Trade Period: Day One tidbits/SEN reported Otto deal

[Fwoy3]

Huddo from SEN just mentioned that the five way deal has fallen thru at this stage. Currently the trade just involves us receiving picks 12 and 16 for Ottens. No trade for pick 9 or Zantuck yet.

Beat me to it Fwoy.

Huddo also said that Freo, St Kilda & Richmond are talking about Simmonds & Black. He reckons that things are a bit "strained, narky, aganst" in the room

 

[Jackstar]

Wouldnt be too concerned. All other clubs have been told to but out.
This will all be sorted out soon.

[Disco]

Lets get this over and done with, take 12, 16 and grab a geelong player with some pace.

As for zantuck surely sheedy can offer us a second round?

[Fwoy3]

and Jack, my sticking point with the whole deal was that there is no need to throw in pick 36 for the deal. I understand that Carlton has given up pick 9, but they have already been fairly compensated with picks 12 and 20 as well as Harding.

I would push for 12, 36 and Harding only, but that would be greedy

What times the deadline 2 o'clock?

[H Tiger]

Once Geelong had shown a willingness to part with one of its fleet of capable young midfielders, the Ottens trade gathered momentum yesterday.

 Moloney is understood to have accepted the trade, having reacted emotionally when an upset Mark Thompson informed him that he was earmarked as the sacrificial Cat.

Give me a break. Is it any wonder that Geelong hasn't been able to get any players for years. What a joke.

If we get picks 9, 16 & 25 - I;ll be happy because we get rid of Ottens and Zantuck. It also means we can only give Freo pick 25 for Simmonds seeing they are now desperate to trade for him because they want Black.

The dills at Freo should have taken pick 20 on Monday when they had the chance. 

Why give them 25? Stuff Freeo, I don't hate them, but why should the tigers be a charity organisation? Take Simmonds in the PSD & Draft Gilbee or P Bowden with a late pick in the draft.

25 could pick up a very good player if we are lucky, S Black and Cogs were drafted in the twenties.

Any opinions?

[Fwoy3]

Gilbee is under contract, so we can't draft him...We could trade a pick for Bowden and t=still take Simmonds in the PSD 

[om21]

We should give up a pick for Simmonds that way we keep our Pick 1 available for whoever is there....be it Bowden or whoever is available.

[Disco]

There's still a stack of decent talent that is out of contract and Im sure GM will weave some magic and get some decent talent to the tigers in the PSD.

I'd give a second rounder for simmonds to have that first pick for bowden. Its a win win which ever way you look at it!

[H Tiger]

I know P Bowden is tall but he hasn't done much. I hope GM doesn't trade for him.

 Joel may not be able to handle him getting booed as well. (I've actually never disliked Joel as much as the average Tiger fan).

I wouldn't trade for Gilbee either.

Keep the picks Tigers!

I would trade for Simmonds and like om21, suggested keep our number 1 pick in the PSD - we don't know who will be available. For example young Salopek from Port is out of contract - if he doesn't re-sign he would be available. Ditto P Bowden.

I couldn't see Patrick Bowden being availbel in the 2nd round of the PSD to be honest

Gilbee is under contract, so we can't draft him...We could trade a pick for Bowden and t=still take Simmonds in the PSD

I'd ratrher pick up Bowden for nothing

[WilliamPowell]

Huddo reporting that Zantuck & Harding deal has fallen through. Looks like ty maybe staying

Sheedy where are you 

[Fwoy3]

Less than 2 hours to go 

[Harry]

Miller's persistance on a top 10 pick will backfire.  We will get Jack poo and won't have any time for any other deals.  All that will happen is that we trade Ottens for pick 12 and 16 and thats ALL !!

If we give up pick 20 for Simmonds, then I'll spew unless he has someone like Salopek lined up for the PSD.  

Might aswell keep Zantuck as Harding is a total gimp.
