Solomon & Kepler Bradley

Kepler Bradley is actually a very good example.

Bradley wanted to go home to Perth and Freo offered their 3rd round pick. Sheedy wanted a 2nd rounder and told Freo if they wouldn't pony up he would delist him and let Freo take their chances in the draft.

Freo did and drafted him with their 4th rounder.

Silly old Sheeds. Remember when he offered up a 2nd round pick for Scott West at the end of 2004 - he was so generous he offered to throw in Darren Walsh for nothing, even though he was about to be delisted by Sheeds

I see he had another crack at Jobe Watson and the Bombers in the media this week. He's like Kennett, both of them are addicted to fame and profile, and they need to say something 'controversial' in the media every so often to keep feeding their addiction.

While I am not here to defend Sheeds, who is not actually a bad bloke, the Bradley delisting did occur at the end of 07. Sheeds had already been farewelled and Libba's serial bleeder mate appointed to the Essendon position.

Susan Boyle has more currency - maybe Pelchan can try and swindle her into a lop-sided trade

Now that Hawthorn are clearly very keen to talk turkey during trade week, it will be very interesting to see if any clubs bother returning calls from that scumbag Pelchan. If I was North, I'd tell him they can have Gibson but it will cost one of Hodge or Rioli, and if he doesn't like it he can piss off.

Essendon developed a very average list in the last 4 years under Sheedy because clubs flat-out refused to deal with the Bombers any more during trade week. This meant Essendon could not improve their list at the trade table, and more importantly they could not off-load any of the duds from their list - and Sheeds being a stubborn bugger refused to delist the likes of Mark Bolton and Henneman until a blind man could see they were not going to make it at AFL level. Same thing could very well happen to the Hawks.

Pelchan has a very untrustworthy smarmy smile. He looks like former Kiwi cricketer ken Rutherford

Let's not forget Adam Campbell who had his supporters last trade period, who has now been delisted by the mighty Dockers.

From memory the club chased him too.
It's not just the Bulldogs who have a history of failed talls.
