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: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
