AFL Draft, Trade, Free Agency, List and General News

Options for this story

Tom Petrono has also said that Col Sylvia has just gotten back from his holiday, and will meet with new coach Paul Roos this week and hopeful come to a new agreement to stay at Melbourne.

Sylvia, a free agent - has attracted interest from several clubs, including Brisbane, Carlton, North Melbourne and Essendon.

Anyone interested in a swap - R.Henderson (Adl) for our pick 36?

[Moonshadow 17,676]

I posted this elsewhere but will bring it into this proper thread. I'm proposing we trade Clark to freo. They need another big forward for a flag. In return could we entice a quality midfielder from them. Naturally I'd love fyfe hill or Mundy but would you settle on Barlow and their first round pick 17 or whatever it is. I think we will develop a great forward line even without Clark and he might not ever come up so well again. Surely roosy could pull off a good trade with his mate Lyon for the good of both teams. Be daring

That's not a bad suggestion HR. Won't be popular with many here. Perhaps a better a better option in 12 mths time because we'll get a good look at Hogan in the big time and also see if Clark can get on the ground consistently enough. Clark to Freo for Hill or Barlow and a swap of picks might work. Article in today's little paper Age talks about Freo's lack of attacking options:

Just wondering do AFL clubs meet today and discuss potential trades etc?

Interestingly- Reasoning for Coll wanting pick 2 is GWS set to over look Tom Boyd as they all but have Franklin over the line.

Quote "News emerging overnight on the trade front via fox footy.

Collingwood are set to do one of two things;

Trade Heath Shaw to Melbourne, along with their first pick, No 10 to the Dees in return for Melbourne's pick 2 - which Collingwood would be very confident in attaining Tom Boyd at pick 2, with the Giants set to overlook the gun forward with Buddy all but in his way. "

If its true, youd think we could get a much better deal from a WB, ST K, Carlton etc.

the question is when did collingwood get pick 10 ?

Madness, I say. Boyd is worth far more than H Shaw and pick 10. And I would have thought that if GWS have Buddy, they could do a lot better by trading pick 1 to Coll (eg Swan), St K, WB or Carl rather than drafting a young kid.

You can tell the season is over when the "real" journalists to on holidays, and you have clowns like Jay Clark trying to convince us that the dees are offering pick 2 for Heath Shaw.

Sure thing Jay.

Is that after we secure Jake King with Nathan Jones?

Did you mention once that you went to school with Clark?

Seriously, anyone who thinks that we are about to trade pick 2 for a 28yo with issues with pick 10 thrown back is on drugs. Where is the benefit of that? Pick 2 is there for us to secure quality. Shaw being 28 with issues is worth a 3rd or 4th round pick, and if we trade for Shaw we will use an appropriate pick.

Interesting commentary about GWS. With Buddy, Boyd could well become pick 2. If this is the case we should take Boyd and trade Clark to Freo as previously suggested or keep Clark and trade Boyd to Freo. We should be able to get two A Grade Mids, one young, one old for Boyd.

Not sure GWS will give up Boyd if as rumoured Doggies offer pick 4 to GWS for Patton

Pity is, that trades occur before the draft, meaning there will be no way to assure that GWS will pass up Boyd. Considering how much more value he holds than the likes of Aish, I can't see clubs taking the risk.

Also, good luck convincing Freo to give up two premium midfielders for an 18 year old KPP right in the middle of their premiership window.

Your timing is wrong - trading has finished before the draft. Conversely, Boyd is the hottest property in the draft - if what you suggested was possible you dont think that GWS would do exactly as you suggested ?

Slow news day. BS rumours make good space fill.

[rjay 25,063]

There is no way known GWS would not pick up Boyd with pick one or trade that pick unless Dustin left some of the good stuff for them.

If we trade,pick 2 for Heath Shaw and pick 10 that's just about it for me. Having said that, not even we are that stupid.

Unless it's changed it's all week, they were talking about shortening it to 3-4 days because clubs would be locked in a stalemate on a trade and sometimes a trade could be holding up other potential trades sometimes leaving players in limbo.

I thought the key to Roos recycling players was he was getting them on the cheap.
