No trades?

[Sailor]

One thing I have enjoyed about the Judd circus is that we have been spared the negative trade rumours that seem to grow like mushrooms at this time of year.
So if everyone can stay away from the Eagles left overs for a few more days.
PS: this is not meant to encourage the lunatic fringe.

Yeah - I reckon we'll be fairly inactive next week... unless they decide to pull the trigger on Murphy, which is no certainty.

What concerns me is that if the Toasters get pick 3 and another top 6 pick (if Carlton can work something out with melbourne / bulldogs / essendon)... then both of the gun WA midfield prospects in Palmer and Masten will be sucked into the darkness and we will miss out on them both. Hopefully one of them will slide to us.

I just hope the Judd trade gets done early in the week without all the other clubs afraid to move incase they are brought into the biggest trade of all time.

well... at least there is still the young rioli, ebert or even selwood if we can't get our midfielders..... there will surely be one quality player left when we get our turn. If we can't get Palmer or Masten, we'll still have a chance at one of them.

I think Ebert would be good, if he was a horse he would have great blood lines! Papa Pavlich could take him under his wing.

There doesn't seem to be anyone asking for a trade this season either - possibly a show of confidence and belief in the coaching staff? Essendon players and supporters all suggest that Harvs is a 'players' coach, and so far, it would seem that he is the same at Freo.

West Coast want Cotchin!!!!!!!

True (although Cotchin's old man certainly doesn't want them!). But if the best pick they get is pick 3, he might be gone.

Unless Richmond trade for Mitch Morton, and then take Cale with pick 2; leaving Cotchin for the weagles at #3.

Aah... who knows - things never go quite according to expectations on draft day. But Ebert / Rioli would still be a good get at #7... if Masten and Palmer are both gone.

I can't see that happening. Carlton and West Coast will probably be miles apart on Monday. The eagles will want 1 and 3, Carlton will offer 3, 20 and Kennedy. Big difference there.

Cotchin's Dad has come out and said what a lot of parents are fearful of- coming to the SLIME and the potential off field baggage. Cotchin will do a judd and be gorn in 3yrs back home.

I'm quite hopeful that we will make it through the trade period without being linked to a high profile trade. Particularly now Hase has signed up for two more.

My dream is we have a very quiet trade period then pick up Masten or Palmer at the draft. Hopefully Masten and Palmer are currently dogging it down at the draft camp.

Masten has OP and can't run.

Masten has OP and can't run.

That rumour alone might see him wearing purple. Fingers crossed.
