Ryan O'Keefe asks for trade

Re: O'keefe OFFICIALLY quits swans!

i heard just now that hawthorn will just about get a deal done with sydney for O'keefe, Boyle and Taylor will be sydney players next year and hawthorn will also be trading a rookie dowler to the bulldogs for a late pick.

I personally think hawthorn can do without okeefe but he can add something.

trading a rookie dowler to the bulldogs for a LATE PICK???? no chance the boy was a number 6 draft pick, minimum first round selection i would've thought? where did you hear this?

Yep, according to them he's told the club he wants to officially be traded to Melborne

Re: O'keefe OFFICIALLY quits swans!

Geez..................that looks a real scary forward line. Two old men, two reserves grade players & O'Keefe that never really gets close enough to goal to have a gimme shot. Hence his poor efficiency rate when it come to kicking goals.


Yep............stop scaring us!!

Henry Playfair.

Now that's scary.

Re: O'keefe OFFICIALLY quits swans!

Was talking about Barry Hall there you brain surgeon.

The key components of the future might have been Neagle and Gumbleton einstein.

Here in victoria we can have players under 28 who have ability.

Why trade Okeefe, Oh thats right he doesnt fit your game plan in needing hip replacements in the off season like your old list.

Gotta love the arrogance SOME Essendon supporters are showing at the moment. For some reason, the very people that wanted Sheedy reinstated as coach when Knights was appointed, are now the ones proclaiming that it is a process of natural selection that your team is next in line for glory!!

"Here in victoria we can have players under 28 who have ability."
This comment is true but you don't need to be an "Einstein" or a "brain surgeon" to know that there are none at Essendon at the present time!!

Personally I believe that the Sheedy lovers have done a double flip & landed on their feet because I really rate Knights & his calmness towards your players. He is more then many of you "Victorian" Essendon supporters deserve.

Those that abused his appointment & worse still, abused Knights the person should be ashamed of themselves.

Here's hoping you weren't one of them.

Let's get back onto the topic about O'Keefe now.

Some important quotes from the article...

THE SYDNEY Swans’ hopes of keeping Ryan O’Keefe in the red and white next season appear slim after the club’s manager of player personnel Stuart Maxfield confirmed on Monday the star forward wanted to be traded to a Melbourne club.

'Ryan’s indicated to us that he wants to seek a trade in Melbourne,” Maxfield said.

Re: O'keefe Officially quits swans!

The bright sparks over at the AFL have managed to crystal ball a trade for O'keefe which I think might suit Carlton. No chance it will happen though.
http://www.afl.com.au/News/NEWSARTICLE/tabid/208/Default.aspx?newsId=68685

"The Blues' second-round pick (24) would seem to be a fair swap for Warnock, but where's the fun in that. Imagine, just for the sake of the exercise, that Fisher and Bentick want to try their luck elsewhere.OK, keep your eye on selection 26 because it's going on a wild ride.
Fisher is off to Richmond for their pick 26 which is on-traded to Fremantle (plus pick 56) for Warnock - who in turn on-trade the second-rounder to the Bulldogs for Farren Ray.
The Blues and the Dogs swap second-round picks (24 and 26) and Bentick gets a new lease on life at the Dogs for their pick 64.
The Blues then punt pick 26 and 40 to the Swans for Ryan O'Keefe.
The Blues end up with Warnock and O'Keefe while hanging on to their first-round pick.
Easy!"

Nothing ever happens today anyway Porps. Just a day when clubs get together and talk about likely trades. Suspect we won't hear about the first trade for another 24 hours.

LOL, 26 and 40 doesn't equal 6.

North aren't interested in O'Keefe (Laidley said today), thank god for that. Couldn't careless where he goes.

No danger. He wanted to have another crack at a flag

Re: O'keefe OFFICIALLY quits swans!

Our priority isnt O'keefe, but I rwally rate him and imagine having to match up to a forward line that has Lloyd, Lucas, O'keefe and Neagle/Gumbleton...

scarlett, egan, harley milburn, and mackie. maybe even rooke if you catch us on a good day

well egan wasnt playing, and you didnt mention the hawks foward line, you were talking about the essendon one with okeefe in it (stop me here if im wrong). and if i remember almost everyteam beat the bombers this year so im not sure if okeefe will make a huge difference.

Let's get back onto the topic about O'Keefe now.

You are clearly talking out of your backside mate and it shows in your pathetic little rant.

You know nothing about what happened when Sheedy left, you saw the
absolute minority of Essendon supporters who wanted to overthrow the board and re-instate Sheeds ranting on TV and in the media.

Do you really think the media was going to run stories on how most Essendon people realised it was time to move on and head in another direction? Did you not notice how the whole "Save Essendon" movement absolutely fell on its arse because no one bothered to turn up?

You make it out as arrogance that some supporters who wanted to retain Sheeds could actually move past their bias and accept that Matthew Knights was now the coach of Essendon and was doing a pretty good job all things considered.

I don't think you actually know WTF you're trying to say.
