Preview Trade Week/Month - Keep it all in HERE.

[zeeCFC]

What about a swap (upgrade for us) of both first and second round picks with WB for Bell.

that's extremely wishful thinking on your behalf.

or just garlett and curnow for their pick 6

 

[I bleed Blue]

Yet in the HUN this morning it was mentioned that Bell was promoted from the rookie list. (Sam Edmund)

I was at the B&F last night and there was no mention of a promotion for Bell.

I would of thought if he was promoted that I would of found out by now.

Persoanlly I really want to keep him and hope we have/do promote him. So I hope I just havn't heard yet and that he has been promoted. But as of 2 days ago Carlton were not budging from the 1 year rookie deal. I would be more than happy for my info to be wrong and that we are definatly promoting him but I trust this source 100% (same source that gave me the info that we were going to draft him - if anyone can remember me posting that last year)

Eddie and Garlett in the forward line are what sets us apart from other sides, why send our x factor packing after one bad season?

 

[zeeCFC]

Melbourne seem like they'll maybe lose Rivers. Would they agree to Bower + pick 33 for their pick 26?

We offload Bower and move up in the second round.

We need Oliver Wines. PERIOD. I just dont see him falling to our first pick (pick 11) in novembers national draft. Wines will be gone long before pick 11 unless we get lucky.

 

[true blue19]

If we trade Bell it will be the worst list management mistake we have ever made. Bell and casboult are the main two rookies we need to keep they can fill the two biggest holes on our list. Tuohy is a good player but we have other that can fill his roll. Curnow isn't in our best 22.

Very odd argument.

Absolutely perfect 4 sentences. Nobody say anything.

No it wont, and name them.

2nd round draft pick?

 

[etsal1]

No no no no no to gumbleton! 28 games in 6 years - worse track record than Waite, have we learnt nothing?

Very odd argument.

You do realise, bulldogs have 2 picks in the top 10 dont you?

Doesn't mean they'll be giving them up
Bulldogs are firmly bottomed out, they'll be using both their picks this year unless they trade them to GWS for a mini draft pick.

We offload Bower and move up in the second round.

Im not against a couple of these sort of trades to free up list space.

Ellard and 52 to Freo for 37 or melbourne 45?

Nah, he is just not up to it.

SNF and Kim Hackdorn strike again.

i like it. had a chat to Ellard last night on my way out of Crown and he's just such a top bloke though. boys at the club really like him and he's solid depth too.

Relax everyone. It's Kim Hagdorn ... one of the great no source content fillers of our time.

 

[BROWN20]

Don't know as a fact, but I do know that anything and everything will be said over the course of the next few weeks in order to gain some sort of advantage.
Whether that be by the players manager or the clubs and then we have every media outlets wanting to get a leg up over one another.

Sources:
Caddy may have well spoken to all the aforementioned clubs and hence that translates to "Caddy has nominated club X"
I was told that we have #11 on the table on Monday and that Caddy is keen to join us.
Now he may have well said the same to the other clubs for all we know.
At the end of the day with all things being equal, we have the best pick at #11 and if other clubs want to offer their second as well, then good for them.
We should just hang on to it and go hard at the draft.

EDIT:
Re. Geelong's compensation pick. What should that realistically be valued at? #12-#15?
Wouldn't GC be better off getting the pick for this year anyway in consideration of where their list is at?

Even as late as yesterday some posters who believe they are in the know were making out we were right in the mix and most likely to be Caddy's nominated club, however this does not seem to be correct at all with us not even in the mix.

It just confirms that there is very little on here with much substance behind the comments at this time of the year.

 

[Blue and Silver]

We could do worse than Gumby. Very talented, only needs time on the park.

Would cost little you would think.

Plus imagine the faces of Bomber supporters if he came good. OH GAWD I WANT THAT

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Gumby is uncontracted
It would seem all we need to do was best Freo's offer and Don's would have to let him come to us.
But Freo are rather desperate to get anyone over to the coast. Look at Clarke last year, if we get in a bidding war with them both of us will be paying overs.

 

[Silvagnis]

You do realise, bulldogs have 2 picks in the top 10 dont you?

They're rumoured to be using one to acquire Jack Martin in the mini-draft.

Garlett isn't worth pick six.
