ROK - Re signs with swans for 4 years. (Confirmed)

[ScottH]

Yes Thorp re-signed earlier this year and hence can't be traded this year.

Why not?

McIntosh re-signed with the Roos recently, and is being offered up as a trade.

Tim Boyle has been very injury prone.

Well it gets real interesting now, with Hawthorn trying to convince ROK to accept less than the $450k that he received this year.

Hawthorn to meet Swan O'Keefe - realfooty.com.au

From the same article:

O'Keefe was believed to be paid about $450,000 in 2008 ? an amount Hawthorn would struggle to pay next year, given that it would, on current contracts, mean O'Keefe would likely earn more than Lance "Buddy" Franklin in 2009. So it means persuading O'Keefe to accept less than other clubs are willing to offer.

O'Keefe >>> Buddy ??

and Didak signed a new contact this season as well. That rules DOESN'T exsist.

Thorpe is therefore on the table

"We've got interest with Ryan O'Keefe but the issue with Ryan is Sydney have asked for pick six and at this stage we're not giving that up, and 24 is in play with Warnock," Carlton football operations manager Steven Icke said.

So if they're going for pick 6, we should expect a player along with a deal for pick 16. I think we should go for McIntosh and a later (maybe 3rd round) pick in a three-way deal, but that's easier said than done.

What about Morton or Whitecross plus first round pick for ROK.

Morton. Yes please

Pelchen to meet Petroro tonight. Sounds like the major hurdle is ROK's salary and how it fits in with the rest of the Hawks.

Can't believe we have to deal with that pillock Pelchen again. The Swans trade team must be slitting their wrists...

[lachlanc]

Still don't see any action. Hawthorn (or who-ever) will really have to pull a rabbit out of the hat to get him. The PSD is the other option, but does he want to play for Melbourne? I don't think so. Would still bet on him being in red and white in 09, unless he is totally pissed off with the club.....

It's only Tuesday - most deals are done on Friday.

It's only Tuesday - most deals are done on Friday.

And if we're dealing with Pelchen the Pillock then it's 12.57 on Friday

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Pelchen is a @@@@ing tight-arse. Do we always have to deal with the Hawks?
