Mega merged trading thread

[Bleed Red Blood]

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

Jacob Surjan.

What the. What do we need him for? I don't think he's even been getting a regular game at Port. Scuse a sec while I look up his stats. Yep, 8 games this year. Great... We give them a first ruck, and we get some sort of on-baller that we have an abundance of (I.e not exactly quick, not extraordinary disposal) Only gets ten touches a game. Maybe he's been playing as a tagger? Well we already have Jack, Bird, Smith, Shaw, doing those sorts of 'roles'.

i thought he was on the outer at Port due to ongoing issues with Motlop??

Bloody GWS have already caused us grief. They've split our supporter base into two factions, The pure bloods ( Swans supporters) and Half bloods ( Swans/GWS supporters). What next GWS!!! I guess the positive for the Half bloods is if GWS turns into a disaster and they merge with us, then they would be able to support both teams every week at half the price !

Am I the only one who has a problem with GWS dominating discussion OUR trade week thread?? Take it to another board people.

Anyway, if Port wants Seaby I'd prefer players instead of picks as compo. Clearly Seaby doesn't have much trade currency but maybe both clubs could put something together... Surjan wouldn't be so bad. Better than a pick in the 50s-60s in a shallow draft.

[DLBIA14]

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.

They're not that stupid. Anyway clearly they have a preference for picks which is somewhat surprising. I also don't really like the idea of trading Mal away. His current trade value is well below his capabilities as a player. Moore on the other deserves to go to another club and get his chance. GWS could surely use his experience and ball winning abilities. Hard player, good work ethic and very cheap.

if mumford gets injured next year, and god forbid he gets injured the whole year, who is going to replace us as our first ruckman? dont think its a good idea trading seaby to be honest

[robamiee]

i agree DL....
we talk about players coming that aren't getting games, yet look at McGlynn, ZKennedy etc now...

Difference is they came from Hawthorn.....not Port.....that's a big difference.

Absolutely. That's why I'm so keen on Macaffer who is in the 20-25 group at Collingwood. Still, PA or not a very late pick in this draft is essentially nothing. I'd rather a something would hasn't yet put it all together or who has fallen a little out of favour.

Edit: or even a couple of draft pick upgrades...

The only grief is from you people that just don't get that a Sydney supporter can go to a GWS game without it affecting the passion for the Swans.

The fact that someone would question my commitment to the Swans because I want to see more footy and see AFL thrive in Sydney is laughable and quite frankly I'm sick of the whole GWS debate on here. (half bloods indeed... How offensive is that. sigh!!! )

Talked about Currie briefly on Trade Week Radio - insinuated that it is all dependent on Seaby ... He goes and Currie stays or Seaby stays and Currie goes ... Seaby has more trade currency so you would think he would go and Currie gets another year?! Still no progress from Port today though ...

+1 - I can't wait for more football in Sydney next year! Doesn't mean I will be any less fanatical about the Swans ...

I agree, I dont get the seaby trade. If mummy goes down injured we are in trouble. Pyke as a first ruck option does not appeal to me at all, nor does LRT and white needs to develop more as a forward. So who's left? Currie?

So you want the poor bugger to languish in the NEAFL just in case Mummy gets injured.

He deserves to the no.1 at a club. He's obviously asked for a trade and good on the club for exploring that option.

Pyke is improving all the time and Currie had an outstanding year in the NEAFL so it's not as though we are out of options if Mummy goes down.
