Fridays completed Trades

[Mailman]

Out: Watt, Brown, Moran
In: Johnstone, Boyle Bradley

Watt for Boyle
Watts opportunities at North will be reduced next year with players coming through, as Boyles will be at the Hawks with Thorp etc on the rise. They need a good backman (And Watt is a good backman/sweeper), and we need another tall forward option to free Petrie up down back.

Brown for Johnstone
Melbourne want to clear out the bad culture. North want to clear out Brown. Melbourne need a player like Brown....hopefully. We need a running reciever type player like Johnstone. Im willing for us to take him on in this situation for sure.

Moran for Bradley
I will get flamed here....
If Moran really wants to go then I would prefer us to get another tall up and comer like Bradley than a lottery draft pick >30. Bradley has had huge expectations placed on him very early on at the Bombers and to me has been mishandled. Could be great in a Goodes type role I believe (Much the same role we had planned for Moran)

All straight swaps.....although I reckon the Johnstone trade may require a trade also. Depends if any other clubs are offering Melbourne anything

This is what I want to see happen...although I dont want Moran to go

There is no chance in hell Melbourne would take Brown for Johnstone.

Lol, Melbourne got hit with the shit stick with this trade. Why don't we just trade Brad Miller for Brent Harvey while we're at it.

I did - but unless you are talking a first rounder and Brown, it won't happen.
He is their best player and was last year when they made a semi final.

None of them will occur.

Only trades which drastically favour North will be considered sorry.....This is the thread to make me happy where all other threads around me make me sad......

They wont get a 1st rounder for him imo...somewhere between 20 and 30 i reckon.
