2010 Trading and Draft Strategy

[Faz 2000]

Gibbs would sweeten a Tarrant trade to the point it would give you diabetes instantly.

 

[Blue since 72]

Obviously not a Blues supporter.

And obviously totally brain dead.

LOL WUT!!! I have officially seen the most bizarre trade suggestion.

From the "Twitterverse":

@AFL_JasonPhelan Whilst I fear the backlash as a Carlton supporter, any thoughts on Gibbs on the table to sweeten a Tarrant deal?

and Phelan's reply

Gibbs as steak knives in a Tarrant deal? Unlikely! Crows have tried to get Gibbs for years. Think he's Blue for life

Maybe the same for Grigg?

Sorry if posted elsewhere.

Which pic, sorry I can't see it

It's in our DNA, is it in yours?

Just out of interest does anyone know if Wayne Hughes gets involved in trade week or is he purely involved with drafting

 

[TNBT]

Did Trade Week Radio die for everyone else, or just me?

You're probably already doing this - but make sure to use Internet Explorer as your browser with the AFL website.

 

[Jabba73]

Mine is not working either, probably because I couldn't take any more of Hutchy's crap and turned it off!

 

[Sublime]

Trade week radio? Sounds more painful than waxing my derriere.

 

[Mandragoran]

Hawks have no interest in Thornton at this stage, despite having little chance at getting Tarrant..... can't really see us getting rid of him now, devo

[BluesMan]

Still a fair way off says Icke on trades

Day 1 Wrap:

As most of you have read or would have guessed, Day 1 as usual is like watching paint dry. Plenty of clubs posturing, denying and making outrageous requests, and that was just at the coffee shop. LOL

I stress the following summary is a collation of press reports, solid rumours and info from my sources.

I have set out the players inquired about, from what clubs and rated the reactions on a temp scale - Cold, Cool, Warm or Hot.


Inquiries.....Inquiries......Temperature
.About..........From.............Scale


Browne...........Freo..............Cool

Grigg............Tigers............Warm
...................Suns..............Cool

Jacobs..........Crows..............Hot
..................Saints.............Cool
..................Cats..............Warm

Setanta........Demons............Hot
..................Dogs..............Warm
.................Swans..............Cool

Thornton......Hawks..............Cool

Walker..........Dogs..............Cool
..................Crows............Warm

Veszpremi.........Swans..............Cool


It looks like we have some good ones coming our way and if we can convert a few more of these, it could be a really good trade period.

 

[TheBrownlowMan37]

Cool on Vez but warm on Barlow?

Barlow is like one of those athlete first/footballer second types, except for the second part.

 

[Jeffers]

We'll give you guys BarLOL for a packet of Tim Tams if you like.

 

[gbatman]

I recon O'hAilpin for Warnock will go through.
I don't know what we see in McKinley. He's not a good footballer and will become a whipping boy for supporters.
You'd think we might be after Brown from WCE a bit more.
I hope we are offering Grigg and Jacobs as a package. Getting a couple of late picks and a couple of average players is no where near as valuable as an early pick and a good player.

 

[Sin City]

Bevan..............Swans.............Warm

This is an interesting one. Is this as a potential swap for Setanta? I put this guy on my hate list after the pre-season game this year, he just spent the entire game trying to knock our players blocks off and pestering them. He's strong, has plenty of mongrel and is a bit of an antagonist. He'd really add some physical pressure that we were lacking at times last season.

 

[CAS79]

You want our Barlow.

are you sure you don’t have the names mixed up with the guy from Freo.

Hope you’ve been watching his form in Canberra as it's his only 2010 guide and rarely threatened senior selection at the swans.

Fully expect him to be ignored at trade week and subsequently delisted.

 

[NAUGHT5]

I'd rather pull Kris Barlow out of retirement

Can he play though? It's all well and good to be tough and have a bit of mongeral but you must be able to play.

Well, did you even watch any of our three games against the Swans this year or are you just looking for a new player to shit can?

 

[Sin City]

This trade week radio is not working again, can't get it to work on explorer either. Anyone know what I can do to get it going?
