Trade week rumours and innuendo

[Willy]

the Whitey thing has been done to death. Needed to become more consistent to be a worthwhile player for us, but he was was showing signs last year. He has now found that greater consistency and while he's no star, he has become a useful player for Port. We could've use his pace and goal nous in our forward half this year for sure.
Its old news now though. We didnt lose a superstar. We're actually pretty good at retaining our good players. We just dont produce enough of them.

Collingwood has moved closer to securing Melbourne big man Mitch Clark in what could be a straight swap for Heritier Lumumba.

Another rumour though has Collingwood inquiring about North Melbourne's Aaron Mullett, whilst the Roos have organised to meet with Heritier Lumumba.

Paddy Ryder is in Adelaide talking to Port according to Caro. Ryder has told them he doesn't want to leave without Essendon getting something in return. Apparently, one of the names Essendon has asked for in return is Wines. Still deluded as ever at Windy Hill . 

Several clubs have inquired about Geelong's George Burbury since the Cats made it public that he was up for trade should the right deal eventuate. Those clubs are believed to be the Bulldogs, Blues, Power, and Bombers.

Geelong is believed to have asked about Port Adelaide midfielder Ben Newton, who has played just four games after being taken as a second-round pick (No.35) in the 2010 draft.

Carlton are looking to trade pick six in order to receive in return a package deal of sorts from GWS for a number of their youngsters who want to return to Victoria. Kristian Jaksch leads the names of those available or "gettable". The Bulldogs, Essendon and St Kilda are the other clubs battling it out for Jaksch services.

The Blues are also signalling significant interest in key defender, Sam Frost who is the brother of Collingwood's full back, Jack.

Carlton, St Kilda and Hawthorn have joined Collingwood in the race to secure the signature of GWS midfielder, Jonathan O'Rourke.

Carlton, North Melbourne and Port Adelaide have expressed interest in Western Bulldogs key forward, Liam Jones according to The Age.

Gold Coast are interested in securing Brisbane's Daniel Merrett in the upcoming trade period.

Sydney's Tom Mitchell is set to turn his back on Carlton and other suitors and stick with the Swans according to The Herald Sun's Jay Clark.

Geelong have been linked to the Western Bulldogs Will Minson and Hawthorn's Luke Lowden according to Jay Clark and SEN.

All this talent up for grabs.

Meanwhile at RFC... <tumbleweed>

FMD. They must be stoked with our current list or just playing cards very close and quiet... I'm putting $1 on the former...

[Phil Mrakov]

Harry O for Mitch Clarke would be the biggest joke in trade history. Anything possible though now that Pridus won a brownlow

[georgies31]

A bit of worry we haven't been linked to anyone.Maybe they don't want to play with fire again cause big Hammer screwed them  .I believe our footy department hasn't got the balls to make hard calls and decisions on players putting them on the trade table and chaseing them through free agency to.Instead we go and recruit second rate players from other clubs.

[yellowandback]

I believe the pressure place on our list by this forum has made them gun shy

The pies end up with Mitch Clark for Labamba ...how do these pricks keep thieving?  What is the bet Mitch ain't sad no more next year.

[tigers_of_old_1980]

Tom Mitchell would've been a good get, but it appears he'll simply wait for Goodes to retire along with one or 2 others and hope for a place in a side that's set themselves up to play finals for the next few years. Cant blame him.

[peggles]

what's with carlscum being rumoured to be interested with almost every single player on the move....

[dwaino]

Carlton just wishful. Can't trade what you don't have.

Only worthwhile trade for us is shiel. Unless we could get o rourke for a 40+ pick which is his real market value on last 2 years performance then no way. With the interest it will be r2 . Just leave it to the guru FJ, he seriously knows his staff , sleep easy 

[WA Tiger]

My White issue is this, I don't believe we should of git rid of him as he played and important part in the team at the times we needed him and we were lost without him during most of the season, cameo roles or not. Most on this forum said the same thing at the time.

We did the same with Scultz and we have done the same with many players in the past, that's what I am saying. What have we picked up in return....not a lot, have they been better....no, not IMO.

Lets hope during this trade/free agency period we don't do the same. I would hate to see Ty or even Hampson traded and end up making us look like clowns!!! Ty more so.

Em tas ol

[Judge Roughneck]

At least we replaced him with bannfield

Are you saying that FJ is involved in our trading now? That your mail?

If you are then with all respect you are wrong, so very very wrong. His brief is DRAFTING not trading
