The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Featured Replies

 

It is very confusing when you mix in a couple of 'captain obvious' statements with some really out-there vague claims. Not even sure what you mean by 'return to their roots'... I get the feeling like you think a global financial collapse will bring down the wicked apparatus that is funding the gays and femonazis, and hence precede a return to traditional values and curmudgeonly older men being at the pinnacle of social status?

Though I confess I am reading to type - that's the usual drift of this particular structure of ranting. Kind of the Australian version of Tea Party Monthly, or the 'I'm not racist but' quarterly.

IMHO Goffy, sometimes the 'ignore' feature on 'land can be an absolute blessing. Would be mildly interesting to see a list of 'landers who have the most ignores set to their posts.

The problem with Jamar is that he has basically no value. If a club wanted Jamar, they have a better, cheaper option out there in Jolly, who is no guarantee of getting a spot on a list next year.

I suspect that we might have questioned clubs about Jamar in hope (though knowing that he won't really garner any interest), seeing as we were/are looking at Jolly.

My suggestion with Jamar was directed at pick #29 which rumour has that GWS does not plan to use. It would be mighty handy to ushowever (Zac Jones?) and i am sure that Jamar would assist in their ruck depth.

 

it looks like essendon sent pick 84 to Geelong for Chappy.

I thought that Geelong were not going to extend his contract? I thought he could go anywhere without having to be traded? I must be wrong.

They did the same in trading Podsi to Adelaide for a late pick!


Trade Frenzy - Saints trade period looking better by the minute.

Yep they've done well, getting Bruce, Delaney and Longer for close to SFA. Brisbane have been absolutely reamed.

I cant see us doing much today. PSd may unveil a smokey

Agree, but delisted FA has significantly diluted the strength of the PSD.

Finey apparent claimed last night that the saints had the best trade period of any club. That might be the case if they can guarantee that their picks in the top 20 all turn out to be quality players. Looking through the names of the last six years in the top 20 indicates there are definitely no guarantees.


its amazing how polar opposite the ST Kilda and Brisbane trade periods have been

Saints now set up for a nice rebuild

Lions in all sorts of trouble

I think Saints strategy solely based on draft success. Its a lottery.

Other gws player ring shopped is supposedly a defender with the surname Bruce.

They have scored themselves a lot of picks but it's going to be a painful year for the saints next year.

The drafting gremlins owe a few other clubs a Cale or two...

The saints may end up in a similar position to us in the next couple of years - too many kids and not enough experience around the 26-27 age.

We didn't have Riewoldt and Jack Steven though.

Talking about that - #1 [censored] Damian Barrett said Norf were the big winners out of the trade/free agency period.

Obviously Finey has no knowledge of how weak this draft is.

I'm surprised at how underwhelmed I am by a lot of the names outside of the top 12.

The Saints are going to flunk this draft class, and I feel sorry for their supporters.

Haha of course he did. They picked up one player didn't they? And received a pick in the 70's for Delaney. great trade period. If he is referring to the Football Department signings then that is a completely different thing.

 

Having said that, it was smart of them to identify the opportunity to get Longer on the cheap, if the eliminated their main opposition by giving them the ruckman they wanted.

Got good value for McEvoy too in the process, but lost years of development.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
