The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

[Ouch! 2,034]

He also said he wouldn't have taken the Tigers job if he knew their financial position. Yet after his contract finished they were in a worse place financially.

No doubt their recruiting was rubbish. They reportedly recruited Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls without seeing him play and took a long time to realise he was dyslexic. But there development was just as bad. All 5 they picked showed talent at one stage but never kicked on.

Well one did.

Delidio was their first pick, but the other 4 were fails

Mahoney up soon on trade radio.

what did he say?

[Ouch! 2,034]

what did he say?

Can't give the full thing (as I was on hold on a phone call)

But he mentioned something about expecting the player that they would have chosen at 2, should still be there at pick 9. Which interested people... Means that the MFC have not had their eye on Kelly, Aish or Scharenberg, but the Freeman, Crouch type of players...

[Clark_Kent 315]

If they had got Deledio wrong then they truly would be the worst recruiting period in history. Now it's a toss up between us and them. Though I am now very comfortable with the people we have working for us at the minute.

Tambling, Meyer, Pattinson, Polo. First 2 ended up at Adelaide and Port. Tambling had something if brought along the right way, same with Meyer. Pattinson was big lumbering type who was a bust for sure. Polo had the talent to make it, starred on debut. Pretty ugly draft outside the top 5. If they got the Tambling (Franklin or Jordan Lewis) pick right no one would care about the other 3 mugs.

Mahoney on SEN right now

[DeeSpencer 23,106]

what did he say?

Wanted a young player with experience, midfielder and to get back into drafts top 10 and got that.

Have a few names on the list for pick 2 draft wise and expect 1 or 2 to be there at 9

Bernie Vince will be ours if the Sylvia compo pick can satisfy Adelaide (without explicitly saying that)

Thinks Dom Tyson is a good player and is tall (being a bit facetious but you get the point).

Mahoney on SEN.

• First option find a midfielder and stay in the top 10.
• Frustrating due to taking time with what deals will come forward.
• Met with Tyson Wedsneday and put a forward to him on Thursday then decided to come today.
• Highly rated tall midfielder, AFL career stop start due to injury, massive upside and a tall midfielder to compliment our small midfielders.
• sees a 10 year midfielder in him.
• could have a deal straight away once we find out with our compensation pick.
• will get on the phone straight away to Adelaide was the compo pick comes out.
• Vince will fill the void for Sylvia, big time player who fill a needs, Vince excited the club and we excited him.

Ox gave this a 7/10 in his rating for getting Tyson.

Luke Dunstan maybe?

Mahoney said the clubs find out the compensation picks at 5pm

[dee-luded 2,958]

A few years in the system as well.

Now we just need to slip something in GWS's recruiter's drinks and then sell them the merits of a Dunn v Shiel straight swap...

you've got them licking their lips in unison, already.

[pantaloons 2,018]

Barrett now saying compensation picks could be as late as 6pm. A good old fashioned LOL at the AFL's professionalism.

What is that???

Seriously why would it need to be pushed back? The AFL have known for a long time who the FA are and the contract situations, no reason for it to be delayed. Poor form AFL.

So as I understand it the trade period has ended.

If so is there an overall summary anywhere? link?

I know Tyson is a good player, but what is it with us picking up guys who have missed, literally, whole seasons with injury?

Michie and Tyson sound great on paper, but won't be if they do a Dawes and play about 4 games each next year...

Just sayin.

Tyson did a PCL didn't he? Not really a long-term concern.

Not at all a long term concern, or a short one. He's fit and ready for preseason it seems. Due diligence will have been done on these guys, and they will both start with a clean slate injury wise. But, to state the obvious, anybody can get injured at any time, and I can just hear the demonland squeals next year if either goes down, albeit with unrelated injuries.
