Trade Radio just spoke to Ameet Bains, confirmed Membrey, O'Rourke and Jakshe were all targets. Sounded like Membrey would happen, still waiting to hear Jakshe and O'Rourke's choice of clubs....

Looks like it's happening... it is strange because he certainly couldn't have been part of our broader plans (or spreadsheets) even a few weeks ago, so seems impulsive?

Dont know if any trade is impulsive, then again McEvoy would have suprised Hawthorn last year and I suppose that trade would be impulsive.

I dont know if they would go for him if he didn't fit the plans. Maybe a few more delistings on the way.

The rationale for taking him from Bains or Pelchan will be interesting

Why not......Membrey could have been on our radar all year....but obviously subject to his decision to come back to Melbourne

I guess so. Sippos of all people would be worried.

I think we are still searching for a productive middle-size forward and Membry may be worth the risk. TDL and Milera didn't do the job and Siposs really hasn't made much of a statement when given the chance.

Neither has Gardener or Gamble. The search continues...

Saints @Ameet_Bains says they'll today look to field offers for pick 1, and hopefully do a deal for Membrey, O'Rourke and Jaksch

[Megamaguire]

Just heard Ameet Bains say on the KB show that St.K were well along the trail to securing T.M. from the swans. Also heard GWS were prepared to offer Malcheski a 3 year deal. If so wonder what Swans may try to prise off the western Syd outfit?

Malceski would be a FA surely?

The 3 year deal was mentioned by one of the reporter's on the KB show - personally i have no idea.

im pretty sure we wont be taking Petracca now
unless all these 3 ways full thru etc

No one suggested three ways or using the number 1 pick. I think they are all standalone issues that the club is working through.

Third-round pick for Membrey? Seems like a fair bit to give up. I'm a fan of getting maximum value out of top 50 picks.

After late 50's picks you can speculate a bit. Which is where I'd have though Membrey would fall.

Our fourth-round selection should be enough to get the deal done. Third rounder still has currency; you can still grab a very good slider at that point.

[SinCitySainter]

I think 3rd round for Membrey is fine.
He was never going to be a regular for the Swans with the forward line they have.
He could well be a starting player for us next year given our shortage of true forwards at the moment.

[St Chris]

What about a straight trade for Siposs??

Sippa seems to be a guy who needs to be forced out of his comfort zone, but has shown enough natural talent to suggest he could be something. I think Longmire and Dew could really see him as a project.

[magnifisaint]

We dont need more list cloggers

[FQF]

We dont need more list cloggers

He wouldn't be a list clogger. Would slot somewhere between 15-25 in our player rankings.

[Bunk_Moreland]

We dont need more list cloggers

So he woudn't get a game with the wooden spooner?

Who would be ahead of him for the mid forward role?

Membrey has asked to be traded to us via SEN

[Bunk_Moreland]

Membrey has asked to be traded to us via SEN

So we are doing a three way deal involving SEN?

[stkfc1]

Yeah we're getting Robbo and Andy Maher. Seems no one wants them either. news via SEN

[kosifantutti]

We get Finey and Membrey. We lose our third round pick and Bruce Eva.

[Con Gorozidis]

Sounds like this very close to a done deal.

For the record I think any deals involving Membrey, JOR and Jaksche are entirely and altogether separate to anything involving pick 1.
