Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

It would be seriously weird and awesome if Trengove has been chiselling away all year and helps us land Winged.

Combine that with his solid finish to the year and you'd have to say he's been a quality pick up.

There's been a couple of little easter eggs from Trengove on Instagram to Chad throughout the year....

I certainly hope that's not one of our players speaking to an opposition player about joining our team .

Suddenly I think it should be encouraged.

The legends were true ... Steven May has formally told the Suns he wants out to Victoria.

Unfortunately the Pies seem to be the destination.

C'mon Sam Power, give him something to think about.

May suits the Pies. He can continue to be a thug and they will encourage it.

There seem to be rumours about Roughead of Hawthorn going to another team to play next year to transition into coaching.

I hope like *!*!*!*! we are not having any conversations with him about it. He's beyond cooked as a player.

He looks painfully slow tonight against Melbourne. He seems a beat behind everyone else.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

SYDNEY has been linked with a shock play for West Coast Eagles star Andrew Gaff this trade period.

A rumour swirling through football circles suggests the Swans have jumped into the race for the All Australian midfielder — ignoring reports North Melbourne has already offered the 26-year-old a deal worth up to $7.7 million...more please press link.

Reckon Gaff is North bound.

Still no WCE commitment, and even the way the whole Mark Brayshaw defence of Gaff played out, even meeting with Gaff’s parents, to ease all the tension in the West when the rest of the Brayshaw family were taking a far less conciliatory approach to the strike on Andrew.

So if we add Trent Bartlett and Kingsley Hunter to our list we will increase our average age and should quickly rise up the ladder!

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

North are strongly rumoured to be adding both Polec and Gaff. For a team that performed pretty well this year how much of a difference will these two are likely to make for them?

Also Port appear to be getting a 1st round pick for Polec and perhaps Wingard as well and they have their own pick 9. In a draft that has a very strong contingent of players from SA They have positioned themselves well to take advantage of that.

Last year it was all about acquiring players via Free Agency and they even let Trengove leave for nothing and this year they see to have a focus on testing the market for their players a year before they might be lost to FA so they can better control the compensation.
If that part is true it's going to be something a lot of clubs follow and we will see an even greater level of players moving clubs.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

North to me are a fairly capable inside and contested team who lack a bit of polish, so adding Gaff and Polec would be huge for them. They would start the season as top 8 contenders and with a few things going their way could challenge.

Port have had their dash with the current list and making some significant changes to retool and get a little bit younger is a good idea, particularly with the SA talent on offer. They've got a 3-4 year window with some of their aging players and a quick refresh will give them a chance for that, and sure up their future.

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

If port got north’s pick 10 for Polec and our pick 7 for wingard, that gives them 7,9 and 10. I could see them sending 2 of those pics to GC for pick 3 to nab 1 of luko, Rankine or Rozee, and get possibly hatley with the other.
