Trade week rumours and innuendo

[Phil Mrakov]

If we gave him the same amount of $$$ as the cats he'd come. They're gone

Nope

Only chance other clubs had was to offer him more, a lot more and hope he'd be seduced by the $$$ signs ala Mitch Clarke going to Melb 3 years ago

But wants to go to the Cats and that's where he'll end up

Who cares, he ain't worth $800k a year   

We aren't offering him what the Cats are. If we did it would be a different story. But Richmond don't poach good players, only hacks.

[Judge Roughneck]

Or two

[Francois Jackson]

definately 2 if you throw in that steal from melbourne we got, Petterd or the ever reliable Knights. There's another 500k

If FJ the hack did his job properly we would have some handy 3rd rounders/rookie on minimal wages ready to fill the void of those i mentioned that are stealing our clubs money for producing little to nothing.

bang!

get a couple of guns for big $$ then  load up on kids on minimum wages instead of your griggs, newmans, Thomas's, petterds etc - who knows, you may even unearth a gem out of the box unlooked for, ala Miles...

[tdy]

Just DO something RFC.

Don't THINK, DO!

Theres been a bit too much of that by the Tiges over the years.  Lets hope they take the opposite tack,

Just DO some thinking RFC!

Think, then DO!!!

Agree with Tony M- get in a couple of stars and load up on kids. But don't let FJ anywhere near draft night.

Arguing over who's more incompetent & culpable out of Hackson & Hartley is a bit like arguing over whether it's preferable to be burned alive or boiled alive.

Poor analogy. Its Burnt. The brain synapses go into shock more quickly and the natural painkillers kick in.

Hawthorn’s 204cm Luke Lowden, 23, who has played just one senior game with the club in six years, is a player and a number of other clubs will look at, particularly given his ability to also play forward as evidenced by three goals on his senior debut this year.

Fremantle coach Ross Lyon confirmed his club’s interested in Melbourne defender James Frawley but said any deal was a long way off. Frawley flew to Perth on Monday to meet the Dockers, who are likely to lose long-time defender Luke McPharlin to retirement.

Heritier Lumumba remains in Northern Australia but will return over the weekend to meet with at least two more clubs. They are believed to include a WA-based club and another Melbourne club after he met Demons coach Paul Roos recently.

Collingwood has met Mitch Clark twice at the Westpac Centre and seems prepared to take the risk of recruiting him despite his foot and soft-tissue problems.

Speed demon Johann Wagner will have a clutch of AFL clubs to choose his destination from if he is crowned the inaugural winner of The Recruit tonight. Those close to Wagner believe Melbourne and Port Adelaide are strong chances to secure for the 23-year-old, while Gold Coast, GWS and St Kilda could also make bids. Fremantle has also tracked the show closely.

Port Adelaide's John Butcher may seek a trade back to Victoria for further opportunities after only playing the 3 Games for the Power this season.

According to SEN:

Multiple clubs are after Sydney's Tom Mitchell, Carlton have been reported as the club who have had the most interest after being linked to the midfielder all season.

North Melbourne's Liam Anthony remains out of contract and could seek a trade for further opportunities after only playing nine games for the Roos this season.

Fremantle's Matthew De Boer remains out of contract and could seek for further opportunities after only playing 13 games this season after playing all 25 last year.

Brisbane's Matthew Leuenberger may be available for trade if the Lions can secure Essendon's Patrick Ryder.

Port Adelaide have joined the race for Paddy Ryder according to Caro on Footy Classified. However, Brisbane are still favourites given it's believed Ryder wants to live in a non-AFL dominant state.

In all seriousness, Matt De Boer is a very good player. Good small forward who can lead up and has a good defensive side to his game. Could do worse than look at him IMV
