The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Recommended Posts

Sort of like how Melbourne turned Pick 5 into Brock McLean, Brock McLean into Pick 11, Pick 11 into Jordan Gysberts, Jordan Gysberts into Cam Pedersen (with a downgrade inpicks in North's favour), with Pedersen clogging our list for 3 years. Would love to go through other trading and drafting flows and see if any club can top that.

Lol good way of putting it.

if you need it. I had a fairly nasty piece typed up about his family, ready to post yesterday, but didn't like it so listened to myself. I deleted it before posting. something I'm trying to do more often lately.

I feel better for it.

I did exactly the same thing. I too feel better for deleting it.

Would be great if you blokes could stop clogging up the trade news thread with posts about how you deleted other posts. Just sayin.

GWS are getting a player of Shaw's calibre, but at a discount price as Colligwood are paying a portion of his salary the next 2 years.

That makes it a fair bargain for GWS, because going forward they'll have more cap room to bring in another under the same circumstances.

And they run the risk of being like us the last 6 years - lots of talented directionless kids, and few solid veterans to guide them.

funny that, that it was e'd who was complaining about the salary caps of teams like the Swans & GWS, now it seems he's paying them to exist. a beautiful Irony :lol: I think.

On face value, those two trades from Brisbane don't look very good. Unless they know something we don't (e.g. they have a trade lined up for one of those picks for some good player), that's a horrendous way to finish the year.

Three more players to leave, too (Karnezis, Yeo, Longer).

Brisbane are going to be an absolute shambles next season with these trades and the outgoing senior players like Brown and Black.

Another win for us I hope!

Stalin and Chairman Mao come to mind, just off the top of my head...

I haven't read about any of them, I don't like communism, nor dictatorships.

I was talking about my experiences in Australia & with the changes within our Culture, since the advent of credit cards & easily available credit happened.

Homes have turned into investment commodities, & have gone up in price, in particular properties in big cities,, & country communities have had the lifeblood sucked from their lungs.

..... but the reversal has started around 1986, it hasn't hit just yet, but the writings are on the laneway walls.

the people are worse off, as all properties have gone up in cities roughly pro-rata, but are further from reach for first-time homebuyers who can't get that home. thus more division happens of communities.

the attitudes are following the US very rapidly down a dead end street. unemployment is growing throughout the West, whilst Asia grows. but when the West goes down, so will the whole monetary system. bringing Asia down to.

IMO this is when people will return to their roots, players likewise.

there must be a lot of discontent up there, & it must be deep.

sometimes I guess it may be better to let the ones who are over it go their way. to save the pace from getting worse. those who are committed to the club can re-lay the foundations to continue.

I can't imagine they let them all go willy nilly.

Brisbane are likely to end with picks 7, 22 + 34 (Polec), 28 (Yeo), 33 (Docherty) and probably 25 (Longer). Not sure what they can do with them though. I would've thought they could trade some of them in pick down grades for players on one or two year deals.

Moloney must be thinking he is cursed. Left Geelong to Melbourne just before they became a powerhouse on field, dees turn to sh1te then Brisbane look even worse.

Karma ??

Please do us all a favour, exercise a whole lot more self censorship.

Try deleting 9 out of 10 posts, the forum will be better for it.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
