Possible Trades for 2001

[Shinboners]

Well, we've got a father-son rule, so why not a brother-brother rule? What could you get? Who could get reunited?

Anthony Stevens and his younger brother (who's at Port)
Nick and Ben Holland.
Brad and Craig Sholl.
David Clarke (Geelong) and his brother (who's at Hawthorn)
The two Houlihan boys, one at (guess where...Geelong) and the other at Carlton.
Byron and Marcus Pickett.

There must be more.....

O'Loughlin is contracted to 2002 the only name player uncontracted at the end of the year is Schwass.

In regards to our list, perhaps we could delist or trade 17 players from last nights debacle in the hope of picking up some players that show some HEART.

I might also suggest sending Hayden Kennedy, Troy Burton and Michael Avon off to the country for a few weeks. Preferably to Hepburn or Dunnstown!

Yes, we were playing a great football side. However I didn't think that they even had to get out of second gear for most of the game.

On the positive side, we FINALLY get to play at a venue away from Colonial Stadium. Even if it is Subiaco!

The brother Brother rule is a bad idea, Clubs would start drafting duds from C grade amateurs knowing that the younger brother was coming up.

The brother/brother rule would be interesting... here in Adelaide we have Troy and Shane Bond, Brett and Roger James and Nathan and Scott Bassett all playing for either the Crows or the Power. Pity their poor parents when the Showdowns come up.

I reckon Troy would like to go back to Port and play for the Power, but his life as an AFL player is growing shorter each week, with injuries and attitude probs. Don't know about Roger James, but he comes from Norwood, which is an old rival of Port, and Scotty Bassett tried to come to the Crows at the end of 99, but due to some technical problem with the draught, and contract arrangements, he had to stay with the Power, where he hasn't played a game. He is due for his first run on Sunday against the Kangaroos.
