McVeigh already in Sydney?

[Dudley]

Rumours floating around today that Bomber softcock Mark McVeigh has already moved back home to Sydney and asked the Bummers for a suitable trade

[timbo]

is he that good though? compared to what we have and need

[barry]

He'd be great. Straight swap for Fosdike.

Whoever we get as our midfield recruit, there will be little room for Fosdike, so might as well use him in a trade.

[midaro]

McVeigh for Fosdike - six of one...

[SWANSBEST]

In previous years I was not too impressed with McVeigh and thought that he was a little soft. But this season he has been harder at the ball , tacking has improved and delivering the ball to position with precision( usually). IMO he would be a good pick up.

[chammond]

Let O'Keefe go home - straight swap for McVeigh. Perfect win-win result.

[caj23]

nah, stuff trading o'keefe, if mcveigh really wants to come to sydney give them our 2nd round pick, the precedent has already been set

[Reggi]

M McVeigh would have to be a low priority - wouldn't even consider trading him for Fozzie.

2nd rnd pick or something.

For krristss' sake keep O'Keefe

He hasn't moved back to Sydney, he's been up there for two weeks, staying at his family's house. I haven't heard anything about him asking for a trade to Sydney, though he is out of contract at the end of the year.

In any case the club has signed Scott Lucas.

I agree with Reggi - and keep ROK at ALMOST any cost. If he wants to go, well OK, we've lived through that before, but I want him here.

he is a coasty, and ive seen him down at terrigal before and my (very inebriated and footy ignorant) mate tried to pick a fight with him, it was very funny...

ROK is a high impact player without needing possessions, he got his one vote for 10 possessions, 2 marks, 1.2, and one tackle... we dont want to keep okeefe, we NEED him!

[Roscoe]

Only trade "pebbles" if he wants to go home.

The older McVeigh would be OK but lets really screw the bombers
as they have really dumped duds like Bomford and O'Connor onto us before.

We held our ground on the Davis trade and got the local boy home realitivley cheaply , lets do the same if the same arises with McVeigh

Lets face it we would have had a couple of flags by now if we had of made the right decisions

ie not sold carey

picked hird with our priority ACT picks

picked Voss instead of Gaspar

[Craig]

Any suggestion of trading O'Keefe are crazy. He is a bloody valuable player and is going to be very good.

McVeigh is still a middle tier player who is never going to be a star, so might not be any point at getting him at all. He doesn't seem to add anything to our team.

I would trade a 3rd round draft pick for him at best.

Some things happen for a reason. If we'd done as you suggest, would Paul Kelly ever have had enough room to become the champion he did? We would never had needed to recruit Plugger. Or Roos for that matter, and we'd probably have a different coach today.

McVeigh v. Fosdike:

McVeigh:
- Physical & aggressive.
- Sound defensively. A good tackler.
- A bit inconsistent. Generally solid, with the occasional blinder.
- Great disposal skills. Dangerous in front of goal.
- Lacks endurance, not a speedster.

Fozzie:
- Fast, super fit.
- Very inconsistent. Can be brilliant one week, nowhere the next.
- Questionable disposal skills. Has missed very gettable goals.
- Excellent in attack, moves the ball forward well, but
- Quiet in defence. Doesn't seem to like getting physical.

As Midaro says, 6 of one...

RyanO is a must keep -- completely agree there.
