Trade Talk

Mate I'm not sure this should be posted.

Cool. Will take down.

Mods - can you spare my blushes and delete all reference.

RB might wanna do the same Hazey

As is to be expected really. The list is pretty healthy for where we are at. Hale is the only guy in the older bracket that we don't really need to keep that has any trade value.

Any feedback on the prospective value of Hale on the market?

Yeah I said quite a while back that I got the feeling that Brad wouldn't be one to delve into the realms of trade week ala Michael Voss. He seems to be on the other spectrum. More a teacher of his current crop, which is a great thing.

Regarding Hale, I was told it relatively depends on demand, although nothing better than a 2nd Round pick.

Nothing we don't already know.

What does that mean?

 

[Hazey1977]

I'm stoked that you think my mind powers are to the level where I can now influence fellow Roo fans on BF from a mere 20K km's away B-Tron.

That said, less than one week till I hit the Roo shop in person.

Hmmm what would people's thoughts in this be? Straight swap or nothing or they give us their third rounder and The V.

Both showed a lot of promise that neither has so far been able to take the next step. Of the two, Vez has been injury prone as well, not sure I would be paying a premium for someone who is struggling with the body at a young age.

I have concerns about Urqs, not that I think he has no talent, he has more talent than guys like Pratt and Firrito but those two are easily better options than him at present.

I think it is a bit of a cop out he has been moved to play a midfield role, I don't think he is going to make it there. We will likely be looking for another quality midfielder this year in the draft and he couldn't crack in the side with Anthony and Ziebell out long-term. Competition for places will be very high next year. Anthony and Bastinac are monties for the wing position he was hoping to play.

He should have fought to regain his half back role, to see Mcmillan get games ahead of him in that area is a sad reflection of where he is atm. I think he is caught in limbo like Hale was when moved to play a different position and lost his chance to compete for what is his best position.

 

[Bozz.Clunker.H]

What are peoples opinions of Gavin Urquhart?

I can't see us trading him, purely because of his talent level. His problem seems to be purely confidence, and at 22 i could see him being one of those players that explode onto the scene in a couple years.

Gav's limitations can be summed up in one small sentence.

Gav can't get his own ball.

How often has anyone seen him win a one on one contest?

He is a negating run with player that is used as a release player when his teammates get the ball.

Pretty much sums it up.

Just doesnt appear to have many footy "smarts". Maybe a change of scenery would be good for him.

Why was the V man out of the Swans senior side when that #33, Jarrod Moore, was getting a game?

 

[year of the roo]

Note to all: Have spoken with someone close to the Carlton FC and with someone at West Coast whom have given me no indication that North Melbourne will be busy during trade week.
In-fact, expect us to do next to nothing come trade week apart from possibly Hale moving on for a pick.

In BON we trust.

Um lol.

Why would anyone at Carlton or West Coast know what we are going to do?

If they did, why would they tell you?

I was under the impression that this is what you look like Hazey.

The kid has ability, so the logical consclusion would be that the Sydney coaching staff knew he wasn't going to be at the club post 2010. Veszpremi was tearing it up with the Sydney reserves side during the season.

Cheers man, Last thing I want is a visit from Euge!

Word from the Sydney board is that the reserves coaches have been pissed off at him because his lack of fitness damages their team structures. Sounds like he needs to extract the digit.

I guess it's a problem with having your reserves play in such a rubbish standard comp. Young blokes can get away with playing well while doing the bare minimum.

I could be wrong, but didn't Vezpremi kick a few against us at SCG in 09?

That might have something to do with it but if he can't get fit enought to be able to see out a full game in that crap comp, surely that means there are other problems. Besides, he trains with the rest of the seniors. If you ask me it sounds like an attitude issue. If Ben10 felt that he was unconditioned it would be guaranteed that he would do something about it off his own bat.

Brad Scott will get him fit!

OK, I was hoping he is not injury-prone. He was promising a year or two back but appears to have peaked.

Maybe a swap for Gav would be good for both players. Just a swap - no draft picks from us to them.

Can someone confirm he's not related to Mark Powell?

 

[Twinkletoes]

I don't want Gav to leave. Not until all efforts to maximise his potential have been exhausted.

Agree TT. Geeze we're all a bit impatient these days eh?

The kids is still 21-22 and his talents didn't just disappear. The development path isn't always linear.

 

[itcouldbeworse]

I think Houli would be a great get for the roos. quick player with alot of skill. I think he would complement a team like the roo's who have a fair few in and under players. Given he seems to be on the outer at essendon for some reason i doubt the price of getting him would be to high. i would love a straight swap for one of your many ruckmen ahha
