Rumour The Trade Rumour File

[Midnite65]

I'd be very surprise if this was true.

It was only 5 days ago that his management said he was happy.

"He would have suitors, but I don't know where that (rumour) has come from," Petroro told AFL Trade Radio.

"Jason Dover, from the Perth office, manages Zac and I spoke to Jason this morning. He said: 'No, no, as far as we all know Zac is really happy where he is'.

 

[Righteo]

I just vomited a little in my mouth

Hopefully not true, reckon Sherro is a better version of Lucas.

 

[Midnite65]

Of course Zac is really happy where he is now.....he gets guaranteed games for not performing, what incentive is there to leave where he might have to pull his finger out and earn a spot

 

[Danny Cullen]

I don't really see any point in trading out our rare positions (KP) for players who we have an abundance of i.e. mids//flanks/runners.

As Mission Man used to say on DL, unleash the mayhem.

[Midnite65]

who on what???

Maybe on those who say we don't need Brad Hill as we have too many midfielders.

That's probably the worst way you could have done that haha.

It didn't look like that when I pasted it in...

Either way, you got the point and I can't be bothered fixing it

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

My 2 cents, you ask? Well I'm pumped Clarke is staying. Was watching a couple of games from 2013 cos I'm clearly a f*****g masochist, and I reckon he will be quality when eventually given the #1 ruck spot.

We were spoilt this season with Sandi only missing one game. What are the chances of the same output next year? We need Zac, and we need Griffin. Patience, padawans.

 

[MadMac]

I mean who is Mission Man and what is DL

He is one part of bunch of dickheads that reside on DockerLand

LOL you're better off not knowing. It would only be a waste of your time.

Melbourne receive pick 3 compensation for Frawley, confirmed by the AFL

Not sure how the system works. Hawks given pick 17 or something last year for Buddy, Melb get pick 3 for Frawls

They need a proper system in place rather then just picking a number and running with it or is there a system in place I don't know about?

You get the pick after you position on the ladder. Needs to be changed. he's not worth anything near that.

 

[Arcassius]

No, i am studying hard for my Taxation and financial accounting exams. Or not
....and reading the live coverage on
http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/af...fls-trade-period/story-fnp04gxa-1227074447591

What are your plans for after you graduate?

 

[beetz]

ha wow.

Not only did Freo miss out on Frawley but they also just got bumped up the order.

Edit: or down, depends how look at it.

Geez, so they'll have picks 2 and 3 next year. Based on previous drafting they will probably f**k it up

Weighing up my many many many options

All depends where you finish. Hawks finished 1st and got band 1 for buddy which is pick after their first round pick (19?) Melbourne have pick 2 so next pick is 3. Not sure why Frawley was band1? This affects every other club now by being pushed back a pick except Saints who have pick 1

 

[UFO Tatsu]

I mean who is Mission Man and what is DL

imagine a forum where there is less swearing and name calling

...

because all your posts are removed before anyone has a chance to call you out on it

Age and contract size

As Mission Man used to say on DL, unleash the mayhem.

Mission Man was (and still is no doubt) one of the most cutting and clever writers and most astute of footy observers I have ever had the pleasure of reading on Internet forums.

Some of his tete-a-tetes with Total Package (aka Frank from Canning Vale) back in the day were awesome to behold. Such entertainment watching him tear down old TP with a well set trap that Frank would walk into and have no idea how to extricate himself.

His 'voice from the outer' columns on the FFC website were always good reading too.

Purely designed to stand in for a "priority pick". This way the AFL don't have to knock them back for the PP they want cos in effect they just got one...
