Trade week rumours and innuendo

[one-eyed]

It's that time of the year when free agent and trade rumours start flying around .....

According to Barrett on the Footy Show:

Jarrad Waite has spoken to North about moving to Arden Street as a free agent in October.

Ryan O'Keefe's manager issued a statement saying O'Keefe is looking to continue his AFL career next year as a free agent at another club.

Lyon said James Frawley has spoken to Chris Scott at Geelong and two other clubs.

-----------------------------------

Carlton's Mitch Robinson has put off all contract talks until the end of the year, fuelling speculation he will not be at the Blues in 2015.

I'd look at O'Keefe, a champion. We need strong bodies, who can tackle with great disposal. Better option than Thomas 

[TigerLand]

Would love O'Keefe for sure, although will be 34 Round 1 next year...

[Diocletian]

Out: Thomas

In: O'Keefe

[Yeahright]

O'Keefe has zero leadership, should be retiring for the betterment of the younger players.

O'Keefe> newman

O'Keefe > chapman

Waite at norf would be a pee-er

Seems Dimma is an O'Keefe fan too

"Hardwick did not agree with Collingwood counterpart Nathan Buckley’s idea of a mid-season draft, but suggested clubs should have the ability to move players until a certain date.

“I don’t think that’s quite necessary either,’’ Hardwick said of the mid-season draft.

“I think from our point of view, our lists shouldn’t be structured until say May 1, so you should have the ability to move players up until a certain date and then it stops.

“For example a guy like Ryan O’Keefe who is sitting there playing at NEAFL level for six months and I’m sitting here going `Geez, I wouldn’t mind Ryan O’Keefe in my side’.

Of course Hardwick wants him. He's a 34 year old who's been playing reserves football all season. Fit's Hardwick's recruiting criteria perfectly.

Sorry Dice but can't agree

Would be a good pick up

Far better player than Grigg, Houli, Thomas to name 3

He's a champion player, a gun IMHO and he would offer a lot even at 34

I agree he's been a great player. Hawthorn went real hard after him a few years back but I think that was the time to get him. I bet the hawks aren't interested now.
 Must be a reason he's played in the magoos all year ?

Swans bringing through younger mids now. Heard someone on SEN (not sure which show it was  ) say it isn't because he's not good enough but because a player like Parker has gone past him. Also said he'd walk up start at most sides who are outside the top4

Been in the best every week for their ressies jsut can't get a gig

drafting a 35 year old. Oh WP you never fail to amaze

At least get his age right  He's 33, turns 34 in January

And BTW he doens't need to be drafted he is unrestricted free agent can go where ever he wants

Lets go after Tom Mitchell instead. 10 year player as opposed to a 1 year stopgap.
