THE TRADING CHRONICLES 2009

Bruce to V.L means that half his salary doesn't affect our salary cap. It doesn't free up a spot.

The way I understand it it actually does free up a spot on the list, but means you can take 1 less rookie.

But he'd just be replacing Robbo anyway.

[drdrake 3,163]

Bruce going onto the VL does free up a spot, his spot on the list, he takes Robbo's spot on VL and then we have a spot available on our senior list.

But its just as if robbo was taking up a spot on the list and now he is gone...

So with Whelan, Wheatley and Robbo gone that has freed up 3 spots - dont be confused and think it is 4.

And on trade talk, Burgoyne to the dorks, mark 'gunshot' Williams to essendon and jay Nash to port.

Just ball and fev to go now.

To land a house hold name like ball will be great for this club.

[The Chazz 4,077]

...Suddenly, Sydney is back in the hunt and the football world is stunned that the Carlton machine with its seemingly endless supply of cold, hard cash which managed to lure to the fold such players as Chris Judd, Robert Warnock and more lately McLean has failed to get its men. Assuming that it really wanted them and wanted a trade to go ahead in the first place...

RIP Richard Pratt.

I agree it will be good to snag Ball. The paper says we have as much chance of getting him as we do of winning the flag next year. Looks like we have him in the bag then....

Iam a little more confident that what the Hun belives.

I can't see st kilda wanting to trade a player like ball to collingwood, who are a top 4 side, and will be challanging st kilda come finals next year.

Having said that, I've been following the dees for too long to get my hopes up on this.

A strong rumour is that Essendon would like to unload Laycock. I think he would suit our short & long term requirements, Your thoughts?

I don't think he would suit our requirements, to put it politely.

Biggest trade non-event

Heffernan + 15 (426) for 10 (Laycock)

[beelzebub 23,348]

we've probably had our fill of Bomber duds !!

[beelzebub 23,348]

stay peeled...something about to let rip it seems ..lol

[beelzebub 23,348]

unconfirmed

Breaking news from Edihad Stadium Luke Ball has ended up at Collingwood for pick 62 and Nathan Brown

[beelzebub 23,348]

ticket tape gone quiet...must be something looming..

[beelzebub 23,348]

Steve Lavell: The Brendan Fevola deal is done. He's heading to the Lions. Lachlan Henderson and pick No.12 to Carlton for Fevola and pick 27.

[mikeod 21]

DEAL DONE: Fevola a Lion.

[titan_uranus 25,000]

I'm surprised, actually. Didn't think the Fev deal would go through. Carlton gets back into the first round as well, plus gets a promising young defender who can also play forward. Well done them.

I guess that just leaves Luke Ball.

The reason they site is that we don't have enough money. We have 500,000 before we hit our minimum TPP. Who writes this garbage?

[beelzebub 23,348]

and some silly people said it was going to be a quiet trade week

always going to go gangbusters...it had to

This is a stupiid suggestion.Why would we do this when we could have got Fevola, We have delisted Robertson, Wheatley & Whelan due to our youth policy and recruiting Bradshaw would be a slap in the face to us all.

Didn't you earlier suggest a spud like Laycock?

[jayceebee31 760]

Yes I did- one is a ruckman at 24 years of age- another a forward at 30 .I think we need a ruckman ,more than a full forward type. This is my opinion - however you are also allowed yours.Furthermore, I think their is quite alot of upside with Laycock. Bradshaw is in his twilight.
