Setanta looked like he's definately heading to Melbourne.

Source: Rush hour on MMM last night.

The new sports reporter was at the draft camp today, and saw a few teams pulling each other aside for a chat. Two clubs that apparently spent a lot of time together were Carlton and Melbourne and O'Hailpin's name was overheard during the conversation

His name was overheard? Not exactly rock solid evidence.

They could have been discussing Warnock, e.g. :"He wants to go to Carlton but he wants an assurance that O'hAilpin won't kick him up the arse"
 
I think it's a good move for him and an average move for Melbourne, he's a short term fix, provides no real leadership or mentoring ability and has a questionable character.
You want Fevola instead, yet you question Setanta's character?

If Fevola had worked as hard as O'hAilpin who gave up a promising Hurling career to play a professional sport, then he'd still be playing in the AFL.

One incident with Cam Cloke who probably set him off with a questionable sledge isn't O'hAilpin.

I doubt that you could call Setanta a drinker by AFL standards.
 
Just heard on Danyle Pearce, that there is gathering momentum that he could be playing either at Collingwood or North next season

He's contracted for next year, I highly doubt either club would be able to offer us a realistic trade.

I'm aware of this.

I was kind of going for an ironic statement along the lines of 'if we want an old FF who's a bit of a w***er why not get Fev?'.

O'Hailpin kicked a teammate in the balls, stand up blokes don't do that.

Lost on some apparently.

Blues wouldnt trade O'hAilpin for Warnock...

We could get him for 0 through the PSD.

I dont even know where Warnock would fit into our side?

You may just find that there was a very good reason why someone would do what O'Hailpin did. Why is Cloke no longer at the club but O'Hailpin is?

I would have thought Ebert for Pearce makes some sense.

I can't think of a good reason to do that, Cloke is a much worse player than O'Hailpin.

If he pisses you off, punch him in the guts.. the face, whatever...

Don't kick him in the balls.
 
90% sure Myles Sewell has or will be pre-listed by GWS. Who wants him?

Personally I could see Collingwood nabbing him and Marty Clarke with our first round pick.
 
Pearce could benefit from a change and at WCE wouldn't get the hard tag. As he would be behind Kerr & Shuey.

Ebert + 41 for Pearce

There is actually gathering momentum that North and Pearce are fond of one another.

This could include Garlett or Campbell.

We normally deal pretty well with Port so there shouldn't be a loser. Who knows, it could also include WC.

What about;

Ebert + 23 to Port
Pearce + 28 + 33 to North
Pick 18 + 33 to WCE and Garlett to P.A

WCE Lose: Ebert + 23
WCE Gain: Pick 18 + 33

NM Gain: Pearce + 28
NM Lose: Pick 18 + Gartlett

Port Gain: Ebert + Garlett + 23
Port Lose: Pick 28 + 33 plus Pearce

is The player that gets picked at pick 33 gonna be split In half aslo think port are the losers in this trade and north are the winners in the trade

Its not a bad trade, I recon Port are getting a bit of a touch up though, I think they will rate Pearce a bit higher than his actual trade value based on his potential so I think they will want a little bit more for him.
 
Ben Nason would only be worth a late 5th rnd pick at best, if Adelaide gave up anything better than that, they would be foolish
 
I seriously doubt Collingwood are interested in Danyle Pearce, soft, unaccountable downhill skiers are not what Buckley is after.

seriously why would they need him, they have the best and deepest list in the league
 
I have Heard that Danyle Pearce wants to go to Collingwood.


Of course Pearce wants to go to the Pies they ended up on top of the ladder!
If Pearce is off to the Pies, and rumour Maccaffer to Freo. Could this be part of a Griffin trade.

Griffin --> Port
Pearce --> Col
MacCaffer --> Freo

Possible pick to Freo as a sweetner.

Pearce can f^ck off - soft as sh!t, no ticker and weak mentally. Too many times when he got tagged, he just dropped his head and gave up. No space for those types of players in a premiership contending team. Great skills no doubt but no way would I prefer him on our list over a Macaffer.

Poor, poor trade by Collingwood if this occurs.
