Trade week rumours and scuttlebutt

[TFL]

Gus Graham is a big unit alright, just needs to use his size to his advantage more often.

I'll judge Gus after he hopefully gets through a full preseason this summer. The bigger blokes more than anyone need a full preseason.

There also are murmurings about two other Victorians in Perth: David Mundy (Fremantle) and Ben McKinley (West Coast)

Alwyn Davey says no to the Demons.

McKinley is a KPP. Kicked 40 or so goals for West Coast. Would be a long term acquisition who is an excellent set shot for goal for anyone in Melb who wishes to acquire his services.

He can play but hes a 3rd forward not a kpp imho.

McKinley has re-signed with the Eagles for 2 years.

However Carlton's Brad Fisher could be on the move despite having another two years remaining on his contract.

Paul Roos said the Swans will still go down the path of trading picks for players. A way of getting another earlish pick possibly.

"Look, it may be a re-building year. But I think we will continue that formula of taking young kids, but also equally we have done a good job of getting players [from] other clubs to contribute significantly to the team."

The Hawks have spoken with Mundy's management in the last fortnight. The Dockers will want a first-round draft pick or a young, up-and-coming player in exchange for Mundy. Hawthorn may consider a swap of forward Tim Boyle for Mundy.

The 23-year-old Mundy has also attracted interest from other Victorian clubs including Richmond, which wants to lure established young talent to the club.

Swans are interested in Jeff White to replace the retired Spider Everitt. They are also expected to make a bid for Kerr and Didak.

http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sport/afl/story/0,26576,24341445-19742,00.html

Eagles will find out this week if Kerr is staying or going. He wants a 5-year deal but West Coast will only offer 3-years on top of next year. There's also a on and off-field behaviour clause in it. As mentioned Swans are interested plus the Saints and Carlton have been linked to Kerr.

Jon Ralph on SEN reckons there will mostly direct player swaps in the trade period as clubs want to hold onto their picks. He thinks Warnock will end up at Carlton. He also believes Mundy is a gun who is being misused and he would throw the kitchen sink to get him.

So does anyone agree that Freo are misusing him and in what role should he be played? Also would he benefit Richmond. Just asking because I don't know enough about him. Rarely enjoy watching Freo

[Fishfinger]

Freo were sensational to watch in round 4.

lol, the Dockers sound as though they're getting serious!!

A first round pick for Mundy!! Good luck with that Freo, the only club that'd offer a first round pick would be you.

The Demons are keen to lure Alwyn Davey from Essendon to join his brother Aaron at Melbourne.

I would have thought that Melbourne would be keen to GET RID OF AARON and replace him with a footballer with talent: his brother Alwyn.

Aaron is a unilateral aquatic performer (one way swimmer) of the first order. SUPERDUD.

Ruckman Simon Taylor seems to be on the outer at the Hawks. Asked to have a "rest" and now can't get back into side behind Campbell and Renouf.

Another Docker wants out.

Adam Campbell has asked Freo to trade him to a Victorian Club. Apparently he feels he has been starved of games at Freo.

23 years old (24 in January) and 194cm tall, 90kg. Made his debut in 2006 and has played only 8 games. Originally from Hamilton in Victoria.
