Trade week rumours and scuttlebutt

[Stripes]

What do you realistically believe King, Polo, Meyer and Polo would be worth in this years draft?

So you really want to get rid of Polo then, or his brother maybe?   

FWIW, you might get a 3rd round pick for Polo, 3rd - 4th round for King, nothing for Meyer.

I don't understand the joke - is it because I accidently wrote Polo twice? Help me out and what does the acronym FWIW stand for?

I'm not keen on getting rid of Schulz, Meyer or Polo to be honest and, if it was up to me, I would keep them both. I would take the 3rd round pick for Kingy or agree to upgrade our 2nd round pick.

Meyer has been playing good football for Coburg lately and is still young. Port showed interest last season.

If Vickery (sp?) slips through to Pick 8 I will be surprized but he would be a great choice for us. McKennan could also be a good pick up - tall, strong and a natural forward. Said to be a little slow but if he is around when our second pick is avaiable then I would snatch him up.

FWIW = For What Its Worth

Yep.  Poor attempt on my behalf!!

For what it's worth.  My opinion - not usually much!!!!

I agree with Schulz, Meyer and Polo and now that Kingy has re-signed I am thinking we aren't going to be too involved at all but who knows.  I reckon they might gamble on a 'good' big bloke (Vickery especially) getting throught to pick 8.

Word from Essendon fans is the Bombers are interested in Dal Santo. Saints may use this to trade for Kerr.

St Kilda
Receive: Daniel Kerr
Lose: Nick Dal Santo, Pick 13

West Coast:
Receive: Pick 5, Pick 13
Lose: Daniel Kerr, Pick 20

Essendon:
Receive: Nick Dal Santo, Pick 20
Lose: Pick 5

[Infamy]

Sounds like something from an Essendon fan to me as it favours them too much
Take Pick 20 out of the equation and it looks about right

Nick Dal Santo for Pick 5 is enough
Kerr for 5 & 13 is enough

Maybe replace pick 20 with a 3rd rounder instead of the early 2nd rounder

Bomber fans want more than Dal Santo for pick 5. You're right Infamy, perhaps the West Coast's 3rd round pick #36 instead of pick 20 as an Eagles fan suggested on BF.

Seems the Barry Hall to the Bulldogs rumour is gaining momentum...

BARRY Hall is contemplating walking away from the Sydney Swans and is seriously considering signing with the Western Bulldogs. The Bulldogs and Fremantle are chasing the former Swans co-captain and have offered him multi-year deals, according to sources close to Hall. He has told friends he is not keen to move to Perth but is open to moving back to Melbourne.

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,24387727-19742,00.html

THE Western Bulldogs have unofficially approached controversial Sydney spearhead Barry Hall as their search for a big key forward intensifies in the lead-up to next month's trade week. Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade is believed to have communicated his interest to the 31-year-old, who is contracted to the Swans until the end of next year but is pushing for a one-year contract extension he is unlikely to receive until the 2009 season is underway.

While this is not a rumour, there is speculation that Hawthorn will look to trade a few players.

Who would interest us?

Boyle
Dowler
Thorp
Taylor

What are your thoughts on any of these?

I think Mitch Thorp would be very handy

boyle is no better than hughes and hughes is 6 yrs younger

dowler is a cripple

thorp they wont trade

and taylor is only a little bit better than street and we can get street for free in the pre-season draft

[WilliamPowell]

and taylor is only a little bit better than street and we can get street for free in the pre-season draft

Street  no no no

Surely you jest blaisee  ...please tell you jest 

Taylor - I'd live with. Not sure if the Hawks would want to trade him or if after the events of the last few weeks he might want to be traded 

[Judge Roughneck]

Moore Thursfield McGaune
Tambling Schultz Newman
Cousins Kerr Deledio
Brown Richo Cotchin
Morton Hughes Reiwoldt
Simmonds Tuck Foley
Coughlan McMahon White Connors

 - Gives Richo a crack at a proper send off
 - still got about 10 players in the side 22 or younger.

Gourdis CHF, Rance CHB for the bergers
Meyer, Edwards, Polo, Raines, Jackson, Collins bergers midfeild

James Hird wants to make a comeback at Essendon at the age of 36  .

Dean Solomon wants to go back to Windy Hill as well as he's likely to get the flick from Freo.

Collingwood and Carlton have gone cool on Kerr given the asking price of two first round draft picks or one top 3 pick.

Corey Jones who kicked 7 goals against us could be put on the market by North.

Media reports linking former Sydney captain Barry Hall and the Western Bulldogs, were yesterday dismissed by the Bulldogs. Hall, who is contracted to the Swans for another year, will not be at the Whitten Oval in 2009 according to Bulldogs general manager of football operations James Fantasia, despite the Bulldogs' ongoing search for a key forward.

mate the hawks will want our second round pick for taylor

at that price I would prefer street for free.

ATM we have simmo patto graham and putt coming through
if we get vickery or tengrove that makes 4 ruckman on the list developing none of which are ready to play seniors

we dont need taylor especially for a top 25 pick, i wouldtake street as a stop gap meausure for 2 years till the young ones are ready, or better still keep cartilage.

Either way trading for a b/c  grade ruckman or paying 1.4 million for warnock ( on potential )just doesnt appeal

[mightytiges]

I'd take Cartledge over Street  anyday and I don't see Cartledge as much of an option either  .

James Hird wants to make a comeback at Essendon at the age of 36  .

Mentioned on 3aw tonight on the back of talk in Adelaide yesterday that Mark Williams and Port Adelaide are going to make a big play for Kerr.
