Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion
It'd be funny if because there were so many trades going on that they had forgotten who was waiting for who.
"Hang on, aren't we waiting for you to do the Beames deal before we can do the Adams deal?" "No, I'm sure we are waiting for the Neale deal to go through before we can do the May deal!"
"Oh shit we've run out of time"They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.Comment

JORDAN Roughead will play for Collingwood next year.
The Western Bulldogs premiership ruckman has agreed to join the Magpies and is set to be traded before Wednesday’s 8.30pm deadline.
Roughead, 27, had told the Bulldogs he would explore his free agency options and appeared set to join West Coast after superstar Nic Naitanui underwent a second knee reconstruction.
But the Eagles instead traded in Tom Hickey from St Kilda. Securing Roughead as a free agent would’ve diluted their compensation selection for losing Scott Lycett to Port Adelaide.
Roughead toured North Melbourne’s Arden St headquarters on Friday as the Kangaroos were signing off on the deal to send back-up ruckman Brayden Preuss to Melbourne.
The Kangaroos have also been linked to former Fremantle ruckman Zac Clarke, although Clarke will not be joining the club.

Free agency closed at 5pm Friday but Roughead is still certain to join the Magpies, most likely in exchange for a late draft pick in either this year or next year’s draft.
The Pies hold three selections in the 50s in next month’s draft — No. 51, 56 and 57.
Roughead could bolster Collingwood’s ruck stocks or key defensive stocks as backmen Matthew Scharenberg and Lynden Dunn recover from knee reconstructions.
He will be remembered at the Bulldogs for a critical contested mark from a Sydney kick-out deep in the last quarter during the 2016 Grand Final."I'll give him a hug before the first bounce and then I'll run into my pack and give them orders to rip him apart."Comment

Sorry to see him go, but it's clearly the best for everybody that it happens. I hope he finds his groove again at the Pies.
Regardless, he'll never have to buy a beer in Footscray."It's over. It's all over."Comment

Roughheads lack of durability makes him a liability but I wonder if he was worth keeping as a heart and soul player. They are simply invaluable and we basically gave away several list spots last year.Comment

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion
Just thinking a bout this Dogs to Collingwood move by one of our players. Not a particularly well worn trail over the years.
Can only think of George Bissett, Laurie Sandilands, Jon Ballantyne and Tyson Lane..
We’ve had countless come the other way, but Roughie’s joining rare company. Good luck to him. He’s been a good clubman.Comment
