just my opinion here..but i dont care wot clubs offer..i wouldnt trade nathan ...i think hes a gun

Our clubs had similar philosophies over 30 years - keeping on fan favorites and the like and then people wonder why we havent won a flag in 3 decades   :help

Agree Flags, we've cried out for years now that we dont get decent picks when we trade that's because we never offer anything decent in return

Seriously, if we have a serious chance of getting a top 10 pick somehow in this year's draft and Foley is a player that could get that over the line then the club would foolish not to look into it IMHO. Reality is Foley is not one of our "untouchables" TBBH

The rumours that fly around at this time of years is 99% rubbish. I would expect that this one can be added to the list.

Spot on, if Foley is going to give us one of picks 5/7/9 or a shot at one of the 17yo's in the mini draft then the trade must be done. Moving a C/B grade player for the potential of an A.

Thats right Wee Will Powell.

WTF do te club think they are,wanting good picks and shopping the   s ch i t t e r s ?

Our midfield needs to stand up without relying on the apple turnover king and create the new core,one that doesn't have a weak link.Only then will we go forward.

With Foley we can ask for plenty without really losing much.

Well said, and there are lessons to be learnt from that, hello Jake King.

We also have a habit lately of perservering with players who showed something but were then cut down by injury, a la Coughlan, Nate Brown and Foley.

Time to start recognizing that you have to be a gun to return from long injuries and still be worthwhile, not just an average/slightly above average player.

Another lesson to be learnt there, hello Kel Moore.
Who isn't a fan of the thinking man's orange Tim Fleming?

In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Axe is one of our best. I'd expect to be very well compensated.

Otherwise F Off.

Tims AFL Trade Week Updates
"Just heard a whisper from a Colac source that Nathan Foley is unhappy at Richmond and could be on the trade table. While it has been bandied about, this is the first real confirmation we've had the little number 41 could be traded"
