The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Was trying to be rhetorical.

Wrong thread for that ... :blink:

Presumably no banana cake either ... :lol:

That is for the other thread as well.

 

Robbo reporting Heath Shaw has decided to play for GWS at about $700,000 a year for 5 years. Silly money from GWS but they have to spend it on someone.

There goes Clark Kents rumour of either us or Geelong - ended up being GWS. More proof of his rubbish.

Beat me to it!

But hey dont say his rumour is rubbish otherwise you will get crucified by his followers..


I was told tonight that Viv wanted to play under roos so was keen to become a Dee.

If people wanna get some good inside sourced rumour this bloke is the one to listen. I remember he inboxed me telling about the mid year deal we offered to Hogan which he turned down politely before it was reported in the media a month ago.

Keep them coming SMC.

Wouldn't have thought anyone needed confirmation that Clark Kent's rumours were complete rubbish...

If he gets one right it'll be due to pure dumb luck.

My strike rate has been ordinary post Neeld.

 

700k x 5 years. That will sort out Shaws attitude problem...

It's also good to see them erode cap so it knocks a little bit more off the war chest available to them to go after Frawley next year.

And with Adams coming back the other way, that's settled that.

I've said it multiple times over the last few months - Buckley loves Adams and was going to do what it took to get him.

In the end, that dominoes all fell into place fairly simply for that deal to go ahead.

Got to say Ron, I honestly think GWS don't have a cap. The AFL lets them go for whoever they want and funds them to do so. When it comes to the new franchise success, they use Messendon's motto, 'whatever it takes'.

Good point. So let's take it there! :blink:

Duck your head..

If they go over the cap to pay Scully, Davis, Mumford and Heath Shaw I wont complain too much. It's more when they have to pay big bucks to keep their young players in a few years when they are winning that i'll be concerned.

Beat me to it!

how do you know? as of last night it may have been geelong & us?

maybe GWS just decided to up their ante`. or maybe we jumped off?

did the pies come to some HShaw salary sacrifice or something? in order to help lubricate the adams trade?

Or maybe it was out of Geelong, Collingwood and GWS as reported.

They never up the anit.. that deal was reported about 4 weeks ago.

Or maybe it was BS?

Mahoney had said on 2 or 3 occasions Shaw was not high on our radar, something he himself indicated. It was always between Geelong and GWS and that's been proven to be correct. Apparently Essendon were also trying hard to land him but missed out. No mention of us. We were never in it in any way.

so he's just made his call then, on the $$$$$, looked over all the offers in the file & gone westsydney... has to be $$$$$, to go over the Cats, unless the cats withdrew? or unless the pies reached further, so they could win Adams away from the Cats.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
