The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

[Scipio 5,868]

Hate it, D.

I was waiting for that, knew there was someone who hates that phrase haha.

You can tell the season is over when the "real" journalists to on holidays, and you have clowns like Jay Clark trying to convince us that the dees are offering pick 2 for Heath Shaw.

Sure thing Jay.

Is that after we secure Jake King with Nathan Jones?

Heath shaw who the pies don't want plus pick 10 for pick 2 when we want mids.

Smacks to me the pies can't get Adams over the line on a trade.

Jay Clark thinks we could give up pick 2 for Heath Shaw & Collingwood's pick 10.

I don't like the idea of giving up pick 2 for a 28 year old who doesn't actually play as a midfielder.

[Machsy 2,856]

Smacks to me of Jay Clark making up trade scenarios because nobody who is anybody in a football club would give him the time of day.

More of a bottom feeder than Barrett.

[dazzledavey36 48,706]

I only have to remind myself of Jay Clark putting on twitter thag Angus Monfries had signed a four year deal with us..

So i hope this rumour is also trash.

I posted this elsewhere but will bring it into this proper thread. I'm proposing we trade Clark to freo. They need another big forward for a flag. In return could we entice a quality midfielder from them. Naturally I'd love fyfe hill or Mundy but would you settle on Barlow and their first round pick 17 or whatever it is. I think we will develop a great forward line even without Clark and he might not ever come up so well again. Surely roosy could pull off a good trade with his mate Lyon for the good of both teams. Be daring

Couple of observations.

the last thing gws and GC want or need is more draft picks. We will struggle to get either swallow or Adams with pick 2.

I wonder if dusty might take a smaller offer now the hype has died down?

most clubs now realize that the game is won or lost in the midfield so will hang on to their best mids.

the main thing we have in numbers is key position players.

[BAMF 3,787]

Jay Clark has made that up.

We have enquired about Shaw and we have pick 2.

That's enough information to make his article plausible.in his eyes anyway.

[stuie 7,374]

1 retired due to injury, 1 delisted. But don't let the truth get in the way and all that...

Yes that injury looked career ending when he was dancing on the footy show... Let's say "polite push" instead of delistment for him then

Clark has more potential value than current trade value. His injuries mean his current value to trade is quite low, but his potential for us if he gets over it is high.

Don't trade him, won't be worth it.

[rpfc 27,432]

Shaw and 10 for 2...

It's not good, it is the kind of thing that we will be told over and over again is fair though.

If Shaw gets 4 years it will be his last contract.

It's not how you build a list. And that is why I don't think it is on the cards.

I can see Roos giving up 2 for a couple of fringe mids who are young. Shaw is neither.

The idea of pick 2 for Shaw and pick 10 was more of an after thought in the article really. The main part was that GWS want Shaw and have someone like Taylor Adams to get it done. Pies would win big time out of that trade and later picks in the draft might be involved but GWS seem keen to add some experience to their list and someone like Shaw fits the bill.

[demoniac 1,243]

Trading Pick 2 for a 28 year old half back who is undeniably talented but has repeatedly demonstrated an inability to control his temper on field with both team mates and opponents AND has a few off field incidents on his resume? Computer says no. Eddie will be desperate to get a good deal for Shaw to quiet the Maggies fans wondering just what his man Bucks is doing to their club but that does not mean we have to be the dummy who gives it to him.

WE NEED QUALITY BALL WINNING MIDS.

Just check out Jay Clarks player ratings for the GF and you will understand that he doesn't have a clue about the game.

Jack Grimes moving to the back flank means we wont need Shaw at all

I'd happily do this if it was Jay Clark we were trading to Freo. I'd also take a bag of feces in exchange, we'd be getting the better end of that deal.

And why do 1000's of single and available Asian women keep on wanting to chat to me via Demonland? Or your more mature fatties?

Just wondering.

Not sure - but I see Hyundai Ad because I've been searching for a new car.

As much as I love Grimes endeavour, Shaw is miles ahead in terms of ball use, awareness and pace. Having said that I would be astounded if pick 2 was used to aquire his services.

It's very difficult to judge the two players when you consider the differences in structure and overall team quality,

When Jack Grimes was drafted it was noted that he was a beautiful kick of the football, perhaps he looks like he has bad skills because the team is constantly under pressure and no one up the ground provides a decent option?

having said that Heath Shaw has been playing that role for a lot longer and is widely respected as being very good at it so he would still be a better player in my view.

can't see us offering pick 2 for Shaw and a pick, Roosy isn't that silly.

and Collingwood don't have pick 10 unless they trade for it, that's the part of the news report that tells me it's crap, they have pick 12 and potentially pick 13-15 if Dale Thomas leaves and they don't pick up a free agent.

Anyone know what time Trade Radio starts?

Just tuned in... All i can hear is music though

[Dwight Schrute 16,749]

Read somewhere yesterday Adelaide were talking about offering Bernie Vince and David Mackay for pick 2 because they didn't want to part with Rory Sloane or Brad Crouch and that's what we were demanding in return.

not sure if there is any truth to this, but if there was i'd keep pushing for Sloane, they wanted Aish enough to enquire in the first place and would have known it wouldn't come cheap.
