Title: Trade rumours and scuttlebutt
Post by: one-eyed on September 08, 2007, 04:17:35 AM
On the St Kilda forum Saintsational they are saying the Saints are interested in Pettifer.

On the Sydney forum R&W online some Swannie said Jolly would demand our best player Foley in return.

It's time again for the silly season  :whistle

have heard this Petts rumour too.

P-train loves being at Richmond. He's made alot of close mates and is well respected within the senior group. You see it when they're out together too. He hangs with Richo and Browny alot.

I suppose out of all our positions on the field HFF is one position that we could afford to fill with someone else but Petts has improved every season. If he had his kicking boots on this year he'd of kicked a fair few more goals.

My only quibble if he was traded would be that we've put a hell of alot into him and have waited for him patiently to develop and now he's starting to finally show something what are we gonna do, trade him?

The answer to that is probobly that the time has come where we have enough potential replacements ready to fill the void and he has enough bargaining power now to get us another potential first round pick. Would mis his high marking talents though.

i hate his defensive talents or should i say lack of. His bobblehead running from behind reminds me of some of my hilarious primary school performances in the 100m, while coming last. But its all about participation right  :D

If he was a better defensive player i'd keep him but alas he falls short.

So whats my verdict?

If we get a first round upgrade then i think its worth it. We basically replace a HFF with a KPP  :thumbsup

my only qualm is that if we do that we get rid of a HFF who we know can play at AFL level, for a kid KPP who may not even make the grade. Not putting down any of the young talls but that has to be taken into account

We should start a rumour about the Tiges being interested him :thumbsup

Never trade for the sake of it.

Plenty of others to try and trade before Pettifer.

Pettifer would be one of the few players who would be worth something. Would not be opposed to this trade but would want something pretty good in return. This is the sort of trade that when played well can set a team up. It is exactly the sort of trade Richmond do not do and would probably stuff up if they did. If we could upgrade our 2nd pick sufficiently to allow us to pick up one of the more fancied Rucks / KPP's in this draft then might be worth it. St. Kilda's 1st pick for Pettifer and our second. Sounds a winner to me but doubt it would happen.

FWIW I quite like Petts and would feel sad to see him go.

We give up a 1st round pick who's playing well plus a 2nd round pick for a first round pick in return.
No thanks.

ps Heard a strong rumour that the pies will be comprehensively knocked out in week 1. Hard to believe something like that could happen but there you go.

Suppose I reckon you've got to give up something to get something. It's a case of looking at what you need and what you've got and not worrying about what other teams have or are likely to get and forgetting about getting screwed or not. It's not a competition (well it is but that's not what I mean   :D ), what you're trying to do is build a good list and stuff what other teams are doing. You certainly wouldn't get St Kilda giving up their first round pick for Petts. If we really want an early KPP then we have to give something good for it. Connors could probably be played in his position. I suppose I was thinking an early KPP is more valuable to us than an early HFF. Ok Petts is proven where a draft pick is an uncertainty.

Actually I've just looked and I suppose St Kilda has pick 9 this year wish could be a little to late to make the deal worthwhile for us, so I would say pass. I thought they finished lower. I thought perhaps pick 5 or 6. Oh well.

As I said I like Petts, but he is a HFF without the magic that Browny gives us. Good for 40 - 50 goals a year so no biggy to keep him. I'm happy either way.
Title: Re: Trade rumours and scuttlebutt
Post by: mightytiges on September 08, 2007, 06:20:12 PM
I hope we don't trade Petts as he's finally starting to payback the time we've spent on him to develop. We'd want a fair bit for him if we were to let him go. A HFF who has kicked almost 40 goals isn't someone you let go lightly. A early first round pick at least.

I reckon Kent Kingsley is the type of player needed as a forward. Pettifer will cost too much and is probably holding out Kingsley at Richmond.

Kent Kingsley is a very good player. Has been unlucky not to get too many games with the bottom side this season. Maybe 2nd or 3rd pick or even just a straight swap with someone like Milne or Baker.

We don't have the mid-late twentysomething KPPs to trade that Hawthorn and Collingwood did to score early picks in a direct swap. There's only Richo who's too old to trade and then a massive gap to Sarge who's 22. Other clubs won't give us a top 10 pick for Petts yet we get shafted if we let go of Petts as well as give up either pick 18 or 19.

Agree tigersalive it's a ridiculous amount of dough but that's what the news reported. If you were the Blues you'd offload Fev. Imagine them having picks 1, 3 and 5. Kreuzer, Morton and one of Masten, Palmer, Ebert or McEvoy. Set their midfield up for the next 10 years next to Murphy and Gibbs.

Speaking of asking for $$$ the news also said Heath Scotland is asking for $400k in his new deal.

According the papers this morning, the Crows are after a tall forward as well as a small forward. Schulz?

Didak is the small forward they are after as it's rumoured he wants to return to SA. The Crows are willing to offer McGregor, Perrie and Meesen as trades. Craig said it was useless picking up youngsters and not be sure if they would be good enough for the AFL.

The Doggies are interested in McGregor and have offered Russell Robertson a 3-year deal to move.

Sydney are frontrunners for Cat Kane Tenace who is out of contract.

Darren Jolly has given his manager no indication he wants to leave the Swans. Michael Quinlan said yesterday the only club with which he was negotiating for Jolly was the Swans. Jolly's contract expires at the end of next month. The financial strains of raising a young family in Sydney are believed to be a concern for Jolly and, with at least six Melbourne clubs in the market for a ruckman, a return "home" has been mooted.

Yes I do depending upon the position you finish on the ladder.
Last year we finished ninth and took 3. This year with the xtra picks possibly four under the circumstances.

There is no value in judging young players ability without a fair trial at AFL level some take  to come good as in the case of Pettifer,Jackson and now Moore showing promise.

We train the likes of Fiora & Rodan, get rid of them and then they come back to bite you on the bumm.

Last year we picked up 6 kids but yeah in 2005 we only took three kids. Four if you include Matty White in the PSD. IMO just using three picks in any draft is a poor strategy. You're then relying on all three kids making it which is unlikely and risky.

Fiora was no loss. We still have a abundance of flankers and we gained Simmo from the trade. Whereas the disappointing thing about Rodan is we didn't get anything in return for him because of his knee.

If we keep four picks inside the top 35 this year then IMO we'll use them all on kids. The priority is/was all important. It'll be the 5th pick where we have to decide whether to pick up another kid late in a shallow draft or take a Silvester.

Unfortunantely West Coast will not want to lose Judd for nothing hence Carlton will have the frontrunning position due to Sugar Daddy Pratt and his money.This will enable them to snare him. Our only real hope is W Coast not accepting any deals or trying to convince him to stay and I get the feeling that the Eagles do not want to lose an elite midfielder like Judd for nothing and go down the path Port did with Nick Stevens by playing hardball.
Time to be realistic about this and possibly move on to other available players that we may be able to receive through the PSD.
That is not to say that I personally do not want him at Punt Rd next year as like all RFC fans we do but alot of water has to pass under the bridge. :pray

Lets go outside the square here for a second.
If Judd wanted to come home and within reason money wasn't an object, would not he prefer the club he barracked for as a kid.

If we were smart we could get Melbourne and Judd together and if WCE play hardball to hard for the dees, Juddy could slip though to the PSD and we have a few more picks and a ready made player from them for our PSD pick.

Or we could reneg on the deal once he is though and take him for nothing  :rollin

Good point - in theory it shouldn't make any difference. All clubs have salary caps and have to fit him in that. It's irrelevant how much money you have in the rest of the club.

That said, Carlton are known serial cheats. They might be able to offer opportunities outside football and after football -

Spot on.  The Salary Cap are player payments.  Property/Marketing opportunities etc will all be thrown at Judd and they're placed outside the cap.

I suppose we'll find out just exactly what sort of guy Judd is. He says money is not important, does he really want to play for the blues? Is he willing to sacrifice himself to ensure West Coast get something good?

Judd
McLean
McGuire

How far under the salary cap are we. Can we get one Judd or McLean into the PSD.

McGuire from the saints for our second rounder.

I get the feeling we may trade 2.

all three players may cost less than 1.5 milion. Also been told Judd wont be screwing over his new club $750-800k is where it all fall in the end.

Maguire for pick 19 is probably a fair trade but I'd rather hope we could keep our early picks and do a 3-way trade like we did with Fiora and Simmo. Perhaps we could trade a player for another second rounder if we do have to give up pick 19.

Melbourne would want our pick 2 at least for McLean. I rate him but pick 2 should be off limits during trade week. We still need to bring through and develop our own players each year especially when you have top 2 pick. We shouldn't be coughing up too much otherwise we aren't improving our list. We really want trades involving the best players to fall over so we get a freebie in the PSD.

If we get say Maguire for pick 19 and McLean in the PSD then I would say the club has done well. That still leaves us well placed in the National draft to pick our some quality kids.

I'm not knocking him as a player tigersalive and yes his market value would be very high but you don't pay for a small defender even a very good one with a top 20 pick. Top 20 picks should be for quality onballers and KPPs.

You're right bateman. It was wrong calling him just a BP. I would call him more a running defender who can run forward. A bit like Gram from the Saints. In a couple of games each year hurts oppositions on the rebound and snags a few goals. It probably sounds as I don't think much of Adcock when I really do think he's a good footballer. Hey he should have got AA. If he was available in the PSD and there was no Judd then I would wrapt if we got him. That's not what I'm getting at. I just think those roles are more easily replacable than a ballwinning onballer or a KPP and so you don't give away top 20 picks in exchange for running outside players no matter how good they are. Just my opinion.

Ruckmen musical chairs in the papers today:

Ruckman Ben Hudson (28 y.o.) wants out of the Crows. The Bulldogs are willing to offer him a 3-year contract as a replacement for Luke Darcy. The Dogs are willing to offer picks and players (Jordan McMahon) if a trade also includes Ken McGregor who also wants out of Adelaide.

Hudson leaving has put pressure on Adelaide to keep young ruckman Meesen who was considered on his way to Carlton.

Another ruckman Lion Cameron Wood (20 y.o.) may also want out. Before Hudson's decision to quit, the Lions wanted Mitch Hahn plus a pick from the Dogs. Now Wood may return home to SA for the Crows first pick (pick 10). The Lions want a top 10 pick or a seasoned player plus a mid-20s pick for Wood.

While a number of clubs, including the Western Bulldogs, Carlton, Richmond and St Kilda are in the market for ruckmen, Jolly, whose contract expires in October, has not negotiated with any of them.

Is Mitch Morton out of contract? On the Eagles forum they aren't sure.

Those who think he is are saying Richmond will ask Cale Morton to nominate for the PSD and not the National draft and then we trade for Mitch Morton, still get Cotchin in the National draft plus Cale Morton in the PSD. Me thinks we can't do this and if we tried we'd be in trouble with the AFL.

Those who think Mitch Morton is out of contract believe we'll pick up Mitch in the PSD and then Cale with pick 2 in the National draft. Personally I'd be disappointed if we did this. Hardly us chasing a big name as alleged and in fact just a fringe player.

Apparently the rumoured reason for Mitch wanting out is because their rookie Jamie McNamara is getting a game ahead of him. Okay it's only innuendo at this stage that he wants out (started by 6PR and posted on BF) but do we want a fringe player with that kind of attitude  :help.

I may be wrong, but I think you can't nominate for the PSD without registering for the National Draft. If I'm wrong though, very clever of the Tigers  :clapping

Fwoy,

my re-collection of these crazy rules is you are a player formerly contracted at a club in the season just finished (2007) you don't have to nominated for the Nat Draft you can just nominate for the PSD - reason being the blokes de-listed by clubs at the last minute

As far as i know mitch morton is contracted therefore a trade is required. Cale Morton has to go into a national draft first before being allowed into a PSD, he hasnt been in a national draft before - therefore it looks like if we are going to take his brother- then Cale will be our selection at 2.

From the Herald-Sun this morning

Mitch Morton, 20, is out of contract and considering a move to Richmond.

http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/common/story_page/0,8033,22468855%255E19742,00.html

Comments from the Eagles forum on Morton

We (Eagles) have told clubs that we want pick 2 to get Cotchin. The best thing about dealing Mitch Morton to Richmond is that locks them into picking Cale Morton with pick 2. That leaves us Cotchin at pick 3 so that should keep us happy.

After Morton's performance in the WAFL Grand Final - TRADE HIM - was pretty average today!

Asking for Coughlan + pick 35 together or pick 19 for Morton

Here are a few 'possible' scenarios for next season:

Scenario #1 [My rating out of 10 - 6/10]
In:
McLean
Reid
N. Brown
Maguire

Out:
Pick 2 - for Reid and N. Brown
Pick 18 - for Maguire

Scenario #2 [6/10]
In:
Judd
M. Morton
C. Morton

Out:
Trade for Morton 3rd rounder?

Scenario #3 [3/10 - McLean gets 3 of the rating points]
In:
Fraser
Didak
Maguire
McLean

Out:
Pick 2 - for Fraser and Didak
Pick 18 - for Maguire

Scenario #1 would boost our young KPP stocks although I have question marks over the Pies' Brown's kicking though. The Eagles look to have got the better twin.

Scenario #2 is the cheapest option. Judd for "free", a cheap trade and we keep all our picks.

Scenario #3 would give us an instant boost of senior players but it's more a quick fix.

The Pick 2 for Reid and Brown has been doing the rounds but are you allowed to trade new draftees after just one year? Is it simply you can provided you get each kid's permission.

Brisbane could lose two players during next month's player-exchange period.

Several clubs have expressed keen interest in ruckman Cameron Wood and midfielder Justin Sherman.

Sherman has two years to run on his contract, but it is understood Essendon and the Kangaroos are leading the chase for him to move south.

The 20-year-old from Tasmania has played 55 games for the Lions since making his debut in 2005.

Almost 40 goals for year isn't bad for a shocker. Petts is the least of our worries. Our forward can be potent if it's given enough supply. The problem this year our midfield didn't given them that supply. We had fewer inside 50s than the opposition nearly every week.

A mate of mine who follows the Lions says opposition clubs worked Sherman out and he ended up on the outer.

Wood would be a handy pick-up as we still need to find a ruckman somewhere but if we aren't trading picks 18 or 19 then we'd only be a show if he fell through to the PSD.

Hudson, the Crows' lead ruckman this season, has confirmed he will join the Western Bulldogs on a three-year deal.

Meesen, the Crows' first-round draft pick in 2004, has told the Crows he wants to be traded to Melbourne, which has offered the 21-year-old a contract.

Adelaide football operations manager John Reid said the Crows would now negotiate trades for Meesen and Hudson with both the Western Bulldogs and Melbourne.

I now firmly believe that Ploughs philosophy of how to win grand finals wont work. The Dogs are no where near it, and we are bottom. If we recruit the same as last year and the previous 2 or 3 years then we will be looking for a new coach at the end of 2008.

Exactly Richmond do not need to get involved with the Judd deal
he will never come to Richmond
Whats to say he will ever recover from his injury a operation may backfire the first time

Given Miller rates the top 3 - Kreuzer, Cotchin and Cale Morton - ahead of the rest, so I can't see us trading outside the top 3. Pick 13 won't get us a Rance so pass.

Why do opposition fans think we need to be part of a trade that gifts Judd to a opposition club  ::).

Exactly Richmond do not need to get involved with the Judd deal
he will never come to Richmond
Whats to say he will ever recover from his injury a operation may backfire the first time
Richmond needs to breed & bond its own players make its own culture
They also need to be from Victoria so they dont get a feel to wanna leave

how about we just try and draft and sign the best players!

This upcoming National draft won't affect any decision on Plough's future next year. First year players usually (exceptions Judd, Selwood) don't make any major impact on the team. It'll be more those in their 3rd-5th years that will decide Terry's fate and who we trade for and/or pick up in the PSD.

With such a shallow draft, how well we and other clubs do in the draft will be determined by the later picks. Who can find those hidden gems past picks 25-30 on top of taking the best kids early on with picks 2, 18 and 19. The main thing is we still need to do is bring through another crop of kids this year and every year. Picking up just 3 kids will be a poor result.

A trade doesn't make us stupid though, just look at the Polak deal. I am sure we'll be at least listening to offers. We have no obligation to trade, but if a deal too good to turn down came along, that's when we'd be stupid if we refused to even think about it. I have no problem with keeping pick 2, but if we got a good young player and a top 6 pick in return, well then maybe.

yeah just look at the polak deal
we draft him as a backman & he got a wrap for playing well this year
no wonder he had no opponant most of the time & being played out of position
If Richmond go anywhere near the involvement of the trading for Judd it just shows how effing dumb our culture is
Desperation of the other clubs is right jezza
the other clubs love us come trade time cause we the pooh team always down the botton with the things they want & we always give them away & we receive the duds so next year we dont climb the ladder we are always in trade week

It wasn't a top 10 pick but Melbourne traded pick 12 for Moloney for us to get the Ottens trade done with Geelong. Moloney was a highly rated youngster at the time at Geelong but has fallen off the radar since 2004. Sure that pick (Meyer) hasn't come on either so far but who knows if a Reid, Brown or whoever will make it. The other reason why I called it stupid is we want there to be quality out of contract players after the trade deadline. Helping other clubs complete trades is against our interests with first pick in the PSD.

With Robertson staying with the Dees, the Doggies have switched their attention to Port forward Damon White.

Geelong fringe player Tim Callan is seemingly off to the Bulldogs.

Steven King is out of contract. He doesn't want to leave but the Herald-Sun says he may change clubs if offered a 2-year contract.

Melbourne will offer the Crows their 3rd round pick (#37) for Meesen during trade week or grab him in the PSD at pick 3.

Our club needs to stay focused on getting the best result ... we cant afford stuff ups.

We must get a big name player in the PSD and we must take the best players we can in the national draft.

Port Adelaide forward Damon White, under contract at Alberton next season, says he wants to be considered for a trade but Port say he is a required player, and he will play for Port Adelaide next year unless there is a suitable trade in the mix."

Trading places:
afl.com.au

Injuries to key big men highlighted the lack of depth in the Tigers’ ruck division which they appear likely to try and address over trade week. Ben Hudson and John Meesen want out of Adelaide but both appear headed elsewhere, while Steven King’s stocks rose considerably after a good Grand Final showing.

South Australians Danny Meyer and Jay Schulz were mentioned as possible parts of a deal when the Crows loomed as a trading partner and they may still find their way home in what figures to be an active trade week, with Eagle Mitch Morton also appealing to the Tigers.

It's incredibly difficult to land a senior AFL coaching job and you only get a couple of goes at it - if you miss out you just fall away and Bondy appears to have missed his chance - like Royal, Longmire (hot last year, stone cold this year) and I suspect Sumich.

One of King or Blake could also be looking for a new home. Blake didn't attend yesterday street parade when the club was expecting him to be there.

Blake will have no difficulty finding a suitor, with a complicating factor in both players' contracts being that Richmond and Carlton are among clubs keenest to recruit a ruck and they hold picks one and two in the pre-season draft.

Sydney are after Demon Brad Miller.

The Swans also had an interest in Geelong's out-of-contract midfielder Kane Tenace and Brisbane defender/midfielder Justin Sherman, who is contracted to the Lions for another two years.

Sydney believe they will hold onto Darren Jolly. Offered him a 4-year contract.

Hasleby and Freo are still at loggerheads over his pay which has been slashed in half by Freo. So Hasleby could finish up in the PSD.

Mitch Hahn, Jordan McMahon and Sam Power are out of contract at the Doggies. Power has requested he wants to be traded.

i agree, blake is just a knobel, a good tap ruckman, then again, he isnt even as good as knobel cos at least knobel wasnt a bad kick and wasnt scared to put his bosy in and take a mark.

blake has been arround 4 a few yrs now and really, was carried by a good team until king was fit.

imo, if we could get king real cheap for a 2 yr contract, i say why not

One of King or Blake could also be looking for a new home. Blake didn't attend yesterday street parade when the club was expecting him to be there.

Blake will have no difficulty finding a suitor, with a complicating factor in both players' contracts being that Richmond and Carlton are among clubs keenest to recruit a ruck and they hold picks one and two in the pre-season draft.

Sydney are after Demon Brad Miller.

The Swans also had an interest in Geelong's out-of-contract midfielder Kane Tenace and Brisbane defender/midfielder Justin Sherman, who is contracted to the Lions for another two years.

Sydney believe they will hold onto Darren Jolly. Offered him a 4-year contract.

Hasleby and Freo are still at loggerheads over his pay which has been slashed in half by Freo. So Hasleby could finish up in the PSD.

Mitch Hahn, Jordan McMahon and Sam Power are out of contract at the Doggies. Power has requested he wants to be traded.

My god.  Swannies are still trying to top up.

They are really leading themselves into massive problems.  :shh

And then watch them whinge when they do and the AFL come to the rescue.  ::)

From today's Age and Australian ...

Darren Jolly has re-signed with the Swans on a 4-year deal. We were one of six clubs who showed interested in him but he's off the market.

There's expected to be a frenzy over ruckmen until the end of trade week. Ben Hudson, John Meesen, Cameron Wood plus either Steven King or Mark Blake up for grabs. St Kilda is interested in King.

There's also been a flood of interested for Hawk forward Tim Boyle who is contracted. The Australian says 6 clubs are interested but didn't name them. The Hawks are looking to upgrade their first pick as well as find a key defender.

The Roos have looked for buyers for Leigh Brown (contracted) but have had no takers. Similarly there's been no takers for Demon Travis Johnstone.

Geez if you were a tall youngster, you'd be looking to become a ruckman in the AFL.

Yep these long-term contracts seem to becoming more common for ruckmen. 4-years is probably the only way Jolly was going to stay in Sydney.

Day 1 summary of trade week

* Hudson is seeking a move to the Western Bulldogs, with the Crows wanting the Bulldogs' second round draft pick (No.22) in return, but the `Dogs are unwilling to give that up.

* Adelaide want Melbourne's second round choice (No.21) for Meesen, but the Demons have only offered their third round pick (No.37).

* Brisbane coach Leigh Matthews said several clubs had inquired about Wood, but so far had not offered anything that interested the Lions.

* Sydney expect to secure Adelaide running defender Martin Mattner, possibly in return for their second round pick (No.28)

* The Swans are also keen to acquire Melbourne key position player Brad Miller.

* Hawthorn have opened the door to negotiating on key forward Tim Boyle, after receiving some inquiries, but player personnel manager Chris Pelchen said they would not be "pushing anyone out the door".

* Melbourne have received little interest in silky midfielder Travis Johnstone, despite floating his name in discussions.

* The Bulldogs have expressed interest in Port Adelaide key forward Damon White, but the Power say they expect to keep him.

* Essendon coach Matthew Knights says the Bombers have received some expressions of interest in big man Kepler Bradley and utility Mark Johnson.

More Day 1 trade talk...

* Kangaroos are after out of contract Lion Troy Selwood.

* The Roos have also offered a 3rd or 4th round pick for Bulldog Sam Power.

* Carlton and Freo have shown an interest Lion Richard Hadley, who is out of contract.

* Melbourne have put both Travis Johnstone and Nathan Carroll up for trade.

* Port's Brad Symes may also be on the move.

* Geelong indicated yesterday that they are prepared to discuss Charlie Gardiner, Henry Playfair and Kane Tenace.

* Mitch Hahn remains out of contract at Whitten Oval and is considering a three-year offer. It is understood the Brisbane Lions have shown interest, but the tough forward is expected to stay put.

* Hawthorn has put a second-round price on the head of forward Tim Boyle.

*  Essendon's Kepler Bradley, 21, has what looks to be a prohibitive first-round price attached to his future, with Essendon, who drafted him three years ago with pick six, maintaining that nothing less than a late first-round selection will enable him to move.

* Wingman Ricky Dyson received strong interest, while veteran defender Mark Johnson was being linked with Port Adelaide and Fremantle.

* The Dockers, who fielded interest in forward Ryan Murphy and Byron Schammer, are one of the clubs interested in Dyson.

Day 2 summary of trade week

* Carlton and Hawthorn are thinking swapping Bret Thorton and Tim Boyle.

* St Kilda has shown interest in Steven King for their pick 26.

* Cameron Wood seems destined for Collingwood, in exchange for the Magpies' first-round selection, pick 14, which the Lions may on-trade to Melbourne for midfielder Travis Johnstone.

* Dockers like Mark Johnson at the right price and fellow Bomber Ricky Dyson.

* Several clubs seeking versatile forward Ryan Murphy.

* Bombers want a late first round pick for Bradley. They will deal Bradley in exchange for the Kangaroos' second-round selection, No. 32, or Fremantle's second-round selection, No. 24. A third-round selection is more likely.

On Channel 10 news tonight, they said Carlton has offered Lion Josh Drummond one million over the next three years. Another uncontracted player.

According to someone on Bigfooty 6PR reporting that Mitch Morton could come to us in the PSD. That deserves a tick at this stage. Free player- and havent given up anything.

Summary of Day 4 of Trade week

* Lion Richard Hadley may head to Carlton for a late pick.

* Lion Jared Brennan 23-year-old is effectively estranged from the club and the Dons are keen to winkle him out of Brisbane for nothing through the pre-season draft according to the Age. Herald-Sun says the Dogs are also after Brennan but he may remain at Brisbane.

* St Kilda will gets Swans Adam Schneider and Sean Dempster for pick 26.

* Cat Henry Playfair will become a Swan for pick 44.

* Kangaroo Brad Moran seems destined for Adelaide. The 21-year-old agreed to join the Crows yesterday for a two-year contract, subject to a trade being struck. If the Kangaroos do not accept Adelaide's offer of a third-round draft pick, 21-year-old Moran will nominate for the PSD in December when the Crows can claim him at No. 9 pick.

* Fremantle put a three-year offer to Essendon wingman Ricky Dyson. Bombers want pick 24. They are also interested in Kepler Bradley for a late pick or the PSD.

* Adelaide will need to give one of its three 2nd round picks 22, 27 or 28 for Port's Brad Symes.

BARGAIN.  Well done Saints.  :clapping
* Cat Henry Playfair will become a Swan for pick 44.
About right but not much hope in him.
* Kangaroo Brad Moran seems destined for Adelaide. The 21-year-old agreed to join the Crows yesterday for a two-year contract, subject to a trade being struck. If the Kangaroos do not accept Adelaide's offer of a third-round draft pick, 21-year-old Moran will nominate for the PSD in December when the Crows can claim him at No. 9 pick.
I hope we're onto this.

Lol all at Essendon call him delist material and now they want pick 24.   :lol :lol :lol
