BigFooty IS his source.

Good point. I assumed it was happening soon, but that would make sense.

Not sure mate, unfortunately don't have any more info yet. Wait and see if it's even correct too!

Pick trade for a first round pick coming up apparently.

Officially a done deal for pick 31.

Apparently it's (yet another) salary dump kinda deal. Swans pretty tight on their cap.

TMac and vandenBerg (or one of them and a pick) worth enough?

Ranked 267 in the AFL for average disposals. Ranked 165 for average tackles. Ranked 77 for average clangers. Ranked 110 for average turnovers. You gotta love his intensity and consistent effort, but IMO this year his mistakes cost us more than his positive impact.

Done deal. Off to the Dogs for a future 3rd rounder.

What's done mate?

Hannan trade likely to be a future 3rd.

I like him, but our hands are tied at the negotiation table given we didn't pick him often this year.

Another pick trade potentially coming up...

Hannan for a future 3rd round pick is doing the media rounds, not confirmed yet.

Yep, but with Buddy and McCartin you might not even get 6 games between them, probably need another mature option. (Which might mean TMac isn't the right option given his injury status, but just a random thought)

Unless Sydney make a late play? (No news, just a guess)

Wright has officially joined Essendon. Surely impacts their TMac interest?

Oh boy... "Instead, it’s more likely Treloar stays at the Pies for one more year, giving his camp and rival clubs time to plan for a move this time next year. It’s not ideal, but it’s the best card in the bad hand that he has been dealt by his own club." Treloar staring down the barrel of awkward Collingwood return

To clarify for you, the post of mine you replied to was in response to someone who suggest he would be traded for pick 80. I think a reasonably fair deal will be done and you're getting sucked into the media drama. Yes, they don't "HAVE" to trade him. He is contracted. He will get traded, we all believe that, but if we're talking facts then stick to facts.

He's still contracted, so no, they don't "HAVE" to trade him. And ok then, if he gets traded for around pick 80 then you're completely correct and I'm 100% wrong.

Disagree mate. He'll leave the Pies no doubt, but IMO these things get over-dramatized in the media pretty often. Clubs will still act in reasonably good faith and a fair trade will be done.

Wouldn't have thought we'd be looking at Vardy and Cox if we're already tight on the salary cap and looking for what is pretty much a VFL ruck spot? Seems a strange call by the club (Preuss Mk II). Would be surprised if the Pies accepted pick 26 for Treloar too, even in the circumstances, and even if they do, it leaves us with picks 43, 68 and 69 as it stands. Not ideal.

Don't reckon he's going to Essendon now...

Has something happened here? Thought he looked good in his first year but then totally dropped off the map this year.
