The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

[beelzebub 23,200]

How could it possibly be band 4 unless all guidelines are ignored as with the PP.

just answered your own question

Was trying to be rhetorical.

[Machsy 2,858]

That's the problem....two of the same?

Having said that Byrnes has impacted in 2013 more than Jetta for their respective clubs.

Also, the rumour's left field as how can we swap for a pick? Essendon are out of this draft....

What the hell are you talking about??

[old55 22,842]

That's rubbish, they won't even use a fifth round pick.

right now our 5th rounder would be essendons 3rd live pick

But they won't use it just for the sake of it, the likelihood of them picking up a player who'll make an impact that late is next to none.

they have to use 3 picks - its likely theyll trade for earlier ones but its not the crazy option you make out

[Machsy 2,858]

They'd have to upgrade a rookie then, no?

Minimum 3 list changes?

I don't think that includes FA.

sorry...tis monday...havent had 3rd coffee yet , my bad

you would think both Crows and Messendon to be keen to do ' reasonable ' trades to get in. Like us they'll have to pay overs somewhat to get back into the game. Tis was it is !!

[Demoneyes 562]

As I understand it, Essendon can still trade for higher picks... they just lose their allocated picks.

Yes, that is the case. Should make them easier to deal with you would think? Doesn't seem that way though!

We hold all of the cards in this situation... as I said in another post, if they are getting desperate towards the end of the trade period, then they will offer as much as it takes (so we should stand firm)... however, with the state of play re infraction notices, I doubt we would be game enough to gamble on taking what they might offer.

[Demon_Tingles 211]

I am over this pick 2 debate. I honestly think we get some afl experienced mids with our sylvia compo and later picks or psd and just use pick 2 on the best kid in the draft. That way we get some top up experience with later picks and psd but we also get a ready made midfielder who can play 8-10 years. So keep pick 2 and use later picks on afl players and after next season if we are more successful than previous ones suss out free agency. No use trading pick 2 this year as all the good players are staying put now.

[beelzebub 23,200]

Either GWS buckles...or we get a newby..

and we move on

Funniest post for a while, still chuckling.

What the hell are you talking about??

Not sure.

What the hell are you talking about in relation to what the hell I'm talking about?

I didn't know that Esseden could trade for higher picks.

Hey Machsy (if that's your real name!)....have a lie down.

[Machsy 2,858]

I know exactly what I'm talking about.

You clearly don't.

Essendon just had their 1st & 2nd round picks taken off them.

That's it.

I'm not the one trying to tell people otherwise.

Surely the first question asked of any player from Messendon that wanted to be traded would be "Did you participate in the vitamin injection program?" You'd even go down the path of stat decs etc to protect yourselves. Or are we not allowed to ask because it is a breach of confidentiality?

Just some bloke texting in a rumour

Just some bloke texting in a rumour

probably the same bloke that floated it on the trade-talk...blog. A fanciful imagination I think

[Demoneyes 562]

I like this one! From trade talk: Adelaide doing the deal for Melbourne Pick 2. They have thrown in Vince, McKernan, two used chewies, a pack of playing cards and one left foot thong.
