News Trade Week Thread.

Please tell me these Shuey "rumors" are bullshit

I've heard nothing about Shuey being up for trade.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

i wouldn't be upset if essendon traded pick 8 for shuey but i don't see it happening. more chance of trading pick 30 and whatever compensation they get off richmond for houli assuming that goes thru. should richmond give up pick 29 i personally think a deal of picks 29+30 is adequate.

Oh gawd. Even the mere suggestion of trading Shuey for picks 29 and 30 will cause this board to implode.

 

[bighit006]

well when you draft an 18yo in the first round you anticipate 12 years of service with the guy getting in about 15 games in his first 2 seasons.

with shuey he's basically missed 2 years of football, will take a year to develop now so he's behind the 8-ball in terms of value on the open market.

Bahahahaha thats nearly twice as low as the pick we used to get him. You obviously haven't seen enough of him to make an informed opinion of his value as a player.

Is the only suggestion that Shuey won't be an eagle anymore just a Twitter comment made by some random?

That's not much to go on... Lets all get thicker skins and look at the other trade news

 

[kempy]

Just had a phone call from Luke. Asked me to post on BF that if you lot don't stop all this BS about him leaving he will go and see Woosha and demand to go back to Melbourne. You have been warned.

 

[beatlesmith]

The only pick i would trade Shuey for is pick 1, David Swallow.

Someone should twitter that and then we can all watch the Gold Coast board implode.

 

[Geoffe_Miles]

Quinz card this guy quickly. He'll be the detonator in the geoffe miles atom bomb. His ol mate hardie will catch wind of this and geoffe will explode and wipe out most of the southern suburbs of perth

Yeah. I don't know why i listen to radio stations with journalists who get their information from personal contacts built up over years in the industry at clubs and player managers and who spend all of trade week at the actual location where it's taking place talking off the record to the people actually doing the trades. I should just come here instead and fill my brain with knowledge from all the genuises on here who have spent the last 3 weeks dreaming up ridiculously convoluted trade theories where we get involved in an 8 way trade with 17 players involved and end up getting rid of 3 fringe players, a 30 year old with an ACL and a 6th round pick in exchange for two first round picks and Daniel Rich. And they take up pages and pages of threads discussing it as though it actually existed in the realms of possibility.

It's funny how much ego there is on here and how much of an expert and how close to the coal face some people seem to think they are. I would rather listen to a journo with contacts than the totally illogical, ridiculous and biased rubbish that idiots post on here. Circle jerk city. But you feel welcome to keep listening to the posters here and being "in the know" on these 8 way trades if you like. I wil stick with the journos.

If Shuey wanted out i would have thought that he would have told the club that before day 2 of trade week.

 

[anti_]

just a bit of an over-reaction from geoffe.

 

[Pat_Footy]

If Geoff Miles had any other club written below his name he would be red carded for that....

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Except that he's got a point. This thread is basically 300 posts of nothing but speculation. And his last sentence was spot on.

And anti, seriously cut it out. If I have to hand out cards because of people getting wound up from your posts, then you're getting one as well

 

[WCE_phil]

Cool story bro

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Our pick 28 might be pushed out - Richmond just got the band 3 selection pick from Adelaide - and you'd think they'd use it this year!

 

[chardonnay]

Suggestion on Melbourne radio yesterday Hurn to the Gold Coast.

Came in on the conversation late, not sure if talking trade OR Hurn is contracted?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Hurn's contracted and about as likely to get traded as LeCras.

 

[anti_]

did i just hear that we're trading lecras?














































on a side note, what on earth are adelaide doing?

Might be hard to lure from melbourne but seemed better news that our trading so far

We've offered Teague a deal last week and he's sitting on it. Would rather stay with Carlton in an increased role and is waiting for them to come back to him.

 

[Pat_Footy]

The way that Hurn talks about farming I don't know why he doesn't ask for a trade. He seems to live and breathe it. Guess he's just a loyal bloke but I guess everyone knows that.

 

[Geoffe_Miles]

Difficult situation that the club is in if the best offers for McKinley and Spangher are picks in the 3rd and 4th round we won't use anyway. We need the best deal for ourselves. At the same time McKinley and Spangher are Victorians who spent 4 or 5 years of their lives at our club and who are trying to have a career but are leaving because we can't give them an opportunity. There is some obligation there to do the right thing and help them get to where they want to go given that they have given us 4 years of their lives.

I guess we have to keep our poker face on and insist they are going wherever the best offer comes from untill late on the last day where if we really aren't going to get a decent offer we should just help them out and trade them wherever they want to go. We probably won't get any serious offers untill later in the week anyway. Early on everyone has theirs eyes on the big fish like Clark and Tarrant etc. It's only when the auction is over that the losing bidders start shopping for a consolation prize and looking at the smaller fish.

Considering Hurn's manager is now the Eagles list manager, I can't see that happening.

 

[Keys]

Any chance we can stop posting every bullshit rumour

Use a bit of common sense before posting please

or provide a link

 

[EaglesFlyingHigh]

Eagles are crap traders

 

[bighit006]

Just heard from a fairly tasty bottle of sauce...BBQ it was I think. Anywho, it was fairly adamant that Lecras was infact a martian from Mars and was hoping to return to his home world, bad news is the AFL are refusing to give us any compensation for his interstellar return home. Anyone else heard anything similiar?

That story has been regurgated from last year

Oh has, it. It did sound remarkably similar.
