Hey guys here I will update on what I hear around the traps being in Melbourne some of you guys may not get all the mail on the latest developments, please don't ask for sources, if they are from the papers I'll gladly link the article for you. If theres no article then it means I can't give you that info and you will just have to take my word for it.
I'm just starting out my career as a journo and I have my fair share of reliable sources.
Updated September 14, 2010
Adelaide - Focusing on signing Chris Knights reports of him being used as trade bait are false from my source, not really in the market for much at this stage. May jump at a young ruck man with news of Jonathan Griffen's desire to return to WA (likely a 4th or 5th rounder). Have been linked to Cameron Wood of the Magpies who is from SA but no reliable sources as of yet.
Brisbane - Issues with their cap seems to be sending this club into turmoil. Will need to await the verdict on Fevola. Expect Brennan to go with Carlton and Essendon heavily awaiting to bid on his services. Some good news however the Lions have re-signed Adcock, Banfield and Hawksley. Josh Drummond could land in Victoria or the Gold Coast if the Lions can't match interstate offers.
Carlton - Have money to get a decent defender problem is who do they go for, or what age player do they go for? Linked to this need for the Blues have been Chris Tarrant, Mathew Warnock and now Josh Drummond who's best mate happens to be Lachie Henderson keep an eye on that one guys. It's also reported the Blues are preparing to bid for Jarrod Brennan if he seeks a trade.
Collingwood - One thing I will say is that the Pies are going to lose one of their players to the Gold Coast and with the news of Travis Cloke committing to the Pies it's increasingly more likely that John Anthony will be that player. Josh Fraser has also been linked but not of credible reports. The Chris Knights to Collingwood scenario was spurred on by the Cameron Wood to Adelaide trade but this was only rumor made up with no credibility.
Essendon - The Bombers have a busy trade week ahead I think. It's become more apparent that Leroy Jetta wants to go back to WA and West Coast will possibly throw a late draft pick for his services. The interesting one here is Brent Stanton, from my source I have it that the Gold Coast are interested as well as another Victorian team that will be losing a player to the Gold Coast as early as today
. Houlli could well stay on at the Bombers depending what the new coach can do with him.
Fremantle - David Mundy was as good as gone last week with his desire to return home over going to the Gold Coast or staying in WA. Has been quoting as saying he would stay if they wanted him too. Well Freo have just lost Tarrant and now have more cash to throw Mundys way. Daniel Motlops name has surfaced as a possible Freo target, but Freo will not trade a player, instead a late draft pick. No news on Rhys Palmer either guys.
Geelong - The Cats stand to lose Ryan Gamble and Nathan Djerkurra. Gamble has been linked to the Eagles who are after another forward whilst Djerkurra has been lightly linked to the Power but is more likely to go to another Victorian club. Other than that the Cats will most likely keep all their draft picks. That may change however if they lose Gary to the Gold Coast.
Hawthorn - Campbell Brown is going whether it's today or tomorrow he's going. Robert Campbell will likely be picked up by the Hawks as Max Bailey is struggling to overcome injury setbacks. Jordan Lewis is again being linked to the Power, but could he go to the Bombers in a deal for Stanton.
Melbourne - Have been linked to young St.Kilda player Tom Lynch other than that they appear set for a quiet Trade period. Though may lose Mathew Warnock to Carlton if he decides to play with his brother.
Kangaroos - Word is they are keen on getting a forward, Aaron Edwards simply just not has worked out. Quentin Lynch's name has been linked more recently and is growing more and more by the day. David Hale is highly likely to venture to the Gold Coast as he seems to have fallen out of favor. The Kangaroos could be in the market for another in and under midfielder also, one player that has been linked though with no real source is Nathan Jones of the Demons.
Port Adelaide - Dean Brogan's name is being heard across a few papers suggesting he wants out not sure whether I believe that though. Daniel Motlop is 40/60 at this stage of going after a disastrous season. However Powers battle is keeping Steven Salopek who is attracting huge interest from the Bombers with Brent Stanton possibly on the move his name maybe floated come trade week.
Richmond - Tigers are eying youth and may consider offloading Richard Tambling for draft picks as they look to the future. Tom Lynch of the Saints appears to be a target for the Tigers who have (from my source) stepped up it's pursue for his services this week.
St.Kilda - May lose the battle to keep Tom Lynch with several Vic clubs interested in his services. The Saints come season's end will evaluate the need for David Armitage and may throw an offer for the Powers Dean Brogan with Armitage the likely bait with a draft pick.
Sydney - Will be much quieter this season. Will suss out offers for Patrick Veszpremi who just hasn't come along to what the Swans wanted. Paul Bevan could go to a Vic club who are keen on him but I haven't got the full scoop on which club it is.
West Coast - Quentin Lynch has been linked everywhere Carlton, Essendon and now the latest is the Kangaroos. Matt Spangher has already asked for a trade. Are set to be very keen on Ryan Gamble of the Cats.
Western Bulldogs - No real talk from doggy land as of yet Andreas Everitt's name has popped up again but nothing of serious talk as of yet. Expect the Dogs to get a pick in return for Harbrow to the Gold Coast.
Gold Coast - Not going to comment as of yet....
Thanks for reading guys. Will try and update every 3 or 4 days on any developments that I come across.
