2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

So he's very, very gettable, and not going to cost much trade wise. That's worthy of the most serious consideration. A mature, experienced player, a leader, a goal kicker and a good footy brain to help other forwards and then coach them. Again, interesting.

It is. I suppose Carlton with Bolton would take a serious look too but hopefully Bevo can work his magic. I still think it's unlikely he will depart from the Hawks though.

Yep, he certainly bleeds for them. But Clarkson just told every other 17 clubs that they can pick up Roughead for virtually nothing, providing he gets a coaching gig afterwards. That's not a talking point, that's an aggressive sales pitch and offer to invite conversations with Hawthorn and Rougheads manager. I guess we sit and watch to the trade window whether he quits and stays there as an assistant coach or whether he thinks he has good footy in him and wants to keep playing. Hawthorn by media reports are chasing Lynch & Shiel very hard. They need his salary freed up. Seems weird to be talking about it when you're in the finals and the player in question is your captain.

I like the idea of Roughie, but we would have to seriously look at how we managed him.
Rest every five or so games and limited interstate trips.

Plus how do you fit him in a side with Schache, Boyd, English and Trengove?

I just heard on SEN he isn’t going anywhere and will be in gold and brown next year.

Carlton have long been identified as being into McGovern...i hope the AFL don't jerry this by giving them an early priority pick so they can both keep pick 1 and satisfy a trade with the Crows.

I think there's a chance if the rumour mongering about Crows wanting Young is true. Then there's just two contracted players, so both clubs have control, and topping up the trade to their satisfaction. If Wallis goes then I'd go as hard as we can. Why you ask? Because if he goes that opens up salary cap to get the deal, and maybe second rounder or if Dahl gets an end of first rounder, that pick. Why again I hear? Well Wallis kicked 20 goals this year in a team that struggled to kick goals. If Wallis leaves, we need to find somebody who can instantly bring 20+ goals to the team next season just to break even on what Wallis gave this year. McGovern as a 190cm medium forward who can play tall too, would bring us that goal and scoreboard return. So I'd have a few messages in the Adelaide list managers phone already. If Wally indicated today he is going, best make another call now Sam Power.

I can't get past the fact that his mate looks like Bontempelli and Redpath had a kid together.

Brisbane prepared to offer pick 4 for Lachie Neale and he’s apparently interested (why wouldn’t you want to get out of freo?)
