GWS want pick 21 for Bruce (who??)

Saints want two picks for Dal Santo  :lol

West Coast only offering a 3rd rounder for Yeo.

Bumbers want a pick in the teens for Crameri  :lol
Yeo goes alright, will be a good pickup for one of the WA clubs. Definitely worth more than a 3rd rounder.

I said they get the job done at the trade table.

How many trades have they made so far?


Clubs are stupid at times look at the first rounder they got for Dawes/Wellingham

Foley/Edwards/Grigg/Grimes should've been thrown up just to see what some would pay


For every one club that throws up a stupid trade, there are 16 other clubs that play hard ball. As mentioned above, all the expectations of other clubs in terms of what they want in return seems to be way to high.

Also who says we haven't put up a couple of players on the trade table like Foley, Grigg and Edwards - just because we haven't heard anything in the media doesn't mean its happened.

Last year St Kilda needed a backman, they wanted the contracted Mitch Brown, they couldn't get him, they wasted all their time on getting Brown and in the end finished up not getting anyone. Their back 6 in 2013 was one of the worst going around.

Last year, we needed a backman, we targeted Chaplin and got him.

This year, we needed a ruckman, we got Hampson.

I'm pretty happy about the way we go about it.

Lets not forget that picks 1 and 2 are both on the table but can't seem to attract any attention!
So basically we are putting up Edwards, Foley, Grimes and Grigg against pick 1, Pick 2, Adams, Sheil, Mumford, And Shaw. These are the top line players and pick that clubs are looking to attract decent players with and look what we are throwing up :lol

I can't believe that GWS a club that is starved of tall defenders wants pick 21 for an average tall defender who has only played 11 games this year????
Way to sell it Orange Goblins.  :lol

I can't see what all the "Doggie love" is for Crameri??? A teen pick???  :lol Someone must have pictures.....

Port Adelaide have outlined Travis Varcoe as a player of interest but refuse to part ways with their first round pick.

Adrian Dorodo has been coy over the prospects of Essendon recruiting hawks on baller, Brad Sewell.

Shane Savage has announced that he has chosen Carlton as his club of preference to be traded to. It's understood pick 28 that the blues acquired for the Shaun Hampson trade will get the deal done.

Scott Gumbleton has told the Essendon Football Club that he wants to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

https://www.facebook.com/AFLSeasonAndOffSeasonNews

- JAMES POLKINGHORNE and AARON CORNELIUS have requested trades away from BRISBANE.

- BRISBANE have expressed interest in DAVID MACKAY and JARRYD LYONS from ADELAIDE

- The age are reporting that PATRICK KARNEZIS will become a COLLINGWOOD player for a third or fourth round pick

http://www.scpaige.com.au/updated-trade-rumours-and-free-agency-movement/

- Adelaide are interested in Delisted cat James Podsiadly and injury prone Essendon forward Scott Gumbleton, the club's priorty is to acquire Brisbane midfielder Jared Polec. Ricky Henderson is a required player.

- Carlton football manager has confirmed that Carlton are interested in Paul Chapman, Shane Savage is also on the radar but salary cap restraints and the desire to have 4 picks in the national draft looks like it will restrict any deal, Sam Docherty also falls into this scenario. Josh Bootsma, Levi Casboult and Kane Lucas are all on the trade table.

By the sounds of it Brisbane won't even be able to field a side next year.

ESSENDON will join the race for Paul Chapman and have also hinted an interest in chasing Hawthorn's dual premiership midfielder Brad Sewell.
