Big week looming, ahead of trade deadline
With less than a week to go before the 2023 trade deadline, The Darkness’ list management team is preparing for an active trade period.
The club is said to be prepared to bear 2023 salaries, to allow a number of players to find new homes - whether chasing a flag this year, or offering their services for clubs making a tilt in 2024.
2023 finals plans are expected to be a focal point in discussions, but a number of clubs are already looking to improve their lists for 2024 and beyond.
