Mega merged trading thread

[Bas]

Is it a certainty that Sumner wants out? Considering his trade value, and his salary value, surely re-signing him on a minimum and giving him a little more time to recover from his grief wouldn't be a bad option as I rated him. Quick, good disposal, all those things we are missing.

He moved back to Adelaide in July. So I think that might give us some indication.

He will probably get delisted and picked up by Crows in draft or rookie draft.

It wouldn't be a great loss at all - although he's promising, so are a lot of players with 1 AFL game under his belt. Of course the 2 clubs should just do the swap Sumner<->Armstrong, otherwise both would probably just get picked up thru either draft by each club. Therefore I can't see either club sweating on doing a deal this week....

Sam Reid off to GWS

Sam Reid of the bulldogs. Not swans

[Bas]

Sam Reid has now gone to GWS. It's funny but he has a brother playing for Bendigo I think and his name is Ben.

His brother Ben was already playing for GWS this year. No doubt part of the reason why they selected him.

[Bas]

TWR has the Crows list manager - David Noble on and he hasn't said anything about Armstrong. Just mentioned that they traded away their first draft pick to GWS for a 17 yr old (Crouch).

Didn't mention any of the Crows other trades either. So nothing more to report there except that he hinted as he closed off he said he would probably be back in contact with them before end of trade week.

GWS have in the National Draft 12 of the first 14.

[rb4x]

GWS have 11 out the first 14 by my count. Port 6, Bris 8, and Melb 12.

Wow, we're getting a tad tetchy about GWS on here! I read Damien's post and took it entirely as "nice problem to have!".

Agree, nothing in Damien's post at all. I thought it was obvious they'd likely have trouble keeping all their stars (if they turn out to be stars) on their list in a few years time, but it certainly brought out the GWS white knights.

[Melbourne_Blood]

I also agree with above

[Primmy]

After surviving heart attack and denial scream, Sam Reid is the dog Sam Reid who is going to GWS.

Problem.
Two Sam Reids in Sydney.

Proposed name for our Sam, to distinguish and extinguish anguish, can we now call him Buckets Reid (the boys do)? Or something interesting?

[bedford]

They won't keep them all, they can trade to get a gun recruit now. We could say trade a Moore and Malceski and maybe get a top 10 draft pick.

[Bas]

but it certainly brought out the GWS white knights.

Did you miss reading these threads over the last few weeks? It's all been discussed before so you're not bringing up anything new.

Yes there are quite a few on here that are prepared to support the Swans and GWS at the same time. History now.

[robamiee]

They are reporting of a possible direct swap Seaby for Surgen (not sure if spelt correctly)

Thanks, I was saying it brought them out which it did.

Not sure what else you're talking about?

[Melbourne_Blood]

Yeah i was thinkin that too, it would be nice to trade into the first round of the draft, but i dont know if we have the players to offer to entice them to give up a 1st round pick. On the other hand, they do have that many, it would be the neighbourly thing to do to share .........
