Potential Trades [Warning: Reading this thread may self-destruct]

It's nearly lunchtime and we haven't even gotten the freakin Lamumba deal done.

That's because the Pies are universally accepted as being just behind the Bombers in being absolutely impossible to deal with.

Buckley in the middle of trade week goes to Bali and forces Varcoe and Greenwood to go there to talk to him.They have taken days to decide on Crisp. They obviously haven't got any pens at the Lexus centre to sign documents.

*I would be very funny though if the trade actually happened

Some might think you are funny already.

I dont think its being handed in as a done thing til later this arvo. Might cause some earth moving there after !!

I tips me hat to the Pies though... they want...they get. Thats wrong ?

Red, in reality a, b and c need not be mutually exclusive !!

He might well know the typical questions he will be asked, he s most likely quick of mind and he needn't lie to answer in that fashion. As noted elsewhere if 2 AND 3 arent being used together then his answers are all bone fide

Except that I think Ralphy said to Hungry, that he asked him point blank, are you interested or trading for Kennedy and he said no.

Seems like the Deams thing is finally being sorted out in the next 15-20 min. Hopefully this is the damn trade that needed to be sorted out for the Clark, Lumumba trades to progress.

Really? You're so perceptive

Ralphy SAID that he asked him point blank, but who really knows.

Let's just let this rumour run until 2:01 tomorrow... having fun with the dreams.

What does "apos" mean on twitter, I keep seeing it and don't know what it means?

can you use it in context Redleg?

I thought it was supposed to mean 'A piece of sh*t' or 'Annoying piece of 'Sh*t' but I'd need to see in context

Annoying Piece of S***

half right...

when we draft a kid he is "apos" - a potential superstar.

2 seasons in and he becomes what Carnthedees said

Alternately it can sometimes be a formatting issue in the background of the software, "&APOS" is the coding for an apostrophe.

They've been saying that for like 3 days. Collingwood would just LOVE doing this. Involving 5 other clubs in one trade and being the ones responsible for getting it through or not. MFC and Geelong both wanted to do our own part of the deal separately to avoid this mess, and Colonwood specifically told us not to.

Egotistical maniacs.

Until they get their midfield together at the start of the pre-season and realised they're screwed without Beams

I know... Trade Radio said a meeting of all players in that trade including the MFC are meeting at AFL house @ 11:30... so hopefully something more than the crap they have been saying for 3 days

[SaberFang 7,151]

Beams, Lamumba, Maxwell, McCaffer all out next year, and Swan on his last legs.

Should be an interesting year for the Pies.

[What 18,810]

all 5 teams meeting at 11 30 at AFL house to complete the 5 way trade

Hope we snag a late pick on top of Lumumba to use on Frost

agree... I'd like to think that we have spent some of the time wasted by the pies in this trade trying to squeeze more for Clark out of Geelong... Not confident though.

Unlikely, Balme said last night that we agreed to terms with Geelong last week, so it's essentially always been Clark for their second rounder. The only change that happened when it went to a 3 way trade was Geelong offering Colonwood Varcoe instead of a second rounder.

If they coughed up their third rounder as well and we got the Frost trade across the line today I'd be ecstatic.

Thanks, seems more likely than some of the other answers.

[Felix 92]

How about this.

MFC give up 2 & 3 and receive JPK & Mitchell & 39

Then send Pick 39 to GWs for Frost

Then the Harry O, Varco, Clark deal gets done between the 3 clubs

MFC

In - JPK, Mitchell, Frost & Harry O

Out - 2 & 3

I dont love it, but if MFC want some quality players this is a option.

[Cards13 9,117]

Sorry...
