Trade Week Rumours!

[chef]

We need a key forward so why not check out all available. We are not going to end up with a star, just someone who will help our structure.

So we have been hearing for the past 10 years. And sorry to sound like Tempo(Broken record) but getting a dud doesn't help our structure. Bandy, Bartlett, McDougall, Morgan, Rawlings, K.Hunter ect ect.

Actually Welsh has been by far the greatest pick up we have had. He doesn't need to kick 4 goals a game to help our structure. Why? Because he's not a dud, he's not a superstar either but at least he's not a liability like those mentioned above and those mentioned as possible 'Mooney' like structural pillars.

Anyone got a sneeking suspicion that we may make a play for Seaby?

I mean we tried to get him last year and we couldn't (don't know why though, contract?). So now that he is up for a trade we may make a play for him. He wouldn't cost that much, maybe a 3rd rounder....not sure .

He isn't the star forward we need, but he would probably be the best option available to fill the hole in our forward line. He is 200cm and weighs 99kg, so he fits the size that we need. Only problem is his skills, but he can take a contested mark and can only improve with more game time.

Just a thought...

Seaby is a ruckman and will offer very little as a tall forward. Might as well just leave Minson there to develop, he was showing gradual improvement throughout the year.

Like you said, by all reports we had a crack at him last year, but ended up with Hudson, plus now with Cordy as a developing ruck / forward, Shaw & Mulligan developing through the rookie system, Minson to take over Hudson as our number one ruckman when Hudson finishes, i don't think we need Seaby.

I think you'll find the musically inclined Rocket has been talking to Andrew Johns...just a little over-enthusiasm in the Hun newsroom.

I think you may mean Daniel Johns (Silverchair)

Andrew Johns is the former Rugby League star that was caught in possesion of ecstasy in England.

Maybe he was speaking with Ronnie Johns?

An article on the Herald Sun website has Eade confirming we're interested in Boyle and that Ray might stay if we didn't get adequate compensation. Looks like it'll be another active trade week for us.

 

[Bodicifer]

Relax people, this is the C. Johns they were referring to in trade talks...

Hey this is a rumours thread not facts

 

[paul scholes]

Courtney Johns missed the first 3 years of his AFL career because of injuries so basically is only a 20 year old in the footy business.

He does have talent, worth trading a 5th rounder i believe.

As per usual Essendon fans overrating their players. That 5 should have the number 1 in front of it.

 

[boydsno1]

Hamish Mcintosh apparently is on the trade table. any intrest?

 

[54Dogs]

Worth a first rounder and ours is gone. Possibly Melbourne, St Kilda or Carlton. De-values Warnock though.

 

[.M a t t.]

They will want atleast a 1st rounder which we don't have anymore. So I doubt that we have anything they want.

 

[54Dogs]

Any rumours on talks with the Swans re: Hall?

Matt ?

Hamish McIntosh will not attract a first round pick.

 

[The_Bulldogs_Bite]

Hamish McIntosh will not attract a first round pick.

I hope you're joking.

 

[Butane]

I hope you're joking.

He is....or he's stoned.

Regardless we don't need another ruckman(despite his price we couldn't match). Can't play 3 ruckman and Minson won't make it as a full-time forward - although he'll be great pinch hitting down there.

Yeah Rocket has said that we will not be targetting a ruckman in this years trade period.

Besides, McIntosh will cost a top 10 pick.

His stocks really shot up last year, would be worth a pick somewhere between 7 - 14 IMO.

Jay Schultz from the Tiges is in the Bulldogs Agenda

Oh **** no. Why Bulldogs? Why? I swear I'm going to turn in to Tempo soon if we keep going after tall forward hacks.

 

[Parkey]

What surely not we need a Power Forward not another lead up.

 

[boydsno1]

I'd rather Clive Hughes from the tigers.
