AFL Trade Week 2009

Jump to new
Geelong need to make some changes with salary cap, so here's my view
Blake should be offloaded now we have three other ruckmen capable of filling the void. Blake for Nathan Brown from Tigers or Podsiadly in draft week and then Blake for a pick and Luke Ball
Stokes to West Coast for second round pick and Gamble to step up with Djekkura.
Tenace for Matt Maguire
David Johnson for late pick
 
Not sure if Ottens can be relied upon to stay fit in order for Blake to be traded. I think Geelong are more likely to part with Stokes. Certainly Hawkins showed enough late up forward and with Milburn playing on I dont think the Cats will think they need any further players.

The Hawks have got Gibson, no doubt they are saving their first pick for either Jolly or Burgoyne. Kennedy will go to the Swans so I wonder if Jolly will go to Pies leaving the pies to give something to PA in order for Burgoyne to come to Hawthorn.

I think the only 2 ways Fev would leave Carlton would be to Brissy in exchange for Bradshaw, or to St Kilda in exchnage for Ball or another complex trade. Otherwise the Blues can always just keep him
 
could someone please wake me up if freo actually do anything
as usual we will play hardball and end up with nothing (carr )

imo we should offload tarrant for a 2/3 rnd pick and put dodd and
schammer on the table as well
 
Fevola...

Is anybody going to pick up this guy, I don't think so.
It was nice thought by Carlton to put him up for grabs, at least it pleased the media that they are doing something about his behaviour, but I don't believe that they want to get rid of somebody that will kick 80 - 90 goals for them next season... they know that knowbody will get him (too expensive) even if carlton put some money in towards the deal...

GO PIES!!!!

Are you talking about Josh Carr that went back to Port Power?
I think that he has been delisted by Power.Its a shame, but he played one year too many.I doubt whether he had much value?

yes i agree with you about carr, but we are not agressive enough
in trade week like a lot of other clubs and we should be.

for example tarrant had a great year but at his age and for the development
the freo list trade him on for a kid. we are not going to win the flag next
year so keep on rebuilding (or should i say building as we have not built
anything yet) as i see it the problem is harvey is in his 3rd year and
is trying to improve win/loss ratio to save his job at the expence of
maybe future flag

sorry i dont see much hope in the future at the moment

How's that for closure?

The Boa Constricta backline finally has some legs! :eek:

Well done Saints management! :D :cool:



And he can kick banana's too!

 
I wonder how many bulldog fans would have preferred Fevola over Hall.

Both have issues, but Fev is alot younger, and has been kicking more goals.
Hall, i think, is 32 yrs old - that's pretty old for AFL.

but Hall is basically 'free', 3rd round pick.

to get fev, they'd have to give a 1st round pick and probably brian lake.
 
As a sainter, I am happy with the Lovett pick up! Hope Ball stays with us and gets more game time in 2010

SHANE Mumford's decision this morning on whether to leave Geelong will determine the fate of dual-premiership defender David Wojcinski.

The ruckman is expected to tell the club today whether he will accept its offer of a promotion to the primary list, or make a big money move interstate.

If Mumford stays, Wojcinski will almost certainly become the victim of the club's bulging salary cap.

Fellow ruckman Mark Blake has agreed in-principle to remain with the Cats, leaving Wojcinski as the only senior player on the list yet to re-sign.

Anthony McConville, who manages Cat ruckmen Mumford, Blake and Trent West, said yesterday Mumford would inform the Cats of his decision this morning.

Sydney appears to be the front runner for his services.

The Swans reportedly offered Mumford around $1,000,000 for three years, with its senior ruckman Darren Jolly set to leave.

Port Adelaide has also expressed interest in the 23-year-old.

It would be shame to lose Mumford. Don't know about you Yelnats, but I prefer Mumford to Blake.
Mumford does alot more around the ground than Blake.
We could afford to lose Wojo, with Hunt coming back next year.


Yelnats, do you think Gary will go North to the Gold Coast or stay at the cattery?
 
The big one today was Fevola to Brissy for Bradshaw & Rischitelli to the Blues. Fev has said yes to the deal, Brad Hardie reported today that Alastair Lynch (Fev's manager) was drawing up the HOA late this arvo.
 
heres my take on the fev deal.

move forward 2 weeks.

big jono brown calls fev over for a quick chat.
"hey fev, welcome mate, we could have some fun huh ? black, rich, power, all those skilful little guys kicking it lace out to you and me. we'll work out some formula and become the dominant force"
"yeah brownie looking forward to it"
"now fev, just one thing (JB moves up to eyeball fev) F up and i'll kill ya. make ONE stupid mistake and i'll drive this fist that far down ya throat youll wish you were never born. make me face the media to apologise for some 'indiscretion' of yours and its bye bye world."
"um.....yeah....ok brownie"
"now fev, this sunday come over to my place, bring the wife n kids, me mrs will put on a pile of grub and we'll have a good time. you and me can sit back after and polish off a slab or two. you and me are gonna get S faced. and you wont F up once. you wont swear once. you wont drop ya beer once. you wont give me one reason to lean over and punch the living S out of you"
"um.....yeah.....ok brownie"
"it'll be great fev - looking forward to it"

JB is clearly the most respected player in the game at present - and rightly so. he plays the game like everyone wishes they could play the game.

fev - if this deal works out it could actually be your making - alongside this giant of the game and 100+ goals and all the fanfare that comes with it is a gimme.

dont F up.

LOL i think thats pretty much how it will go also :)

Browny can also drink like a machine. I have been out with him and was way out of my depth, perhaps he'll show Fev how to handle his grog :eek:

Brisbanes involvement in Trade Week to day is an indication that Voss wants results now rather than in 4 years time. They've been very busy. Prbably a good move. Power, Brown, Black have most of their best years behind them.

All Brisbanes moves have been pretty good in my opinion. Getting Buchanan from the Swans as a crumbing forward. Getting Staker form West Coast (wait and see). They are looking at grabbing Xavier Clarke from Saints with low down draft pick. Andrew Raines from Richmond is not a bad pick up either. Of all the useless crap they've got down at Tigerland and they decided to let him go. Dumb move unless they know something of his injury that the Lions don't. All in all they've done pretty well with some agressive trading.

Lovett's move to St Kilda will be a good fit. He should be provide some speed and x-factor to the group. St Kilda is also a good fit because he has a tendancy to be a lazy player and can "faze out of games" for quarters at a time. Good teams can afford to carry players like that.

Just waiting for the final flurry of movement of players in the last day. Hawthorn, Essendon, Collingwood and Port Adelaide might all still have moves up their sleeve. Luke Ball and Burgoyne still haven't been sorted out. With St Kilda's first round draft pick going to Essendon for Lovett it might provide ammo for Essendon to trade for a player. Although noone seems to want to come and play for the Bombers.:D Everyone wants Hawthorn, Collingwood or Carlton (possibly seen as being closer to finals success).

Duckman
 
How can a player be sacked for being drunk playing for a club called "CARLTON".

The only reason why Fev went to Carlton in the first place was when heard he's in the Carlton Draught.. he thought he was working for a brewery.
