Trade week rumours and innuendo

[Rampstar]

Champ people who think like you are the reason we recruit duds. We want to be seen to be doing something. Do it once do it right.

Tom Mitchell and cheap GWS's are the only ones available that are worth looking at.

Jon Griffen would be worth a look if we hadn't recruited Humpson.

this is 100% right ... Tom Mitchell would be good for us and if we can supplement with a kid from GWS who has a bit of talent like Miles then we would have smashed this trade period out of the water.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Tom Mitchell is still under contract. 
Sydney does not have to deal with anyone.
He first needs to say he wants to leave and then needs to nominate us.  Carlton has been at him for months as his dad played with them too.
If by some miracle he does nominate us we have to come up with a trade that Sydney will accept......

Mitchell inside mid and Frost a KPD are must haves if we are to take the next step and win a final.

So?

Not in Sydney best 22

He would want to come here rather than play NSW reserve league

What do you mean by so?
A contract is a contract. The guy is obliged by law to follow it. If he breaks it he goes in the draft and St.Kilda probably picks him up in the PSD or a team gives up their top draft choice in the ND. Otherwise Sydney have to agree to trade. They can play hard ball as he isn't critical to them and can afford to let him walk.

[scjhammo]

I honestly cant see and we wont see Richmond make a go for Mitchell the only one I can see us having a real go for is Jake Carlise if he decides to walk out of Essendon that will spell the end to vickery if that's the case... play him up forward with jack, griff would look good....
I would like us to go for another mid as that would allow us to leave dusty up forward a lot more and utlise his one on one skills and have another option like the odd days with nash and duffy

Ruckman Jonathan Giles is seeking a trade from Greater Western Sydney after struggling for opportunities behind Shane Mumford in 2014. Giles is happy to move ‘anywhere’ in the country to revive his playing career, and isn’t necessarily seeking out a move back to South Australia during the trade period. Giles has one year left to run on his contract, but the Giants are sympathetic to his situation and are happy to assist him to broker a trade to resurrect his career. Should Giles find no suitors, he is happy to remain at the Giants and play out his current contract.

Andy Maher on SEN today is claiming Paddy Ryder is going to the Swans with Adam Goodes to retire.

Think we should target Giles

Eddie would be furious

[WilliamPowell]

Think we should target Giles

Agree

Would be cheap

Perhaps a straight swap For Hampson 

Seriously, doubt that it would take much 3rd round pick?

Thats what I was thinking - his currency has dropped so shouldnt cost much and he's a very capable ruckman imv

Swans cannot play hardball with him.
Why would they want him to run around in the twos again if they are wasting 400k odd on him. They need the cap room.
A team will get him for a pick in the 20's IMO. And I would be happy to give that for him.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Agree on Giles but wonder what incentive for him given he goes from 3rd choice at Freo to 3rd choice at Richmond?
Rightly or wrongly the club would see him behind Griff and Vickery as back up to Ivvy

But they can pay hard ball!  They hold the aces. If he walks, then they free salary cap space up so that is a bonus for them. He doesn't go where he wants to which then is against him walking.  If he wants to go to a particular club Sydney can ask for overs like a first rounder and hold out for as long as they like. Not sure what the bidding club or Mitchell can do to change Sydney's mind.

It's not a bonus if he walks and they get nothing for him. They don't hold all the cards mate. They will want to get a decent pick for him and will be happy to see the end of his contract.
