How many trades will the AFC do tomorrow ?

Noe that IS a rubbish statement ....never happened, not even Brisbane are that dumb ....would have been tongue in cheek

That sounds like a Graham Cornes "I know everything better than everybody else statement" statement, WW.

John Reid did say that, and he wasn't joking or saying it tongue in cheek - he was deadly serious.

I think Rodney Eade said it the best on SEN this week... According to him the most professional and reasonable clubs to deal with in the trade week are Adelaide, West Coast and Sydney, the rest, according to Rocket are there to boost their egos and be unreasonable.

Did Rocket actually name those clubs ?

Yes he did. He named the 3 clubs that he found to be most professional and most realistic in their approach to the trade week.

I thought you guys might've had a crack at Schammer. There was a bit of talk he might've been looking to come home (but you know how it is with rumours), he'd probably be keen to play for Adelaide, Freo chasing Tarrant and Solomon could have been creating salary cap pressure, Freo trading themselves out of the first round of the draft could've opened a door. Just seemed there were a few factors there that if you put #14 on the table and really pushed you might just have been able to swing it. The guy can play and is ready to go from rd 1.

I don't mind Schammer as a player and think he has a lot of talent. I think that Craig would make him an even better player than he is already.

However mid-fielders are one thing our club can actually draft well. What we suffer from is a lack of KPP's, particularly a top class one up forward.

That's why our trading had to be directed at KPP's or nothing really.
