What? They really don't have a salary cap and the AFEL don't care.

Robbo already engraving Best in Trade Week Trophy for Dodoro.

$1 million plus for Hooker, Hurley, at least $600k for Stringer, Devon Smith and Saad and now $1 million for Shiel. That leaves peanuts for the rest of the team

I wonder if North delisting Hartung was partly due to the assumption that Gaff was going to sign with them. Talk of their being an oral agreement some months ago but for whatever reason Gaff got cold feet and decided to stay in WA.

Daniher is on about $650 too (signed a three year extension for $2 million in 2017).

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Bit rough on Duryea comparing him to Hartung and Honeychurch. Hartung has been delisted twice in 2 years and Honeychurch should be. He barely missed a game in a dominant Hawks team from 2013-16 and played in 2 flags. Also played in the Hawks last final this year.

I definitely are being harsh when you put it like that. I don't know why but I don't rate him, not that my opinion actually holds any value

edit: Maybe I haven't seen enough of him but I never seen him as a player that I would say I wish he played for us. I just don't see him as a player who we should target. I'd rather roll the dice in the draft

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

So WCE lost Lycett and missed out on Lobb. I guess Roughy must be looking more attractive to them.

They have pick 36, but down 3 FA compo, so having pick 39. They won't want to jeopardise their first rounder for Lycett, so I wonder if they rate Roughy enough to trade their pick 39 (even if we have to throw pick 63 of 80 back)?

Edit: Their next pick after 39 is 71 which is a no deal from me. So unless there's a player we are wanting, it's pick 39 or nothing.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

So considering Shiel had a tough time picking, why not leave it in GWS's hands to get a deal done with one of the suitors?

So if Essendon are offering unders to GWS (as per usual), Carlton and whoever else can say "yeah, we'll pay the same coin to him but here is a better deal than that Dodora tightarse will give you".

This doesn't help us in the Stringer mess (as Essendon were really the only ones keen in the end) but at least in the Shiel scenario the club retains some power and is able to play off the four super keen suitors to squeeze as much worth as possible.

It's as if as soon as a player nominates, the clubs have no option but to trade exclusively with that club.

Means they have to offload .. we might end up with Hurley in the end .

Hurley squeezd out by Shiel? I highly doubt it. We're more likely to end up with Stringer.

The club has a no fatties policy. So there's no fat chance of that happening...

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Oh well, even if Shiel gets to Dodoland the silver lining is it's another rat off the sinking GWS ship ... and with it being more and more apparent the Giants' window's slamming shut I hope Sam Power's all over Josh Kelly like a stink on a monkey.

It's been reported that Hickey is their preferred target, Roughy number 2 choice. Hopefully the saints want too much for Hickey and we can negotiate a reasonable return for Roughy. Or he just stays and provides some much needed depth.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Bizarre how Carlton were all over Shiel to be honest .
They’re 3 or 4 years away in which he’ll be 30 . They need to keep that number 1 pick
