144 pages in and still not one trade. :cool:
We have had seasons before with complete inactivity is this meat market week and still done all right the next season.
And we more than made up for it last year.
Let's just hold tight.

I have a bad feeling that we are going to get shafted with terrible last minute trade offers on the Kersten and Vardy trades... Seems to be dragging.

There could be a lot worse than Richards. He is bigger than Kersten, and more in the KP mould at 195cm. He clunks 5 marks a game, so he can't be too bad. I think he is more a swing man type - forward and back. However, I don't think we are in any position to trade, and I'm not sure what $ he is commanding.

Richards is well below the pecking order at the Swans, so no surprise he wants out. Buddy, Sinclair, Reid, Tippet are all ahead of Richards when at the selection table.

Now I'm confused.

Was or wasn't our fault they could or couldn't get a deal done?

I think you've missed the intent of the post.

Carlton reportedly stopped talking to Adelaide over the Gibbs deal because they felt Adelaide weren't taking the dealings seriously enough.

I'm suggesting that Carlton asking for Cockatoo in exchange for an uncontracted Tuohy also aren't being serious so we should stop talking to them like they did to Adelaide.

Or perhaps the joke just wasn't funny...which is highly likely. ;)
missing the "not"...
it should have been ..The last time I looked , it was our fault Adelaide could NOT get a deal done with Carlton.. etc.
..and Im not saying its the club just the vibe of one or two of their supporters. They gave us Danger for too little etc.

Yes Im aware that Car reportedly stopped answering the phones. SOS doesn't mind leaving it late apparently.

Cockatoo as a part of a deal.. is just silly..cant see how it would be a serious request.

If we can involve one of the Perth clubs with Kersten/Vardy..

Problem being that Hawks don't yet know the plan. They just assume that being Hawthorn that it will work.
Their plan is to get the number 1 draft pick in 2018 when they are likely to come last. Stupidly, they traded the number 1 pick for next year when it was a definite that they were going to come last. If they were smart, they would have used that pick for Fyfe. Now the Saints will get him with their two Rd1 picks next year. Freo will end up having three Rd1 picks in the 2017 draft and continue to rebuild aiming for 2020, where they will end up fourth and Lyon will get his contract extended by another five years.

Oh and Clarkson gets fired in 2018 for new blood. Sam Mitchell does not get the job!

Trust me, I have a working flux capacitor and a delorean.

The way this is going we will be taking tuohy in the 30s in the ND with a price on his head. Wise up carlton.
