AFL Trade Radio

You betchya

If the club (and only they will know) doesn’t believe that Francis can ever get himself up to an elite AFL fitness level, which requires for those without a natural high aerobic capacity a super strong mental application & resolve then you’d back their decision to trade him whilst still has currency.

Many don’t actually make it at AFL level for a multitude of reasons but are still very talented footballers. Many don’t make it in all forms of elite sports despite potential. It’s just one part of it.

If he stays I hope he can realize his potential which is immense. If he goes with the club agreeing to it & gaining something of worth in return so be it.

Definitely will be a shame if he gets past his troubles with family loss and becomes a star elsewhere. But if it’s out Francis & in Stringer via crows 16/18? I don’t think many will be too upset.

been busy at work, sounds like nothings hapenned trade radio all morning.

Hope Motlop compo is only second round pick.

They are saying no clubs are currently there so nothing will happen yet. They believe something is happening this arvo though and it involves Motlop.

Minus the fact that a compo for a FA is rediculous, wouldn’t the compo depend on the contract being offered to Motlop?

HURRY THE FK UP!!!

Freo and Dogs currently meeting to finalise a trade on Crozier.

Crozier done (pick 40 and 82 to Freo)

Cameron’s manager just said that Brisbane have offered pick 19 for Cameron.

If Motlop chooses them they will let him go. If not probably keep him in quest for flag in '18 IMO

Seems Motlop likes Port more though with Hinkley & family connection. Crows more $$$

Starting to come out that Motlop has nominated Adelaide

Pretty much all teams are withdrawing their interest in Shache (including us).
