The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

[Mr Clark Kent 75]

Spoke to a mate.

Apparently Andrew Walker had a massive argument with Mick Malthouse and wants out.

Roos rates him very highly.

Suggested trade is pick 2 for Walker + Pick 13

Implausible.

[beelzebub 22,349]

whoever is traded for #2 will need to play for 8-10 seasons..

Pls keep this in mind when posting. Might add some credibility....just saying

This is a RUMOUR thread.

The purpose of this thread is for rumours.

I posted a rumour I heard, I will continue to post rumours I have heard in this thread dedicated to rumours.

We are all Melbourne supporters here. If you don't like rumours and only facts, then don't post in this thread.

I fear though Hogan may be another Scott Thompson ie will want to go home after 2 years. The dockers after all have an urgent need for a key forward post Pav. It might make some sense to use that to get the structure we need.

As much as I would adore Hogan to be our Wayne Carey ( which I suspect he is well and truly capable of), we may not be seeing the longer term view here. The forward line is not our major problem, with the possible exception of a quick crumbling type ( a la Betts), but quality mids are.

We need urgently to assess where hogan is at, and this is extremely difficult to do since he has not yet played a game and will be with us for at least the next two years. Over that time, I think we will get our act together re the mid field and we may find ourselves top 4 in two year's time ( yes you heard it here first folks). In those circumstances, hogan might develop a high incentive to stay, in which case our problem disappears.But if we don't, then it may make huge sense to trade him in the next 18 months.

I'd be willing to bet we wont be top 4 within 2 years. It's very hard to make top 4 these days from outside the 8 the year previous and we aren't close to making the 8 next year.

There's no need to panic about where Hogan is yet. At least wait until this time next year when he's got a year left on his deal but he also has played some AFL on the G under Paul Roos. At that time I think his manager and he will be much more willing to renegotiate a contract extension. They just don't have any negotiating power off VFL performances with 2 years remaining on the deal.

The great hope for us is the Freo either win the flag next year or Pav breaks down and retires and they have to replace him next year whilst Hogan still has a year to run on his contract. West Coast are nicely set with Kennedy and Darling for at least the next few years.

But the best bargaining tool we can get is winning and mate ship. We start winning and Hogan is still mates with Viney and Toumpas then he wont go anywhere.

Just check that they are some what reasonable first is all we ask. Posting stuff that's pretty rubbish is wasting all our time

Look - like he said - it's a rumour and that's what this is all about - if you're taking all that stuff too seriously you need to re-think..

You posted "Savage chooses Carlton" yesterday and later confirmed you got it from Facebook - hypocrite - that's twice you've done that - called people "flogs" for posting Facebook rumours and done exactly the same yourself.

You're vying with hogans_heroes and demoneyes for Most Annoying this trade period.

Theres a big difference between rumours and absolute rubbish.

This is absolute rubbish and you should know that as walker DOES NOT fit the caliber of a 8 year play for pick 2. Walker is not a midfielder. But you keep living on the fantasies 50

The facebook rumour was straight from the AFL website which reported it aswell.

Funny how that Facebook page I put up inboxed me when I asked a trade question that he was a Melbourne supporter and posts on Demonland aswell.

You do the maths.

In your humble opinion.

How did your "Savage chooses Carlton" pan out?

I've done the maths and your self rating >>> than your actual rating.

Lots of chatter about Andrew Walker leaving Carlton. Believe it started with Bigfooty and now this on AFL trade updates (it's source is twitter):

Solid Mail Malthouse and Andrew Walker have fallen out and will be traded to Dees for pick 2 #TradeDebate @barrettdamian @TripleMRushHour

Very much a grain of salt rumour at this stage.

[pantaloons 2,019]

Tell their story Walkin.

If they've fallen out can Walker head straight into the PSD or is he contracted?

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,078]

Please don't make that true.

[nutbean 8,837]

I like Walker and we need everyone ! but it is not specifically our greatest need...

[DemonWA 3,536]

If it is true, then at least he accumilates the footy on the HBF!

[TheoX 1,218]

He's not a mid. He's 27. Joke of a rumour.

[nutbean 8,837]

Number two must first and foremost be for someone accomplished in the centre square - i think it is that simple.

[Mickey 4,198]

Pick 2 in the PSD, maybe...
