Believed to have an in-principle agreement with Essendon swapping Bachar Houli for a second or third-round pick. But Houli is far from ferocious, which is what Dimma Hardwick demands from his players. Where does he play in a midfield that should get more game time from Andrew Collins and the returning Nate Foley?

Polo could be traded as part of the Houli deal.

What a crock. Just another Journo making something up and selling it as fact. They would not have a clue. Believed to have (i.e. I'm guessing) an agreement for a draft pick that may differ by up to 30 picks in the draft.

What a wanker!

The only chance we have of winning in such a deal is as reported by 3rogerD is a direct swap for Polo

I cant see any reason why anyone on here would possibly think Bachar Julio is worth any more than that.

There are 12 teams that aren't playing any more, all they want to read about is trades and drafting. A lot of people are still under the impression that if it's in the newspaper, it must be true. These guys wouldn't have a clue, they're just trying to sell papers as usual.

if we give up our 2nd pick for Houli or the bloody sherminator i'll stuffing spew up!  :chuck

I am deadset against sherman full stop. Just don't think he has good skills and would be exposed even more at a side like richmond, also for 450k per season thats a double whammy. He runs hard.... thats it, not good enough for mine.

Houli I haven't seen too much but his skills seem clean so i'm not deadset against it. However, I sill think that pick 29 for a 3rd round pick thats only played 20odd games in 4 years is paying overs, especially when thats our 2nd pick!.

Mundy is good but is being traded at an inflated rate. He is NOT elite and never will be. Is not worth 600k per season. I really hope these journos are having a lend bc I'd be really worried if any of these rumours are on the mark.

I'm for Houli for Polo as long as it is a straight swap and we do not give a pick away.

Sherman just too many gaps in his make up for mine but I think the media still see us as easy targets and with all the distractions of Eddie Collingwood Ablett Gold Coast  the media have to write some sort of tripe that can't and shouldn't be swallowed. Dimma is not stupid.

If we do go down the path of recycling then he has done no more than what Wallace had done in his first two years. Using the draft first year in 2005 and using the recycle bin in year 2 when all we had to do was take out the household trash and bring the bin back in when the garbage truck collected it.

To trade for a player you just have to ask yourself one question.
Is he better on your list than the last player on your list at the end of the day.
And to that i would say no.

i would have thought tambling would be figuring prominently in trade discussions for either Houli or sherman..Bling, Mcguane and Rance will be our bargaining chips, nevermind our draft selections albeit that R2 will = ~30 in any case

I would go one step further - Is he going to be take us towards and be part of our next premiership? If the answer is no then pass, keep the pick and go for a kid in the draft instead.

For some reason we seem to have an aversion to going through trade week and staying out of it (at least as far as not trading for players especially recycled fringe ones from other clubs).

I wouldn't think we would give more than a nanosecond of thought to anything involving a straight swap of Tambling for Houli.  Our football department collectively are not that stupid, of that I'm very confident.

Certainly am BJ.  He is has much much more currency in the AFL marketplace than Houli, regardless of what we Tiger supporters might think of him.  Its not about my opinion of either player's potential or upside, just about their relative monetary/trade value.
