Sydney could be an ideal trading partner

[Yze_Magic 3]

I get the feeling the Swans would kill for a class midfielder capable of kicking goals. The Swans have stagnated, and need some icing on their hard working midfield

Luckily for us, we have icing by the bucketload

Green, Bruce and Johnstone

I reckon the Swans would love either one of those guys. We could make a trade with Swans into something very beneficial

But do the Swans have anything we want? I look at their list, and all I can think is that their 1st round pick is all I would want for one of the above three players

Travis is probably the one they'd want to feed their forwards, one of which they might hope could be Robbo?

This for their 1st rnd pick + a player, I don't know enough about their 2nds to pick from.

Who would you like 'Yze_Magic', from the Swanny's young'ns?

Travis and Kirk would work together soooo well this is why we shouldnt give up Travis to Sydney. Come back to bite us in the arse.

The only person i would trade for is Ryan O'Keefe absolute gun!

We're disagreeing because we're seeing things from different time perspectives. I don't care about next season, high up the ladder wise. In fact I would much prefer to recruit a good No of young quality draftees, (If we can get 2 kids ready to play top footy next season), & finish around 7 or 8ish wins whilst still playing competative exciting footy will make me feel very optimistic about our flag future.

But recruiting young Guns requires early selections & good recruiting management.

Sydney's list is I think on a slow decline.

Mate i'm not disaggreeing with you, i agree with your opinons but i for one disagree with trading Travis especially to the swans as I think Travis and Kirk would make a deadly combination aswell as the rest of the swans midfield. The swans are on a decline but they are still a quality side with a very good core but imo what teh swans need is a KPB and a knew FF to take some pressure off Hall and O'Loughlin.

There's not too much that the swannies could offer us to satisfy our requirements when it comes to a trade for Trav.

People need to keep in mind that there is no point in trading for trading sake.

It would be one of those lovely trades with 3-4 way clubs involved.

[The Backyard Charizard 1,178]

I for one would be dissapointed if we traded TJ....

The guy has given me no end of frustration over the years, but it would be nice to see him have a solid pre-season and a great year next year!

Seriously, Trav has no-one but himself to blame for even being touted as a potential trade! His work ethic and passion (from an outsiders view) has been well below par! People rave and rave about how good Chris Judd is.....

Trav.... The only difference between you and the Juddernaut is the fact that he has sacrificed his lifestyle, worked his ar$e off, and realised his full potential....

Please have a strong pre-season.... I realise injuries have knocked you around over the last few years (little niggles and bone problems) but get off the Pi$$ and show us the TJ we all know can win a Brownlow!!!!

[grazman 6,414]

It looks like Sydney may hold onto Jolly, so they wouldn't immediately target a ruckman.

Roos has always gone hard for a target in trade week and isn't adverse to trading any pick to get what he wants. Trapper fits the bill, in terms of their needs -their list is on limited time, Trav would make an immediate impact. If they offered their first pick for him I'd jump on it.

Quite correct Graz about Sydney and the price is right for TJ.

The only difference b/w Trav and Judd is daylight.

You know what I have wanted TJ to have a strong pre-season for 9 seasons........still waiting.

[davey_magik 1]

I don't think they'll trade TJ unless we got a ripper of a deal, I think Bailey will want to see what he can do with him.

i read this on bigfooty i think i struck a liking to it...

Pick 4 + maybe a sweetener like Miller/Jamar/pick37 to Freo

Pick 7 + Ryan Murphy to MFC.

we down grade out pick 3 spots, which will still leave us one of Rance, Henderson, McEvoy or Masten to choose from. and we gain Ryan Murphey, a true key forward we deperately need...

Freo upgrade their pick to number 4, which will allow them to snap up Palmer or Masten (whoever they rate higher), both extremely highly rated Western Australians who will both almost definitely be gone by pick 7.

this kind of astute trading is what we need.

go dees

Whats the big deal with Ryan Murphy?

What has he done at AFL level? Nothing

No way do I want to drop three spots in the draft to pick up a guy who has done nothing and will probbaly do nothing

[astrodee 0]

Forget Rance - he's Murray's son and will most likely a father/son selection to WCE.

[Pinball Wizard 272]

Murray Rance didn't play enough games with the Eagles to make his son eligible. We can take him if he's available and we want him.

Ryan Murphey had an very impressive 2006 season. this season he plays well at wafl level but found it hard to make the seniors because tarrant basically took his position.

freo have tarrant and pavlich as 2 big forwards so he could be a good pick up

[Red and Blue Flame 142]

I think your dead right yze magic- trav or green or bruce (reluctant to trade green he wears his heart on his sleeve), trav is lazy and brucey can be too. I'd take their first round for trav...trav is slight, doesnt run hard enough defensively and pinpoints the kick on too many occassions. and yeah maybe a player as well
