Trade rumours

[goodwindees 2,118]

Lever to Dees, Trengove to Dogs, Kelly to re-sign, these are certain. 

Hawks are making a big play for Whitfield and are waiting for Board approval to be able to offer up the player that will be required to possibly get the deal done. If the Board approves, it will be Rioli & Duryea for Whitfield.

Rioli?  I think they'd be lynched by the fans if they did that.

Tom McDonald played a few good games as a forward and it seems people now believe that Weed should be moved on? If I have learnt anything from my time at demonland it's that posters put way too much weight on a few good performances from individuals

If his first half against Box Hill didn't show you why he was rated so highly then I can't help you.

Lol.

You have no idea whether that is a good or bad concept

I saw Bruce McAvaney looking at real estate in Western Sydney so it must be true. He said the region was special but I think he was exaggerating a touch.

Because it's complete and utter rubbish.  It's not a rumour, it's garbage.

Shout out to @Lucifer's Hero who is never far away from a like when someone takes a pot shot in my direction.  Good to see you, too.

Only when they refer to your comments that are OTT, insulting to a poster or are high horsed about something.  Don't know why you signalled me out - others respond the same way to similar posts but whatever.

..tbh I'm surprised anyone tracks the likes to their own posts, let alone likes to other people's posts about them but whatever.

Stupid and ridiculous comments on here

How is Charlie Curnow going ? Some  Posters on here seem to think potential is more important than reality. That is rediculous!

Different circumstance and traits have allowed Curnow to show 'more' than Weideman at this stage.

I don't know why that's so difficult to see.

If you were to ask anyone at the club, they'd say the same thing and I'm sure they would have expected to see Curnow play more regular footy than Weed early on.

Context is everything in this argument.

Weideman will be much better placed to play more regular football next year but I don't think we'll see big inroads made until 2019 from Sam.

So because one player has developed a little quicker than another, then you get rid of them?

[Gorgoroth 12,308]

Ah the normal anger/tanties that get thrown in the thread about trade rumours is bloody hilarious.

I read some, think utter shite and move on. I enjoy the crazy left field "rumours".

if people don't post where they heard/got the info I hold it as .01%, if they post it as I heard it from a second hand source, 1%.

If they have proven good info before 10%.

That way I'm not going to be annoyed if they don't come true.

Makes this thread more interesting.

Yep you sure do or you dont select them in tbe first place as projects

This club has zero ability to develop players and  should leave it  to those who have shown that they can

I'm happy for a difference of opinion but you need to have a basis for it. 

The players weren't developed well in the past but the calibre of the kids we have and how quickly they are developing in the last few years would be the envy of most clubs.  In conjunction with this you have also seen more experienced players get better also.  

If we take your thinking Gawn would have been delisted after his 2nd year.

Hunt and Jetta said to say hello and thanks for not being the list manager when they were recruited.

Not rumour, but Conor McKenna re-signed for 4 yrs at Bombers. On AFL site.

[whatwhat say what 18,874]

The Whitfield to Hawks has legs but I have heard it was Poppy and others - including Duryea - they were looking to package up

FWIW it sounds like fan-made pipe dreaming, trading two-three B-graders for one A-grader

It doesn't happen in reality these days

[Demon Jack 6,276]

Lachie Whitfield has apparently just signed for two years with the Giants.

Here is the confirmation, DJ.  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-09-13/gun-giant-extends-his-deal-until-2020

He has extended to end of 2020.

Constantly baffles me to see posters get so worked up about a "rumours" thread.

Especially if the poster is relatively new to the place, let them build up credits or demerit points before writing them off.

If Whitfield stays then I reckon Kelly goes. What of Connor's management staff told a friend last week that kelly would go to North. Another Connor leak

Wow.

You're okay to let Weideman keep spudding it up until 2019 now. 

Don't get me wrong, I wish him all the best fortune for a successful and long career at the MFC but your double-standards and contextualisation of the current circumstances only leads to hypotheticals of which the above post is chock-a-block full of.

Can you rephrase that OD, I have no idea what you are trying to say.
