Any Trade News?

[GTSR22]

hi guys, ok i will start first since i am collingwood i have heard

that chris tarrant is moving to either sydney or west coast,

and jason cloke and cam cloke have been told they can leave if they want.

any body got anyone else??

cheers

[Husky33]

Piss off, we dont want Tarrant at sydeny. Have enough forwards as is, plus he's crap.

I hear Everitt may be going to sydney.....and maybe Judd, Kerr, Cousins and Pavlich. How good would that be.

ps. The jason/cam cloke are shite...

[Coupe-This]

I'll hear all the info soon enough, damn football crazy mrs ...

In other news, im making teh best afl team, nothing works wonders like some chloroform to knock em out and then brainwashing to work for $1 a game

[Kozeyekan]

Judd won't be leaving for Sydney. Put that down for sure.

I'd look at some of the lower clubs for some interesting trades.

First, Akermanis is up for trade, and brisbane will want players AND picks.

Essendon and the Dogs are in there, Essendon possibly to trade him on for some doggies.

From Essendon I'd expect Jason Johnson and Dean Soloman might look at moving, neither are happy with their contracts, and Mark Harvey would be interested in getting them west to Freo, and the chance to be part of an inaugural premiership might be just the right bait. Freo could use a bit of mongrel too.

Tarrant is pretty safe where he is. He's got Eddie on side.

The Clokes... Well, who cares really.

And back on Akermanis, I'm not sure who in the bulldogs think they can control him. The last player like that was Martin Pike, and when he went to the Kangas, Glen Archer took him aside in the showers and said to him "Don't F#@K up my club". I don't think the doggies have someone who can do that to Aker, whereas Sheedy might be able to work with his personality.

In short, I'd expect Soloman to go to Brisbane along with a draft pick if essendon get Akermanis.

Also, another prize recruit could be Michael Gardiner. He's gotta be kicking himself now. Essendon will also be trying to get him over there, and most other clubs will probably give it a crack too. But again, they need someone to keep him in line.

And a wild card for you:

Kangaroos for Aker, to then onsell to Western Bulldogs.

It'd be a coupe, BUT they have the draft picks to trade with, the Dogs have some goal sneaks and midfielders that they need and I know for a fact that many in the Kangas recruiting group are still dirty on the dogs for the Jade Rawlings trade incident. Also, they might be able to trade the talented but currently hapless Hayto brisbane who'll need a mobile backman after Mal Michaels leaves.

And Mal Michael. Again, the clubs who'll chase him will be essendon, Carlton and Kangaroos. I can't see him going west or to Sydney beacuse he's already stated that footy is not his #1 priority, and they won't risk it.

Sydney and West coast will be largely the same. The players know that they might have another flag in them, and they'll want to be a part of it, instead of uprooting families and taking a chance in a different city.

Well that's my insights. It's here in print, so we'll know if I was right or wrong in 6 months.

Oh, and my sources? Well, let's just say that I know a couple of people in a couple of clubs.

In the end, each club will think it's made the best deal possible. This years draft will be really interesting.

[GTSR22]

very good news there mate, i also hear the tim notting, baue mcdonald, and daniel bradshaw all want to leave brisbane and move down to melbourne, anyone else heard that?

and i know THE CLOKES WHO CARES??

HEHE BYE

[Paradizzle]

LOL agreed Clokes... who cares, as long as they dont come to Essendon. I think Jason Johnson and Solomon will definately go unfortunately... so look for a big draft/recruiting effort by the Dons this year.

PS. Tarrant is a dud, ship him to Carlton where all the other rejects are (bar a few)

[GTSR22]

haha true on tarrant, when ever the big goals are there to be kicked or the big games there to be won, he falls in a heap and kicks like sh*t. i think the dons will recruit well also, and same with the cats and carlton.

did anyone hear the rumour that the reason why gary lyon didnt take the st kilda job was because he was waiting for the one at collingwood? anyone else heard that?

cheers

I heard that the famous 'crying' incident on the stretcher happened against St Kilda ...... Eddie might have promised him that the clip will be 'lost' if he takes the Collingwood job. Personally i think Lyons will be lowering himself if he joins Collingwood

I've heard the rumour, but I think it's just that. Lyons would be crazy to take the collingwood job. He'd have a pay cut, and probably have to give up the footy show and sunday footy show, along with commentating, compeiring, etc.

I think it's more likely that Malcolm blight will coach collingwood than Lyons (And that's not very likely in itself).

I'm a kangaroos man myself, so I hope we get some good kids. Though an abolute coup would be for us to get Soloman and Mal Michaels, give them a year with Archer to become even tougher, and we'd have a back line that would make any forwards shit themselves.

[GTSR22]

well to start off trade week, akermanis was just traded to the dogs. with no players being exchanged supposedly. but we will see

cheers

[Paradizzle]

I heard Essendon are the only ones interested in Jason Cloke. PLEASE GOD let this be a lie... i will cry if he comes to Essendon. Im going to crawl up in a fetal position and cry for days if this happens.... maybe not but you get the picture.

[GTSR22]

haha yep i do, and also everit for malchezki ? hawthorn/sydney. could be a good midfilder for hawthorn if that trade goes through

[Paradizzle]

Could be a good little trade!! I saw pictures on the News of a melbourne player who wanted to be traded... could be a big name leaving the melbourne, not sure who as i just caught a glimpse of the jumper.

[mr_crust]

jason akker is going to the doggies

[Husky33]

haha yep i do, and also everit for malchezki ? hawthorn/sydney. could be a good midfilder for hawthorn if that trade goes through

Doubt that will happen. Sydney will just hope he gets through to the selection rounds

[KamikazeR33]

hall to the hawks as he wants to go back to melb so he can b nearer his bogan family in broadford.

gonna swap for everitt and buddy franklin

[GTSR22]

polak from freo, may be heading to richmond. but that is only if richmond can afford him??.

[KamikazeR33]

richmond cant afford it. they need to dump richo and his megabux contract

[Kozeyekan]

richmond cant afford it. they need to dump richo and his megabux contract

I actually don't mind Richo. Problem is that no one in the middle delivers to him properly since brown did his knee.

When you're at the game, you can see richo do 3 and 4 part leads, then they just kick it anywhere and he's gotta get to the ball, unlike Sydney and St Kilda who put it just in the path of Hall and gherig repectively, and make them look good.

[DivHunter]

He misses one or two early on and that's it for the game though. Richo is a confidence player like Tarrant which I personally think have no place in AFL. Tarrant has to go as long as Collingwood hold onto Rusling, he has a future.
