Mega Thread 2018 Trade Period Discussion part 2! (cont. in Part 3 - link in OP)

[Hodgy]

I actually think it'll happen .....if as we expect the Neale deal gets done

I'm not so sure May deal gets done ? .......If Gold Coast finish bottom next year, if May leaves, GC will have both picks #1 and #2 next year .....that's a powerful hand & every reason not to trade him this year

I can see no possible reason for GC to deal May. He's their captain, happy to stay another year, ten times the player Hombsch is and they will get pick 2 for him next year. Added to that they already have a great draft hand this year and it makes Xero sense.

 

[Betts are off]

I honestly don’t think we make our move until draft night now. I think Reid and Ogilvie have gone with a strategy to just plant seeds and see if anything grows. And if nothing comes to fruition then just wait and see who falls to 4 or 5 on draft night. Then either attack or sit tight.

What we didn't see were the electric leads attached to his legs and the head cage with rats sitting right next to him...i didn't think confessions extracted under torture counted

Lol. It does seem like a reluctant agreement. Apparently he wants a 4-5 year contract on more money to move to Port.

Another 5 year Power contract!

I just find it such bullshit that we are constantly berated about not being able to trade players against their will.

Unless you’re Alistair Clarkson...

We'll ask Jamal Khashoggi, if the Saudis ever find him

 

[Hodgy]

Or did we need an extra pick for a list spot ? ......only reason I can think off

There has to more to this. A bizarre trade with GC within minutes of the Franco contract situation being resolved. No idea what is happening but will be amazed if we don't have further dealings with the Suns this year.

 

[Brenton Davy]

Maybe the guy we have our eyes on, is not with an AFL club currently ....so we can't trade for him, but will have to Draft him or Rookie

and we won't be selling "D Fort" for him.

See what I did there?

 

[Deaneus!]

Burton has agreed to go to Port?

 

[Sanders]

Righto, I must have imagined all the journo's and recruiters telling us over the last few months the top end of this draft is as good as any and even calling the top end a "super 7"

No, you didn’t imagine it. You actively made it up. Much worse

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Burton has agreed to go to Port?

Please tell me its Brett.

 

[hippyhippy]

An average tall forward who’s still built like a rake despite going into his 7th season of AFL?

they redrafted butcher?

 

[Betts are off]

Please tell me its Brett.

Lol. This may well be your best post on BF! Well played!

 

[hippyhippy]

so burton might be a bit pissed that they would ask him to be traded .. maybe we can him next year ??

 

[Bearded Clam]

Burton to port

 

[Dudersaurus]

for those pro/con trading up or staying put, just for shiggles, see if anyone can id the described player - Cal Twomey's draft notes:

... the South Australian being touted a top-three prospect for most of the year. And they'll love him, too, with his class, poise and goalkicking skills excellent for a midfielder.He had an interrupted season with a niggling hip injury, which required surgery at the end of the year, but he'll be fine for the club's pre-season and for next year. Announced himself as a draft pick in this sort of range late last year, when he starred for SANFL side Woodville-West Torrens as they charged to the league premiership. Has excellent leadership qualities that were on show as captain of his state this season, and some already see him growing into an AFL captain.

Sounds like a gun, playing with mature bodies, SA boy... Nature vs nurture argument is relevant, but no guarantees in footy.

Burton has agreed to go to Port?

Probably pissed out of his mind in Vegas

 

[Idontpullout]

Some good reading on the port board at the moment.
They seem defeated and it's only October.
Long may it continue

 

[WaynesWorld19]

IMO Tim Kelly falls through if WCE can’t get the pick upgrade

They can't ...they were trying to get the Sydney #12 .....and no club below Sydney wants to trade out of the Top 10 .....So I think you maybe correct

 

[Crowbots are dead]

The smell of corruption on trade Radio just now was palpable. Kane says he’s going to grill gill on the Scully trade for which he comments that Damo seems nervous. Then once gill in on air they announce that Damo is now an AFL employee and the grilling on the Tom Scully deal is conveniently forgotten. Unbelievable

We will be active today... 100% confident deal's will be done and will top the McGovern deal for this period

Apparently waiting for a deal to fail/fold so we can slide under the carpet
