Trade/FA rumours

[Loui Tufga]

This Collingwood crap is pooting me. Treloar and Aish, two top line mids, Howe and who next??

Would love to see Richmond trump them with Aish!!!

There's no way Collingwood will land both without a second first round pick, it's going to be interesting to see where that comes from😉

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....

Yeah could end up very bad for them too if they start trading picks for years to come.

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.

Honestly not the worst result. Wont be a great second rounder if Gws do well next year (which they will) and the pies have to cough up 2 first rounders during their "rebuild". I reckon we might have forced the price up. WP tigers!

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.

@AFLTrade: Trade will be lodged tomorrow that's sees Collingwood trade their 1st round picks in this years & next years draft for Treloar & 2nd rd pick

[Gigantor]

OK folks.
How are these clubs getting the guns..Are we prudent ,hopeless ,or just not interested?

[Knighter]

The middle one

[Andyy]

I suppose when you try to hammer in a culture of not paying overs for anybody it makes it hard to then go and throw the sink at good players when you need them without upsetting the prima donnas at the club.

Good idea when you have young guns coming through who want too much money, but also a bad idea when your team is average at best and one day you might need to actually throw that proverbial sink to bridge the gap...

[one-eyed]

Bombers look like using the Giants' need for draft points to get their academy players, to gain another top 10 pick.

GWS swap pick 8 (1551 points)
for
Essendon's pick 23 (815) & pick 25 (756) = 1571 points

GWS better off with picks 23 & 25 to use on academy players (Jacob Hopper and Matthew Kennedy)



GWS will get No.7 (1644 pts) off Coll for Treloar.

Same deal. Rival clubs all over it, trying to improve multiple, lower choices.

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?

A nice way to upgrade our first rounder.

Would GWS prefer pick 12?

Pick 12 (1268) + pick 45 (287) = 1555 pts

Pick 8 = 1551 pts



Alternatively, GWS's pick 7 is worth 1644 pts. So, we would need to offer pick 31 (606 pts) along with pick 12 which is significantly overs (1874 pts in total). I'd guess we could make this part of the Townsend trade to even it up.

Pick 7 + Townsend ----> Rich

Pick 12 + 31 -----> GWS
