Trade Talk on Radio

Saints, just stick to the rebuild and do it properly. Just about the only teams interested would be GWS and the Bulldogs for vastly different reasons.

They are due to do something foolish. It was a long time between drinks for them when the Scotty Watters fiasco hit but things are returning to script as we speak. A Jack Watts for the number one draft pick trade would fit the bill perfectly.

Amy combo of Shiel, Jaksch and O'Rourke might get it done. Whately seems to think it's a Monty theyre going for Petracca.

The PSD is now almost as dead as the priority pick. I don't think there will be many selections other than some late delistings that might be around.

Even then, they are effectively delisted FA.

It's only for a player holding out who is not yet eligible for FA.

Every draft pick is a potential Cale Morton or Lucas Cook.

• Dean Warren (Brisbane Lions)

2014 AFL Offseason @theafloffseason 1h

Damien Barrett has reported that Collingwood's Alex Fasolo has requested a trade out of the club, despite signing... http://fb.me/6Rmn0TyVO

Reckon we should go after him.

I was under the impression that once a contract is signed you can't leave over the following trading period. Maybe it can happen if the player wants it, but it seems strange to do so after signing an extension.

Someone here will know for sure but I've a feeling that that rule might have been ditched - stand corrected of course.

I can see a situation in the future where players will sign longer contracts and the clubs will want them to sign longer contracts ... so as to increase that players value in a future trade. We're not talking about C & D grade players but players who have currency.

It happens a lot in soccer where it's a "virtual" free market despite contracts being in place. Over time, a conclusion has been reached that a players value decreases if his contract is running out - the reverse applies if a player is tied up for 4 or 5 years.

Of course, our currency is draft picks and other tradeable players rather than transfer fees but in some ways, it amounts to the same thing. In a nutshell, in the future, a player signing a long(ish) term deal may not necessarily mean that that player is tied to a club like he might have been in the past.

Anyone who can put up with listening to Trade Radio has my utmost respect.

is it still Terry Wallace and Damian Barrett doing it?

Couldn't think of anything worse than to listen to those two muppets

Has Barrett apologized about Dom Tyson yet? Wait what a silly question, of course he hasn't

    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
