I wonder if ABC's Whitey is taking the piss

TRADE NEWS: Brendan Fevola will be doing a press conference at Wet 'n Wild on the Gold Coast at 4pm

[Hartijon]

Congratulations to our recruiting team! Great Week's Work! You have set us up beautifully to cover our losses with players of more potential to improve. You have kept two first round picks in the last good draft for 2 years and we still have money to grab something good from the PSD. The next Premiership owes a debt to you guys!!

[UglyDuckling]

Agreed all in all a pretty good weeks trading for us. Excited about round 1 next year

He'd probably do a hammy getting on the team bus. Rumour was he was on his way to the Cats but failed the medical.

Steve Johnson failed a medical not too long ago...

After reading on what he actually did to injure himself, I'm not surprised he failed the medical.

Grand Final day?

Ball will sign the three yearer with the Saints as I don't reckon he'd want to go to Tankers or Wretchmond.

Very happy with what we've done, 6 & 14 should bring two classy youngsters.

Relationship St Kilda/Lyon/Ball is in shreds - he will walk. Better to be guaranteed a regular game than be on the sidelines week in week out. They've pulled the original offer and negotiations will need to start again, which gives an insight into their mindset. And it isn't a particularly warm or fuzzy picture!

It's a million to one he'd still be available by the time we get a crack in the PSD, but if he were there, would be a very handy Kirk replacement in a few years time.

[lwjoyner]

Why a few years, Kirky getting closer to the end. Great idea if we could get him.

[Go Swannies]

Rumour has it that he's out of favour because he hasn't gone for the Lyons "all for the team" and "work hard" ethic so unlikely PR would take him if RL doesn't want him.

And about 1/10th of what you read on redandwhiteonline.com

We only post factualities on RWO!!

And you're not on your Pat Malone!!

The Swans 'team' obviously knew who they wanted and went after them. I wish they had held out for better deals in some cases but all you positive thinkers out there have convinced me that all is very good so far. At least we didn't get Fev, as tempting as it must have been to try, and Ed hasn't been given the heave ho - yet!

[hammo]

It's quite bizarre that people thought we should take a punt on Fevola while Luke Ball of all people is beyond salvation simply because he has fallen out with Roosy's good mate Rossy Lyon.
