So what your saying is Brisbane is going to give up Polec who was drafted at number 5 two years ago for the spud White and pick 40 something. Not gonna happen
We can BF this trade up a bit though.

Bris gain: White, 20 (Adel), 23 (Syd) lose: Polec, 8 (Bris)
Adel gain: Polec, 8 (Bris) lose: Tippett, 20 (Adel)
Syd gain: Tippett lose: White, 23 (Syd)

Norwood, Redbacks.
I still cannot understand why we would have ANY interest in White :confused:
Am I missing something? At the moment we have 2 picks that we use in the ND. 19 and 54. If we take 23 plus a player we effectively rule out pick 54 but then have only one pick even though we have picks 19 and 23. This means we have to negotiate with a club and trade all our picks for ONE lower pick. Smells of further delistings......I would have hoped that the white 23 deal has stalled because the Adelaide FC would be going backwards in that deal.better to reject that deal, send Kurt to the Psd and at least get 2 picks in the ND in the hope that we unearth a good player.

what about this? bent I know but....
Tippett, 20 to Sydney
White, Parker, 23 to Adelaide
A - the deal is infinitely better without White
B - Sydney have repeatedly said that they won't be trading Parker
C - the deal leaves us with no list vacancies at all; we need one "live" selection to satisfy the AFL's mandatory minimum of 3 selections; so we'd have to delist another player.

So.. no, no and no.

"We haven't killed it" does not = "We still absolutely want him and are just waiting for some extra supplies in lube to get the job done". Have we learned NOTHING from the last two weeks? It may well have been a quote from Trigg, but it may have referred to any number of questions from Rooch. He doesn't seem to think its a problem for taking quotes often out of context.

Absolutley no chance mate.
As I said earlier best chance really is

Adel: Polec
Syd: Tippett
Bris: White, 23, 45

Even that is very unlikely. 0 chance of Polec and 8!

Polec is class. You dont give away class for a pick in the forties and a hack
That's true but it does make some sense. Brisbane were so desparate for a forward this year that they played Merrett up forward with Brown and they know that Brown is close to the end and has injury problems. If you couple this with Polec telling them that he would like to return home and he coming out of contract next year and White wanting to leave Sydney now Tippett is there... Some guess work I know but a definate possibility.
