2013 - Player retirements/delistings/trade discussion

[woodublieve12]

Jed Lamb has apparently quit Sydney and is GWS bound.

Tippett and Franklin won't beat too many teams on their own.
Mumford, White, Lamb, Everitt and Armstrong all gone or going, Kennedy and Hanneberry out next year, can the last one to leave turn out the lights
Must be a great culture up there, 5 blokes cant get out of there quick enough and 2 selfish mercenaries coming in.
Not sure what the new ass coach can teach Tippett and Franklin, certainly not how to kick or make good decisions

c'mon mate, you're not even trying anymore... that's even an average attempt in your standards

Luke Delaney has been traded from North Melbourne to St Kilda.

Luke Delaney has been traded from North Melbourne to St Kilda.

Forever known for having 13 goals kicked on him by Buddy last year

[Rik E Boy]

Chapman officially signs a 2 year deal at Essendon

Dislike! It's going to be very hard to watch Chappy running around in that shit jumper.

I'm sure Melbourne supporters feel the same way about Rivers. ;-)

Doubt it. We are Geelong.

Shaun Edwards and Kurt Aylett have been traded from GWS to Essendon for pick 48

[woodublieve12]

Tony Armstrong has got himself into a bit of strife... He knocked back a move to collingwood and now the swans are bout to delist him...
spud

Shaun Edwards and Kurt Aylett have been traded from GWS to Essendon for pick 48

Aren't the Crows going after Edwards?

On the radio they said McLeod told Noble to get Edwards this morning.

Yes that was true but Essendon have cut the Crows lunch. The deal is official

Apparently the crows were offered Edwards and Aylett and declined as they were only after Edwards. Essendon swooped and picked them both up.

[Jim05]

This from the Crows:
Adelaide Crows @Adelaide_FC
Unfortunately we couldn't get Shaun Edwards. We wanted a deal for Shaun on his own but couldn't reach an agreement with GWS to this effect

[HH3]

Jeez lucky they picked up J-Pod and Betts, coz they arent getting the young fellas they're after.

[woodublieve12]

Another stellar year during trade period by the crows

[Booney]

Jeez lucky they picked up J-Pod and Betts, coz they arent getting the young fellas they're after.

Good, isn't it?

[Brodlach]

Means the Crows would have had to delisted another player to accomodate Aylett but they dont have enough uncontracted players to delist.

Reckon Aylett is a dud anyway

[Jim05]

But, what about the Exodus at Essendon?
No player was supposed to want to join us

Probably is a dud Brodlach- would he be worth recruiting though given you will inherit a player who could fill a gap at the expense of someone like a tambling?

[Brodlach]

Think they need to delist 3 players still and the only uncontracted players ATM are Callianan, Joyce and Tambling so all three will more than likely go

May well turn out to be a dud but GWS must of initially seen something in him to offer him a 4 year deal. Was in top 5% at his draft camp, serious knee injury saw him miss over a year so its a risk no doubt but we really wanted Edwards so we had to take both.

So 2 blokes that were going to be delisted have joined your club, pretty sure they wernt in a position to be picky.
They also know they are assured of AFL games when the suspensions are handed down
