The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Featured Replies

Quick question, are Dom, Viv and Bernie all left footer?

Vince is a right footer, but the others are left footers.

EDIT. Thanks Ben. I'm a zombie today. Viv is also a right footer.

Vince is one of those weird anomalies - a natural right footer who is arguably better off the left.

I really hope the Cross rumour is true.

Perfect bloke to help teach Tyson, Michie, Toumpas, et al just what's required in terms of professionalism to being the best midfielder you can be.

Cross is hard at it - unwavering in his attack on the ball...not dissimilar to our number 7.

If he's with us, I hope his body holds up and he plays most games.

 

Why ?

because If McKay is open to coming back, it would help to change out a Bail or a Nicholson, or a Dunn.

Or even a trade with a Jetta who is struggling to find his place. he's got more than he's providing. he almost needs a change of scenery to recharge batteries.

IMO another change of the lower register can help all to improve. a Dunn/Bail for McKay, or a Jamar + P57

I think McKay would help with our run & pace at the expence of a Dunn or Bail type. I wonder if Dunn would do better out of Victoria.


Interesting article on the AFL site:

White to Pies a done deal
Sydney Swans big man Jesse White will get his wish of a trade to Collingwood, after the clubs agreed to a three-way trade that also involves West Coast, reports Fairfax Media.
The report says the trade could be made official as early as Monday, with the Magpies to receive White and pick six in the NAB AFL Draft, the Eagles picks 11 and 31, and the Swans pick 44.
I am confused in what does Sydney get? The Eagles are darn keen on using 31 to get Yeo; willing to go from 6 to 11 to get it done.

I think the Swans are refreshing their list, & also letting off some salary cap pressure going forward. that club is changing its down back to duck feathers.

wow, dare i say it we may actually have a fooking midfield now?

fook me fooking dead!

Fouk Arouk, its about time, its about space, its about the pace of the human race. ^_^:wub:

yeah, its the vibe of the thing

 

Can Cross sign now or does it have to be after the trade period? I thought we would have to trade for him if he signed now?


Cross a Dee? Looking likely.

Yep.

Vince is a right footer, but the others are left footers.

Michie is a right footer.

Jamar out (Brisbane or St.Kilda for a pick upgrade) - Jolly in would not surprise me in the least.

It wouldn't surprise me but it wouldn't impress me. Would be no change on field and off field would replace a popular team mate with a guy who can be a bit of a [censored].

I heard that Collingwood are keen on picking up Freeman now that they have #6. This thwarts our aspirations for pick #9. Can anyone update on this?

Who did you "hear" it from ?

Freeman would be a 'good get' with pick 9, but there are a number of 'good gets' in what seems to be a very even first 10 or 12 picks.

Like Mahoney said on Friday...there's a few players that we were looking at for pick 2 and our recruiting team are confidant that there'll be one at pick 9.

If it's Freeman, then good. If it's Lenon, Crouch, Kolo, Taylor....then good.

If other people are like me and don't really watch any under age footy...but then start to like the sound of Freeman purely based on other uneducated footy people like me saying that Freeman's a jet, then it's the blind leading the blind.

If Viney and Taylor think one of there preferred picks will be there at 9...then relax and enjoy the ride. Don't stress about maybe loosing Freeman.

Vince is a right footer, but the others are left footers.

Technically this is right, but my Crows mates say Vince is equally good either foot. There is a great clip of him moving through traffic on the 50 meter line, dodges onto his right foot then baulks, then slots a 50m goal through using his loeft boot on a 45 degree angle.

Will be great to see Vince, Viney, Michie, and Tyson feeding our forwards on those lovely low long accurate passes lefties seem so expert at (a la Hawks)

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering why you were keen. There are a lot of Adelaide mids I like. He's not one of them. A case of style over substance IMHO.

I doubt anyone is going to take Dunn or Bail no matter how you dress the deal up. Happy to be proven wrong though.

Why bring religion into football?

Michie is a right footer.

He is too. Derps.

Michie is a right footer.

And looking at the footage posted on the Viv thread he goes to some lengths not to kick on his left

 

For that matter, Cross is equally adept on either side of the body. So much so, I "think" he's a right footer, but can never be sure.

Lennon more suited to our needs in my opinion, and i think he will be there at 9

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
