People probably should relax. No club has made a trade yet, so I'm not concerned. Let it play out as it will.

We have got another week of the trade period. Plenty of time..... to be bored until something happens. Then we are up and running. Keep the faith.

Hey, come on now, lets not bring common sense into this opportunity to be a bunch of henny pennys about the club
Saw a suggestion on one of the Facebook pages just before, saying that the Hawks should offer Grimley, Schoenmakers, and their first round pick for Dangerfield.
WHERE DO WE SIGN!??!

And Hawthorn, who think 2 Fringe players plus pick 19 = a champion player!
Is it wrong that after each day I am disappointed that we appear to have done nothing.??
I usually go straight to the AFL website and I look for something about the Crows but nothing is there yet it appears that all the other clubs have their finger in the pie. Lets hope that its all about to happen for us.
I'm fine with the proposed Ryder compensation and separate side trade, as long as immediately after the paperwork is signed the Bombres and Power lose their first and second round picks for 2014 and 2015 as well as their right to participate in Free Agency during those years. Obviously there needs to be some hefty fines for both clubs and suspensions for some of the administration involved as well.
Then I'd be fine with the deal.

I heard on the news last night that Port were "becoming frustrated with Essendon's tactics". Boo ****ing hoo, Ryder is contracted to Essendon until the end of next season. They are under no obligation to trade him to Port just because two of the three parties want it to happen.
The second side deal is EXACTLY the same as what we got done for. "We'll give you a 1st round commodity for a second rounder" except in this case, it'll be a 3rd or 4th rounder.
Completely fair...

Anarchy for the AFC, it's coming sometime...
The AFL's reputation is at stake with this one. I'm sure that the other 16 clubs will be extremely pissed off if the Ryder/Free Agency/Trade draft tampering goes ahead.
Bloody disgraceful... I haven't been this annoyed in a while. I need to chill!
Grimley is rather inconsistent. He had some great games for Box Hill but also many very poor games. Too big a difference between his best and worst to command a spot at the hawks. Looking at his stats, he had about 50 hit outs for the year including two lots of 13 where it looks like he spent some time in the ruck. If you check out here, you'll see he only made the best players twice, but Box Hill were a very good team this year.

The deal will happen and AFL will fluff about and get it over the line. There's no way the AFL want Ryder to go down the breach of contract path with Essendon so this is the lesser of 2 evils for the AFL. Doesn't make it right but that's my guess on what will happen.
Ridiculous athlete with a basketball background, had only played a few games of footy when drafted. Despite ages on the list he still has a lot to learn. Frankly he kicked a lot of those goals just because he was too tall and fast for most VFL defenders, he wouldn't do it in the AFL. His best is very good, but his worst is pathetic, and you see that way too often. If you could shrink the gaps between his best and worst you might have a player, but it's a gamble.
Has shown more as a forward than when trying to ruck.
If he's no better ruck than Jenkins then there's no point having a crack at him. I'd rather Ceglar.

Very different.
Del santo was out of contract, with a clause that would opt in an extension.
Ryder is in contract, and somehow consenting to tear up his contract gives him free agent rights and Essendon the right for compensation? Why?

Agree. How long does the trading period go for? Three weeks.
I would be surprised if each club has met with every other club for a decent scoping discussion yet. This week will be about clubs scoping who from other clubs could be on the market and who are untouchable.
Plenty of water to go under the bridge yet.
Daniel Merrett is in Adelaide , this pic was captured at the airport.
Agreed, we need a player who is ruckman first, key forward 2nd, someone who is legitimately capable of playing 1st ruck at AFL level straight away.
Its 10 or 11 days in total this year, down from the ridiculous 4 week exchange period of last year.

Was the clause activated? If yes there was a contact. If no there was no contract.
Was there a side deal to make up the "difference"?
Why should clubs receive compensation for players not on their books?
