2016 Silly Season, Trades and Rumours and utter BS

[nuggety goodness]

Broadbent also looks likely to stay. Probably Lobbe is the one you will be able to move on. Im not sure we would be in the running for him. I think we would maybe look at Minson as a back up with Giles until Lycett and the eventual return of Nic Nat.

West Coast would be mad to pick up Lobbe. Might play every game next year, but then you'd be paying him a stonking amount to battle Lycett to be Naitanui's #2.

I think Lobbe is going to be another Hartlett. Paid too much, for too long for his ability and Port would need to take a big hit to overcome that.

West Coast are looking at minson not lobbe apparently.

Back to Lobbe - with the games that boyd and roughead played, would the dogs even want him? Maybe as backup, but as others have said, he would be on very good coin that the dogs might not want to pay

No way! Bevo plays with the mobile ruckmen. Boyd is developing into a ruck/fwd and him and roughead both have amazing contested marking ability and get around the ground pretty well... lobbe is slow and crap. He is similar to minson and so why would we get a replacement for him?

Then they should of let us beat them lol.
They don't deserve any PP's, were gifted 3 flags in a row, now they have a couple of bad years and they are crying.

At least they didn't get pick 1 as a result of a punishment for drug cheating.

Can't punish us twice.
Would happily give back pick 1 for the picks we had taken off us

So if Vickery goes to Hawthorn, who plays forward for Richmond? Griffiths? Not proven. Maric/Hampson? No chance. I can't see Richmond improving next year at all. In fact I can see them going backwards. Prestia isn't the answer for the Tiges but he does add midfield strength. I dunno exactly where their improvement is going to come from!

Since when is it hartletts initiative to be traded. Ports obviously told him theyd prefer him to move on and he best go pick a club, else theyll choose for him?

If port wanted him theyd be publicly stating he is untouchable

Can he be traded to a club without his own consent, such as in major league baseball

No, as he is contracted.

Rumour going around that Mitchell has signed on with the swans for another 3 years

Port have handled this hartlett thing absolutely terribly..embarrassing for the kid and the club

Heard this last night too with Tippett the one being off loaded

What ever it takes! Probably willing to take a pay cut because the Hawks premiership window is shut and ours is wide open

Not sure why Brisbane have been given a priority pick and even more puzzling is why they get #19?

Surely if the AFL want to give them (another) leg up then a priority pick should be after their first pick in the draft? So, #3.

I think they now have four picks in the top 30, watch them trade them for another sack of potatoes like Walker, Bell or Bastinac.

Also wonder if the club wasn't basically run by the AFL would they have got a priority pick?

Melbourne had far worse seasons than Brisbane and didn't get a PP

Leppa and Maric this week.

Titus O'Reily :

Richmond welcome Justin Leppitsch back in an assistant coaching role - "He's just been where we're going"

Insurance in case Hardwick gets sacked during the season?
