Trade Whispers / Rumours and Confirmations

[Nico]

The Reid to Collingwood one was on last year. Just hopeful Pies supporters thinking that he will join his brothers. He is on a 5 year contract for a simple reason: the club thinks he is pretty bloody special.

Cats have just announced their delistings. I'd assume ours (if any) won't be far behind.

19 yo Irish player Daniel Flynn is going to participate in the AFL Combine next week.

Kennelly has a strong connection with him, even having coached him vs the AIS squad. You would think the he must have gotten Tadgh's advice to try his luck in the AFL. Given this connection and that we already have Tommy Walsh at the club, you would think that we would have an inside edge on this one.

Sounds like there might be some potential there!

Sounds like from this thread that people believe Mumford, Reid and White are on the trade table.

I would keep White above Reid and Mumford. Out of all our tall players White is the most physically durable and can cope with long AFL seasons!

Reid can't sprint without doing a soft tissue injury, which is concerning for a 22 year old and Mumfords four years at the Swans have included some time on the side lines.

Jesse finished the season looking the sharpest and most energetic Swans player and will give you the same next year through 20 plus games! I can't feel as confident of that with Reid and Mumford!

I am shocked by this!!

And the reason is that I agree with all you have said. But we should be prepared for an onslaught of criticism.

I just hope we aren't being seduced by White's form just prior to contact negotiations. He did the same thing last time and then settled into a routine of mediocrity. Go back 3 years and we were dating the same thing about him. I really hope his time is now though.

Reid is contracted for at least 3 more years. He is regarded as absolutely crucial to the Swans structure. Longmire has said so repeatedly and they were desperate to get him back prior to the finals.

His brother Ben Reid signed a two year deal at the end of last year which coincidentally takes him through to free agency when his contract expires next year. His mother made the comment a couple of years ago about how happy she was with the Swan's treatment of Sam and was less than complimentary about the Pies. I think you'll find that both Reid brothers will be in Sydney next year and with Goodes and O'Keefe likely then to call it a day we will have money galore to throw at Ben.

What's all this talk about Lamb wanting to go? There has not been a hint of unhappiness from Jed. Longmire went out of his way to mention him in his post PF presser, and I think Lamb knows that with Jude gone he will be in the frame for a full-time call up.

OK so the granny is 2 days away, the CC dinner is a week after that, they won't announce changes and delisting and trades until after that. So settle people, we have a way to go before we actually find out the facts of the matter (s).

Primmy Trade weeks start Monday 7th October, free agency starts 4th October. I reckon we'll have the delistings before then.
The whole trade period finishes on 25th Oct.

It's official. Channel 7 news just announced Jesse White has requested a trade and Collingwood are in discussions.

[swannymum]

Channel 7 just announced Jesse wants to go to Collingwood!

[Cardinal]

And Shaw is the likely candidate to come to Swans. The running game will be back baby, no passengers in this team Jesse!

Reid has one bad season with injuries and you've got him on the scrap heap and Jesse is the messiah and must be favourite for the Brownlow, Coleman, Norm Smith, MVP and cannonisation on the strength of half a good season.
Yer, right.

[Plugger46]

White over Reid and Mumford. I've heard it all now.
