Trade/FA rumours

[Owl]

Dan Richardson just on Trade Radio

Spoke about Bennell - may change a few people's view on how our club handled it

For anyone who don't think we didn't go hard after him is kidding

Said:

* RFC flew Bennell over from Perth for the meetings
* His actions and those of his management showed disrespect to the Club's process, extremely disappointed
* wouldn't confirm or deny the missing the medical thing
* said the club wouldn't disrespect the kid and give out details as to why we passed on him as he is a Freo player

Once the summary is up on the AFL site we will post it

I'm hearing the verbal offer we made was what caused the lack of respect from the Bennell camp. Everyone knows the kid has been in some trouble but I think Dan the man outsmarted himself with this one. Now he is trying to save face by going on radio and giving nothing and implying it was all the Bennell camps fault.
Anyway it's done now but let's not all think the RFC doesn't make mistakes....

Hearing from whom?  His own manager said he didn't have an offer before the medical so was he telling porkies then or is he telling porkies now or are you or your source making poo up?   Keeping in mind the damage was done before the medical.

Hearing from 2 different people. 1 pretty close to the club. The other with connections to another club.
Believe what you like but I'm told a verbal offer was discussed BEFORE the missed medical and the late night, which might make some sense as to why the medical was missed.
From listening to Scott Lucas (player manager) on SEN "an offer" is a written offer, discussing figures isn't an offer.

so lets get this right.
your saying that a verbal offer was made, but according to scott luvas an offer is only in writing and anything verbal is not an offer?

and on top of that his own manager was a liar when he said there was no offer therefore they couldn't of been upset about the non existant offer.  He actually tried to use this as an excuse why his turd player didn't bother turning up for the appointment rather than the fact he was out getting smashed all night.  This is all bs it just suits your bs inferiority complex about our club.  Bennell is a turd, pure and simple, why the stuff would any club get rid of a player with his skills unless he was a real first class turd?  We saved some picks and half his luck at Freo, my bet is he will be turfed out or locked up in no time.

smart club hawks they really are. Box seat for carlisle now or have 2 first round picks while we have 1.

Thats what happens when you are not prepared to trade out some value e.g conca, ellis, griffiths, vickery.

Astbury for yarran is barely a win

[Stalin]

very smart

poos me to tears

Yes, the Hawks are the masters of FA/Trade & Draft period, they are brilliant at recruitment for success and sustainability.

for one simple reason WAT, they are prepared to trade out and use high picks on players.

its been the cornerstone of their success. Gibson, Gunston, Lake, Mcevoy, Burgoyne. Even as far back as Hay and Thompson from memory delivered them very good picks when both were on the decline.

We identify players like Conca who are worth a first round, yet we wont pull the trigger. I know who i would prefer out of conca or potentially a carlisle.

Yeah I think we should have looked at Griff, B Ellis, Conca and Batchelor as trade bait, who knows, we have done so with no takers.

you seem to be talking about tradin in and out players in the one breath here?

As I previously have mentioned, I had a quick look at Hawthorne team and how they built it.

1 they used their early picks wisely when they were in the bottom half of the ladder.

The bugoyne trade is about the only one they gave up an early pick for.

2 they happily trade what people would call their second round picks. They actually have very few players in their team that came from their own second round selections.

As for trading out, well Surely a team that just won their 3rd premiership in a row is going to have many more expendable players that are worth something than a team struggling to climb the ladder?

GWS forward Cam McCarthy pleads for trade to Fremantle.

It was likely that "some" of the four contracted Giants linked to Carlton – Liam Sumner, Jed Lamb, Andrew Phillips and Lachie Plowman – would find their way to Ikon Park.

The return for trading midfield star Adam Treloar to Collingwood or "other clubs" needed to be significant because he was a "special player", and the Giants wouldn't be rushed into sealing the deal.

Mitch Cleary has told Trade Radio that Essendon ruckman Jon Giles has met with the Eagles in recent days in Perth, and could be set to join them in coming days.

"Adam Treloar deal will be done before weekend. 10% today, 90% tomorrow. Then focus shifts to Aish deal and Howe. All will happen - Brett Anderson on Twitter.

Gold Coast are demanding 2 First Round Picks from Port Adelaide for Charlie Dixon. - Warren Tredrea

Hawthorn's unrestricted free agent Brendan Whitecross has met with both GWS and the Brisbane Lions.

Can't believe we aren't going after Giles given how cheap he will be.

Will be 28 in Jan.

201/101.

Has experience, can kick goals when played forward, perfect backup or even a first choice ruck given our current stocks...

Spud Giles no thanks would rather bring back Angus
