That is hardly a revelation.

It has been apparent since early season that Sherman does not fit with McCartney in charge.

I still expect hin to show he can play if he finds a home where they encourage him to play to his strengths.

Anyone concerned that Will has yet to sign a new deal? Last I heard a deal sounded imminent, but his name showing on lists of those players still eligible for unrestricted free agency.

Chris knight's in a direct swap?
I'm thinking Essendon may look at him. Don't know who they would trade for him, Dyson?
I would prefer we get a pick for him, if we cannot get a 3rd round or a player that addresses our needs, we retain him.

Hope the club gets this done ASAP, a handshake agreement ain't worth a pinch of salt.
Look at NRL's Beu Ryan from Tigers to Sharks.

I disagree. We aim to get a good pick, and if more than one club is interested Hopefully we can start the worlds lamest bidding war, but in the interests of both club and player, We let him go even if the offer is below his real worth. Why? If he's no use to us then why retain him? It only means we delay his delisting/trade one more year. Unless Macca legitimately sees him as a potential part of his plans there is no point hanging onto him for the sake of the difference between pick 52 and pick 72.

That would be the biggest non-trade since the Paul Sharkey straight swap for Shannon Gibson between Hawthorn and Collingwood about 15-odd years ago. The only winner out of that trade was Officeworks because it was a waste of fax paper.

Ex power and current crows player brad symes was cut by the crows this week a few days after winning the Margarey

Totally agree, I don't want Dyson. I hope BMac agrees.

Yep - and we'd probably have to pay part of his salary too, swapping him for another fringe type.
Sherman from Brissie was definately a trade to forget

That's the way I see it panning out as well. Paid overs for Sherman, big time and we'll have to partially pay his contract out. I'd happily take a 4th round pick for him if another team is willing to offer that much.

According to this article, he's signed.

Sorry I can't see it.
Says he is a unrestricted free agent.

I can't see anything either where it says he has re-signed.

VICTORIAN clubs have been placed on alert after West Coast midfielder Koby Stevens confirmed he wants a trade out of Perth.

Stevens is expected to move to the Western Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs have been strongly interested in the tough 22-year-old for several months, as Stevens failed to impress Eagles coach John Worsfold for a call-up with consistent performances with beaten WAFL grand finalists East Fremantle.

Essendon and Melbourne also have keen interest in Stevens, who informed Eagles management he wanted to pursue his career elsewhere.

West Coast contracts manager Craig Vozzo said the club was extremely disappointed at Stevens' decision.

“Unfortunately, Koby has informed us that he would be seeking to be traded to another club in pursuit of further opportunities,” Vozzo said.

“That’s extremely disappointing because we saw him as an important player in a developing midfield.

“Koby is a young player with some terrific attributes and we had hoped he would remain with our club to be a part of what we believe we are building towards.

"Having said that, we understand and respect Koby’s decision, and will work to ensure a suitable outcome for all parties.”

Stevens was taken with selection 23 in the 2009 draft and has played 11 games in his three seasons at the club.

In other changes, forward Ryan Neates and rookies Michael Mascoulis, Anton Hamp and Callum Papertalk have all been delisted.
