See the poll below:


Should we be going after Spida???

I think the tide of popular opinion may be turning.....

We're an impatient lot here.

The longer this crap goes on ... the more I don't want Spida.
We would have been happy for him on Monday, but hell, it's Thursday now, and I for one, am over him and his and the Dawks petty little asks.

I'm not impatient (*she says laughing her head off*), I just like to speculate.

How does that work with the Veteran thing?

I have heard this also, but I always thought the rule was 10 years at one club and 30 years of age.

Did he spend 10 seasons at the Saints did he?

I presume Robert Harvey is already on the Saints' veteran list. Do they have anyone else? Hudgston?

They've updated the Trade website ...

W**kermanis' details are yet to be updated

Shane Birss (Western Bulldogs) has been traded to St Kilda for StK's 4th round draft selection (no. 59 overall).

There's movement at the station ....

And I suspect that I'd not like to play poker against Roos.

Why not?

I think the Swans have developed a reputation over the last few years of trading fair. If they want a player, they have shown a willingness to pay a reasonable cost for him. Most people thought that late first round picks for Jolly and Richards were a little bit over the odds but clearly the club decided that was how they valued them and they didn't unduly haggle.

Again in this case, the Swans moved reasonably quickly from their opening stance (3rd round pick) to one that probably represents reasonable middle ground and a price that most think is "fair" for Spider (2nd round pick). I think their behaviour indicates that they do actually want to get the trade done at a fair price for all, and aren't particularly interested in the machismo posturing that Hawks seem to have decided is the main objective of trade week.

I hope the club really has walked away and doesn't intend negotiating any more, even to the extent of having removed the (reported) offer of the second round pick.

If we get Spider through the PSD, so be it. If not, I'm sure the club will cope, and maybe we'll see a Shaw or Rowe really step up to the plate in 2007 and a fit Doyle and Jolly.

told ya nothing would happen before Friday.....

the Birss trade is pretty inconsequential... But I would have thought he was worth more than that!! He's a regular after all.

So's Ablett, but that doesn't mean he's not tradeable.

I know why he was a wanted player: Birss. Butterss. Voss.

What about Hayess? Or Brookss? Or Wattss?

Who's playing the part of Cain, Kirner or Bracks to completely root it...?

Could be anyone of the Carlton board, after all they turned Carlton into a financial basket case just like Cain and Kirner did to Victoria.

Does anyone know the order of the PSD? My thinking is the swans just need to swap for a higher PSD pick than the saints have. For which, i think they could offer one of the clubs their 3rd round pick in the draft.
If tehy do this, we get a guaranteed Everit pick, and for far less than we have offered the Talkers...

Would make sense, but there's no facility for trading picks in the PSD.

Not many clubs will participate in the PSD.

Depends on salary cap and if their list is full after trading. They must select three players in the National Draft.

Even by the standards of trade week, this one has been extremely dull - way to kill off any enthusiasm for footy whatsoever, AFL!

StKilda have said today that they are definately not going for Spida at all.Which starts makes Hawthorn look pretty silly indeed today when they said they don't care if Spida ends up in the PSD. Surely they would rather the 3rd rd pick or even the reported 2nd rd pick than to not get anything at all. Just crazy,i think they will come around late tomorrow.
