2016 Silly Season, Trades and Rumours and utter BS

[MatteeG]

HS reporting Tom Mitchell to nominate Hawthorn tomorrow and Richmond won't match the Hawks bid for Vickery.
O'Meara, Mitchell and Vickery all to be Hawks

I'd be more happy with Mitchell than the other 2, some risky business going on.

[Booney]

And it all kicks off today. Looking forward to more piss and wind before things happen in a rush next Thursday / Friday.

Will probably be a few trades today but yeah majority will be in the last day and a half.
Vickery to Hawks will be done today and sounds like Wells has been offered 3 years by Collingwood and could go through today

According to Kane Cornes there is a big name midfielder wanting to come to the Crows which has "forced" Don Pyke to board a plane to Melbourne this morning.

I wish, really rate him as a player but 0% chance of that happening

I'm just thinking why Pyke would be so eager to get there, is it someone they've not heard of before?

Would have to think so surely.

There is a picture going round of Tex and Gibbs having coffee yesterday, wonder if Gibbs did go to the Sloane wedding?

True, he is no Jimmy Toumpas...

You can't always be thinking about 5 years down the track. Sometimes you have to look at the next 12 months. Thompson isn't holding Lyons out of the team and if the likes of Ellis-Yolman, Harrison Wigg etc aren't able to get past Scott Thompson then I question what level they will ever get to. We aren't talking about a club with 4 or 5 guys whose retirement is imminent, just one. Cutting Thompson won't save much, if anything, from the salary cap if replaced by a draftee. Not to mention the spot he's taking on the list isn't the 23rd best player, it's the 41st best player.

Next 12 months hey.
Come support the Kangaroos bud.

Massive overs for someone of his age and with his record of injury woes if you ask me.

It makes sense when you realise we aren't paying the full cap amount and he fills a gap. Hopefully can avoid that achilles/broken foot shit that sidelined him for a couple of seasons.
