Rumour The Thread formerly known as the rumour file, now with zero rumours

We had the 1 and 2 from the 05 draft reunite this year, might as well reunite Walker and Cooney. Next year we can target Cotchin and pair him up with Kreuzer. Reckon we pass on Gumbleton but.

While we're at it, we should reunite the 12th and 13th picks from 2009!

how about we just swap them

Obviously Richmond haven't realised that trade week has started. They haven't offered up their 2nd pick for Davey Ellard yet.

 

[Sublime]

10.19am: Trade Radio's Cameron Luke says Carlton youngster Kane Lucas met with West Coast yesterday and is set to meet with Freo today. Would be a handy pick-up for both, think the Eagles could use him more.

 

[Sheephead]

I would think, our big fish, up north, is Sam Reid, without too much thinking.

We chased him last year, we need KPF, he is 22 and 290+ days old, he is starved of opportunities currently, he fits...

Just wondering what you and maybe others reckon Reid would be worth?

 

[AlecDuncan]

SEN suggesting that the Dogs want to off load Adam Cooney. Suggesting Carlton and Essendon both keen (Dons maybe as part of the Ryder deal).

Yeah, I heard that bullshit too. If you want proof that "journalists" just make shit up, this is Exhibit A. During trade week they can't even be bothered to make up something plausible.

Cooney was a great player in his day, but his knees have been cooked for years now.

The Swans would ask for pick 7.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

The Swans would ask for pick 7.

If we pay overs for Reid I'll hang myself.

I know Waite is a loss, but there's no rule that says you have to replace one frustratingly inconsistent tall with another.

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

Highly doubt that pick 7 will be used in a trade at this stage unless something really really good comes up. Mick is pretty keen on adding talent through the draft.

Why would a club seriously want Cooney. His best days are so far behind him it's not funny.

How are we going to get KJ?

When he was playing forward, he was looking the goods. Then with the introduction of Tippett and Buddy, he has been forced to change his game.
I'd love him at our club up forward.

No doubt he would a high pick. Not sure what that would be but, its tough when we don't have picks sitting between 10-20.

Reid, Hendo, Cas, Jaksch, Jones all shuffling through the forwardline would make for a decent marking group.
Not so sure on the kicking though...

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

How are we going to get KJ?

Not with pick 7 thats for sure. Unless we find our way back into the first round, we won't be getting Jaksch unless it's pick 27 and other picks/ player.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Collingwood offering Greenwood 4 years at $400k...

Greenwood has officially requested a trade there, as you would when North only offered him a 1 year deal.

 

[Jeremias]

Hilarious move by Collingwood if true.

 

[ESKIE]

Greenwood out of favour at norf

Not worth #7 for mine, but if we could somehow turn #7 and #28 into somewhere around the #12 and #20 mark for Reid and Jaksch respectively, I'd take it. Reckon Jones might baulk if we did that but so be it.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Not with pick 7 thats for sure. Unless we find our way back into the first round, we won't be getting Jaksch unless it's pick 27 and other picks/ player.

Is this going down to the wire?

Sanity prevails

 

[Sam The Doc]

Hilarious move by Collingwood if true.

Why? I rate him, he is a gun.
Massive fail by North if they lose him due to bringing in Higgins.

 

[HBF]

Hilarious move by Collingwood if true.

Smacks of desperation.

High price for someone who has played 1 decent season, looks like a bit of a desperate move to offset the loss of Beams.

So do I but not at that price.

North have barely broke even now, probably behind in the long run.

It's hard though, it's like Gibbs or Murphy just leaving out of the blue.
You have no choice but to go after someone.
