Leon Davis still being linked to us.

Where are you getting this?

 

[Toshowyouwhy]

Shit trade week has been shit.

 

[Marlin01]

What did we expect. We started off bent over the table.

That's what I expected, doesn't change the fact we been shafted.

Where are you getting this?

Herald Sun - One of the bloggers for HS saying we are still inquiring.

One of our old boys, Mitch Morton, has just been traded to Sydney for pick 79.

How his value has fallen. When we drafted him father/son he was talked about as a top 10 talent. Depression (presumably cause by playing for Richmond) must not have helped.

 

[pantskyle]

Still baffled at the Hawks.

I see.

There's reason to stay online I guess. There's an outside chance we could do one more trade, it seems.

Sydney looks a good fit for him

 

[pantskyle]

Sydney know how to get the best out of a player.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

I agree. Sydney are also very astute traders, obviously, so you'd think they see something in him.

Hope he does well and I wouldn't be surprised if he finally reaches his lofty potential with the Swans.

Pick 49 for Hill?

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Pick 49 for Hill?

They're saying it's done on TWR.

I'm quite pleased about it, to be honest. Giving Hill 2 years to see if he's got it is better than waiting 3 or 4 years to find out if pick 49 has it.

 

[Avalor]

^^^^
Yep deal done in the next 30 minutes.

 

[pantskyle]

Two top 20 picks isn't bad for us after finishing 4th in this very compromised draft. Still would have liked to be more active as Woosh said we would.

Guy is a real talent but like all the mortons i think something is missing with the application of the talent. His brother went at pick 4 and i think mitch is easily the most talented of the mortons.

Sydney's reinvention of players is well over-rated.

The reason they have had a decent amount of success is because they have re-hashed so many players. They have a stack of failures as well.

Seaby hasn't been playing bad it's more to do with Mumford playing brilliantly.

Strike rate better then most teams though and for pick 79 it's a easy punt to take.

 

[Icanwalk]

Woah, am I the only one who is confused as hell

Freo basically get pick 29 for pick 38 and we get 28 for Ebert ??????

Not to mention that fricken downgrade. We got shafted I tells ya!

 

[pantskyle]
