluous to me at the time as well (and that turned out ok).

I don’t mind him though - certainly gives it his all and pretty crafty around goal.

I’m also curious to know, do these players come out and say “I want to go to xxx” with both their own and the target club already working on something?

All over news sites.

Was BOG in their derby. Not sure the role he fills UNLESS Ginivan is on the move?

We've both been around long enough to be skeptical of contracts. Wheeling a dealing happens.

This mentions the Schultz thing.

He comes for "free' as he was previously de-listed so that is a huge bonus! He is unfashionable but hugely effective. Despite Taylor Adams effectiveness, Lachie shall be an excellent long-term upgrade. 33 goals this year and 50 inside 50 tackles this year plus durable playing 23 matches in 2022 and 2023. He finished 5th and 6th in best and fairest too.

Update: he actually hit a trigger for a third year contract so a trade may be required

Schultz is a serious talent. Finally a small defensive forward who actually kicks goals. He will be a massive beneficiary of our quick ball movement too.
Assuming the trade goes through, our forward line has just become potent.
He won’t have made this decision overnight, so I’m inclined to think this was on the cards long before the Adams request.

Good call Pies2016. Great pressure inside 50 forward with both offensive and defensive skills.
