Hawks need to delist/trade Ellis, Young and Bailey, and get ourselves a big strong tough centre half back. Make it happen Hawks.

Do you think it's possible for Essendon to acquire Caddy if they do a three party trade with Port Adelaide and give them Monfries?

 

[Harsha_12]

I just read somewhere that Fremantle have made a play for Danyle Pearce.

Fremantle have lodged documentation to the AFL about recruiting Port Adelaide midfielder Danyle Pearce. Pearce is a restricted free agent and Port Adelaide have 72 hours to match the offer.

I just read somewhere that Fremantle have made a play for Danyle Pearce.

If Port cant match the offer he can walk, they have 72 hours to respond.

 

[BLOWN8]

Collingwood have officially lodged documentation for unrestricted free agent Quinten Lynch.

Adelaide's Chris Knights has made his move to Richmond.

Oh well. He was a good player at Adelaide until last season when he couldn't get that many matches. Hopefully he gets more game time at Richmond.

The scully loss has been a blessing in disguise for the dees.

More news:
Craig Hutchinson speaking on AFL Trade Week Radio says that Kurt Tippett is definitely on the way out of Adelaide. He says he is 100% confident that Tippett will tell the Crows either this afternoon or early tomorrow.

North Melbourne have decided to elevate Majak Daw to the senior list in 2013, meaning it only increases his chances of becoming the first Sudanese player to play in the AFL. Daw's form in the VFL this year was consistent according to coaches and deserves to earn a spot on the senior list next year.

 

[Shaunao1983]

I also was 100% sure Tippett would return to QLD.
Pretty sure he'll be playing for GC next year.

 

[TexWalkerFromNationalTiles]

I really don't want tippett to go but im certain that he's going to GC

 

[Shaunao1983]

Yeah mate he's gone, sorry to say but I'm positive he'll leave the crows for GC. That would make it two losses for you guys!

Compensation picks ruin the integrity of the draft IMO.....it will be even worse once we see teams getting picks for losing free agents.

I'm still filthy with our boys. Interesting article is today's herald sun about our boys kicking efficiency. At this point in time I'm over the hawks! Bad kicking is bad footy , the swans were the walking wounded on Saturday.
