Broughton on the trade table

chaosAD · October 15, 2012, 01:29:03 AM

Finally we aren't the only ones who hate Greg, Ross Lyon has said he is available to be traded, great news

We don't hate Greg, we hate Ross.

I still don't believe this, have searched google and can't find anything and the only places I have seen it are here and an AFL trade rumour fb page.

Surely he wont leave home??

The other thing is teams aren't going to be chasing after him with their first rounders and freo would be stupid to take a second rounder for him. Deal would have to involve a player, Gumbleton is the only player off the top of my head who I can see heading west...

Before he was injured late in the year I thought Broughton's attitude on the ground as to how he was being utilized by Lyon showed he was not a happy chappy. To me, he looked disinterested and dispirited. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him go.

Please dont "chinese whisper" out loud. Ross Lyon has not said that Broughton is available to trade. For starters its a decision by Chris Bond (which Ross will have input in), secondly this has been started from a Twitter account that is not Chris, Ross or the Freo Football club.

I have seen a bunch of hypertheticals and the best one I have seen is:

GWS give pick #3 and receive Broughton and pick #16

Probably a good scenario everyone wins.

As much as it hurts me to say this but if this was the offer then Freo should jump at the chance to take it. I could then see Freo using pick #3 on Stringer. That would be a WIN for Freo IMO

Even if he leaves Freo I'll stay well away from him. Don't think he'll ever be an put and out midfielder and due to his size will keep getting those showerty little lockdown roles either forward or back.

I tried to respond to this at uni, but my net was showerhouse :/

Basically, I personally think that's a reasonable trade... that being said, I don't think we'll do it- we traded too hard for those first 3 picks, I think our recruiters know specifically who they want.

What about 13 for broughton, straight swap?

I dont mind that either - Would almost guarentee us getting Mason Shaw. Roberton for 13 and I would wet myself.
