Well Adelaide are holding Richmond over a barrell over Maric. Richmond are the gift that keeps on giving. Seaby can play and is only 26 and would make a huge difference, they will go for Maric and pay through the nose.
Anyway sounds like Armstrong is a three way deal hopefully nothing stupid.
Unlike RichmondYou don't ban those who supported your opponent, you make them wallow in their loserdom by covering your victory! You sit them in the front row. You give them a hat! Toby ZieglerComment

It's a hard one to line up who is in front on the deal. Seaby is probably more important to Port than Armstrong is to us, but given Seaby is pretty much surplus to needs imo (Myke is the clear #2 for mine), then it works out OK...Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

personally i think its a bit sad for us with Seabs....good player and can KICK A GOAL.....
not happy with this sub rule in what it has done for the 2nd ruckman.....But i guess for him to get other opportunities..just gotta feel for his family....Comment

Adelaide just seem like pricks to me this trade week, being cheap on every deal.
What has Armstrong done? He's worth no more than a 3rd rounder/average player in all honesty. I'm not saying he wont be a very good player for us eventually, but that's got nothing to do with the present.Comment

Even without the sub rule he'd be struggling to get a game - Pyke is clearly next in line. I hope a deal gets sorted for Seabs, as he's too good to be playing NEAFL.Comment

Apparently Armstrong finished the season really strongly, averaging 20 touches etc. Seaby, as good a ruckman as we know he is, is still a 27 year old who was 'moved on' at then end of 2009, has played only a handful of games in his past 2 seasons, and is about to be 'moved on' again. His currency is probably only slightly higher than Armstrongs. That he is a big man, and that they are harder to unearth, is probably the only reason he would be of higher value than Armstrong. I wouldnt be unhappy with a straight swap.Comment

I can't understand how other Clubs can manage two ruckmen and we can't. Seaby clearly held his own during Mummy's suspension.In memory of my little Staffy - Dicey, 17.06.2005 to 1.12.2011- I'll miss you mate.Comment

I may be wrong, but weren't we playing two (Mummy and Pyke) for a number of weeks until Pyke went down injured?Comment

Seaby is an outstanding ruckman and was hurt by injury and Mummy becoming an A-Grade and simply outstanding ruckman in his absence.
I'm surprised it took so long for Seaby's name to come up this week, I'm surprised Richmond hasn't gone after him also. Certainly us only really playing him this year when Mummy was out hurts us getting anything decent for him and I feel a sense of concern about Pyke and Currie (?) being our backups in case of injury or suspension (Mummy seems to be aiming for a sling tackle once a year!), I also think Seaby is a good forward option, but if we can get maybe Armstrong and a pick swap, probably not a bad result.
If we can't find a way to make two ruckman work, then he deserves his opportunity somewhere else. Pity though.Comment
