9. Sydney have traded Darren Jolly to Collingwood for Picks 14 and 46. UPDATE: This is said to be official but not showing up on the official trade board.  Its Now Official
10. Port have traded Mitch Farmer to Richmond for Jay Schulz. (It makes me sad that he wasn’t traded to Geelong so they had Schulz and Hogan in the same side)
11. Hawks have obtained Shaun Burgoyne, Port has received Jay Nash and Picks 9, 16 and 97, Essendon has received Mark WIlliams with Pick 24 and 33 and just for good measure, the Cats got involved and picked up picks 40, 42 and 56. (wow)

13. St Kidla have traded Xavier Clarke to Brisbane for pick 60

15. Fremantle have sent Marcus Drum to the Cats in exchange for pick 49
16. Brendan Fevola and pick 27 to Brisbane. Lachie Henderson and Pick 12 to Carlton. This is scarey! Fev, Bradshaw and Brown in the one side although there cap must be splitting!
17. Bit of trading of picks. Hawks get 58 from Bombers pick 89. Must be part of Williams deal. ( wonder if this sets up another deal with the hawks)

So Where will he end up? Will he stay with the Swans or will he end up in Melbourne and if so, with who?

SYDNEY are in negotiations with star forward Ryan O’Keefe’s in a bid to talk him out of considering a return home to Melbourne, which would prompt a fierce recruiting contest between several Victorian AFL clubs. O’Keefe, 27, is out of contract and keen to return home after nine seasons with the Swans, the Ten Network reported. The Swans have offered the half-forward a three year-deal, but he is yet to sign.

Ryan O’Keefe set to fly the nest | Herald Sun

On the same night, 5AA host, Graham Cornes put out the rumour that Collingwood forward, Alan Didak, has told the club that he wants out even though he has a new 2 year contract. Could this be the perfect interchange? RoK (as Ryan is known in fan circles) wants to come home and wants to come to a contender. Collingwood have an exciting young side that need help up forward and the leadership that RoK could add.

Didak has had an interesting last two years on and off the field. Was almost All Australian himself this year. Had big off-field incidents over the last two years and its fair to say that he is a marked man in the Melbourne media. Any slightly false move will be reported in the papers here in Melbourne, some what harshly. Even his President, Eddie McGuire, not knowing he was doing so said there was “a time in your life when you have to get rid of scaly mates, let me tell you.” (source)

So what if Didak escape the scrutiny of Melbourne for the anonymity of Sydney for AFL footballers? It has worked for other bad boys/reluctant stars like Hall, Lockett and Spider Everitt. Perhaps the change of scene could be exactly what Didak needs to put these hard years behind him and allow him to show off those silky skills of his that makes our mouths drop at times. For Collingwood, O’Keefe would be just what the doctor ordered. Great talent, great character and most of all, great leader. The pies have lost two captains in two years and also lost a guy that probably would have been captain if he didn’t retire last year. Chris Judd showed that it is possible to step into a new club and take on the key on field leadership position and thrive. Could Ryan be the guy for the Pies.

If it comes that O’Keefe moves and doesn’t get traded for Didak, then a high price game of chicken starts! If Ryan and his preferred club want a bargain for him, then they O’Keefe has to be willing to go to one of the Bottom 5 clubs if Sydney call their bluff.  O’Keefe has the right to veto any trade because and as he is out of contract can threaten to walk out on the club with the Swans getting nothing. So if he can handle playing for Melbourne, West Coast, Freo, Port or Essendon, he can push for his club of choice. If the Swans want anywhere near the best deal for them, they have to be willing to let him walk away for nothing. They have to put a line in the sand and say we won’t be pushed around. Hawthorn did this in the past with Jade Rawlings, forced him into the draft to the club that wanted him the most and was willing to trade for him and this set them up as hard traders. The following two years they got great deals for Nathan Thompson and Jonathan Hay that set them up for their 2008 flag.

So trade week is almost upon us and its going to be big. Stay tuned for all the news on trade week and the podcast will return soon.

Brett Ratten (Carlton Coach) on other radio stations put an Ultimatum to Fev. If you want to be with us, sign, if you don’t we will move on.

Ratten issued an ultimatum to Fevola that he should sign a contract extension or chase money elsewhere, but the star forward hit back on a rival station, denying he was “shopping myself around” and declaring there was “no way I’ll be leaving Carlton”.

Ratten lays it on the line for Fev | Herald Sun

From Fev’s comments, he will definitely be a Blue next year and the contract will get done. He also touches on other matters about his game.

• Results for Round 14 week 2
• Tribunal News
• Hall stooddown by the Swans
• Graham Polak recovering
• Retirements to Bell and Braun

Craig Hutchison

He then moved on to the news of the player in country footy that was jailed for 2 months for hitting a fellow player. The player, Trent Stanimirovitch, had priors. There was some talk of the old saying of “What happens on the Field stays on the field”. As I said around the time of the Hall/Staker punch, that is totally and complete nonsense and this is a positive out come for country footy!

He then brought up the Aker handstand including comments Aker made on SEN yesterday. He explained that it was done in tribute to his wifes grandfather. The clip is cut short and I would loved to hear the last part of the Aker comment. This is going to be a non-issue.

Last footy issue brought up was the claim that the Sydney Swans had launched a bid to get Brendon Fevola to Sydney for 3 million dollars over four years. Hutchy claimed that the Swans would be aggressive at the draft time in order to get him. Fev was on the panel (as you can see below) and wouldn’t comment on his contract situation. Sam got involved in his own funny style and put the heat on Fev in a funny manner. He did get out of him that he was going to Sydney with his Wife for a photo shoot. <NOTE: Swans today denied this report>

James Brayshaw made the comment that it wasn’t a crime to be talking to the Swans. My understanding is this is fact incorrect as I would have thought it was player tampering and that other sides weren’t allowed to talk to other teams players during the season. They claimed that he had talked to Sydney before he signed with his new management group.

Lastly Craig reported on Scott Lucas and Essendon coming to an agreement on his contract that was 1 year with an option for another 1 if very achievable conditions were meet.

The segment ended with perhaps the most entertaining part. (At around the 15min mark) Sam got up and started putting black shoe polish on his fore head that is much bigger then in the past due to the speedy recession of Hutchy’s hair line. Hutchy fired back by throwing a glass of water on Sam. Some have claimed they believed that Hutchy was crying, but you can make up your own mind as the video is below. What do you think of all the News and bickering?

Craig Hutchison talks breaking news

July 3, 2008: Craig Hutchison talks breaking news.

It happened in the 4th quarter at a vital moment when St Kilda had just hit the front. The ball was in the Saints Forward line when, from best information available at the moment, Luke Ball was involved and the player that jumped the gun was chasing Brent Harvey. The interchange steward acted immediately and the emergency umpire informed the main umpire of the infringement. Daniel Harris took the shot at goal after the virtual 150m penalty and kicked a goal to put North back in front.

At the time and during the call the commentators talked about how this was not right and unfair, but a rule is a rule. At the time of the Sydney incident, media commentators where at pains to point out how the rule that there should be no more then 18 men on the ground for any team was perhaps the most basic yet most important and they also pointed out that it needs to be enforced and the current rule was just unpractical in the current football environment. So the AFL changed it exactly as they should of to be a free and 50ms (the from the center was just extra stuff). Some have said after the fact, why isn’t it just a free kick? The reason I see is that it has to be a real punishment or else you have a guy ready to run on any time you want to hold up the play (it takes time for the Emergency Umpire to get from the boundry to the middle to pay a free). By having the 50m and the center, it means you virtually are giving up a goal to do this so it can’t be used as a tactic. Personally I thought they should have got a free from the goal line.

But perhaps the most suprising thing happened as I tuned in to watch “The Fifth Quarter” on Ten after the game. I was ready to yell at the TV about how stupid they were for saying the incident was wrong. To my suprise, Robert Walls went through the incident and came up with the conclusion that everything was done correctly and seemed to have no problem with it. So thumbs up to Wallsy. Normally I think you say some really silly things but tonight you used your brain and came up with the right answers! Keep it up!

Barry Hall suspended for seven weeks

April 15, 2008: Barry Hall has been suspended for seven weeks by the AFL tribunal.

Molly

Paul Roos and Barry Hall faced the media. Roos started off saying that the incident was unacceptable to the Footy Club. ‘Barry knows it’s unacceptable’ said Roos. Barry went on to add:

“I suppose it was a bit of frustration. It shouldn’t have happened.

“I certainly didn’t mean to hit him high.”

“I gotta prove to everyone again that I can control myself,” He also added that he will have to ‘cop’ whatever punishment the AFL tribunal hand out to him.

If you want to see the incident and let us know what you think the number of weeks he will get will be here.

Also, here is Channel 9’s report on the Press Conference (with on of the dumbest extra angles ever):

Barry Hall apologises

April 13, 2008: Barry Hall has apologised to West Coast Eagle Brent Staker for last night’s ugly punch, that is likely to lead to a long suspension.
