Re: Breaking News!!

So, I'm the recruitment manager and every time some random comes up and asks about it I tell them exactly what's going on. :rolleyes:

I dunno, doesn't bother me as long as we don't get rid of anyone out of our best 22.

Re: Breaking News!!

Yeah I'm not too sure why you guys are shooting this down. It is a very viable trade option. We aren't going to get a gun for Callan.

Thanks for the info tomma :thumbsu:.

Re: Breaking News!!

I think it would be more likely that we would be thinking of him as on trade material.

For eg.
Callan to the Dogs
Power to us then Power to Brisbane to play with his brother
Sherman to us . Handy H/Forward

Of course Brisbane does have a ruckman thats wants out. Cam Wood.
Now the Dogs and a few other clubs probably fancy grabing him but maybe if a certain ruckman playing for us wants out( apparently talking to Richmond) then maybe we can make a play for him

I really like the sound of that. Like the way Sherman plays,plenty of pace and likes to kick goals. :thumbsu:

Re: Breaking News!!

I dont think the Power, on-trade to the Lions will work for Sherman. He's a star and had a down year.

It would be like trading Griffen for Brynes.

Re: Breaking News!!

DOnt want Power, dud, well not a dud but not nearly good enough to get a spot in our line up i dont think. Happy to allow Callan to dogs to give him more opportunity but not for Power.

Re: Breaking News!!

Because we've got such a deficiency of pacey goal-kicking small forwards.
Are you saying that you wouldn't like him on the list? Surely you jest?
Outside Chapman and Stokes I would rate Shermen ahead of anyone else on our list at the moment.
Varcoe is still 1-2 years away from being a good, consistent player.
Byrnes is a hack and cannot kick goals.
Tenace is gone and is more of a midfielder running back type.
Djerrkura is a in and under midfielder.
Davenport still not on senior list and more of a midfielder.
We are only a couple of injuries away from not having a quality crumbmer.
I for one think he would be a good pick-up.

Re: Breaking News!!

Have I missed something? Sherman from Brisbane is a gun, Luke Power and Tim Callan are battlers, and older?! I can't see why the hell Brisbane would make that deal.

And Sam Power would not get a game at Geelong

Nobody will be giving us Justin Sherman. That would be akin to handing us the 2008 Premiership Cup.

Re: Breaking News!!

steven wells mate.. listen dont make me out to be a lier buddy im just telling my follow cat fans what i saw!
So what exactly did you 'see'? Was Wells holding up placards (large enough so you and everyone else in the cafe could read) with players names on them and when they got to the one that said 'Sam Power', Wells yelled out (loud enough so you and everyone else in the cafe could hear) - 'THATS WHO WE ARE GOING TO STRAIGHT SWAP YOU FOR'.

Try harder.

Dude. It was the weekend before trade week. Our recruiting manager was talking to a player from another club. You don't need placards to know what that means.

Maybe. I have just seen time after time after time on here people who pretend to 'know' stuff but it just ends up as bollocks.

Re: Breaking News!!

Well we do have a trading history with them, so i wouldn't totally discount it, but for them to trade Power for Callen makes no sense.

Power for Prismall on the other hand make more sense for them i would have thought.
