Off Season Trade Rumours

[nrich102]

Carlton could look at the great man himself :o Sam Michael!!

Rumours Carlton may be interested in McKernan.

Lions are making a play for Dayne Beams.

Lumumba's as good as gone from the Pies, Dees leading the race.

Would like to see Beams come up here, but it could possibly spell the end for Claye, Crisp and other fringe midfielders at the lions

I wouldn't give a flower about those boys if it means you got Beams ;)

true dat

[JBs-Hawks]

Doubt it would spell the end for claye seeing he would be the main reason you get dayne

[Ringo]

Do not think Brisbane will make a play for Dayne Beams this year. Next year for sure - Would allow the likes of Aish, Robbo, mayes to gel more together with Rich and Redden who had injury interruptions and imo Window does not open until 2016 when Beams would be a welcome addition.

Rumour, that Mitch Clark will be returning next year (not to Melbourne though), Clark to the Pies?

[Nige]

Jon Ralph has said Mitch Clark will return to football in 2015 but it will not be with the Demons.

According to Jon Ralph Clark feels a move to a successful club will be best for him, Clark's partner is doing a course in Melbourne so he will not be leaving Victoria.

He is on Melbourne's list until the 31st of October so Melbourne does have the right to trade him.

Won't comment until I hear something from Mitch himself

[elephants]

Liam Jones has rejected the contract offer that WB have put in front of him and wants to see what offers come his way during the trade period.

Out of contract players:

Gia (Retired)
Tom Williams (Retired)
Brett Goodes
Christian Howard
Easton Wood
Liam Jones
Jason Tutt
Daniel Pearce
Tom Young
Shaun Higgins - Restricted Free Agent
Lin Jong (R)
Mark Austin (R)
Jack Redpath (R)
Alex Greenwood (R)

Holy flower that's a lot of out of contract players. Easton Wood head and shoulders above those mentioned.

Poor form if he doesn't stay with Melbourne IMO.

I mean one of the main reasons he retired was that he was guilty about being paid so much yet hardly playing... could always just come back to Melbourne and pay them back via loyalty  :-X

[Mailman the 2nd]

Melbourne could well be one of the reasons why he wanted to quit in the first place.

Not referring to the club performing badly, but it could've been factors like location,schedule, all his injuries etc.

If he needs a fresh start then that's what he should go for, he certainly won't be paid as much though

have to agree with Q. How can he come to Victoria and not play for the dees after feely guilty about not playing

Yeah I agree, though as mentioned there could be stuff going on there that triggered/deteriorated his condition, maybe best for him to go somewhere else. He is a real talent, Melbourne fans would feel disappointed if he ended up playing well for another club.

that is a long list puss.

I think the majority of this list will go

Gia (Retired)
Tom Williams (Retired)
Brett Goodes
Christian Howard
Easton Wood - trade
Liam Jones - re-sign!
Jason Tutt
Daniel Pearce
Tom Young
Shaun Higgins - gone
Lin Jong (R) - upgrade
Mark Austin (R)
Jack Redpath (R)
Alex Greenwood (R)

That's how it should be. A quarter of the list can be turned over and it's not going to hurt at all due to having great drafts recently.
I like Wood but he'll probably have to be let go. GWS wanted him when they poached Ward and have been hot on him ever since. Might have to lose him to bring Jaksch to the club and that's why he hasn't been re-signed yet.

Jones will probably walk, and it's a silly move to let him do so since he has more talent than Cordy and Campbell combined. Redpath being played ahead of him this season was an absolute disgrace so I can see why L-Jizz is exploring his options.

Not a Tommy Campbell fan!? Trading Wood definitely makes sense, Jaksch would be a good get for the Doggies.

[kilbluff1985]

will Frost get picked up? Saints might be interested

Just made a post on Mitch Clark in the Melbourne discussion thread
