Charlie Ballard

There's not many other rumours coming in.

The only other one that has any kind of substance is Charlie Ballard from Gold Coast.

he's in contract key defender often plays second tall key defender but just a good solid citizen who you know good intercept mark and what not he's still quite young he's 27 like he's not He's not that old, and he can't get quite into the Gold Coast team.

They've got McAndrew, Bodie, Eulens, and others there.

So if Murray did go, watch this space for getting Charlie Dallard in, and they need cap space as well, so we wouldn't get him for much.

The currency that Gold Coast is dealing with is not the AFL standard because they get you know, academy picks and extra cap space and whatnot.

So we might be able to get Charlie Ballard on the cheat with Adelaide boys, so that would be good to watch this space.

There's other out-of-contracts as well.

There's too many in no chance to my liking here.

Um, Ballard, Charlie Ballard from, uh, from the Suns.

I haven't heard much about this one at all.

I, I know that you, we can make it make sense maybe with their depth with McAndrew and Collins and whatnot back there, and, and Ulan.

Uh, I think Murray's a better option for us, to be honest.

Um, I think there's a good to okay chance that we actually do...

You know, like, if, if Murray fell through for whatever reason, I imagine we'd pivot to, like, a Ballard would be probably the next on the list, 'cause he is a bit surplus for what they need.

Um, he's probably a little bit injury-prone for what I like.

But like we've said with Jamarra on a, on a one-year deal that's now coming to fruition as well, I think they both stay.

Charlie Ballard was the one, and he's the one being pursued by the Dogs.

The Saints have an interest here as well.

Gold Coast are wanting him to stay, Jarred.

He's locked in there.

But beyond that, Charlie Ballard, first year back from an ACL, didn't really find his best form.

They recruited young Oscar Adams a year or so ago.

He shows pretty good signs, but again, not proven.

Gotcha.

Charlie Ballard wants out of the Suns.

Yeah, I think that's actually fact.

Yeah.

He does want to stay, so this one could potentially drag on for a bit, depending on what Sydney do and whether they offer a bit more.

Jordan Barts, Elijah Sardis, Ollie Hollands, Jake Rogers, Charlie Ballard, Zane Doesburgh, the list goes on and on and on, Jarred, of maybes.

Just email me that list, mate.

[laughs]

He does wanna stay, so this one could potentially drag on for a bit, depending on what Sydney do and whether they offer a bit more.

Jordan Barts, Elijah Sardis, Ollie Hollands, Jake Rogers, Charlie Ballard, Zane Durrs, the list goes on and on and on, Jarred, of maybes.

Just email me that list [laughs].

It's a big, it's a big body of work, this one.
