My Chumps

Where are these Smith rumours coming from? I haven't heard any of them. I did read that he hoped to play in the midfield more but that was it.

Mailman the 2nd

No real proof, but many reporters seem to believe club have a strong chance of convincing him to leave, now that Franklin is gone. They also believe that we're be entertaining offers in case a opportunity arises.

I don't really mind it. He's a good player sure, but leave it up to him on whether he wants to go

Hmmm, would much rather keep him. Who's going to play on the small forward if he leaves?

On an AFL.com.au article this morning, they were hinting at a Smith-Varcoe swap. Pure speculation, of course...

Geelong just found Guthrie to play on the small forward,  :o

Talk of Jesse White and Tony Armstrong being traded to the Pies for their second rounder.

Both? I was hearing just White for the second round (which would probably be third by the time of the actual draft). Maybe White and Armstrong for second and third?

Second and third? Armstrong doesn't even get games. I think you're asking for a bit much, this isn't XVs trading.  :P

2nd and 3rd might be a bit much, although just 2nd wouldn't cut it at all. Remember thats basically going to turn into a 3rd and a 4th round pick, when Jesse is pretty much the best Key forward on the market...

the rumour was Smith to Dees and he would be in their leadership group. Hopefully he stays as i think he will replace macca as co-captain in future years

The Smith rumours have faded but the Everitt rumours are now going around. Which sucks as he played pretty well all year. Thought Armstrong would go before Everit, unless (like White) he is in demand
