Trade Whispers / Rumours and Confirmations

[Cardinal]

Wonder if we'll swap our pick 1 and White for Shaw and Pies pick 2 ?

[Melbourne_Blood]

I think a straight swap is fair. White is a big man, they need a big man. To swap our 1st pick for their 2nd pick would be overs.

If White goes, then we will need our pick 1 for Darcy Gardiner, as Reid is likely to stay in the forward line. Personally, I think Collingwood still get the better of a White for Shaw trade on an even swap. I think a Cloke and White forward combo is just what Collingwood need to get them back in top 4. If it is true, they've scored a very good pickup. And if they can offload that bigmouth Shaw, all the better for them. I'd package Heath Shaw with Mummy and send them both to GWS if the deal were right.

Joking aside, I think a straight swap, should it happen, would be fair and good for both teams. If we get Heath, he would probably offer a good 1-2 punch out of the backline teamed up with Malceski for the next few years, freeing up Macca for his usual midfield role. Perhaps we will sign Mummy as well.

Shaw and Mummy would be worth a #1 pick. Shaw is an awesome player. His ungraceful gait belies his awesome talent.

[Auntie.Gerald]

well

if Rohan becomes our Goodes up front in the years to come

then Reid and Tip do their thing in thru the spine and we can keep Mummy and Pyke then we are ok

if we cant keep mummy and trade white I am @@@@ scared

IF TRUE re white and the pies.........I must say because of my personality flaw of always loving the ride of a player going from nothing to something I am sad to let Whitey go but such is life and this feeling too, will pass

I think Jesse has been ridden quite hard by both Longmire and Roos, and would rightly be looking at a new start.

I have great resect for Longmire, but rating Tommy Walsh ahead of White for two seasons is a joke. Tommy Walsh has never reached White level and has no potential to so.

Good luck Jesse. I don't hate Collingwood anymore, in fact I like them now!

It wouldn't be the best scenario, but don't fret, I think we can handle it. Pyke and Tippet can do the job. I'm sure we will pick up at least one additional ruckman in the draft as a backup in case Pyke goes down and Naismith isn't ready for the big time. And if that's not enough security, then there's always our miracle man: LRT.

If we had to lose White, I was hoping he would go to the Bulldogs. Anyone but Collingwood (or St Kilda. Or Hawthorn)

You are either overrating White or underrating Shaw or perhaps both

Spoke to Jim Wilson (who broke the news) on Twitter. He thinks its a three yr deal for Jesse, though its not done yet. He thinks trade will involve Shaw.

Perhaps. Maybe Jesse and our second round pick but I wouldn't be giving away our first round pick in that trade. would you Ugg?

Not sure if its just newspaper talk, but I read today that Armstrong and Walsh will be de-listed. I thought Walsh
looked OK before he got injured.

[BillyRayCypress]

I'm guessing that Armstrong may end up that way.

Walsh come over from St Kilda off their rookie list and with very little experience. So I would have thought that he was still learning the game and the serious injury has interrupted his progress for this year but will be a required player. The Swans did give up a bit for him in the trade.

Pie supporters are probably asking for White and Mummy for Shaw and 3rd round pick.

[wolftone57]

If we had enough money we could as an option get Heath Shaw and Darren Jolly for Shane Mumford and a late pick!

Would shore up the ruck division until Nasmith is ready!

So you would go for the decrepit, Jolly and the undisciplined, Shaw to bolster our playing stocks. I think this is Pharisaical. Jolly is far too old and has been here and is definitely not wanting to come back. Shaw is a problem onfield with team discipline and I can't see him changing.

Why don't we look to the draft and forget about these has-beens.

Wolfy, I've been looking in my Bible but I can't find the reference.
