Pinball Wizard 374 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 The AFL Trade Period is often fueled by rumours and guesswork and it can be fun discerning whether or not they have any substance. One person who purports to have the inside knowledge and calls himself Ricky Nixon has posted a long list of AFL Trade Scoops on Facebook but they sound less like scoops and more like a mixture of stories that are already out there, rumour and malarkey — • Geelong now having second thoughts on what to offer Tom Hawkins who is out of contact and coming off another below average finals series and with Jeremy Cameron on the move do they need both ??? • Jesse Hogan from Fremantle two clubs showing huge interest in him now Sydney and Brisbane with Sydney offering him three year deal. • Kyle Hartigan after nominating Hawthorn from Adelaide talks two-three year deal. • Alex Witherden from Brisbane been strongly linked to two Victorian clubs already Hawthorn Essendon • Max Lynch young back up Collingwood ruckman has had four clubs showing interest in him now are Richmond Fremantle GWS Adelaide • Josh Thomas from Collingwood linked to two clubs Hawthorn Melbourne • Shaun McKernan has had huge interest in him with three clubs very keen Melbourne St Kilda North Melbourne • Tom McDonald from Melbourne looks set to nominate Essendon with Essendon offered him four years on the table. • Neville Jetta talks going around Collingwood huge interest in him after they offered him two year deal to lure him from Melbourne. • Isaac Smith talks he will nominate a trade to Melbourne from Hawthorn Melbourne has offered him three year deal. • Peter Wright from Gold Coast been linked to three clubs already GWS Collingwood Sydney all showing huge interest in him. • Ben Brown looks set to nominate Melbourne as his preferred destination Melbourne has offered him five year deal on table. • Majak Daw only one club has shown interest in him the last couple days and that is Collingwood. • Jared Polec despite being linked to a two year deal with Melbourne Hawthorn has also shown interest in him talks going around if a deal dose not get done Polec happy to stay at North depending if deal can not get done. • Nathan Broad from Richmond with two clubs showing huge interest in him is Gold Coast and Fremantle. • Jack Higgins from Richmond been linked three clubs Bulldogs and North Melbourne and Melbourne. • St Kilda's Jake Carlisle has the Hawks still showing huge interest in him after the Hawks offered him three year deal to try and lure him another old club Essendon showing interest in him again. • Jack Lonie from St Kilda been linked to four clubs Bulldogs Carlton Collingwood Sydney. • Paddy McCartin ex Saint former number one draft pick been linked to three clubs Geelong Essendon Sydney talks going around clubs want him to pass medical tests and fitness tests to prove that he’s good to go. • Dylan Roberton from St Kilda been linked two clubs Adelaide GWS • Aliir Aliir from Sydney been linked to two clubs Port Adelaide GWS. • Ben Ronke from Sydney been linked two clubs Adelaide North Melbourne • Tom Hickey from West Coast been linked three clubs Sydney GWS Carlton. • Lachlan Hunter told Bulldogs he wants to stay after all the talk going on around him said he’s not going anywhere. • Delisted players who have interest in them.

Adam The God 30,706 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 The Josh Thomas one has come up before. Interesting... Struggled this year, but his two previous seasons were solid. I wouldn't say no, he is getting on though. Quote

dazzledavey36 56,269 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Hamish Brayshaw as a potential rookie/delisted free agent is interesting.. Quote
DeeZee 7,496 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Kyle Dunkley also to be picked up by the bombers as part of the lure to get Josh Quote
whatwhat say what 23,808 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Ben Jacobs retired due to repeated concussion Take this chook with a grain of salt; he ain’t no @Chook in Perth 2 Quote
3183 Dee 2,917 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 I don’t mind the Jack Higgins link. 4 Quote
TeamPlayedFine39 8,525 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 A fun read! I like this time of year when the rumours run thick and fast. Whilst I’m sure many/most won’t pan out, none of them seem outside of the realms of possibility. Sounfs like Sydney are very keen on getting a tall forward in. Quote
Lucifers Hero 40,709 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) 5 years to Ben Brown would be a surprise. Makes him 33 at the end of his contract. Hopefully there would be triggers for last year or two. Edited October 25, 2020 by Lucifer's Hero 2 Quote

spirit of norm smith 16,677 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 I once threw 10 darts and 7 hit the board and scored one amazing unexpected bullseye. That sums up the rumour file. 2 1 Quote

Struggled this year, but his two previous seasons were solid. I wouldn't say no, he is getting on though. Yes interested. He’s an opportunity to add more pace to the line up and he loves a goal. Whatever we get for Hannan, we should offer for Thomas. 3rd rounder?? 1 Quote

Whatever we get for Hannan, we should offer for Thomas. 3rd rounder?? I'd hope a little later than a third rounder, but at the end of the day, that's probably fair. He only kicked 4 goals this year, so they couldn't ask for much more. I should say I'd prefer Higgins over Thomas, but we need 2-3 of these small guys on the cheap. 2 Quote

I’d almost risk going for Paddy McCartin over Brown too. ? Edit: His repeat concussions are probably too much of a risk though, good luck to him though. Edited October 25, 2020 by Males Quote
