Offical Trade Thread

[slappy]

1 million over 3 years I think was reported. I probably can't give a balanced opinion here, as I have no time for McMahon at all, but that sort of money for him is ridiculous.

the most bizarre deal of a rather strange week

the most bizarre deal of a rather strange week

I'll call Sydney's bizarre trading of Schneider plus Dempster for a mid 20's draft pick.

Two 23 year olds (one quality, one solid) traded for a draft pick which may or may not turn out to be anything.

#26 for Schneider AND Dempster.

We should've been all over Adam like a rash IMO if he was going for such a ridiculously cheap deal.

agree but were just too aggressive at the trade table re schneider ... the only reasoning from the swans pov is that maybe roos actually rates the talent in this draft and wants to free up spots. dunno.

then theres wood for pick 14 even with clear question marks over his intensity. big risk given the pies recent retirees, isnt king a better fit for them?

lions get a 27 yr old in TJ knowing they have 5/8 of sweet fa chance of winning a flag in the next 2 years. very strange call. dees lose one of their few decent players. lose-lose imo.

jordy what a joke, the planets are aligning for the dogs.

Found it interesting though that apparently the Dogs were offering McMahon to us in a straight swap and we wouldn't take it. His value ended up being more than we're getting for Hudson anyway.

I think it's prett clear really. I would have swapped Huddo for McMahon but think there is no way we would come to $330,000pa for him. So I can understand the SA clubs passing him up.

I agree - Schneider is the type of forward we desperately need & surely we could have done something with the Mattner deal.

 

[Mad Dog]

we should have done the Schneiderman / Mattner Swap



we may even have got him for #37

 

[johnnypanther]

i may be wrong but i think i read somewhere that Schneider is in Bali on holidays so he may be one of those blokes we wouldnt trade for due to inability to do a medical plus interview of him

i think both Sydney & Brisbane have salary cap problems
plus re Schneider to Crows see my previous post about him being in Bali hence unable to meet our interview & medical criteria (if we were interested)

I noticed that Freo are likely to pick up Kepler Bradley from Essendon for a 4th round pick.

Did he play that badly last year??

Is there any merit in looking at him for a 3rd rounder??

 

[jackster83]

Why would we want a spud like Bradley when Rutten, Bock, Bassett, Stevens, Mcleod, Johncock and Torney already form one of the best backlines of the modern era?

He is terrible at footy.

Symes now also confirmed for Pick 28.

We've been active buggers this week. 4/7 confirmed trades as of right now involve us + we still have Huddo to go.

afl.com were saying that Symes is a Crow, but could see mention of the pick.

Adelaide is making the early running on the final day of trade week. It just recruited defender Brad Symes from Port Adelaide in exchange for pick No.28 - which the Crows had received from Sydney in the Marty Mattner deal.

That's odd. When I posted Symes for 28 as official it was from Trade Tracker.

EDIT: Internet must take longer to travel to SA.

I think we can type faster than those in charge of the afl site I even managed to send a long text to mum
