Trade week targets & rumours? [merged]

[Loui Tufga]

I have a mate who is in the inner sanctum of North that says we are into Scotty Thompson big time. Apparently he has put off all contract talks with North till after the season.......

RE Bate, the kid can play and has plenty of upside (I think his development has been hindered at Melbourne) but I'm not sure he is a fit for us and I wouldn't want to give  to much for him, straight swap for Morton.......

[Hellenic Tiger]

Sorry Jake, I don't rate Bate at all.

Bate does not fill any need and is a list clogger at Melbourne.
Don't rate him.

He is one of the best performed players going around in the VFL who has been hard done by at the Demons.
You might find we have already sounded him out .

If we have then it just reaffirms my belief that Craig Cameron is a terrible list manager and we are a half way house for a Melbourne players.

Would not consider Bate regardless of how good he is at VFL level. That's just crazy. Would rather spend our resources elsewhere. Bate is a list clogger and has not set the world on fire at AFL level.
We need to get rid of list cloggers and replace them with fresh talent rather than replace them with list cloggers from other clubs.

[Jackstar is back again]

What's funny is that Houli Grigg and Miller were all regarded as list cloggers at the end of last year(houli 4 games last year).

[TigerTimeII]

says more about their old teams than the players themselves
well done to those three

[Penelope]

gee if the Carlton forums react to loosing a list clogger in the way they did with Grigg, imagine what would happen if they lost a player they rated

Surprising, wouldn't have thought a key defender was a priority unless they are planning to shift Astbury forward.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Maric will be going to Tigerland (if the deal gets done).

You serious? Bate for Morton? No chance in hell, Morton is so much better its not funny.

Is this a mass debate on how we rate Bate? 

Maybe a change of scenery might be good for him. I'd take a look. Can kick and takes a strong mark. Look what Miller has done for our forward structure.

People could easily make an argument that Miller & Grigg are not long term players. Miller will be retired soon and Grigg cant kick.

"Justin Westhoff & Andrew Moore re-sign with Port, following Alipate Carlile and Trengove - Butcher the big one, with talks due today."

Westhoff is a good get for Poort.

That means there is absolutely no chance he'll play for us 

[Owl]

I like your logic Wayne, I think you maybe onto something lol

Morre was the player I wanted most out of Port even above Butcher.
