TRADE TEASER
BRAD OTTENS to ADELAIDE for picks No.8 and 24 plus BRENT REILLY

The coat-tuggers are still jumping out of trees to say Brad Ottens, 24, will return to Adelaide. With Matthew Clarke nearing the end, and the Crows also needing key forwards, that is the most likely mix.

What would the Tigers require?

Adelaide would be happy to give up its first two picks (No.8 and 24) and probably a player.

Young defender Brent Reilly from Gisborne might appeal.

by Jon Anderson

(direct quote)

This is ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE. Not only would we sacrifice 3 years of rebuilding we would be the 'bitch' of the AFL if this were to occur.

Let me tell you now people; Brad Ottens is a required player at the RFC and even if he wanted to come home there is no way that the Club would consider such a ridiculous proposal.

Ottens we DO NOT need. We need midfielders and a rookie ruckman and the Club WILL NOT TRADE draft picks unless we pick up young fellas through trade, such as we have been discussing on our Board.

Rucci is bad for rumour-monging; Anderson must be his step-brother.

 

[DaveW]

I assume Anderson is a Richmond supporter.

i want some of what anderson is smoking!!!

 

[mymansyd]

Utterly ludicrous article by Mr. Anderson. Me thinks he's a bit of a tugger.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

What a load of crap....thats all I need to say really!

Utterly ludicrous article by Mr. Anderson. Me thinks he's a bit of a tugger.

Agreed mms but most people in Adelaide wouldn't bother buying the Herald-Sun so I felt the need to share Melburnian stupidity with Adelaide credibility (minus Rucci!).

There are a select few that post with knowledge here; most don't. I like to make them feel that 'they are not alone'; there are aliens elsewhere!!

as long as u pass it around after...

seriously what a tool bag Anderson is...

 

[tribey]

I'm surprised he didn't try to offload Fiora on us.

 

[conVINCEd]

I'm surprised he didn't try to offload Fiora on us.

Surprised, or disappointed?

I wouldn't trade Reilly on his own for Ottens.

 

[lozstar]

Those rumours of Ottens coming to Adelaide are just as stupid as the ones about McLeod going to Collingwood.

get over Ottens, he's not worth what Richmond would want for him..Which would be WAY too much.

 

[Mad Dog]

this c rap doesn't even deserve a posted reply.........

Doesn't this Anderson dweeboid only right a column about 10 pages in from the back??? - all about scuttlebut around town...?? not even a principle footy writer I don't think

The snippet I posted was included in a wrap-up of Richmond's season. Anderson is obviously doing wrap-ups of AFL team finishes, starting from the bottom up.

Look forward to his wrap-up of our season.

 

[meh]

talk about crap. all i have to say is......MEH

 

[Fall Out Boy]

I assume Anderson is a Richmond supporter.

He's a Geelong supporter actually.

John Anderson should be working for either one of the Addy's, Adelaide or Geelong. That's his level.

Trade was ludicrous.

 

[Stiffy_18]

Isn't this one a classic

Seriously how stupid does he think we are. We have said a number of times that Adelaide will keep its picks unless we trade up in the draft or trade them for a young gun. Ottens ain't young and we would be stupid to give Richmond whats suggested in the article.

Pick 8, 24 and Brent Reilly. That bloke is on some seriously strong stuff. Word of advice, stop sniffing petrol son

 

[Portia]

Yeah, how stupid is he? Anyone would think that Ottens was Wayne Carey or something.

 

[Bomaz_Magic]

The Herald Sun is somewhat of a joke here in Melbourne, as are most of its subscribed readers, just have a look at their 'exclusive' yesterday about the Greens implementing new policy with the aim of:

Driving Farmers from their land
Making people eat less meat and more vegetables
Make everyone ride a bike.

Seriously, if its in The Sun keep going.

 

[Jars458]

Yeah, how stupid is he? Anyone would think that Ottens was Wayne Carey or something.

How very droll.

This is EXACTLY what i mean about sensationalism. People that have nothing to do better than stir up shiiiiiiiiiite and create propaganda to suit their own agenda.

If the right deal comes along and they want our top d/p of course the AFC will look at the possibility.

We will want Bowden though.

 

[Stiffy_18]

Yeah, how stupid is he? Anyone would think that Ottens was Wayne Carey or something.

Don't you have posters to ban or something

I wonder what would happen to someone if they posted the same sort of troll on the port board

True. And this from a board who rely on about 30% of their posts from Crows supporters.

They can't live with us, can't live without us.

 

[Crow-mosone]

Guys slow down,

he said what will Richmond want? If I was richmond I would want 8, 24 + Brent Reilly too!!!

what you want is very different to what you get.

For that I would want Nick Riewoldt.

actually I want Riewoldt for a 4th round pick, and by Anderson's logic I might get it!

 

[Crow-mosone]

True. And this from a board who rely on about 30% of their posts from Crows supporters.

They can't live with us, can't live without us.

yeah but Jars,

would you want to spend you time talking to pork supporters ?

 

[Gets!]

That guy is a ********er.
