The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

[the fork 357]

Think it'll be Riewoldt for Collingwoods pick 11. No way they get rid of young good players

Arguably it's what they just did!

I don't know who was talking about it but the thinking behind it if it is true? We have Jamar (going nowhere but I beg to disagree), Gawn, Spenser, Fitzpatrick. Why do we need another ruckman?

For me, Longer is a huge prospect for the future. I would rate him higher than all the tucks we have.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

I know someone with claimed inside knowledge on Longer. I'm not keen on the deal.

[Moonshadow 17,678]

good rumour - source The Weapon?

Or dank?

A fitting surname if ever there was one.

respectfully I don't agree.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

Something going very strangely at the saints. Players aren't happy according to rumours...

[S.R.J 418]

Any chance offering pick 2 for jack Stevens?

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Nice tweet from Andrew Walker:

"My short term memory has never been a strength of mine, can't believe I dont remember having a falling out with mick!! #greatjournalism #"

Further proof of how silly this time of the season can be...

Are there any other demonlanders out there who are concerned that what with 50,000 players out there (slight exaggeration) going left, right and centre from one club to another and the dees HAVE DONE NOTHING. They are like an inert gas!

Not concerned in the slightest. There is still 2 weeks to go and it's not as if there have been that many trades up till now. Confident we will get some deals over the line, just need some patience.

[S.R.J 418]

The trade period is [censored] stupid. Why don't they have free agency for the 1st week then trade period the next 2. Surely this is a waste of time and over indulgence by the AFL.

Theres a perception that because nothing is announced, that we have/are doing nothing.

Still 2 and a bit weeks to go. Lets not suffer from premature disatisfaction.

Inert gas can be pretty powerful stuff. Have you not seen Terminator 2?

[dazzledavey36 55,867]

I recall there was a lot more activity this time last year?

[GrandOld 367]

Would rather wait a week to land an awesome trade than have a heap of [censored] trades like last year

Higher than a nip and tuck?

A fitting surname if ever there was one.

Or [censored], or crank, Or tank (not at melbourne) ............... and ...just for you Moonie SPANK!!

Hope that makes you feel better.

I posted a few days ago on the rumours about St. Kilda being in trouble and, despite the positive spin the Saints have put on their trading of Ben McEvoy, I can't accept that the trade spells anything else but that they're in a bit of strife.

So I'll add another rumour to the mill.

There's another big one to come from St. Kilda in the next few days.

The saints did put something out saying they would be trading and it would be unpopular

Somehow I suspect that McEvoy isn't the only one. Considering they said Montagna won't be leaving and everyone knows about Nicky Dal I suggest it is another of their better players. No way is it Jack Steven though, they still need some decent young established players

Would be a fitting surname or you Bitty

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

Swank fits me better. And skank for you moonie!!

So u know what is going on inside the club do u?

Do u know who our coach is now?

Be patient in Roos we trust.

[DemonOX 8,837]

And that worked out really well!!!

Mr Bitty Spank.... Has a nice ring to it. Suits your avatar too. Gives you an air of sofistomakashun Bitty.

Fools rush in...as they say

Although it sounds like MFC are doing nothing, saying nothing and achieving nothing, I believe this to be far from the truth. I am convinced that they have known for some time what trades they want, who they would trade, and who they are a chance of getting. It is just that the new board, footy dept and coaching panel are running a tight ship with controlled, strategic leaks to this journo, that commentator etc...

All this speculation and rumour on this thread is just cud-chewing for us who remain at a distance. A bit of fun and rumination.
