Trade week rumours and innuendo

[tiga]

rfc are also known to be circling Jon o rourke 

For lids and a swap of 1st round draft picks Bo?

no you idiot  ..o rourke has played the season out in neafl ...r2 pick likely , our first offer was r3...we re likely to have a spare r2 with a queue forming for donut 

Bollocks! O'Rourke played 8 games for GWS this season, 6 of them in a row (Rounds 17-22) in the second half of the season. Makes me wonder how solid your mail is if you can't even get a players stats right. 

For those interested in knowing from someone who has actually watched him play, he is still a bit light on but has shown some ability. Still some more development required but he could be a good pickup. Exactly the same build as Lachie Whitfield

Ch 7 news tonight had vision of GWS heavies including Leon Cameron meeting with Paddy Ryder at his manager's office.

Nathan Buckley told ABC Grandstand this afternoon that he's had a couple of chats with Mitch Clark. He's confident that Clark's in the right head space and would love him at Collingwood next year. It is understood that Clark has committed to Collingwood, with the key forward already utilising the Westpac Centre's facilities.

Nick Malceski, when interviewed today at the Swans recovery session, has given his strongest indiciation yet that he will remain at Sydney in 2015.

Please Richmond use the draft to get talented youngsters to the club ,but go out and get a superstar who can make a real difference ...no more discarded hacks

You may disappointed as Big Footy's most reliable snout C4[2]Yo`DooR has just said we're into Ahmed Saad.

Here's the link:

"Tigers showing considerable interest in Ahmed Saad."

Why do we need to be seen chasing everyone.
Have of these so called trades won't happen.
Settle petals.

[Phil Mrakov]

Ahmed Sadd  poor mans Sam Lloyd

Maybe, I am more interested in our drafting of young talent.
We don't appear to be getting a big fish in trade or FA so I'm interested in how many picks in National Draft (hoping for 4 or 5) and as long as we have another 2-3 rookies under 21 then the other couple of rookie spots can be speculative.

Ahmed Sadd  poor mans Sam Lloyd

We should give him Justin Charles' old jumper!

Happy to chase O'Rourke but would be a shame to loose Donut.

Seriously would you loose 1 second of sleep if we lost Donut? A nothing player IMO. Small, slow, not great skills, just your typical average twos player.

Donut is McDonough right?

[camboon]

Yep

Um maybe you should look at our list again or at the very least go and watch out last game against Port..

Well he is small, slow? - average I would think, not great skills? - he would posses the best kicking skills on the list , average twos player - I think he is an average AFL player that can improve.

My opinion only, I would keep him.

Barrett said James Frawley is hanging off making a decision until after the Grand Final as he wants to sit down with Hawthorn. Geelong are still the favourites but Hawthorn "are right in it". As Frawley is deciding between Hawthorn, Geelong and Freo, he's clearly weighing up going to a club who will be pushing for a flag next year.

This is the same Port that took the Hawks to a whisker of crashing out of the GF at the MCG after comfortably accounting for Dockers at Subi.
Port are very good WAT, we need to be smart and strategic to improve our list.
Chasing everyone was what got us into the poo in the Wallace era.

wrong

it was our pathetic showing in the 2004/2005/2006 drafts that sent us back years in the wallace era.

Brown was a good get because he was quality.

We are in dire need of quality players, either through the draft or within our own but that wont happen until we sack those bums we have in office now pretending to be recruiters and developers

[Penelope]

yep, correct for once.  9 picks inside the top 30, only 3 still on the list.
18 picks overall, only 3 on the list still.

just goes to show that using the draft doesn't work.......
