The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill - 2014


Chelly

Recommended Posts

After reading the comings and goings on the Paddy Dangerfield thread I realise that we're missing something.

This thread is for off beat trade and draft rumours, not the ones that have been endorsed as possible by members of the journalistic profession but by normal, everyday people, like the local barber or your cousin from Ballarat.

You know, really authoritative stuff from posters like Nudge and Chilliboy who are right there at the coal face.

Anyone like to kick things off?

This is how Nudge and Chilliboy would do it -

Here's what I've heard, and make of it what you will...

Sensational news from Visy Park where Carlton is believed to be prepared to trade Bryce Gibbs who has had a falling out with the club. My information comes from the Blues' bootstudder who sat next to me on the train home last night. The club's new CEO is fielding an offer for from Melbourne which is prepared to offload three former top 20 draft picks in Sam Blease, James Strauss and Luke Tapscott who have all asked for a trade and a fourth rounder to seal the deal.

The Demons have also enquired with the Hawks about the possibility of bringing utility Kyle Cheney back to the fold in exchange for small forward Shannon Byrnes who this week announced he has reconsidered the decision he made earlier this season to retire. Hawthorn is looking for insurance to cover for injury prone Cyril Rioli in the event that his hamstring issues continue to bubble over into 2015.

I think your tugging it there a bit WJ but will certainly get the discussion going!

Can anyone tell me where I can see who has 12 months left on contract at the Dees. This isn't so much rumour but I have been told that those that don't sign extension before trade period (ie: the required players) will be traded.

:blink: :blink: :blink: ........ noooooooooooo...... surely not.

Was this guy pulling your leg?

Anyway thanks for sharing Jack, I certainly hope your proposed Gibbs rumour warrants some truth - I along with every demonlander would do that deal in a heartbeat.

Obviously you weren't around when Nudge was posting about 20 different trade possibilities a day.

Still, he didn't even measure up to the lofty standards of Chilliboy...............by god those were the days! #Demonland of old # where are they now?

Hahahaa... I didn't believe it, I just didn't want to come across as a smart a**.

Yes I was, although I didn't see him under the alias as Chilliboy, I came a little later when he was under Nudge. I believe they were his last two trade periods being 2011 & 2012.

Three crap players for a guy that can play (soft as butter on a summer's day, but can play).

That's the dream every October - maybe without the soft bit.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
