Far fetched trade rumours

Post them here.
I like the Chris Dawes one so far, lets hope it's BS.

Exactly. Why do we need to resort to such crap?

The Roughy for Lake discussion was a joke. It followed some earlier talk about how supporters always over-rate their own players.

To me it's funny but I bet some people believe it.
Also like the Richmond fans one where we give up 5 and 6 for Martin and pick 9.
They get Tyson.

Where the Essendon's Hennemen trade offer this year?
Or the one we give them a bag of chips.

The current one that might make you laugh is Melbourne's pick 4 for Dawes and Wellingham. Damian Barrett proposed that one, and to me it speaks volumes for him when no-one on BigFooty is taking it seriously.

Update:

Healy (whose brother is on the Melbourne Board) is saying on 3AW that Melbourne is interested in trading Wellingham and Dawes for pick 4. Surely not?

We dont want collingwood with pick 4.

Will believe that when it happens. Neitz would have to be an undercover spy for the pies.
Imagine the uproar if they trade 4 away after having to use pick 3 on Viney.

May as well shift to Tassie next season and start over.

Only upside to the trade for Melbourne is that Wellingham and Dawes are both AFL standard players. Melbourne have burned so many first round draft picks of late that maybe they'd be better trading picks for established players.

Re: Far fetched trade rumours

I'd be staggered if Melb do this.
They either don't trust their recruiting or they haven't seen Chris Dawes play for 2 years!

Anyone else getting the feeling that the Dees want rapid brought in improvement next season?

Re: Far fetched trade rumours

Some of the Melbourne posters on BF are claiming that Melbourne approached Collingwood and proposed pick 4 for Wellingham, Dawes and pick 18. Collingwood countered with pick 4 for Wellingham and Dawes.

Wellingham doesn't want to go to Melbourne so it's null and void.

That's the story from Wellingham's Manager.

After so many years of "rebuilding" it's not surprising.
Dawes & Clarke will play for the next 6-7 years at least, only Byrnes seems like a stop-gap.
