The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

Lewis Jetta and Gary Rohan to Melbourne for pick 2

you heard it here first

I hope you are joking. Doesn't help us at all , would prefer to keep pick 2 .

[Hannibal 5,814]

Dylan Shiel for pick 2 would be a brilliant result.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,589]

Im liking it. Some positive early signs.

[Deez 298]

The jetta and rohan deal doesn't sound too bad. I would prob prefer an A grader. Heard worse ideas though

Will you be the one to apologise when it doesn't happen first?

[cooko 124]

is he really that good for a straight swap?

I havent seen too much of him, but heard good things

[Red and Blue realist 2,051]

I hope we get a little creative, maybe even jump in with some other trades going on. For example instead of just pick 2 for Shiel, how about we try and work in with Sydney as well. They have to try and work out getting something for Mumford.

Might work like this-

we give pick 2 and 22 (col's compo) and get Shiel (GWS), Smith and pick 31 (Syd).

GWS get pick 2 and Mumford and lose Shiel (us) and pick 20 and 22

Syd lose Mumford and pick 31 and get pick's 20 and 22

Just throwing it out that a little bit of creativity might get us more than just a straight pick for player.

lol @ Essendon trying to play hard ball when all their players are on the verge of ASADA bans

yeah it is a bad idea. Both those players are good but neither address our problem for a need for midfielders than can play in the guts

Sydney lose Mumford, smith and pick 31 for 20 and 22... Not to sure they're that generous

Your right, we should be asking for more. Pretty sure rohan is an all round mid isn't he? Jetta isn't really what we are after, running wingman. We do need in and under mids and some class as well.

[rjay 24,852]

Averaged a combined 16.8 possessions this year, Jetta 11.8, Rohan 5.0. Exactly what we need

Both were coming off injury. Rohan will be an absolute gun when he gets up and running as a mid one of the quickest players in the game, good size and good overhead. Think Dangerfield.

Not saying he would be a good trade but with Parker yep.

Its basically Mumford for 20 and Smith and 31 for 22. It frees up a bit more salary for them and they can hit the draft with 3 picks in the top 22. I think theyd consider it, especially if Smith wants to play more midfield time.

[Demoneyes 562]

No longer want to trade for pick 2, want Nathan Freeman! A gun! Saw some vids of him on the weekend, excatly what we need. Could be ready made like Ollie Wines!

Will GWS have in mid 13ish pick this year as well? or is that just GC I'm thinking of in regards to the Caddy trade.

Haha, yeah they officially "rule him off limits" when no one wants him or will only pay unders.

[beelzebub 23,313]

Must be a very new experience for Messendon to be treated as garbage

Brave new world hey ....get used to it

From the club website:

Makes mention of a couple of Swans players in a package and mentions Nick Smith. Could be worth noting, especially seeing as Chris Pelchan has said Saints aren't trading Pick 3. Could Parker be the other player?

Maybe it's Pick 2 for Smith & Parker?

Why deal with them and make them stonger with a potential champ at pick 2. Thhey already have Buddy etc...

Different Freeman. Is it Groundhog Day?

[old55 23,363]

Thats not the Freeman you're looking for.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,589]

1. we win out of the deal at least as a start of an improve (a rebuild of a rebuild of a...)

2. the stronger they get the more obvious their financial advantage becomes causing an eventual correction by the league and a stronger footing to argue for a more equal footing (as in AFL guaranteeing 100% salary cap payments).
