Trade Winds

Hooker for Cyril done deal

[sconsey]

I've been keeping an eye on the AFL tradeweek twitter. Today there is some noise about Essendon chasing a big name contracted player with plenty of cash.

I'm hearing it's Pendlebury, and I am hearing it from more than one source. Don't like our chances though.

I heard the same thing. Source is a mate who heard it from a dude he knows who saw it on a forum, so more of a trade zephyr. Deal alegedly Licha, Houi and a draft pick.

That was just some bullshit made up on bomberblitz, to see if the media would go for it! Looks lke its worked

Hooker for Cyril done deal

Hooker plus pick 8 plus any other f****** thing they want!

Could have got him for free a few years ago!

apparantly Hooker may be thrown up for trade....

dunno about that one, sure we have Pears and Hurley but Hooker would be great as a 3rd or allowing Hurley to go forward.... i guess we'll find out reasons why if it happens

This would not worry me unduly. Hooker has too many "Slattery" moments and I cannot see any amount of training to overcome the fact that the guy is a bit clumsy. Tries his guts out but sometimes that is just not enough.

I die a bit inside everytime I seem him in yellow and brown. Why couldn't we have held onto Sheedy for 1 more year? There is no way he would have passed him up!

No we couldn't have, he would've cost us pick 6 in the ND. We could've had him for less than he would now cost us, but we couldn't have had him free.

what the media being fooled is twitter? you do understand how twitter works right? there is two way communication between punters and the media.

AFAIK No media outlet has reported Pendlebury is likely to move or is even considered for a trade.

twitter is great for gossip, and if you are look carefully at the source you may get some 'truths'...but 99% of it is bullshit.

its for twits

If you want to get technical, then yeh, he would've cost pick 6 in the draft...but i really didnt think anyone was going to get technical, so didn't mention it

very un-reliable source says Sam Mitchell wants out of the Hawks and the Bombers is he preferred choice..... if true then f*** OATH!

disgruntled about losing the captaincy? id believe that

Would that unreliable source be Big Footy Forums???

Ryan Gamble from the Cats linked to the Blues

Haha...what a pisser! I can just see it - Ryan Gamble and Eddie Betts working well in tandem. Fevola would be wishing he was still there!

[Windy_Hill]

Damn, the thing I hate about the Hird regime is no more juicy leaks from inside the club.

The silence is deafening

[Mrs Mercuri]

Sam Sheldon possibly to StK

Gavin Urquhart to the Lions

very un-reliable source

in other words a total lie made up by someone on the interweb?

only fringe players are going to get traded. and thats the usual nearly every trade week.

if a very good player from any side in the AFL was considering a move, it would be 1 back page news in all the rags and 2 there would be a conga line up clubs lining up for his services. just like it was for Judd when he moved.

the only other exception I can think of is Fevola recently...and he was damaged goods.

I think Hooker will be good, but with Pears and Hurley (and Ryder?) I think we can afford to trade Hooker and if that helps our midfield: do it.

I agree but i doubt it will happen this year. Hooker is contracted for 2011 but no doubt if some of the other talls on our list get up and going next season (Darcy Daniher in particular) then Hooker could have some real trade value at the end of next year.

GWS perhaps???
