Mega merged trading thread

HIs disposals let him down big time Auntie.....as far as Peake goes.....

[Auntie.Gerald]

fair point rob........same at freeo also........i just wondered given Kennelly going and also Mal struggling still to play off the back flanks he maybe a speedy player to zip out of the backs ?

[bedford]

It is all a thought to improve our list

[robamiee]

i think thats where maybe the rumour of Surjen comes into play or there want to grab Armstrong (though not quick)
i dont know why Mal on the outer, he is a great leftie.....with a penetrating kick

Snide remarks like that only work if you haven't completely missed the point, which you have.

You quoted me telling me exactly what everyone knows already, hence my reply. Get it yet?

Terry Wallace said earlier today on TWR that the Swans are probably the most skilled player at Trade week. They never do anything without a specific purpose and always carefully target the players they want.

I'd say that this trade week would not be any different. I can't imagine there would be any trades with the Saints with the players on offer or anything last minute.

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.

Just a reminder of your original post that made absolutely no sense in response to mine. Thanks.

You can only have so much faith in a 27 yr old guy that's had 3 knee reco's unfortunately.

It was a good post wasn't it. Thanks for reminding me.

Continuing the theme...Given the Swans are trade specials....
Surely we wont let LJ go for Armstrong, as is being hinted in the media.
LJ has tremendous upside as a second or third forward.
Not sure about Armstrong, he looks like a handy HB flanker, good skills, light build, average speed.
Meredith would be a more appropriate swap.

No chance of Swans players to GWS in this trade period.

Silvagni on TWR now (10am) has said that once they secure Power and a few other retirees (that have been mentioned - Cornes and Brogan) by Sunday, that is it for them for Trade week.

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.

No I dont blame him for wanting to move on, the sub rule has stuffed his chances up thats for sure. IMO though we are in trouble if mummy goes down. It is ok to say Currie had an outstanding year in some reserves grade competition, but can he make it at AFL level??? He has been on the list for a number of years now and hasnt made it. Yes Pyke is improving but to rely on him being the number 1 ruck option?? Lets hope we dont have to find out and mummy stays fit.

AFL REcord 2011 Bible doesn't say much about Armstrong apart from that he impressed with his disposal and composure under pressurre. Had a game high 20 kicks against North in Rd 8 2010. Highly skilled half-back/midfielder to miss first 4 games in 2011 as a result of a Club sanction. Taken in 2007 Draft, fourth round selection No 58 overall.

So I would have thought that LJ was first of better draft quality (2008 Draft - Pick 12) and had done more on the field for a direct swap.

[Bas]

TWR and Wallace is saying that a 3rd round selection for Seaby (Port pick 47) is about right. He thinks Swans are after Port pick 29 and that is what is holding the trade up.

[ugg]

Port have picks 33 and 51.

[Bas]

Port have picks 33 and 51.

Ugg I was just quoting Wallace but same situation applies. Can't believe anything they tell us in the media today !
