News Trade Week Thread.

Notte apart of our future plans let the stick insect go.

 

[swannies]

apparently there is interest in tony notte

wonder if we can get another pick in the 80's??

the downside of course is that we can;t rookie him if that was the intention

Woodhouse, Woosh or the Rev only needed to come and ask me about this and I could have told them. Still only get a pick in the 80s, but with Spangher maybe we could clean up at 85, 86 and 87!

^^^^let them have him.

 

[bodazoka]

Which is why I think we will rookie him....

Surely if we wanted to get him off the list the first option would of been a trade? unless Notte flat out refused it.

let the stick insect go

You realise that there are two stick insects in that photo? I think they are mating. Just sayin'...

Look at this article: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/103977/default.aspx

Apparently Port have offered up Jacob Surjan to Carlton to get Andrew Walker. They need to get rid of Motlop to be able to afford Walker but there is no interest.
Now if Port need to make room why don't we offer pick 28 for Surjan he is from WA 25yo
and could work well in our squad.

 

[Nickos66]

Is that Notte pick photoshopped? It's wroooong.

I think it'd be best for Tony not to be picked up this draft season at all, needs to establish himself first before being bandied around as he has been for years. If he shows something next year or the year after then pick him up. There's a good chance complacency is hindering him from hitting his straps.

We won't give up picks 4, 26 or 28. I wouldn't use any of them on Surjan either to be honest.

Surjan is EXACTLY what we need in our backline. A solid lock on small forwards.

Pick 28 would be bargain price.

However, I hardly see Port shopping him around considering he is in their leadership ground. I don't believe that.

 

[Prem87]

Why would they give up Surjan for Walker?

If this were true and I were Surjan, I'd be pissed. Similar to Campbell Brown last year.

The word is Surjan hates Motlop and visa versa. Has said if Motlop is not traded he wants to be.

Does he want to go to the Blues or Victoria?

Who knows, but Port have been chasing Walker.

I'd have Surjan, 25 and a very good small backman. Just had kne surgery so with no time for medicals its a risky trade if you pay too much.

From memory his shoulders are ratshit too btw. In saying that he's a beauty of a back pocket and i'd be happy to have him with our second rounder.

I'd offer lower than the second round i.e pick 45 or even less. We're not desperate to get him and can afford to play hardball aka McKinley. 2nd round definitely too high in a good draft. Could be a useful player but is not a star. Fills a need but not one of the most pressing ones i.e outside running mids and KPF.

Freo have/are going to secure Tendai Mzungu and Pick 44 for their Pick 38.

Source is on the Drafts and Trading board.

Would have liked him at the Eagles. Dockers a lot more proactive than us in securing him unfortunately.

Confirmed on ch 7.

 

[bodazoka]

He must of tested really well.

Anyone know where/if you can get the results for Brennans testing?

 

[philibuster]

eagle lack any sort of imagiation in trade week

very lackluster performance so far in trade week!
complete lack of effort, maybe there will be a hectic last day, but knowing worsfolds style.....i very much doubt it!!

 

[SS_Fury]

Re: eagle lack any sort of imagiation in trade week

the word was 'aggressive' i believe. Bmac must have left aggressively.

 

[pacemaker]

Re: eagle lack any sort of imagiation in trade week

Pick 4 will get traded for a gun player

 

[philibuster]

Re: eagle lack any sort of imagiation in trade week

I dunno, considering we finished last this year,i thought we might have tried to recruit some good players, to try and add something.
maybe the coaching panel arn't as pessimistic as i am?

Or maybe there were no good players available?

Or maybe they're planning to draft good players instead?

My money's on Spangher.

 

[lewigie]

Spangher isn't much of a "huge development".

But who cares
