List Mgmt. Which free agent should we be targeting?

[35Daicos]

We will but we have to give up a fair bit for Cameron

Anzacday was making a joke there, Dave. Pretty darn good one, too!

Yes He Was and Was good one too

Is there anyone other than Danger on the FA list?

 

[mike123]

This is where the free agency list is, some have already been signed

I would love Luke Hodge

Danger if any, but I think the timing has to be right for a big-name FA signing. Our last big name signings came at the end of 2009 in Jolly and Ball (admittedly not FA though). Our list was thereabouts and needed to plug a hole or two to make it to the big dance. I'll be pleasantly surprised if we finish outside the 8 this year and still manage to sign Danger. The danger is though, considering that you're almost always going to overpay a FA, is that if you get it wrong you're left with restricted cap space and be stuck in a rut as that top 4-6 team while missing something that could make you a top 2 team (the jump that we made from 2009 to 2010). There'll be more FA's available at the end of 2016 and 2017 also so it may be the ballsier, and wiser, move to hold off on Danger if the price isn't right.

 

[jmac70]

Can we target all three?

 

[ottoman]

And I reckon we'd be trying to offer less

Better. Your slowly getting the hang of this joke caper

 

[KJpie]

Pies, Hawks and Cats are the teams putting in a fair bit of effort into getting danger already apparently.

They must have good accountants mate or their premiership stars would need to be playing for massive unders.

A lot of good points dog.

For mine we will be more the wiser as to where we sit in the premiership hunt at years end and this will allow both Danger, Hine and Co to make a more informed decision as to where the clubs at and whether we make a full scale assault for his services.

Obviously in the mean time we need to show genuine interest in the hope that the list develops faster and performs better in 2015 than I for one expect.

Dangerfield and Pendlebury at the same centre bounce would be jizzworthy.

Too late.

Forget Dangerfield, his granddaddy has already said that he will land at Geelong, and he'll start to get lazy and fat. We need the new "revolution".

None. Use 1st + 2nd picks to trade up to grab Weid.

IF I was a betting man I would have him going to the Cats

I guess the instructive question we don't know the answer to is, how much free salary cap do we have? That kind of defines what market we are in, penthouses in Toorak or a renovators delight in Berwick.

Forget Hawkins - No Surprise

Dangerfield, every single time. Wouldn't mind at all if Hawkins came to us but that is just not going to happen. Danger is on the move and we must be in the market.

We need to land a big fish, we keep throwing out the bait and getting nibbles but just haven't reeled in a big one.

How delicious would it be if we are able to get Dangerfield and James Aish waves goodbye to the Lions in favour of the crows. That is the sweetest of dreams.

I think we would have more Chance of Getting Aish then Danager

Aish would need to be traded. There is 0 chance that the Lions are going to trade him to us. I don't want him anyway, we have young kids developing we need another ready made midfielder.
