Sounds like the drums are beating ...

Quote:

ESSENDON appears poised to leave Geelong in turmoil, after pulling off a massive coup by poaching dual Cats premiership coach Mark Thompson back to Windy Hill. Thompson, a past Essendon captain, dual best-and-fairest winner and multiple premiership player, has agreed to work as James Hird's boss in what is an extraordinary boost for the flagging Bombers, which have lost their way since Kevin Sheedy was axed three years ago. The imminent announcement that Thompson will next year be the Bombers' director of coaching, above senior coach-in-waiting James Hird, is expected to rock the foundations of Skilled Stadium, where Thompson is contracted as the Cats' senior coach for another season. Geelong has long maintained an emphatic stance that Thompson would not be leaving this year.

Andrew Walker Trade Talk

Andrew Walker Trade Talk

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by Ben_7 on 27/09/10

afl.com.au
CARLTON’S Andrew Walker is being targeted by the Western Bulldogs, and has been given permission by the Blues to speak to the Dogs
The 24-year-old has already met with Adelaide and there is much speculation that he will go to either one of these clubs.

The scenario for the Dogs is complicated because they will be using their first two pics - in a draft already affected by the arrival of Gold Coast - on father-son picks Mitch Wallis and Thomas Liberatore.

However, they do have the use of their compensatory first-round pick that they received for Jarrod Harbrow's departure to the Suns.

The Blues have rejected a direct swap for out-of-favour Bulldog Andrejs Everitt, but it looks as though he will be traded out as he looks for a fresh start, along with Brennan Stack and Josh Hill, while the Dogs are apparently interested in Geelong's Nathan Djerrkura, who is chasing more senior opportunity.
