Trade Talk Day 3 – Mumford Gone
Geelong ruckman Shane Mumford is ready to sign at Sydney after declaring he is up for the move. It is just a matter of working out the appropriate draft pick with the Cats pressing for a third-rounder. Sydney have offered Mumford $1million over 3 years.
Geelong is interested in North Melbourne’s talented but injury-prone defender Jess Smith, who has been offered a one-year contract by the Kangaroos. Balme was seen leaving Arden St with Smiths XRAYs in hand. This deal looks almost certain to go through. Smith is seen as a replacement for Tom Harley.

The Cats have also shown some interest in Fremantle’s Marcus Drum. But nothing has been released about any negotiations yet.

Well if Sydney are offering close to a million for Mumford means they think very highly of him why would we settle for pick 36 when Sydney have 6,14 and 22. It seems we are becoming a bit of soft target when it comes to trades we dont end up with much of anything. And by the way I would have chosen Mumford over Blake any day just because he can do more around the ground that Blake doesn’t and probably never will.
