Off Season Trade Rumours

[nrich102]

Lions have a plethora of developing key forwards ATM :-X

You just hit the nail right on the head mate.. The importance of the word, 'developing' meaning they aren't ready yet, and for Brisbane if they were to make a second trade after Beams it shouldn't be after another small but a developed power forward who could slot straight in.

Maybe I could've been better in my wording, but that's what I was getting at ^^

Watch Close, McStay and Jono Brown Freeman dominate next year ;)

Yeah, maybe they are still developing, butthe game time should help them develop.

I would give up pick 6 for Cameron but not for Jaksch

Griffen at 28 is nowhere near worth 4+7 lol.

I'd take 4 and 7  9 times out of 10

Cameron spotted in Adelaide today, does that mean anything I wonder?

5.13pm: And the bombs keep dropping. Now the Sydney Swans have reportedly been told by the AFL they are unable to trade any players into the club this year or in 2015 unless they agree to bring an immediate end to the Cost of Living Allowance, according to the The Age.
The directive reportedly restricts the Swans from recruiting any free agents - restricted or unrestricted - until the end of 2017.
"We're not happy about it, we don't understand it and we'll continue to talk to them about it. We think we're being penalised for complying with AFL rules," Swans CEO Andrew Ireland said.
"The only way we've been able to recruit players in the past is by losing other players and creating enough salary cap space to bring players in, like every other club.
"We haven't broken any rules, we've complied with the AFL's rules and this is their rule. The only reason players have received COLA is because the AFL has said we have to pay it.
"It wasn't optional. We argued for it and we believed we should have kept it, but in the end they put the rule in place and we had to comply."

Lol, just when you thought it couldn't any crazier.
Swans banned from trading for the next two years. Can only bring in picks, not players.
