If we could trade Polo to the Dons for him and manufacture a pick. Remember Polo was best afield against the Dons in his first game so maybe there may be someone there who still remembers it.

If we could swap Polo for Houli, that would be a great win for us!
Absolutely, would do that deal in a second

Names mentioned in today's Age as could be changing clubs....

Chris Tarrant - Carlton and Hawthorn head the list of interested clubs. Could still retire also.

David Mundy - understood to be high on the Gold Coast's wish-list. Essendon also interested.

Antoni Grover - may be targetted by Carlton or Hawthorn if either misses out on Tarrant.

Andrew Krakouer - Collingwood has emerged as a potential home.

Setanta O'hAilpin - may have played his last game with the Blues, with the Irish forward keen to explore his options during trade week.

Bret Thornton -  could also be on the move.

Matt Rosa - could also be returning to Melbourne.

Chris Tarrant - No.  Too old for us, not reliable enough, won't suit our direction.

David Mundy - Yes.  As long as it doesn't involve pick #6.   He is young enough, good enough and we have plenty of salary cap room.

Antoni Grover - No.  Too old for us and won't be of any benefit.

Andrew Krakouer - No.  Too old for us and jury is still out if he can cut it at the top level.

Setanta O'hAilpin - No.  A thousand times no.  Not good enough to justify wasting a draft pick or money on.

Bret Thornton -  No.  Puts himself out there each time a contract renewal comes up and won't fit in with Hardwick's 'rebuild with youth' ethos.

Matt Rosa - Meh.  Maybe if he came cheaply enough (meaning very late or no draft pick).

Yeah I like that too, allways had time for Houli and was very surprised didn't see more of him this year. Maybe a combinatation of things but this is the type of player you could see a change of scenery has a bigh impact.
Just have to add an extra room the the indigenous centre for a temple and bobs your uncle. ;D

I wanted Mundy last year but apparently people thought we had too many Mundy type players in the team... apparently!! We should have pushed for him last year as we could have got him cheaper. He will cost us too much this time so really unless we can swap Polo and Nahas for him IMO he wont be woth it.

Mundy had a really good season this year and Polo played a handful of games WAT. Don't think Freo would fall for that if anything they'll be looking to a Hawthorn or Carlton looking to give away their first round pick as they are of the belief that their premiership window is either open or will close in the next 2 seasons and topping up is the way to go. Hawks topped up ith Gibson and Burgoyne last year and it looks they are going that way again now that they have signed some of their stars on long term contracts.

the only player who I would like to see get traded to Richmond from all those named is Josh Toy from the GC Suns. Thats it! If we cant get him which is extremely doubtful, then we should just stick with our picks and take kids in the draft,

Didn't Benny Gale say at one of the half time interviews that we were going to be very much involved with the trade period this year or was that March??
