News Trade Week thread

[WALL-e]

I just can't see this happening but never know. I wouldn't be against it even though I don't really rate Ebert that highly...

+1 here.

Now that the O'Meara (MD P1) trade is through with GC and it looks likely #10 will be involved in the Crouch (MD P2) trade, this is how the Top 14 of the 2011 National Draft will look like:

1. GWS
2. GWS
3. GWS
4. GWS
5. GWS
6. Port Adelaide
7. GWS
8. Brisbane
9. GWS
10. GWS
11. GWS
12. Melbourne
13. GWS
14. GWS

That's 11 of the top 14 folks.

Absolutly incredible. No other club should bother attending the Draft.

but according to rucci, we are interested in hooker and dyson

Covered already, and shot down. Won't happen. Geez Rucci is slow.

 

[bigman]

If we get Crouch he will be our number one midfielder within 3 years.

He is elite.


He is Hodge with pace.

 

[eurodono]

i havent seen much of brown, any redleggers care to comment? i presume he's a midfielder?

i think he may be a small defender with a bit of pace and a nice right foot. Aint seen much of him though to be fair.

 

[Bockchoy67]

Yes, I think we need to target players who we truly believe can be a part of a premiership side.

Ebert - AFL Standard...yes. Premiership standard....no.

So as I say, while I wouldn't be against it I just don't see it happening.

Agreed. And I think we really need to try and get as much A-grade talent as possible to our club. Take out Thomas, Cloke and Pendlebury from Collingwood and they wouldn't be nearly as good, despite how good their resources and structures are.

Those three were all very high draft picks (well, Cloke was F/S but would have gone top 10 in his year anyway) which historically we don't have access to. Getting a bloke like Crouch is a huge boost for our club because we're essentially securing an A-grade midfielder.

Sounds like you can cross them off the list then.

I'm going to ignore the rest of your post, because it is complete shit. Noble has stated this is all part of a far bigger deal for us, it is only Wednesday ffs, there is still 5 more days to go, just be patient and judge us at the end of the week.

The thing that is pissing me off is the fact if the super trade did go through, there wouldn't be all this bullshit sooking from our supporters.

So you're going to ignore the part where I agree with everything else you said?

And you're going to deliberately choose to mischaracterize me as a sook? I'm optimistic with how things are going, and am hopeful that taking the Gunston deal and running will work out in the long term.

Poor form. Really embarrassing stuff.

 

[Magma]

why wont rucci just stop? embarassing stuff.

why not say we're after mark blake too

 

[WALL-e]

Anyone else ready to lol at the draft as AD tries to make the 10-1 count down exciting.....

 

[Stiffy_18]

Just lifted my desk at work.....look boss, no hands!

Loving work ATM. The network is ****ed and has been all day yesterday and whole day today. Everything needed to do actual work is on the network. The only thing that works is email and internet access

Of course, dumb ass client has to ring me just before Noble comes on the TWR and hung up well after he was finished.

 

[Hank93]

I think I may avoid listening to 5aa this afternoon. Could be embarrassing Cornesy and Rowey.

I hope you charged double?

aren't we supposedly getting pick 14?

 

[PyroCrow]

Will LOL when Cornes and Rowey try to explain all this

 

[PyroCrow]

Yes supposedly

 

[Magma]

richmond confirming they've offered second rounder for maric, compo and higher out of the question. no shock there

Clients mate, youd be better off without em.

Assuming the Crouch rumours are correct, GWS have 8 picks in the top 10. Ridiculous.

What does a Dyson and Hooker have in common?

 

[SydCrow]

i think he may be a small defender with a bit of pace and a nice right foot. Aint seen much of him though to be fair.

I thought he was a half forward - took a couple of good grabs and kicked a goal in the Legs v Dogs Qualifying Final. Possibly a Gunston replacement but smaller and maybe not as mobile. Looks like quality though.

Would like to have Pfeiffer also

 

[Hank93]

I think Rowey and Cornesy will spend 90 minutes on Pick 10 (8) from Brisbane for Tippett.

Throw in one of our later picks we picked up for Gunston? 46?

You were sooking mate, prematurely, like a lot of our supporters are. It is just pissing me off that our supporters are complaining about a deal which isn't even completed yet.

 

[neddy36]

aren't we supposedly getting pick 14?

It's been floated but not a certain part of the deal, especially if Luke Brown is included.

If #14 comes our way, then yes, 10 of the top 13 going to GWS. Still staggering.
