Possible Trades

[lovetotalkfooty]

Brock Mclean is going to Carlton in exchange for pick 11.
so that means Melbourne will have pick 1,2,11 and 18. four in the top 20.

I thought no trading could happen till the trade week started in october. So if another team wanted brock they could offer something to melbourne?

Also does this mean he has already signed a contract with the carlton football club?

A trade hasn't happened. Melbourne & Carlton by all reports have agreed to one when the window is open. If another club wants in they have to get Brock & Melbourne to agree, and if Brock has stated he wants to go to the Blues (similar to Judd, or Burgoyne to Hawthorn), there's not much any other club can do, especially if Melbourne & Carlton have both agreed to it....

He can sign once trade window is open, the trade has been approved, and his medical is all clear.....

Argh! this really ticks me off! Really frustrating being a melbourne supporter at the moment, too many times in the last 10 years we have developed players just to get rid of them to other clubs. Thompson, Jolly, Woewoedin, Johnson, Longmuir, Armstrong and now Mclean! Ok a few of these were moved on for reasons beyond control but as a supporter this infuriates me. What ever happened to the one club players? (may sound hypocritical but w/e)

Oh well at least if leaves the door open now for Jones to step into captaincy, which i like.

Why would you be trading to improve your strength? Surely some key defenders might be needed?

Carlton lack an extractor type of midfielder. Our defence is young and on the up.

Waite, Jamieson both injured this year, Austin injured in the later bit, Bower, Thornton and throw in O'hAilphan & Hartlett, and we're OK there.

Carlton will / should draft a KPP Forward though.....

Carlton did have one.......his name was Josh Kennedy, but you traded him for Judd.
I guess you really gave up more than what you thought.

Of course you would take Judd. One of the best players in the game.
I guess I like the fact that Carlton fans love to gloat about taking the Eagles best player. For some reason its a gloating point for Carlton fans, but when it comes down to it, you never really get anything for free do you?
What is the cost of trading Kennedy?
Either a dominat midfield or that Second forward which Carlton have long desiered to be able to take that next step to the top 4.

Essendon wants Shaun Burgoyne

MATTHEW Knights wants disgruntled Port Adelaide star Shaun Burgoyne at Essendon.

And the Bombers coach is hoping the club's strong ruck pairing of Patrick Ryder and David Hille will persuade the brilliant midfielder - who has walked out on the Power - to choose the Dons ahead of favourite Hawthorn and Melbourne.

Hours after losing champion full forward Matthew Lloyd to retirement, Knights revealed Burgoyne was Essendon's prime target in trade week.

"We're certainly interested in Shaun," Knights said last night.

"He is a high-quality player who can really add to our playing group. He's got a long career ahead of him and we've got a very young group, so he would be a quality addition."

Knights said that he had met with 2006 All-Australian Burgoyne in Melbourne late last week in an attempt to lure him to Windy Hill next year.

"Our people met with Shaun for about two hours," Knights said.

"We had positive discussions with him but we understand he's also dealing with Hawthorn and Melbourne and that they also could be very appealing to him."

Knights said Burgoyne had refused to lift the lid on any discontent with the Power, simply saying he was moving to Melbourne because he needed a change of environment and a new challenge.

<p/>Knights said Burgoyne had refused to lift the lid on any discontent with the Power, simply saying he was moving to Melbourne because he needed a change of environment and a new challenge.

But Knights said Burgoyne had stressed how premiership ruck pair Brendon Lade and Dean Brogan had "looked after him" at Port, raising Knights' hopes he might choose Essendon as his next destination.

Emerging star Ryder and 2008 club champion Hille, who missed most of the 2009 season after undergoing a knee reconstruction, are the best ruck combination of the clubs Burgoyne short-listed as teams he would be prepared to move to.

"Shaun was very strong in talking about how Lade and Brogan looked after him, how they were really good for him around the stoppages," Knights told radio FIVEaa.

Ben Williams told The Advertiser the prospect of playing alongside the high-leaping Ryder was appealing for Burgoyne, who also is understood to be keen on playing with fellow indigenous stars Lance Franklin and Cyril Rioli at Hawthorn.

The WESTERN BULLDOGS are firming as hot favourites to land Barry Hall.

Hall has been offered a two-year deal to cross to Whitten Oval and is believed to be on the brink of naming the Dogs as his preferred destination.

Although the Bulldogs have remained low-key publicly, club powerbrokers including chief executive Campbell Rose and president David Smorgon have met with former Sydney star Hall.

Hall last night told Channel Seven's Game Day program: "It (Bulldogs) would be a good place to be. It is a good club."

Win some lose some. Personally I would've loved JK to stay, but as of when he was traded, his time at Carlton was unremarkable, and he had showed glimpses of talent but nothing worth bragging over. I'm glad he's doing well at the Eagles, and hopefully the injuries that plagued his time at the Blues, and the start of his career at the WCE are over.

With Mclean going to Carlton do they try and lure a key forward by putting up say a Simpson, Russell, Walker or even Hadley for trade. They have had good years but they already have Judd, Murphy, Gibbs and McLean and plenty of other mid options if they want to get serious they need another go to forward and these guys will have some price im sure.

Walker has just re-signed for 2 years so he's off. JR & Simmo have another 1. Hadley could be the one, especially if rumoured Brisbane want him.

Whats David Hales situation has he signed on i heard he was on the cards to leavea while back. Hes had glimpses he may thrive in a new club like so many do.

Agree. Showed great potential up forward a few times this year. Can only improve barring injury.

Hale and McLean to the hawks*


*May not be headed to the hawks, just in keeping with every possible player being linked to us in some way/shape/form

Actually- Hale for Taylor?
