If the rumours are true about ADCOCK wanting to return to Victoria then such a trade would work for both clubs. ARMITAGE is a QLD boy having had a fair amount of involvement with the LIONS, hence I think they would be very interested. ARMITAGE was a first round selection which would be the asking price for ADCOCK you would think.

Such a trade may also path the way for a further trade involving WOODS?
Adcock and Wood, is that a firm rumour?
lol while we are at why don't we go after Cox, Goldsack and Dick and coax Heady over for specialist coaching for that group.

I think you will find

Can be traded

Cannot be de-listed

!!
i'm happy to be corrected if i'm wrong...pretty sure it changed though mate, recall plugger 66 commenting on it recently
from what we have been told a drafted play in the second year can be trade or delisted but the club have to payout their contract
so it can happen but i doubt we would want to be paying for a brissy player as well as a ex brissy player

Adcock is just about to re-sign with the Lions.

And there is no way they would trade him for Armitage. Adcock is one of the best young midfielders in the game atm. An absolute gun.

Thought the same. Still would not trade Armitage or Howard. Give them some time to settle in. Howard had barely played a game earlier this year, and he was being bagged. For Christs sake be patient, Howard, especially is an athelete of the elite class. Just needs to learn how to play AFL football at the elite level.

It aint going to happen but if for some reason it did why would people on here say the would keep Armo and not swap him. It would the greatest deal in AFL history. One 3 games who knows if he will make it, the other just about AA this year and improved every year.

It will not happen but it would be a great deal.

I'm pretty sure anyone can be traded as long as all 3 parties agree to it (the player and both clubs involved)
Yes.

Can't be delisted though.....or at least not without fully paying the player out.
correct...austin lucy or something similar was delisted after one season at Essendon last year - they had to pay out his contract however

Adcock agreed to a contract with Brisbane last week.


They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

Trade Armo????
Give the kid a break!!! GEEZ! :roll:
I met young Armo on Mackay AFL's Grand Final day this season. ( The best player in the Under 14's GF wins the "David Armitage Medal")

He's VERY happy at the Saints.
He said he's looking forward to the pre-season and admitted that he needs to get a hell of alot fitter.
He's genuinely excited and enthusiastic about the Saints' chances over the next few seasons; and he's hoping he can play a big part in our success.

Adcock will go to Collingwood.

Then he can play with Goldsack, Dick & Cox. I'm surprised they aren't making a play for Luke Ball.
