The Annual Circus has begun

Featured Replies

Posted

It's on again.

The annual trades and rumours circus that has players moving here there and everywhere.

Up until now most of the rumours have involved the Gold Coast Suns and a couple of them have turned to fact - Bock and Krakouer.

But now we have a Michael Rischitelli thread about how he wants to leave Brisbane at the end of the year and come to a Melbourne based club. There's even a rumour that he would like to go to Melbourne because it is going to be a good club in a few years.

The thing is that Melbourne's priority is the need to find a key tall forward.

Why not make a call to David Cloke who happens to manage Travis Cloke and who closed off negotiations with the Pies a while ago?

If nothing else it would save Travis from having to front up to James Frawley every Queens Birthday over the next half dozen years. At worst it could start off another good rumour.

 

I would rather stick my [censored] in a toaster than support Travis Cloke. The guy has to be the worst shot on goal in the AFL.

Toasted [censored]! Would that be a variation on Spotted [censored]?

 

I'd call it the SILLY season

I love this time of year.

Just remember kids, crap player + crap player + pick 20-30 = superstar! After all he (supposedly) supported us as a kid even though he has bled (insert club colours here) for the past (insert number here) years!

I heard it from (insert relative/media/schoolfriend)! Done deal!

Just wait for Dee_tention to make his appearance. Goes into hibernation from December through to September, but once the season ends, he awakens from his slumber to present us thousands of ridiculous trade suggestions.

Not-surprisingly coincides with school holidays...

Well it is rather cold at present, can always do with a little chili..

Am logged on by the phone but perhaps it's time to unlock the drafting/trading board if it hasn't already been done?

I was about to say the exact same thing. We'll know the silly season has really started as soon as we start seeing threads from Dee_tention about how we should trade Daniel Bell instead of delisting him, to the Gold Coast for pick 4, and in turn use pick 4 to acquire a speculative 7 foot ruckman projected to go late in the draft.

My prediction for deetention's first trade... uh... prediction:

North gets: Meesen, Miller and our 2nd round pick.

Eagles get: Newton, our 1st and 3rd round pick.

We get: pick 4 and Majak Daw.

This post looks like a joke, but just you wait...

I've heard the Gold Coast Suns want to get involved in this deal, there desperate to get Miller, offering us pick 5 because he kicked 10 goals against them in the VFL and increased his value!!!! :wacko::huh:

PS Wonder if we could get Collingwood in on the deal just for the hell of it.

Apologies in advance for being boring and sensible, but I would be pretty pleased if we didn't even attend Trade Week. 2011 is not our Top 4/Premiership contender year and no single player we could conceiveably pick up in a trade can change that. Equally, I don't believe we have any expendable players of sufficient quality to attract a high draft pick. I believe we should top up our list with a couple of draft picks and a fresh rookie list then let the kids show us how our list is really shaping. Once we're a finals team, then we can look to fill any gaps via trade.

But there are dozens of players we could inconceivably pick up in a trade that could fast-track our progression.


So who can we slough off to Carltank for a first-round pick this time?

Haha. Won't be long now.

Slightly off topic...then again not really..

Was anyone surprised at all to here Mark McVeigh got a new 2 year contract with Essendone recently ? I heard it yesterday morning and pretty much had latte come through my nostrils after having taken a sip on hearing it. Yeah, it wasn't pleasant. But, you could say I was wrapped for the Bombers...

Haha. Won't be long now.

The Bombers are seriously imploding, just listen to SEN for 10 minutes. It's totally Fantastic, i am loving every millisecond, particularly as Hardwick is doing well at Punt Road!!!!

Matty warnock for lachy hanson


Matty warnock for lachy hanson

I heard on SEN Warnock + a pick for KOZI. Win Win for both, Slightly bias though.

Fair trade: Knights & all of Essendons draft picks + Hurley to the Tiges for Hardwick + King.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
