Recruiting EFC Trade/Draft Talk II with F/A rules in OP - Billings for a fourth rounder the latest rumour

[cheekyLionsFan]

On our board someone has heard of a possible trade of luey for reid (swans). If this was the case then us looking at ryder (or is it him looking at us) makes a little more sense but this rumor is from very very left field

 

[BrunoV]

Sounds reasonable, if crack is your drug of choice.

Ryder is very arguably our best player. I would say that he is more important than both Watson and Goddard.

He's got 2 years to run on his contract. It's going to take something extreme to get him. Rockliff and Hanley might be a bit much but your first pick would certainly be on the table with one of your best prospects/players and a pick upgrade.

For your sake I'd hope not, Reid is average. I know Berger is always injured but his potential far outweighs Reid.

   Tom Browne ‏@TomBrowne7 2m
   Just to reiterate, as I reported on #7NewsMelb last night, Paddy Ryder wants a trade to @brisbanelions . Shapes as significant trade story

Tweeted the story again.

If he actually does want to be traded to Brisbane then, Rockliff plus Pick 4 please.

 

[Ess_don]

It just doesnt make sense why Ryder would want to be traded to Lions, sure they are a promising young side but with us being closer to our Premiership window wouldnt he want to stick with us? Surely we're looking after him just fine on the financial side of things..

Unless of course its some personal reason like being sick of the cold Melbourne climate and wanting to raise his family up somewhere nice and warm?

I would be so so gutted if the rumour was true, no matter what we get from Lions on the trade table. Its tough as well to negotiate a fair price when its a player initiated trade..

Really hoping whoever this Tom Browne guy is just some flog with no credible sauce.

Where is Ryders wife from? Someone said from QLD but not sure if it's true or not.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

High ball winning inside midfielder who can push forward and kick goals.

One out of five ain't bad.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

Pick 4 and Aish then... redicorous?

Well thats what it should take to nab him.

 

[JDavey]

I'd straight swap for Rocky :3... TBH if this deal was to go ahead the thing that makes most sense for us would be targeting their #4 and someone like Zorko

 

[The Dustbin]

I'd highly doubt Ryder will ask to be traded. Have a look at his passion and emotion the last couple of years when he has kicked a big time goal.

The fact that no one else in the media has reported this says a lot.

This reassures me, if it was Freo or Eagles I would be worried.

 

[Keystone agony]

Leunburger and pick 4 for Ryder and pick 19

 

[Keystone agony]

Ryder's the wrong man for Brisbane as a key forward

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I'd rather keep Paddy and Brisbane wouldn't do that deal.

What? Are u an insider for brisbane...

 

[The Dustbin]

I wouldn't mind if we picked up James Gwilt, would offer good cover in defence on the 3rd best opposition forward - defence skills are sound, neat foot skills.

Who goes out of our back 6 for Gwilt?



I'd rather hang onto Steinberg.

Steinberg can hang around. Gwilt is a more experienced and polished player, he was playing above his height and weight on the key forwards the last couple of years - would make an excellent depth player.

He could easily play all the games that Fletcher doesn't imo.

 

[eth-dog]

Gwilt would be perfect for a team that has a 4th tall forward/pseudo tall forward

Can you not read?

Why hasn't Paddy come out and squashed this rumour, or the club. All very bizarre.

You'd think they would of by now.

 

[Zach Package]

Would only take Gwilt if Fletcher retires, and I don't think Fletcher will retire, so i reckon he's a tad redundant if i'm to be perfectly honest.

Was on most of the footy shows last night, radio all today, strange.
