Your trade week expectations?
« on: October 05, 2011, 11:19:02 PM »
Trade week is now close at hand (it starts on Monday). What are your expectations for the trade period?

What would be a reasonable and realistic trade week for us?

My expectation was to bring in a ruckmen with experience which should mean an upgrade. I haven't seen much of Ivan Maric but by what everyone is saying his pretty much a sure thing to come to us so hopefully he is what we are looking for.

A bonus would be added depth anywhere across the board as long as we don't over pay for anyone.

No Big Fishes just more average types to come in and try and get the club to the finals. We wont do anything decent in terms of the u17 draft either. Richmond will fail to make hard decisions and it will be the start of real pressure on Hardwick. His best solution is to go younger again but they wont do it. Malthouse will be in the van for the 2013 coaching job by about round 14.

Overall we'll be screaming Duds, Duds and more Duds next week. Diggler will go back onto the forums and call for the early booking season for the Rosebud Caravan Park. It will all go well  ;D

I'm just setting the scene Smoke. The supporters are sick and tired of us recruiting crap.  :lol

My guess:

Nason, Mcguane, Graham traded
Moore retired
Gourdis, Taylor, Farmer delisted

In: Maric, Bellchambers

Expect to be underwhelmed

no mini draft picks
no pre-listed player trades
overpay for f/s morris
a few duds out
a few speculative duds in
a flakey range of draft picks left at the end of the week

 :gotigers
 :sleep

I don't see why. You're all talking yourselves into being upset before anything has actually happened.  ???
