Trade week targets & rumours [merged]

[one-eyed]

Gold Coast defender Joshua Toy has officially signalled his intention to return to Victoria. The 20-year-old, who is out-of-contract, has fielded interest from a number of Victorian clubs including the Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Essendon.

Speculation continues over the future of Essendon defender, Cale Hooker, today. The Herald Sun reports the Bombers could send Hooker to the Saints in a three-way trade which would potentially see Cripps end up an Eagle.

Sydney's Campbell Heath is set to join Port Adelaide in exchange for a late round draft pick.

Heard an unreliable rumour that Sherman was going to the Tiges for a pick upgrade. Any chance?

   wouldn't get much for him

Please NO!

I dont know why they took Rodan when they just picked up Byrnes.
It just takes away a spot from a young player who could be apart of their future final hopes.

So effectively its Moloney out Rodan in.

Viney would take his place in the midfield I would of thought.
I dont pay much attention to the Melbourne list though.
