Re: Official 2008 Draft/Trade Thread

What's this "Chosen his preferred club" crap. Seriously, Freo should be shopping him around and getting the best they can, from anyone.

Why give him to the Blues? Unless their offer is the best.

He is out of contract and can go to Melbourne in the PSD for nothing and play with his brother

Freo are not in the strongest bargaining position here

Dermie mentioned on the weekend that we "were into" Thorp and Boyle. The prospect of Thorp at the Kennel would be a very good choice. Boyle on the other hand is another lead up the ground forward type that would not be on my priority list.

If Boyle is a first rounder. Thorp would be two.

Thorp yes, but I'm not sure we can afford to pay them what we'd need to. Boyle, just no.
Saw a rumour that Hawthorn were going to offer Boyle for Mundy at Freo. Now I know these are just rumours but have Hawthorn been taking lessons from the Essendon guys, who have in recent years been my benchmark for trade week hilarity?

The Thorp quote was:

Brereton: I think the Dogs should target Thorp
Robinson: My mail is they're already all over him.

What is he likely to cost?

Were the Hawks keen on Shaun Higgins last year or was that just paper talk?

Might have just been paper talk, but there was alot mentioned. The same talk that had Higgins as akin to untouchable as well.

We enquired about Boyle, they said "we want Higgins" we said "**** off".


If we get into Thorp's ear about opportunity and he asks to be traded we might be in a bit better position. If he cost us Higgins, so be it, I'd do it.


Boyle for Higgins? Surely they were taking the piss.

I'd give them Ray for Thorpe. I think Thorpe re-signed earlier this year?

Wight for Boyle I might consider.

We all would. What makes you think they'd take it?

Nil-all. About all Boyle's worth.

Realistically,

not what we want, or they want,

What would get us Thorp?

I noticed they resigned him but not Dowler...

I see Hawthorn maybe chasing Munday, so Thorpe may be involved in a deal?

Lets WOOF work out the trade.

This is not the final. Picks to be added, feel free to play.

Ray - Freo
Mundy - Hawks
Thorpe - Dogs

What else do we or others have to add to mix to get this deal done?

I dont think Ray alone will get the job done. Have to throw in a 2nd or 3rd rounder.
