    Noticed on Twitter that Gaff is not 100% committed of going to North and may still end up at the Swans. Chad Wingard seems very keen to join Hawthorn and deal is almost done. I know not a reliable source.!

      Last player I want is Gaff.

      Looked like a fully broken man yesterday.

      Having him deal with the negativity from the punch is one thing, but to have him playing for us with that, alongside the net result from the incident (playing in a premiership team) is just asking for trouble.
      The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

        As for Merrett, just another rumour with absolutely no substance. Did you hear the one about Pendelbury wanting to move to ........
        Actually there is some substance to the Merrett trade, because talks have taken place. Will it amount to nothing? I cannot see the trade happening.

              Not listening, so can't tell whether this is speculation or informed: NAB AFL Trade Radio on Twitter: ".@cleary_mitch on Nic Newman & Ryan Clarke: "It could be a rare straight swap between @sydneyswans & @NMFCOfficial"

              #NABTradeRadio"
              .

              I'd be happy enough with it.

                I think Dylan Clarke would be very handy also to develop

                  Newman, who many on here don't rate for Clarke, who many on the North board don't rate, seems a fair swap.

                  Not much happening with us according to the latest blurb on AFL website. Looks like we're just relieving the cap pressure.

                    So we likely have 7 spots minimum to fill:

                    Paps and Ronke have become specials not from the major draft or trades and no doubt we will have a couple others in mind

                    Medicals at the Swans reported for the following so far :

                    1. Clarke
                    2. Vandenberg
                    3. Blakey (certainty)
                    4.
                    5.
                    6.
                    7.

                      We're going to be paying part of Hanners salary according to Nick DelSanto on SEN.

                          Stop it, we're just making future cap space!

                            If that is true .......why wouldn’t we trade samreid?

                              I’m with you AG. We have a significant amount of Tippo’s salary plus Hanners and Rohan’s money. That has to go on more than just paying who we’ve got.

                                Probably because Sam Reid doesn't want to be traded. Happy with us and thinks he'll get back on the field in 2019. Players are not chess pieces.
