Trade/FA rumours

[Yeahright]

I can tell you Zac Smith has a myriad of leg problems .. Mammoth risk

Picks 49 and 53. Yeah, I think that pretty much eliminates any risk

Meanwhile at Richmond....

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

but if you're arguing we could get a better than pick 12 for Ellis then you also think he's surpassed his potential. 

Nope on the contrary

I don't rate him that highly, just like I don't rate Astbury that highly (hence why a 2nd rounder would have been a steal)

But for reasons that only the AFL industry can explain they (AFL inndustry) rate them highly.... that's why Ellis B could get us a pick in the top 10...

I wouldn't rate some old baseball card worth anything, but some blokes will pay huge dollars for it. I'd have to acknowledge that despite my own personal valuing of the card, its worth a lot. So my statement that he's surpassed his value as a #15 pick stands. If you're arguing that he's worth a top 10 pick, he's surpassed his value. Numbers don't lie!

Richmond still asleep at the wheel

They are still looking for the wheel.

What's a wheel??

Cats doing trades for the fun of it.  Two third round picks for a bloke who wont get a game ahead of their other ruckmen?  Ok Geelong, whatever ...

Won't get a game ahead of who? I think he's a great chance to get a game.

Simpson left. McIntosh retired.

Clark is playing forward if he's playing at all.

Stanley can play ruck, Vardy can play ruck/forward but is ususally injured, Blicavs can play anywhere but is more of a 2nd ruck options.

So Smith would really just be competing with Stanley, Vardy and Blicavs but IMO he's a better first ruck than all of them.

Think it will be Hawkins, Clark, Vardy in the F50. Smith/Stanley + Blicavs in the ruck.

So cheap too. Better option than Hampson and much cheaper...

"Not falling into this again .More hold ups on Treloar deal. Today unlikely. Late pics delaying it But Howe deal is likely. ‪#‎needtherapy‬

Collingwood midfielder Nathan Freeman is set to join the Saints in a deal for St Kilda's second round pick next year.

The deal which is expected to go through Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning at the latest, will also involve an exchange of later draft picks.

Troy Menzel's name has come up in talks between GWS and Carlton, possibly for A Tomlinson. Don't think Menzel would agree to moving, though.

Didn't they lock yours pretty quickly after stealing credit for this one?

Yep 

would have thought it would be easier to delete posts rather than lock a whole thread which had merit.

[big tone]

I've heard Essendon and Carlton are showing interest in Matty Dea. I'd be disappointed to lose him but if Dimma refuses to play him we may as well get something for him.
Maybe our second round pick and Dea for Yarran?
