Mcaffer and Mccarthy, what are they like as players ?

[Chilcott]

McCaffer - solidy built, but slowish, half forward type, much in the same mould as Richmonds Morton (but don't quote me on that).

Don't know much about McCarthy. Can't remember watching any of his games in the last few years.

Trade week radio (TWR) reporting that Port has "upt the ante" on getting either Renouf or Seaby now and that there has been a fair bit of discussion this morning. Wallace thought they should go for Renouf has has better all round value.

They think that the GWS 17 trade on Thursday is holding up a whole stack of deals taking place.

The GWS quashed deal could be back on as Silvagni was meant to appear on TWR but said something important has come up and would come on later today.

TWR reporting (Peter Linton - player manager) that there may be a 3 way trade with another Club regarding Armstrong. They originally wanted a draft pick but they realised that they might be players short.

Sydney was not keen to trade the players the Crows wanted so now it has gone to the 3 way. Linton didn't know who the third Club was.

I'm guessing might be linked around Seaby. However that is just a wild guess.

Toovey, is he the right fit for us ? Is he worth what he will be askking for money wise ? And do we have anything to trade for him ...

Very limited backman with average footskills who looks better as he is in a quality side. Given we don't need any defenders I doubt we'd bother.

McCaffer on the other hand is a pretty handy 3rd forward option who could be add something to our team if the price is right and he's over his injury issues

I don't think that's necessarily right. The fact that no one wanted them as a high pick wouldn't stop anyone taking them at 30 40 or wherever. All it means is that they weren't regarded as high picks.
It's confusing and i don't put gospel belief behind what I've said..just MHO.

No, nobody wanted them, period.

There was nothing stopping any club bidding for either of the boys. If somebody thought that Buckley was around a pick 40, they could easily have bid Pick 50 or 60, whatever pick they had around that mark. That would have forced Carlton to use their next pick. As it is now, Carlton just pick him after they have used whatever picks they want to pick other players.

Got it BBB ta.

Mark Seaby off to Port...

Mark Seaby off to Port...

For what in return?

[veramex]

Saints are reporting demptster hasn't signed yet due to salary cap constraints. Could we see Sean back at the swans?

He played really well for saints this year, just not sure we would need another player like him back in the team.

[Reggi]

Wouldn't touch any mediocre Pies. They are a very hard running side but mediocre skills. Leave Macaffer. Longmire has confirmed Port into Seaby

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I'm not greedy. Just give us Butcher and we'll call it even, 'ey Port?

[Melbourne_Blood]

Cant see us getting much for Seaby, as much as i think he is a good ruckman. Pick in the 30's perhaps ( assuming they have one around there ). Could then use that for Armstrong ?

[Bas]

Longmire has confirmed Port into Seaby

Can we line up after Seaby?

Any news on who?. Is that part of the three way deal they were talking about earlier?. I would have thought Seaby would have had more value than a straight swap for Armstrong.
