TRADE RUMORS

Featured Replies

Far out.

It's begun already. I thought I could last until September and then bugger off for a while.

You're contracted.

What will D'Land get in return?

I just don't see this move working out...

 
Yes on Scully. Don't know about Trengrove but he's doing well in the SANFL.

I believe so.

Scully will play just as many as a Rich this year IMO. He's that good.

Trengove will be ready, he's been playing for Sturt of late and playing well. Becoming accustomed to 'hard bodies' in at Senior level.

Others may have different opinions.

Thanks Guys i saw a lot of WAFL games last year through work at the ABC, but we don't get the interstate Feeds this year.

Last year i watched Rich Nik Nat (freak Talent) & Taylor walker all evolve-was great. I can't hate 'em!!!

Our young must be that good & Better.....

Are Scully & Trengove as "ready made" as Daniel Rich.

The difference between Rich and both Trengove and Scully is that Rich has an unbelievable physique. He has such a huge amount of muscle bulked onto his frame for an 18/19 year old, that even people who train 10 years might struggle to achieve. He is just lucky that his body has the genes to easily put on muscle. Morton on the other hand, has a body type that really struggles to put on muscle. He'd have to eat a horse to put on any weight.

Short arms...


Question i need answering as best as possible.

Are Scully & Trengove as "ready made" as Daniel Rich. I saw a lot of Rich on TV. I haven't seen the 2 Boys for this year, only go on what i read.

Are they Ready for senior AFL straight away??

Yes and no. Rich is ridiculously overdeveloped, and has the skill set to make an impact immediately... including a loooong, flat, accurate kick, which is something that is as useful at 18 as it is at 32.

Scully isn't that kind of player necessarily. And neither he nor Trengove have the big body of Rich right now. But then, who does? In terms of work ethic, skills, and engines... I can say at least in Scully's case, he could play a lot of footy next year. Trengove has also been playing amongst men all year too.

The only thing will be how their bodies handle the physical stuff. I'd have said the same as all of this about Grimes, but his first season was ruined by a back injury. Scully is fairly slight... Trengove less so, but still just a teenager. There's a reason they call Rich Bam Bam.

Here's one from left field - Melbourne sounding out Danyle Pearce !

why? is he out of favour with Chocco ?

I heard at the weekend from a "source" very loosely associated with the club that Shaun Burgoyne will request a trade.

Same source also added a bit of background to what Rucci alluded to as the "cliques" among the players which is affecting their playing as a team and may be part of the reason Shaun wants out. Not surprising both Burgoynes and Pearce are supposedly members of the same clique with Senior Burgoyne being the prime "agitator", as also alluded to by Rucci when mentioning "off field issues" affecting his on field performance.

All is not well down in Alberton it would seem.

thats for sure.. seems to be a pigs breakfast of 'affection and love' pmsl !! I geta few bottles from a SA wino mate..he an avid Crow boy..he thinks its hilarious. They seem on the point of implosion .

Pearce is more than handy. I say it again ..trade week 2009 is going to be very intereting..ought to be a lot more 'interests with weight"

I'm not surprised if this is all true. I'm glad you mentioned Pearce, it confirms what I heard. I wonder how Bailey got along with these blokes. :)

Food for thought.

edit: And Josh Mahoney...

Probably why they're scrambling to get Hardwick back even though he's been knocked back by North and now probably the Tiges.

Don't blame the tiges either for choosing Hinkley.

Anyone seen the speech at 3/4 time in the GFL grand final?

That was against my team.

The bastard got them up that's for sure - they wouldn't have had a chance without him pulling the strings.

Yes, it seems it's Hinkley to Tigers, Hardwick to Port Adelaide like the Buckley/Malthouse and Roos/Longmire set-ups. Stuey Dew to replace Hardwick at Hawks?

I think with these sorts of developments Bailey will really be in the gun next year, re: media speculation as to his demise.

Same with Clarkson at Hawthorn.

Let's hope we can win enough games to keep this from happening. Let another club be the story

Who is out of contract? Buckley? Bartram? Jamar? Rivers? Id be happy to part with these guys

Rivers?

Don't let 'Jaded' see this!! :D

point 1 - you dont have to be involved in trade week

2 - DB is building a list of kids to grow learn and play together

3 - for the last time ,Rich was playing against men for two years before entering the AFL system, Scully , like Watts will be a star but MAY need time

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
