Norm Smith's Curse

I must admit after talking to a few ranges associated people earlier i really hoped we'd get Wied. The guy has matural courage. I am most excited about this pick up in this draft.

interesting. Any other tidbits?

People bag him for his recent form rather than the totality of his career particularly before asada wada

There's a Jake Melksham highlight reel on the melbourne website. Melksham was actually a tidy player in 2013. Im not fussed if we get kennedy or Bugg but i thinknMelk might work out ok.

Haha

Facebook scenario: Watts to hawks for pick 15 (on the back of an sen caller) - pick 6 and 15 to Sydney for Parker

Petracca's old coach believes he will be an a grader.

Before u bag him check out his 2013 season highlights.

You over rate Geelong and Collingwood's recent trade history. Dangerfield fell in their laps.

Chris was Juice Newton's biggest fan

Still think that although it can be argued that we've reduced Watts' trade worth by holding on to him too long that his elite disposal would be a real gift for an elite midfield like Fremantle or West Coast. I think Bugg may signal the trade of Grimes and Garland, Howe, Toumpas and Watts may go if a reasonable deal comes up. watts for melksham is too much imo.

Kennedy signed a four year deal with the Swans in 2013 where he stated that he would be forever grateful to the swans for the opportunity they gave him after the trade from the hawks and that he wanted to play for a successful club. Im not thinking he is the big fish personally.

Gnf was the first to suggest kennedy

Unfortunately i dont know any player agents

The person who told me that thinks its usually a deliberate tactic.

Freo making a big play for Bennell. Source facebook.

Nearly all trade stories are leaked from player agents rather than clubs.

My contact said Sydney and Gold Coast were the targets. My source was right on two a few years back but not on last year.

just something i thought up.

Toumpas for Matt Crouch straight swap

That sen quote is from ten days ago reposted by some facebook page today. Keep up fellas...

Yes Aish being silent on his future while still ne resigning with Brisbane makes it pretty clear.

Freeman?? Another first round dud?

Sen reports collingwood talking with Howe. Freeman would be at this stage a downgrade. Its unusual for highly rated high draftees to be on the table after two years unless he's nqr but he looked great at tac cup level (as did many). Howe for Treloar? someone here claimed Aish would announce his want to go to Collingwood. Nothing yet so does that mean he has suitors in the clubs who havent finished?

In other words no takers. Ugh...
