Since when is Jude on the trade table???Jude has spilt more than Ted and still found himself on the trade table
There's still a week and a bit to the off season people.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
This is what I call
HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!
A couple of seasons ago, not now.

Quiet-ish. Down on his best. Compare to his 2006 AA season, and he had less goals, less marks, and less kicks. His 07 and 08 seasons, while still very good, weren't at the level he had played previously, and from the sounds of it he was asking for a pay packet based on 2006, and the Swans were asking for a trade based on that as well. Naturally, his slight regression in form may have caused some doubts in the minds of other sides (whether it would continue with age, or if he'd bounce back, or just plateau with 2006 being a flash in the pan). It was a complicating factor that put the two parties on different wavelengths and made trading difficult.
Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!
The way I heard it: Melbourne asked if we were interested in trading Jude. We said 'yeah, for Brock McLean'. Melbourne shut up. We didn't put Jude "on the trade table".
Ted stays.
I love Ted-but he's not irreplacable. I guess he has fans, and not without good reason (me included. He IS trade-worthy.
teams usually go for players in trade to fill a specific role. ted is a handy tall utility that has found most success down back. not the kind of player other clubs usually think is the one to make the difference between this season and the next. when we got him he was young, undertested and underrated and we got better than we gave. now, there won't be any hope he has something left to reveal.
Wrong.
