2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

I'm not suprised. 1/ who wants to play at North or St Kilda? 2/ why would you want the pressure of a million dollar contract when you are barely established as an AFL footballer? 3/ some people (unlike, say, Callan Ward for instance) have a bit of dignity and remember who gave them their break and don't go running off with the first suitor to flutter their eyes in their direction. Jordan do Gooey will still make an obscene amount of money, he will be a club legend (instead of attracting ridicule for missing a premiership and being despised by the supporter base of his original, unlike, say, Callan Ward for instance)

Good for de a Gooey, it sounds like his management have half a brain and an eye to the long game,

Any interest in Polec?

Offers plenty of what we need, run, carry, pace, decent skills, etc.

The problems I see are that surely if he leaves it would be for cash since he's originally from SA and returned there from Brisbane. In which case teams like North or St Kilda are likely to offer him more than we can. Also he would probably demand a late first, early second round pick at worst, obviously an issue given we don't have any of those and we need picks for draft points as well.

Wow as Axe Man says he has what we need. But he seriously can’t be thinking of going to a third club?!

Left-field trade targets

That's a pretty basic article that you could bring up about 20 players on every list to say that with.

I would approach with caution. When he arrived from Brisbane he was apparently in worse than terrible condition and allegedly had a penchant for partying. Apparently they took him aside and gave him quite a bollocking and I'm hazy but I think he may have been initially banished from the club till he presented in a better condition. He actually trained a little with a Div. 2 amateur club where I know a few guys and apparently he would be trailing behind in everything they did.

Obviously he was able to get his shit together (at least physically) but my worry would be that maybe he doesn't meet the no dickheads policy. Also, on the back of the 2017 rumours about our group do we really risk adding a bloke who has a reputation (although to be fair it might have just been when at Brisbane) when our first pick could also be a bloke with big question marks on him (Rankine)?

North have reportedly offered Polec a long term deal in excess of $700,000 per season.

If that's true and Polec doesn't take it his parents should disown him.

Would be a nice little nugget for Norf after missing out on LeBron.

What's the point of a war chest if you can't spend it?

Laughable.

Of course. But is it spending by offering Polec that much, or squandering?

They were right into Ronaldo too until Juventus came on the scene.
