Post Season 2003 - TRADE TALK

[Cam]

Burns... NO WAY

[Pa Marmo]

I think all is well, Burns is more magpie than burns

[Matty]

Burns will not be going... don't be silly. We're not that stupid. Maybe we'll trade Buckley back as well, and send Tarkyn back to WA. Anth could head off and play with Sav and Tarrant could go back to sucking on bongs. It aint gunna happen. He's a core player.

Hey Joel

Is he based in the forward line or in the back line usually...I think I am getting him confused with Dion Woods.

Dont know if he would suit our style? We need more bullocking players...ie Dean Solomon.

[Northern Pie]

I would rather give up Holland and O'Bree (actually I rather wouldn't) but Burns has to stay....Scotland is obvously not in MM grand scheme of things and rupe either...would be physically sick if I saw them in Port Colours, but they would be suitable trades, especially Scotland...I think he is an absolute gun of a player but is not getting his chances at the Pies...he would be very valuable in trade week..

Cheers

[Melsa5]

Unless he plays something like Molly...bullocking....I dont think we should go him personally

[Sultan of spin]

If Koops was struggling to get a game at Freo then he would struggle even more to get a game with us.

[Joel]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Koops isn't a big player is he?

E. David King Mark McGough Andrew Williams

Leon Davis, Cameron Cloke, Brodie Holland, Ben Kinnear, Matthew Lokan, Steven McKee, Luke Mullins, Luke Shackleton, Rhyce Shaw, Tristen Walker
Brayden Shaw, Heath Shaw missing out.

Thats a big call with Holland missing out. How about Dean Solomon for Richard Cole.

Heath Scotland is a class act. Wins plenty of the football and uses it better than most in the team. At 23 he is only a baby and will develop into a midfield general, if givin time on the ground.
Collingwood would be mad to trade him.

Scotty Burns on the otherhand is hitting 30, has a history of soft tissue injuries and cannot get any better. He is super player but lets get real here. If we want the best to come to our club, then we need to let something pretty good go. Trade him now ( it sounds ruthless ) while he still has some real value in the market place.

[Melsa5]

Now we are on the Carlton track...totally out of control

R U People Serious!

Burnsy wins games for us.
Burnsy keeps us in games.

Get rid of Burnsy you get rid of the heart of Collingwood

COME ON PEOPLE GET REAL!

[Wagga Pie]

wish you people would stop talking about keeping Scotland, we know he has talent and ability and so does collingwood but he has value in the trade, and fact is he won't get much games next year with the current midfield and king, shaq, cloke all coming in. he will be in willy town so why keep him? he knows this and thats why he asked to be traded.

so quit saying to keep him

Burns on the other hand, this could go either way we trade him, he doesn't get any better and retires in the next couple years or we trade him and he becomes one of the AFL's best and finally gets credit..but with another club. Burns is a great clubman, he is a great footballer and a great guy, i wouldn't trade him for anyone but thats just me.
