TRADE ... Steven Morris and pick 15 to Richmond from GWS for pick 14. GWS pre-listed Morris as he has nominated for the draft b4

So GWS give up a player and move up one spot in the draft?

Matt Bate has asked to be traded from Melbourne, I say get him.

I say don't touch him with a barge pole.

correct. Melbourne gain aplayer but go from pick 14 to 15

Why not?
Think he lost it with Melbourne this year.
I think he is a hard footballer just what Macca wants

If McCartney wants someone to make Gia and Cross look quick perhaps ...

Not up to AFL, should be delisted IMO.

Can't see who or why anyone would want him.

Hard?? Hardly good might be a better description.

His only decent game in the last 3 years was when opposed to Andrejs Everitt... hardly a good form guide.

Re: The 2011 draft and trading thread

He seems ideally suited to the third tall role, and we have perhaps the best third tall in the business in Morris

I cant see what Bower would add for us. To the best of my knowledge he's not a massive weapon by foot coming out of defence.

Has an efficiency rate of about 84% by foot and wins a decent amount of footy. Could see him being a more then adequate replacement for Hargrave over the next few years

Re: The 2011 draft and trading thread

so has Setanta O'Hailpin

Mark Stevens reckons Eade try to get OHalpin last trade period.

I think he is definately worth looking at but I would not be prepared to give up much for him. Had a horrible year with injury but when he was playing last year he did give them some run out of defense and did use it effectively most of the time. He does remind me of shaggy though the way he runs around.

Any interest in Ben Ross? Im a fan, has pace and uses the footy well. Was unlucky with injury at North but is still early 20's and could fit a need.

If he was any good, surely North would have kept him. If there's anything they need, it's pace and skill.

I would be. i think this kid can really play and if we could get his body right he could become more than just a handy player for us.
