He is/was on AFL radio - said that Setanta and Bower have requested trades.
Mclean aint going anywhere, and nor has he even been mentioned for a trade, according to Greg Swan on Trade Week Radio.
Goddard going nowhere.

Only caught half of the convo....so could be wrong. But someone said Marty Clarke was done deal on Trade Week Radio.

BAACS, they aren't openly discussing contracted trades.

If GWS want Ed Lower, as mentioned earlier, thats an easy one. Already delisted by North.
Greg Swan also reckons the Marty Clarke deal will get done very early. Also said he was always going to go to Collingwood despite Carlton inquiring.
Yeah, but Swan flat out denied that Mclean was ever discussed as a trade option, that seems fairly assertive to me.

It was always a pipedream for any club thinking about luring Goddard.
It just had this "sensationalism" about it that many fans were waiting to see if it would happen, despite the reality being it was never a chance.

Sorry wrong club - two weeks back? As in two weeks of playing? If that were the case and he is of AFL quality he should have played in their finals campaign. Regadless, word is he was horribly out of form and was struggling to crack a starting spot in the team...

What will St Kilda do if nobody accepts trades for players like Ray, Dawson and Peake?
Come the final day of Trade Week the AFL will be breathing down your neck telling you to do something to fix your cap...
Go easy! He wishes he played like me

I prefer Ryan Stiles. A better height for a CHF too!
Richmond would be getting ripped off bad in this trade.
They should tell the others to get stuffed and go after Goddard themselves, not that he would go there though.

Lions trying to play hard ball on Mitch trade stating advanced and easier talks with WCE rather than Freo. Yet according to Mitch's manager WCE haven't talked to him or seen his medical reports. Red herring by Lions to boost trade consideration.
Mitch has apparently stated he will be playing out of Perth - no non WA club would pick him up on that basis. Freo have PSD pick ahead of WCE.
Lions should take anything they can get for a trade - otherwise its PSD and Mitch will definitely end up at Freo.
No you cant.
If the player does not agree to the trade it cannot happen.
He would then either head to the PSD or the National draft.

yeah you really think he will last that long? if he gets picked up by one of 9 clubs that have a pick before freo, what then? how is he then going to end up at freo?
i am not sure why the whole medical report thing is that critical at this stage. if anything, wce dont have to talk to mitch until an agreement with brisbane is made. i think he would accept wce if same money and we have the money.
whats not fully understood is why players dont like going into PSD. not only is it uncertain, but they lose 2 months worth of salary and the preseason training. its not just about doing the exercise, but team structure, tactics etc. puts them behind...but i just think its probably the money more than anything. sure you might get that money back over the years, but it would take a year.
i also wonder if there are clauses in contract regarding going into PSD and whether there is some loyalty bonus they lose.
