I know it's Damian Barrett and this could be garbage but tonight on the Footy Show he claimed Luke McGuane is looking at his options elsewhere and Daniel Connors may do the same.

Good. Will take draft picks.
Jackson can carry there bags with them.
Connors is dead weight.
-
I have as much love for McGuane as the OER board has for Jackson. This, with the Neil Craig rumours gaining momentum has really, really made my night. :rollin
-
Dan conner ::) shows why this club has been stuffed for so long :banghead
-
Connors for some Doritos.
McGuane for some salsa.
and lets add in Jako for some mozzarella and we can all celebrate with nachos. :thumbsup

Wouldn't get mozza for Jacko, would have to settle for mouldy swiss cheese

Who do we have to trade to get a side of guacamole?

Hate rain on everyone's parade here but Barretts record lately is not to good
Isn't this the same man who claimed a week ago that Burns would coach the Dees and bring Craig with him :rollin

Would gladly accept 3rd round pick for either - would help in getting the Maric trade done and getting Morris as father / son whilst still bringing in some kids.

:rollin See we are all pretty dev about this whisper

Im shattered. Love them both but if its what they want then ill accept that and a couple of first rounders. ;D
-
Interesting that Connors wants out. Wasn't he injured all year... :whistle
Swans 2nd rounder would be nice.
-
McGuane has now become our 3rd Tall/backup option in defense. He would some currency. Connors is less likely to go - he's actually Dusty's best mate as well.

Yep, doesn't add up.

So McGuane and Connors are definitely staying at Richmond then. Damn !

Who cares why. Me? I'm :pray :pray it's true

3rd round picks are not worth a cracker this season, so of we are going to trade it should be for players. On another topic Jackson is our best tagger so if we trade him who is going to take his place? (and don't suggest grigg he lacks any sort of appetite for body contact)

I would think you could groom young Batchelor for the job
-
Turn him into a Husband? :lol

Keeping a player because he's good at tagging whilst being terrible in every other aspect is not the path of a successful club.

Jezza is 100% spot on. Jackson OUT!
-
No more McBrainfades in defence. How will we cope! :laugh:
Luke is contracted so he'll only go if we can do a trade. I would accept a 3rd round compo pick if there's one out there. McGuane would then be cheap insurance as a tall defender for another club while the compo pick would end up around a mid-late 30s pick next year which is a decent pick.
Connors could still end up staying as he was injured with a 2-3 week injury ::) that lasted the season. If he goes then he could help make a trade cheaper as far as what pick we would have to give up along with him for say a Maric or Renouf.

Jacko ain't much of a tagger though against the top players and teams. He's no Scott Selwood! :(
-

And he agrees to it ;D

^very true...and surely you can find someone to become a number one tag (afterall, not too many blokes are drafted based on their "run with/tagging" skills)...or if next year continues the development theme, then rotate more of the young guys onto the guns of the league to get some experience of when and where to run...Conc's, Batchelor, Dea etc could all do with some midfield exposure even if they do end up playing down back for their careers - the more blokes you can send into the middle the better...moral of the story is Jacko-whilst serviceable & passionate-is a supposed leader that can't kick, makes poor decisions & as we know is prone to brain fades...dumbest "smart" bloke i've seen for a while...
but i digress and have babbled (since the topic's Mc & Con)...if blokes who aren't part of our future don't wanna buy in - ship them off as part of a package or for picks, yeah it's a "weaker" draft but there'll still be some gems down the pecking order (or at least some shiny-ish stones for depth)...Mc G's back up (at best) & Connors just might be one of those unfulfilled talents but if we can fill a need or plan for the future by shipping him then Adiaos Amigo!
-

And he agrees to it ;D
When staying would mean playing all year at Coburg before being delisted in 12 months time, he'll probably accept any AFL club that would want him.

Jordie did it and got paid quite handsomely for it too ;D
But seriously, if RFC say Luke we can do a deal with say Freo and Luke doesn't want to go then he doesn't go ;D

if you include Moore is 7th in line
1st - rance
2nd - grimes
3rd - post.
4th - astbury
5th - thursfield.
-
Luke will gratefully and gladly accept any trade suggested to him, in the same way as my dad gladly married my mum.....
All we need is to locate a shotgun.
-
l told you Conners has a long term nostril injury ;D
-
:lol
-
I thought the best chance to get a draft pick for Luke was when GC came in last year, I don't hold out much hoPe of us getting anything for him

Add Robin Nahas and he's 8th. In all seriousness would be a better option :lol
-
I'd even throw kinch back down there at ninth so that's terrific tenth in line for luke
-
Royce Vardy. drink driven' Royce ;D
-

Yep his trade value is non-existent now :P. The problem last year was Luke was contracted for another two years so GC couldn't touch him even if they wanted him :P.
-
Triple M rumour apparently a few offers have been made to Luke yet none to Connors. What is going on with that? Confusion over who is who?
-
I think McGuane would be worth something as a depth player to some teams not in rebuilding mode. He isn't the best AFL player going around but he's not the worst either and he has played a fair bit of the last couple of seasons in roles not suited to him. He would be serviceable as the 3rd tall backman in a side with decent key tall backs and as depth it's not surprising to me that he would attract some interest. Moreso than Connors who has only had a fleeting moment of decent form and has probably earned himself a reputation as a problem child after the ruckus in Sydney last year. Disappearing from the limelight this season (whether injured or not) will not have helped his cause and if he does attract interest I can only imagine it will be at a bargain basement price.
-
Ask yourselves on question if McGuane had been playing for say Hawthorn and he was playing instead of Schoenmakers - would Hawthorn have lost against Collingwood? If I was Hawthorn Id offer us a bag of pretzels and IMHO we should take it. Pretzels are good for you ;D

How you holding up tone?

Defender Luke McGuane seems unlikely to get to Brisbane despite reports, while rebounding defender Dan Connors drew little interest from rivals.

If only other clubs were as dumb as us.

No big surprise. But we can still hope. :help

Rival clubs had little interest in Dan Connors or Luke McGuane.

Adelaide I hope are biding their time and Dan is swapped of Maric.
I'll accept the swap if its player for player.
-
I'd prefer to swap Connors for Maric and keep our picks. Huge win for us.
Pretty obvious no-one would be interested in our fringe players.

Exactly what I have been saying Pope.
I am not prepared to give away a pick for Maric.
Player for player or pre season draft.
-
I am with you TB & Pope......
Must keep theses draft picks, give them Connors or Edwards.
-
That's a fair swap.
-
Agree swap Connors for Maric. If we trade McGuane to Brisbane get a draft pick as high we can
-
Nathan Thompson just said on TWR that he'd have Connors at North with Dan's big raking left foot kick off half-back.
-
Conners is not wanted ;D
-
Mail the bastard
-
Brisbane want Lisle and Gold Coast want Warnock. It looks like we'll be stuck with McGuane for another year :-\.

Oh well lets look at the positive by delisting him next year we free up a spot on the list for a pick in the so called super draft.

Losing a list clogger in 12 months time isn't much of a positive though :P. Not blaming Luke but he should never have been given a 3-year contract in the first place :scream.

Saw this just on twitter:
"@RalphyHeraldSun Ralphy, any rumors on Connors on the Bombers radar?"
-
:pray bombers pay overs for one of our fringe players.
-

Well the Bombers wanted more than a pick in the 40s for Houli last year who was a fringe player for them. Only fair they cough up at least pick 41 for Dan ;D.
-
Yep take hi bumers, just like you did with old mate......can't remember his name.....
-
Didn't he just fail a medical at Adelaide? His quad be rs methinks and THAT is the only reason he hasn't been playing for us not because he is no good, because he does have talent.
-

True this forever 1 week quad injury kept him out of footy this year but the knock on Connors has always been his attitude rather than talent. The reason he went late in the 2006 draft in the first place.
-
Wasn't that because he had done same bad poo off field?
Edited: cannot even make the suggestion of "what"without some sort of proof to back it up like a media report
-
SEN said that no interest was shown towards Dan Connors and Brisbane decided to take Lisle over McGuane :P.

Probably the greatest disappointment of trade week that Luke couldn't find a new home.
