Media QrownMedia's SFA Trade* Central - LATEST: Off-Season Reviews underway

[kdavva]

​

Welcome to SFA Trade Central, your one-stop shop off this upcoming off-season when it comes to player movement. With 8 of the 12 clubs already knocked out of S31 premiership contention, it's time to turn our eye to Season 32. As always, we'll be seeing plenty of free agency as well as some bright young rookies enter the competition and you'll find all of the changes here.

We will also be digging into the ruours around the off-season, exploring potential unrest between clubs and posters, and ultimately keeping the average SFA-er in the loop without having to trawl through multiple media or team threads.

This season, the 5th iteration of this thread, I have decided to take on a couple of apprentices to ease my workload and expose them to the wide world of legitimate useful media. Pickitt and ImissFrosty will be getting amongst the action for Trade Central, hopefully stirring the pot more than I ever could.

RUOUR

The fallout from the Phoenix name rebrand is set to continue over the upcoming off-season

The decision to rebrand East Side from the Hawks to the Phoenix had several high profile repercussions last off-season, with the most glaring examples being the departures of PMBangers and Hate to the Royals and Demons respectively.

QrownMedia has received reports that the player exodus is set to continue into Season 33, with a number of Phoenix players also looking to move. The name rebrand is not considered to be the driving factor but instead the general shift of the club culture towards general discussion and Discord activities.

DONE DEAL

Congratulations to Ned_Flanders on finding his new home.

Ned_Flanders made the excellent decision to take the decision of his next club and pass it along, and now reaps the rewards for his choice.

By popular decree, Ned will be heading to the Wonders for Season 33 to contribute to the excellent club culture fostered by Mozzie19 and Loonerty.

Ned is reportedly extremely keen to play alongside Brenton Davy who he considers 'a personal hero'.

 

[TRUMAN#1]

Now to go and wait for the Prelim Final match thread.

Welcome aboard Ned_Flanders. They say you should never meet your heroes! I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed!!!

Can confirm. Brenton Davy is my hero

 

[Pickitt]

I'll probably get kicked out at the end of the season, feel free to send me offers

Why will you get kicked out?

 

[Pickitt]

Why will you get kicked out?

Have you been living under a massive rock

 

[damicky]

Have you been living under a massive rock

Haven’t you already found a new home?

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Have you been living under a massive rock

He is a Dragon, they aren't allowed to leave their rock.

Frosty's First Ruour

In what comes as a shock to absolutely nobody, Qrownmedia Trade Central can confirm that Pickitt is on the move. After an unsuccessful trade request mid-season, the future admin has been left in limbo for weeks, considering his next move. Relationships could not be fixed in the second half of the season and while the Demons were committed to persisting with the young rook, this has come to no avail. It is unknown where he will be headed in S33, but sources close to Trade Central believe that the Gumbies and Bombers are the main candidates to follow up after they could not reach an agreement with the demons in the mid-season trade period but were happy to take him as a free agent. However, watch out for a late play by the Furies to reunite the dynamic duo and potentially the Wonders too where he can play alongside his hero Brenton Davy. It's very open as of yet so watch this space.

 

[A Swallow]

Have you been living under a massive rock

Potentially. But I have good wifi. Did you not sign with someone else?

Edit: never mind, read the RUOUR. In summary; delisted and currently homeless.
