FA & Trade Whispers

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Brayshaw and Salem are the future of this club. As much as I rate Wines, nein danke.

ANB plus next year's first rounder would have to have some currency. Unlike some here, I reckon ANB will be a real goer in the next few years.

We backed our culture a few years ago to get Jeffy, not sure why we wouldn't back it now when it's even stronger....

 

What do you mean by that statement, he and Robinson made one mistake and were punished for it, it didn't help that both were frozen out of the club at the time

Hawthorn pages reporting we are into Jordan Lewis! Watch this space but it makes no sense.

If this eventuates, I hope he continues with AFL 360 next year.

I mean that the perception at the time (right or wrong) was there was a risk involved with bringing Garlett in, this was reflected in his trade value.

At the time we were pretty fresh into building our culture under Roos, and now that he has completed his job and moved on you would think our culture would be even better placed to bring in a player with a similar perception.

We could trade the Toump for Ollie ---- Oops.

Arguably there best mid for a player who struggles at AFL level and a pick in the high teens won't fly. If they are shopping Wines then they have something in mind that they want.

What players that are being thrown around do we actually need?

Alright, a further back up for Max would be handy, but I'd rather us not chase an injury prone Vardy or someone who simply isn't up to it.  We'll get Hibberd, but then what else do we need?  Did we really need a Mayne or a Wells?  Mitchell was always interested in the Hawks, while Rockliff does nothing for me in the slightest in terms of what he will bring to the club off the field.

I understand people want to see stuff done, but think it through first.  With our young list and the improvement to come there isn't much we need to do at this stage.  Having one quiet trade period is not the end of the world.

Totally agree with you Wise, Hibberd yes, decent fwd/ruck as long as no [censored] cost and that is about it   Mahoney being saying same thing

I cant tell if you are undervaluing Rockliff or severely overvaluing Dunn but there is no way in hell that would happen. Dunn has next to no value as an old Defender who cant play modern zone footy, Rockliff is an All Australian midfielder (despite playing in a [censored] team) and a club captain.

People have to realise you have to pay closer to the value of the player to the club he is leaving than the value to the club he is moving to. Rockliff is worth far more to Brisbane than he is to us. Thats why Hawthorn so frquently pays overs for the players they want. If Melbourne wanted Rockliff they would have to pay well overs to get him.

I'm maybe exaggerating a little but he's is a free agent at the end of next year so lions can take what they are given now or get nothing in 12 months. If they think he's going anyway

Then he could make another Moonsh. Don't do it, for all our sakes Billy.

[whatwhat say what 22,658]

it definitely seems likely that if rockliff doesn't leave this season he will be out next year.

 

bradshaw all over again.

Garlett had a choice of 3 clubs, he picked Melbourne

Errrrr ok, but that's irrelevant to what I'm talking about mate.

Not sure why posters assume we're doing nothing this trade period simply because they haven't 'heard' anything from SEN or bigfooty.

How about just wait until the end of next week.

I'm sure we'll pull a rabbit out of the hat and it won't be the Hibberd trade.

Could the Hibberd delay be to do with us promising this year's 2nd rounder to Hawthorn for Lewis? (Which they may be planning on using as part of another deal)

 

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Fingers crossed, it'll be something as good as Tom Mitchell for pick 14. I still can't get my head around that deal.

The Swans must have huge salary cap issues and a lot of respect for the wishes of their players.

 

[Ted Lasso 19,278]

Get ready guys, feeling a big left field deal from us here.

Why would the Hawks trade out Mitchell & Lewis. I thought they made a call on Mitchell so that Lewis would be retained. He's 30, but he doesn't seem like he has any more than two years left, one excellent and one average year imo.

Who knows but the Lewis rumor is growing massive legs.

[Dockett 32 1,239]

Sorry but what am I missing. He started in 2005. He's a free agent isn't he?

Escapes me why we would want an ageing , slowish type when we have an urgent  need for speed.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

We also have a super young list and need to bolster it with some experience. I think Lewis pretty comfortably ticks that box.

 

[kurtneverdied 238]

I asked the guy who broke the rumor if it's true, yes or no. He just liked the post. Positive.

500k Vickery, 600k mitchell 700k O'meara..... Cap space issues!!!!!!!! plus older boys not happy about them having held out on bigger deals to keep the gang together for the Johnny come lately's to earn more than the reigning B+F........

We are too busy negotiating whether to use this years second rounder or next years second rounder for Hibberd to worry about any other potential trades. 

Do you honestly believe that crap, or is it just another typical Olisik post ?

Does She have to fit in the salary cap as well?
