The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

[Weekends at Bernie's 64]

Luke Shuey and a player for Pick 2 is what I'm hearing.

Source is going to give us a buzz in about 10mins and fill me in with all that he knows. Will post here straight away.

I'd take that in a heartbeat if that eventuates. I'd like WCE to throw in Matt Rosa aswell. Shuey barracked for us as a kid. Wants to comeback to Melbourne.

Get excited people. The kid is a gun.

Sylvia gone aswell.

I like how you say get excited and add on the end Sylvia is gone.lol

It's obviously not gonna be there 1st pick(6) so I presume it will be a mid 20's pick

facts not guesses? Or guesses not facts?

[S.R.J 418]

I hope Sylvia does go. Yes he has been here for a crap 10yrs but in that time he is the type of player that plays like melbourne....laconic, no gut run, no second efforts, form up and down like a bloody yoyo. Good luck to him wherever he lands

[demoniac 1,330]

Sometimes I miss Yze Magic...

[Yossarian 1,820]

Either way, appreciate the decent rumours.

[Adam The God 30,126]

Just read this on the "Good Call / Bad Call" Facebook Page..

GWS have offered Nic Nat $8 million over 6 years in exchange for pick 1, Jon Patton and Rhys Palmer. WCE believed to have agreed.

That would be a massive win for West Coast. An injury prone former #1 draft pick, a middle of the road midfielder & Tom Boyd. Meanwhile, GWS would be getting a marketing tool, but an injury prone inconsistent player, who rarely plays four quarters. Not surprised it's come from Facebook.

Yes that may be the case but under ROOS he may(just may)turn into the player we have all been waiting for all these years.

The reality is if we want to build a decent midfield next year we can't afford to lose players like Sylvia who are seasoned hardened bodies

Well come on its already been 10 minutes!

[markc 975]

you can tell we all get excited over the draft / trade period around here !

IF we do, we have to replace those hard bodies with others.

[Weekends at Bernie's 64]

Yer well it's easier said than done, Who knows if where going to land a Cross etc. We may only land 1 or 2 ready to play Mids through trade and free agency so I'd rather be adding too than replacing

Some of us sad supporters are waiting up to hear, mind fast tracking the conversation?

This is what I have been told.

We are in the boxseat to get Luke Shuey. He wants to come back to Victoria and would happily come to Melbourne as he barracked for us as a kid and is good mates with Jack Viney.

Essendon are circling though and might offer a Carlise and Colyer to get Shuey to the Bombers.

Jeremy Laidler will most likely be a Demon next year aswell. We have shown the most interest.

Janesch to Melbourne is more than likely as he wants to return to Victoria.

Daniel Cross is 95% over the line but Carlton have had chats with him.

Liam Patrick will be picked up with a late pick in the draft or free agent (not sure on status)

This one surprised me when my mate told me but we have spoken with Richmond's Aaron Edwards. Not sure how he would fit in our forward line to be honest.

Sylvia will be at Freo next year. Lock that in. 2 year deal. Thanks for the service Colin.

We have spoken with David McKay from Adelaide but he had no interest in playing for Melbourne, so it was a brief chat.

Also mentioned we had Geoff Welsh nearly sewn up as Football Manager, but changed his mind at the last minute and will most likely take a year off and join North or GWS.

In other team news:

With North possibly missing out on Dal Santo and Betts, they are very interested in Jed Lamb and Everitt. Harper is on the table aswell.

Rockcliff could be at Essendon or Carlton next year. Manager was reportedly seen at Visy Park yesterday.

Dale Thomas will be a Hawk but Carlton still haven't given up hope.

North in the boxseat to get Polkinghorne from Brisbane. Leigh Adams possibly in the trade.

Taylor Adams to Collingwood. Lock it in.

Eilliot Yeo from Brisbane will most likely be involved in a straight swap for Shane Savage.

Pods will be most likely at Carlton next year.

Matt Rosa will either stay at West Coast or move to Fremantle.

Adelaide has had enough of Bernie Vince and will trade him back to WA or delist him if no one is interested. He is not interested in coming to Melbourne though.

Eddie Betts to the Crows but North still a slim 5% chance.

Richmond are heavily linked to Shaun Hampson.

Q-Stick is linked with GWS.

Josh Hunt/ Richard Tambling could be at North Melbourne next year.

Didak to Carlton.

Liam Anthony to Gold Coast.

Levi Greenwood to Adelaide.

Take what you will from this but just passing on what I have heard from my mate. Normally spot on the money but things change every hour in football.

Eg. Told me Essendon withdrew a 3 year deal to Chappy and are going to make big plays at Shuey/ Rockcliff.

[demoniac 1,330]

There are Dees fans in Toowoomba!

Sorry mate. Was alot to type up.

I'll try my best to keep you all updated when I hear new information.

Carn the Dees. Bring on 2014.

Now your just being stupid.. most of what you just mentioned have been reported on those stupid facebook page haha is your mate an admin there?

[demoniac 1,330]

Hmm a few state of origin errors... I call Yze Magic!

[Mr Clark Kent 75]

Now your just being stupid.. most of what you just mentioned have been reported on those stupid facebook page haha is your mate an admin there?

Apart from the Daniel Cross rumour that was in The Age.

I haven't seen Janesch, Patrick, Edwards, Shuey or Laidler been mentioned at the Dees anywhere.

My main focus is on the Dees.

He gave me a rundown on other teams and I thought fellow Demonlanders on here might appreciate it.

Again. Take it at what you will. I'm just passing on what I have heard.

To answer your question. His not an admin, he doesn't even have Facebook haha

We are in the boxseat to get Luke Shuey. He wants to come back to Victoria and would happily come to Melbourne as he barracked for us as a kid and is good mates with Jack Viney.

I know for a fact Shuey is happy in Perth and feels he owes a lot to Meth Coast who helped him through the tragic death of his sister and his first couple of injury ravaged years. He will only leave if Meth Coast decide it is in the best interests of their club

Essendon are circling though and might offer a Carlise and Colyer to get Shuey to the Bombers.

Jeremy Laidler will most likely be a Demon next year aswell. We have shown the most interest.

Sylvia will be at Freo next year. Lock that in. 2 year deal. Thanks for the service Colin. They have spoken to him but undecided, Chapman may be another chance for a flag tilt

Eilliot Yeo from Brisbane will most likely be involved in a straight swap for Shane Savage. He wants to come back to WA and word is almost done deal with Meth Coast

Pods will be most likely at Carlton next year.

Matt Rosa will either stay at West Coast or move to Fremantle. He is almost done does well in WAFL but injuries have caught up with him.

Adelaide has had enough of Bernie Vince and will trade him back to WA or delist him if no one is interested. He is not interested in coming to Melbourne though.

Eddie Betts to the Crows but North still a slim 5% chance.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,801]

As a half back flanker!

Yep, but he's still reaching that ripe age and games level where he should start to reach his peak. He's got a great body for AFL (no homo) and is a good player already, with the potential to be great.

Plus I think more midfield time (+ more cash and closer to his bro) would appeal and help our case.

Aish I'm sure has great wraps on and could become a great mid down the track.. but he may not. He may become another Cotchin or he may become another Morton. We don't know. I'd prefer the low-risk Swallow.

[rjay 24,870]

Yes that may be the case but under ROOS he may(just may)turn into the player we have all been waiting for all these years.

The reality is if we want to build a decent midfield next year we can't afford to lose players like Sylvia who are seasoned hardened bodies

Silvia will never be the player supporters have been waiting for, he is just not quite good enough. It's really that simple. He has the physical attributes but lacks in other qualities such as awareness, decision making and football sense. These are the things that have held him back.

I know Essendon have had some problem with possible substance abuse but no one in their right mind would have offered 'Chappy' a 3 year deal. It did not happen.

I have just moved to Melbourne for work and family. Getting my first membership soon. Can't wait

Fair enough if that's your opinion. However I believe he has showed on numerous occasions he is good enough, he has single handly won us games off his own boot, he's a powerful midfielder who kicks goals(I don't expect him to be a Judd or cotchin), his problem is he never has any fluency in his game because he will do something stupid and get suspended and sit on the sidelines when he's in form(therefore is never consistent). I think Roos will teach him what is required to become an elite midfielder and how fit u have to be to run hard two ways not just one. MFC cannot afford to lose Colin Sylvia IMO
