General Trade Week Chat 2011

Where do you guys think Goddard will end up if he leaves the Saints? Only a few select clubs would have enough room in their salary cap I would have thought...

Swans

Snared Jed Bews with our last pick! Very happy with that. Can see him becoming one of those big improvers and hitting his peak at around 24-25.

I am keen to see what happens to Gunston, if they don't take Hawks offer (possible offer that has been rumoured) it means Gunston will walk into the Pre-season draft and that isn't ideal. I want to know what the other clubs are offering for him.
If North do lose Campbell it isn't to bad because we will just use Harvey as a small forward with Thomas - be good to see what happens though and be great to see deals being confirmed.

RICHMOND and Adelaide are at odds on the value of ruckman Ivan Maric. The Crows have been offered Richmond's second-round draft pick at No.37 for Maric. They say this falls short of their wishes.
The Crows want Richmond's first-round draft pick at No.14. The Tigers say this is too costly for Maric

Crows are dreaming if they think Maric is worth pick 14 from the Tigers!

[Narkee]

LOL @ the Crows. I would be taking that and running. Richmond paying overs tbh.

If Richmond want Maric so badly maybe they should throw in a player but who? McGuane? would fit there needs for the Crows, but maybe Tigers would be giving them to much with pick 37 and McGuane.

Second round pick for Maric seems very generous, can't blame Adelaide for trying for more but need to be careful that offer doesn't get pulled on them for being greedy.

NORTH Melbourne is expecting a quiet trade week, with coach Brad Scott dismissing speculation Lachie Hansen and Matt Campbell will find new football homes this week.

"Matty’s a really important part of our plans and he’s expressed his desire to stay at North Melbourne," Scott said.

More generally, Scott did not anticipate much Kangaroos player movement.

"Usually we come in with a fair idea of what’s happening and no one has expressed a desire to leave North Melbourne to me and no other clubs have really expressed a great desire for our players." Scott said.

About time he came out and said something, but seems we might not be as aggressive as he said a few weeks ago in improving the list. Hasn't mentioned names but I think we will be moving players - keeping things close to his chest which is good to see by Scott.

Interesting to see Fremantle bid their pick 16 for Tom Mitchell. I think this indicates it won't be going to Brisbane for Clark, I reckon we are a good chance to rape Brisbane at the table this week.

I thought Mitchell was going to the Swans

[Narkee]

He is but Freo offered their 1st round pick which means the Swans had to use their first rounder in order to secure him.

Cheers mate, that makes sense now - nice move by Freo.

[Athomas]

No-one bidded for Buckley! Happy with that!

Also agree that Maric is not even worth Pick 37, Adelaide so greedy

It seems to be greedy, but it is early in an extended trade week, so they might be just seeing what is out there for a few days. Maybe?

Brisbane really cant be doing much bargaining too hard on the Clark trade. They know that he is going and that they will get nothing for him if he walks, but you dont want to get screwed in a trade. I can see this dragging out all week
