With this year's draft supposedly very shallow after the first round, you wouldn't trade your first rounder when your pick is middle of the pack unless you are getting a gun

Pick 20 makes you fall outside the 1st round

Yarran isn't worth that IMV

Agree ...

Hence the rumour circling.

Wouldn't give a 1st round pick for Yarran.

4. Scott Selwood to Geelong as a free agent.

West Coast receive a second round pick (#37) as compensation.

From The Age......

"The Blues and Richmond did not advance significantly on the move of contracted running player Chris Yarran to Punt Road. Richmond have said they will not trade their first round pick for Yarran.

The Tigers' young forward Ben Lennon remains out of contract, with negotiations on the terms of a new deal yet to be concluded. While Richmond remains optimistic of re-signing him the fact he remains out of contract with the trade period now underway is surprising. No club is understood to have enquired about Lennon as a trade target on Monday at the opening of trades.

Richmond has reiterated their decision not to trade key backman David Astbury despite some interest from clubs. A deal will be done this week to move young GWS midfielder Jacob Townsend to Punt Road."

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Yep..

actually, geelong gave up what every free trade movement has seen given up..............
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

From BF:

Quote from: Snout
Had a chat to a mate of mine who has been reliable in the past. Wasn't really expecting he'd have much on day one, but our conversations always seem to find their way to list management.

As always, happy to pass on what I hear. And as always, there are no guarantees in life.

1. Carlton aren't getting pick 12. However we are confident that Yarran will get to us, for a mutually acceptable pick.

2. We have no confidence in the mid to late draft. We'd rather trade later picks for players with a few years of development under their belts. There are at least four players we are considering, might pick up two of them depending on how the period goes. Apparently building midfield depth is a priority.

3. Upgrading picks is firmly on the agenda. We've had plenty of enquiries re players who aren't getting regular senior opportunity.

4. Belief at the club is that we've dodged a massive bullett with Bennell. Full story hasn't made it to the media, and isn't likely to be revealed - the club isn't in the business of kicking blokes when they're down. (Personally I wish him well at Freo).

5. We are in serious talks with a contracted player. His club will not want to trade him. We believe the right offer (picks plus player), along with salary cap pressure, might just shake him loose. Prepared to give quality to get quality. Will be massive if it comes off. Midfielder. (And no, I don't have the name.)

So yeah, not a lot that's particularly exciting, with the exception of what seems like a long shot.... Still, plenty of water to flow under the bridge before the trade period ends.

North Melbourne has made a bold bid for exciting playmakers Jeremy Howe and Paul Seedsman in an attempt to top-up its premiership assault next season.

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

The GWS Giants are targeting a mature ruckman this Trade Period. Carlton's Robbie Warnock, North Melbourne's Dan Currie and Geelong's Dawson Simpson are all on their radar.

- Nick Bowen, http://www.afl.com.au

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

St Kilda are exploring ways of turning pick five into two first round draft selections, to try to deliver a pick to Essendon for Jake Carlisle while maintaining a first-round presence in the draft.

Essendon have expressed interest in Western Bulldogs key backman Michael Talia and have also enquired about midfielder Mitch Honeychurch.

Brisbane are negotiating with Carlton about a possible trade of pick 21 for the contracted Tom Bell and key forward Levi Casboult.

On Channel 7 news last night it said we were interested in Port Adelaide's Andrew Moore. Has anyone heard anything further about this?
