Trade week expectations?

[one-eyed]

What are you guys and gals expectations for next week's trade period?

Would you be disappointed if the club was fairly inactive like last year with just one minor trade done of pick 56 for Paddy?

Graham Polak wasnt pick 4 for nothing

He might just be a dud like Pick 3 Aaron Fiora

[Ramps]

He could also become a star like Pavlich

True... but I wouldn't like to give anything too valuable for him in case he is a dud like Fiora

I think trade week 2006 will like all the others - we will wait and then wait some more while we are all waiting for the big deal (this year it'll be Aker I reckon) to get done and then we'll have the mad scramble.

To be honest I like most people have no idea what the Tigers are planning (that's part of the fun of trade week  ) but I wouldn't be surprised if we do something out of left field - that is they trade someone that we the supporters are not expecting.

If there is some way we can get trade for an early pick (top 5) then I think we should seroiously look at that.

[Ramps]

I agree with WP mostly its a wait and see, personally I like the way the swans trade, they know what they want, they dont mess around and on the first or second day theyve done there key deal or deals and its over with- hopefully we do the same and dont engage in rubbish, better still the AFL can make it a 2 day exercise to short circuit the rubbish that goes on.

I agree with WP and think we'll try to trade someone we don't expect in an effort to gain another first and possibly second round pick. That would allow us then to try to pick someone up with a trade yet still keep our early picks.

Expect a lot of unhappy ferral supporters

Im hoping that we can pinch a young player or two who havent had much opportunity at other clubs, someone llike a Joel Perry from North who has been injury ravaged for 3 years and could play KP defence

Latest rumour around today is we along with Sydney are willing to offer Joel Perry a two year deal. North has apparently only offered him a one-year deal. A second round pick might complete a trade.

Coach puts his balls on the line so hes the one who makes the decisions, the supporters should back him in to get the decision making right and if they dont like it stiff. All that matters is getting success.

[Ramps]

By the way I forgot to ask, any of you guys think we should consider downgrading our 1st pick, 8 to me seems to be pretty similar to say 20 in terms of quality so if Krak wants to go the eagles would we consider say 8 and Krakouer for 16 and Rosa. Not that the eagles would go for it I wouldnt think but Im interested to know if any of you would support it in general. Personally Id do it for a Rosa type player.

He could also become a star like Pavlich 

I've seen both them play and polak is miles from pavlichs league
there are far better player out there than a polak  to many injuries and no self belief  relies on easy gets and others to make him look good

[LondonTiger]

I am expecting a trade out of left field.  Maybe a player we would class in our best 10 currently?

It sounds bad, but I expect at least one of Soloman or Copeland to end up at the tigers cheaply as well.

I have heard the Perry rumour, but expect Nth to jump in and give him 2 years 

Would love to get another first rounder, but even two second rounders would be good. 

I hope we trade out those players we can, and delist the ones we are likely to.

what do you mean jack?

no trades ?

Yeah that's what I was thinking we will end up doing.

Big question is which player?
