Why is it on here that everybody knows during the year that the Melbourne media know fricking nothing about our club, players or what we are doing.
But suddenly come trade time, they come up with pie in the sky crap like that and you beleive it.
I am sure White would be up for trade for say either Reiwoldt, but is that going to happen............................................ ...................

Because it gives people like you something to be self righteous about. If you dont like it feel free not to read it. It wont bother me.Why is it on here that everybody knows during the year that the Melbourne media know fricking nothing about our club, players or what we are doing.

That is an insult to the intelligence of a sheep dog. I would back a Smithfield or Border Collie against Sherman any day in an IQ test
Imagine Sherman on our Mad Monday with Ted..."We're playing Scrabble now"..."What's Scrabble?"Last edited by satchmopugdog; 19 September 2010, 06:20 PM."The Dog days are over, The Dog days are gone" Florence and the MachineComment

I can tell you for a fact that all remaining senior listed players are up for trade for the right deal.
If the Suns were stupid enough to throw up a top 3 draft pick for White then yes he "would" be up for trade but that aint going to happen when someone like Scotty Clayton is in charge of their recruiting (we are not dealing with the Dockers).
White is now at a stage in his career that means he is more valuable to us than his worth on the free market, due to the amount of development we have put in and his potential.
It means that we would be reluctant to let him go for anything less than a mid to late first rounder due to what he might be capable of doing and another club would be fearful of offeirng that for him due to the still sizeable risk that he won't make it as a senior footballer on an AFL list if he can't sort a few issues out.
Same reason the Swans won't delist or trade Currie this year.
Therefore 99.9% of cases like this, end with these types of players staying.

Polo would not be in our best 25 and there's no upside to him so a big no. I reckon he was a pick in the teens by Wretchmond in that draft when they had five picks inside 19 and only got Deledio correct.The armchair list managers @ BF reckon Dean Polo - Richmond [24yo, 56 games, 187cm / 83kg, Mid/ Fwd/HBF] for a late pick is on the cards...any takers?Comment

Yes. What you say makes perfect sense. Please understand some of us enjoy the "mindless speculation". It brightens up our boring days while we wait for Rnd 1 2011. and you never know maybe Billy does know something.I can tell you for a fact that all remaining senior listed players are up for trade for the right deal.

Andrew Krakouer. Yes please.
In the WAFL Grand Final today he had 43 disposals, 11 marks and 4 goals including the match winner with about 30 seconds to go to put his side 1 point up.
This year he has won the Sandover medal (WAFL MVP) and the Simpson medal for BOG in the GF. He will probably go to the weagles though.Comment

If u don't believe me, I will knock your bloody teeth out and not pay you a cent.Comment

He always had lots of ability just wasn't focused when he was at Wretchmond. A year in the slammer and realising the opportunity is slipping by has brought him to the level he hould have been at 5 years ago. Well done to him for turning his life around and I reckon he would flourish in our environment so why not? Be very interesting to see how high up in the draft he is taken, could even be in the 20s for a game breaker like him.Andrew Krakouer. Yes please.

If he fancies life on the Gold Coast (and wants to play with who I presume is a cousin) he can get there without nominating for the draft I believe. GC can take around 5 players not currently on lists but who have previously been on an AFL list. Happens as a kind of pre-preseson selection. Only provisio is, not sure if those players first have to nominate for the ND, which would enable someone else to get their hands on him. My guess (and it is a guess) is that they don't.He always had lots of ability just wasn't focused when he was at Wretchmond.

I'd take TDL over Schneidz, tbh. Yeah he's been a good get for the Saints but he was offering us nothing.
Dempster is whatever.Comment
