2018 Trade and FA thread (opposition supporters post in Trade Hypotheticals thread)

Still hearing massive drums on Roughy on a 2 + 2 deal a la Hodgey.

Clarko can't guarantee him a game next year.

Suspect we can't either. He looks closer to shot than Hodgey did.

If I didn’t think the Chook was completely off his chops when he posted this I’d be pretty keen...

Toot toot!

carn't see it ! are the hawks having a clearance sale ?

Funnily enough, this could be one of those situations where he’s right when everyone doubts him.

 

[Squizz89]

Who do they have to play forward if they let him go?

They missed out on Lynch, Roughy is past it & may not even be there. O’Brien is unlikely to make it.

I don’t believe they have anyone else waiting in the wings for that position.

Would love to have Gunston. Would push Mcstay out or the Big O depends what the coaches are thinking.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Gunston signed a three year extension last month. Seems fanciful at best.

Ohh well there goes that.

I think Ricky has lost his toot.

At best a 1 + 1 but I don’t think we need him.

He's been right about some stuff but this seems very much like a "lost the plot" claim.

Any reason Nixon is being taken seriously?

He has a Twitter account. Apparently that's all it takes

I suggested this mid season as a compensation method, a similar thing to the bombers had - almost. I wonder if it will then effect priority/compensation picks in the draft or at least the place they occur in the order.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

That's a pretty arbitrary cut off.

 

[Lazza16]

The real reason McGovern wants out of the Crows because before he signed his contract last year he asked the crows if they were signing Gibbs and the crows said no and 2 weeks later they signed him. He wasn't happy and hasn't been all year. Could be the same with Brad Crouch. Assume its all about $$$ for both of them

Also he has to live in adelaide.

 

[Lazza16]

Sorry for having a life outside of big footy!

It's ok Mr Noble...
We know it's a busy time for you....we appreciate ur tit bits.

I'm wary about the mention of 'assistance packages'.

It will be frustrating if it turns out those teams get special access to state league players, a mid-first round priority pick, and something else in addition to that. That will be quite a contrast to the end of first round pick we got after doing it tough for a long time, and still finding ourselves near the bottom.

Neale just interviewed by Sam McClure on SEN- says he is still thinking it over, suggests that he will take a few more weeks.

After the interview finished and Neale went in to the Brownlow Mcclure’s prediction was ‘gawnn’ and his gut feel was that he didn’t want to announce prior to freo’s b and f.

Being reported that they won’t get access to a priority pick. Think Gold Coast have been a bit dudded tbh.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Carlton: we don’t need a priority pick, we are proud Carlton etc...

AFL: you sure? You probably should apply.

Carlton: alright, here’s our application then.

AFL: lol, denied!

Lets hope he's right on this one.

I missed it, what was your gut feel on the tone of the interview Tom? Confident he's coming to us or not?

Edit- Thanks for posting the audio Tom, I didn't get much from it although I still think if he was going to stay why wouldn't he just announce it now. So he's still coming to us IMO.

Lachies latest Instagram post got 5 likes from Lions players within the first 30 minutes. I don't think we need anymore proof.
