2014: Retirements, Delistings and Trade Rumours

Argh! Great timing, right before finals 
Bomber ruckman Ryder headed for a storm
PATRICK Ryder's management is reportedly exploring a clause in his contract that could allow the ruckman to leave Essendon at the end of the season as a delisted free agent.
The key Bomber, who signed a four-year contract in 2012, could leave the club on the grounds it seriously breached its duty of care to him through the supplements scandal of 2011-12.
Essendon would receive no compensation under the new rule, which was pushed by the AFLPA and introduced as a result of the club's breaches.
The Age reported Ryder feared potential health risks as a result of the club's "pharmaceutically experimental environment".
The 26-year-old has been linked most prominently to the Brisbane Lions as well as Greater Western Sydney.
The Bombers, who face North Melbourne in an elimination final on Saturday night at the MCG, are under investigation by the Victorian WorkCover Authority for possible breaches of health and safety during the club's supplements program.

I wouldn't panic just yet re Ryder. From reading around the Bomber internet it seems likely that this has surfaced most likely as Ryder's fiancée may like to move out of the city of Melbourne. I doubt he would screw us over. The rest of the story in the media so far is just posturing.
It funny reading Wilson's article. As pointed out on Blitz have a look at the following words in her article:
could
could
While no player has yet challenged Essendon by invoking the clause, would be
possible
could should he attempt to successfully
reportedly potentially so-called "pharmaceutically experimental environment". His partner, has a Queensland background.
Fairfax Media understands
Connors, who did not return calls on Wednesday, is understood
It is understood
Suggestions were denied
Brisbane has not yet made a offer,
It has not been established
The general view is
would normally
would
The AFLPA believes
inquiries from player managers
former chief executive, Matt Finnis,
the principle is far broader and general in its application.
A whole lot of if pigs had wings they would fly type stuff.

But Philzsay, it's completely out of character for Caro to wildly speculate.. Particularly about anything Essendon-related.
I think "the best in the business" goes with the approach that if you fire enough bullets eventually you'll hit something.
also, and i don't know alot about him but
Young Giant asks for trade to Victorian club
GREATER Western Sydney defender Sam Frost looks set to depart the club after requesting a trade back to Victoria.
The 21-year-old is believed to have informed the Giants of his desire to seek a return to a club in his home state where his family lives.
Frost, the younger brother of Collingwood backman Jack, played 16 games for the Giants this season, for a career tally of 21 over three seasons.
The former rookie managed to hold down a key defensive post for much of the season in the absence of injured Giants Phil Davis, Nick Haynes and Tim Mohr, but can also be used in attack.
Frost, who is out of contract, was drafted from TAC Cup side Sandringham Dragons, with his athleticism and height important attributes.
The Giants are also considered likely to lose key position player Kristian Jaksch, who has attracted the interest of Victorian clubs.
And the No.2 draft pick in 2012, midfielder Jono O'Rourke, is likely to make a decision in the next few days about his future.
GWS declined to comment when contacted by AFL.com.au on Thursday.
The Giants hold pick three in the NAB AFL Draft ahead of next month's trade and free agency period, and have also activated a compensation draft selection at the end of the first round (approximately pick No.20)

I no. He was my cover for jkp round 22 when he did his hammy and scored like 10 lol. Very early in the kids career but pies keep saying there going youth so I guess it makes a little sence to get a no 2 draft pick in exchange for harry who is no superstar.
Could be a few young pies players on our sc benches next year who might have some handy js.
As always nab cup will reveal some insight
