AFL Trade Week 2009

Jump to new
Fevola move to Bris is a great move in my opinion. Vossy can demonstrate further his ability to control the club, and with JB able to chat him nearby on field (read: kick his a... if he mopes about or carrys on like a two bob watch). The lack of local media and attention might help curtail the clown antics of Fevola. The risk is the aging centreline of Bris (still working pretty good mind you)
Vos and Brown will do a much better job on Fevola than Ratten & Judd. On that I am not a big fan of Ratten.
 
What is Collingwood up to with the purchase of Jolly.

It would appear that the ruck combo of Jolly/Wood would be the mid/term goal here. Where does that leave Fraser? Does he get a run in the forward line?

Maybe St Kilda might look at something with the Pies to get Fraser for Ball? St Kilda need another "big man", particularly with King losing a bit in the last month or two of the season.

This doesn't happen often but I have to apologise to Carlton. I thought that the Blues were not serious about losing Fevola - but today's announcement proves they were prepared to move the "Fevolution" on at any price.

He's now a Lion - after Lachlan Henderson and draft pick 12 move on to Carlton. Carlton are also sending pick 27 to the Lions with Fevola.

Great pick up by the Lions and Blues fans must be scratching their heads. IN the short term (where the Lions are looking) this was even better than the Bradshaw/Ricshetelli(sic) deal in my opinion.

Great move.

As a lion's supporter.

Very pleased with this deal,
I didnt want to see Bradshaw or Risch go,

Lions have shortened from $17.00 to $14.00 for 2010 premiership.

i might even have a punt on them. how good is voss?
the only problem i see is the forward line going to be big enough
for the three of them (we can now throw in bradshaw)

they could go very very close next year
 
Worst trade of the week goes to ........... Hawthorn.

WTF are they thinking? We essentially lose picks 9 40 & 56, Williams, McGlynn & Kennedy for Burgoyne and picks 39, 46 & 70 with 39 our first pick.

Burgoyne is a handy player but he is no Judd or Ablett and he's 27 or 28, he better win us a flag in the next 2 years or we have been seriously ripped off.

They can play Bradshaw in the backline.

Brisbane have got Fev for less then Hawthorn paid for Burgoyne WTF?
 
It's going to be very interesting to see how Brisbane's forward line goes next year. It's going to be tough for other team's defenders to match up on the 3 big forwards.

Crows have Bock and Rutten, but i remember they struggled against fev and brown in the all-star-Vic match a couple years ago.

You cant really compare Fev to Burgoyne. When Burgoyne is in form he is seriously good, he was an early favourite for the brownlow 1 or 2 seasons ago.

1 red hot patch of form that he will probably never recreate and after his injury plagued season this year I think he has played his best footy, he might be handy but that's it. I've no problems with Burgoyne coming to Hawthorn just the price they paid for him.

At least Fev can win you games off his own boot.
 

It was always going to happen as Bombers needed a forwarded, Hawks wanted Burgoyne and Port wanted..... anything in the end.

As an Essendon supporter, I'm pretty happy with the result of trade week. We got a first round pick for a player that didn't want to stay (and we could have got nothing). We've picked up Williams who is a very handy player - and might I add (maybe nomores can help me here if I'm wrong), Williams was a player that really tried throughout last year. When other players seemed lethargic and disinterested, Williams was full bore. I can remember the game against Essendon when he was reving it up Roughhead for not maning up.

If I was Nomores I wouldn't be impressed. You are right mate - Burgoyne is no Fev. Lions were easily the best traders.

Much happier now with Bombers forward line.

Hi Duckman,

Williams will be a good fit for the bombers as he is a very good lead up forward and should kick some goals for you guys. Something the bombers will need next year.

I'm not too disappointed to lose Williams as he can be a bit frustrating at times and can seem a bit disinterested and lazy at times as well but the change of environment will do him good.
I'll always remember him for that passage of play with Dew in the GF that lead to him kicking a goal, the hardest I'd ever seen him work.

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

has anything happened yet
do we have another week of the trade left
 
an acquaintance works in the carlton football dept (not going to name any names here) and word was that if he wasn;t traded he was going to be sacked. if they sack him they get nothing, if they trade him they get something.
being a good kick doesn't mean you are not a dick. the lions will need a good management plan.
 

He will be a gun for Brisbane, small town, he'll be sunbaking instead of being a yahoo! JMO! But that Brissy forward line better learn to run. It's great to be fed it, how about chasing the rebound through half-back.

No more double-teaming Brown.
Fevola will get the opposition's 2nd best defender.
Bradshaw will get a No-name defender.

Brisbane premiership odds shortened to $12.00 on finalisation of the trade.
 
yeh really happy in the end to pick up Williams, think he has been pretty overshadowed by the buddy and roughhead show. Going back a few years he was in contention for the coleman. We needed a player to shore up the forward line and now we have. Happy to see Lovett go in return for Williams ecstatic infact. Now the Saints can deal with his lack of commitment, he never lifted when we needed him to, infact the only time he seemed to play good was when we were 10 goals down and he would pull out a big play in frustration. He isnt good in close as he was always pushed off the ball. He has talent yes, commitment no. Funny that the Saints would take on a player like Lovett after the comment that Lions made to the players after losing the GF?
