Rumour Armitage to be traded home to QLD?

[Matchu]

^^ apparently he's on the trade table according to Mark Stevens. You would have to think the Queensland clubs would be most interested in his services given he grew up in QLD.

 

[Deep]

Should go to GC. Need more leaders

Had a shot with armo and this rumor is red hot. Early days tho and who really wants to play for one of those qld rabbles.

Trade him for schache

We will be ok. Thanks for your concern.

Possibly could be in the same trade with Schache. Dont know if the saints have the currency though. Whats their first pick?

Based off what?

Poor 2016 and an injury ravaged 2017. Bloke is cooked.

Why would Gold Coast, a team that has had a horrendous run with injuries pick up a 30yr old with groin and back issues.

 

[PoppedCorn]

This comes up every year because of the Mackay connection
Armo had serious back probs at one stage, then had a groin issue
Is also signed til 2019 I think on rather decent coin

 

[Coathanger]

Yeah because Tom Bell worked out so great for them?

Youngest team in the comp. About to add at most 3 first rounders this year. Maybe more. Improvements in quarters won. Things should get better from here.

He's not worth anything, would only be a salary dump. I love the bloke but he's well and truly cooked unfortunately, I can't see him playing at AFL level again so I don't think he'll be traded, this rumour comes up every year anyway.

Really hope he can play at AFL level again wherever that may be but it doesn't bode all too well for him.

They have more currency than need for Schache.

Armo could provide some value to a younger club or one struggling for leadership. Really can't comment from the outside what his injuries imply for his future though.

But won't be Brisbane. Fagan and Noble have made it clear they won't be trading for 30 year olds.

Well...Melbourne got better so...Maybe...we can to!

 

[pulpdriver]

Screams of St Kilda wanting to boot the debt off their books. No one is going to go near it. He has proved he can be a great player but has only done it for a year and now he's 30, contracted and has a high salary you'd have to pay.

 

[sobrave]

For some reason i thought this thread was talking about Dennis Armfield and was confused why anyone would be recruiting him

 

[BrennoWookie]

Would be silly for Brisbane to commit to him given his age. Brisbane in the past has shown to be quick to send players on their way when they get to be older. For example moving Adcock on when he was 29.

Straight swap for McCartin

You're probably two years off contending for finals all things going according to plan and retaining key players. You've got the right coach. You'll definitely cause some upsets next year. Could see you rolling teams like us, WC, North, Port if they had a bad day out.

McCartin i feel could be a dud. One or 2 concussions away from doctors being in his ear. Funnily enough schache has shown more in his limited time on the field.
