Is anyone else concerned or curious. Trade week fast approaching and absolutly zero to be heard about the futures of
Adam Mcphee - nothing at all official
Jason Laycock - nothing for a few weeks.
Jason Johnson -other than Sheeds quick comment the other day about him maybe getting a two year deal.
Keplar Bradley - nothing
Courtney Johns - nothing
Jay Nash - mentioned in the young leaders tour of Japan but no contract news.
Andrew Lee - nothing
Dean Soloman - nothing for 3 or 4 weeks.
Damian Peverill - nothing other than Pevs comments around 6 weeks ago.

Obviously we wont here much about Bolts, Reynolds, Carts, Henno and co until virtually trade week or just after just incase some sort of miracle happens and we get someothing for them but a few of the top listed players are a concern. The other concern is the longer it takes to sign the likes of Mcphee and Bradley the more chance we end up being stuck with Bolton :mad:
 
Its almost like the calm before the storm... The lack of activity may also have to do with the players going on their end of season footy trip.

I mentioned this in the trade thread a few days ago, but with Sheedy mentioning 7 to 8 players leaving at the end of the year that it seems likely we will trade an established player. Whom, I would have no idea. I also feel Sheedy is putting out his feelers about who we could possibly get to the club, ie his visit to Perth and previous comments he has made about speaking to any or all uncontracted players in the Comp.

Just a random thought... maybe we are just too eager for trade news because we have known we will not make the finals since well May. That has been quite a while to ponder trades, delisting, recruiting etc. I know I have been doing my head in, particularly when the one millionth Aker or Gibbs/Hansen/Gumbleton thread is started...

Also, another random thought, until last year we had 7 straight years of Finals. Maybe we are still simply not used to completing player contracts in September.

Final thought: I need a beer!

I think Mcphee or Solly might be gone.

No way we will let McPhee go we all know what he is capable of, and i think Solly has signed on 4 a year so somebody said on here but not too sure about that one, although hes not the one we need to worry about signing quickly as long as we get McPhee to sign the dotted line
 
I gotta feeling Nash will stay..for some reason I thought he signed a contract already...I wouldn't mind him doing so!

Kepler Bradley...hmm has his moments,
but then again almost the whole team had their moments this season.
I'm glad Solly only signed on for another year...he hadn't exactly pulled his socks up this year and needs to be disciplined.

I suppose we can only wait and see what is put forward in the draft period..
I must admit..I am excited! But lets hope they make the right decisions! :)

BRING ON 07!

DUDE, don't ****ing do that! :mad: Quickly read through it and thought you said he'd signed for 4 years :thumbsdown:

Yeah, I think he signed for 1 year (still too long in my opinion)

it says 4 A year not 4 years mate, get a grip.

And i think welsha and laycock are in trouble also. I don't understand everyones opinion on welsh, sure he gets the ball from fletchers kick ins but he will always be a backman and nothing else, he is far to loose and his oppnent gets as much damaging ball as himself, however his opponent usually does something with it wheras his disposal usally goes to the opposition. You have to trade something with potential to gather something, i mean guys its not like we expect to trade henneman for a 2/3 rounder is it???

think about the times with your head and not your heart
 
Welsh is a strange one. Played midfield and I believe he captained the Calder Cannons when they won a flag.

He doesn't seem to run very fast, always seems to take shorter steps and not strides, and his kick isn't very penetrating.

I always rated him but the idea of a trade isn't out of the question.

I think it was a valid complaint, I also accidently read the original post as 4 years before realising my mistake moments later.

I think the point is why type '4' instead of 'for' ?? Are you really saving a lot of time there :confused:

This is not an sms, it's an internet forum. I don't mind the occasional typos, but typing 4 instead of for is a bit ridiculous.

yeah i think i realised that.

and by the way, your handle sucks (as did blumfield)

oh your a good red and black supporter bagging a premiership star, he almost won a norm smith for us, gee wonder what heights u go to find a good solid player.

and my name thread was implied as a joke with a mate last year when thought blumfield would be a given another chance, instead they went with campo and i still dont believe it was the correct decision. however i cant be bothered changing my name. so blumfield remains, on record Salmon was my fav player.

and why does the thread suck?? why do u think we can actually get something for nothing?

And if Ricky Nixon has any credibility, looks like Dodoro plonked D.Hille on the trade table in 2003. Strange thinking, and he's still at the club.
