FOS or Jagga for mine at this stage as I feel that either would nicely complement the type of midfielders we already have on the list.

 

[THE A5]

Sorry guys been out of the loop and away from this thread. I’m wondering if there’s players out of contract in the mid 20’s bracket the club is linked to our ones we can go after? We desperately need decent senior players that aren’t old or are c graders

 

[ROO DOGG]

It would serve us well if he decided to see out his contract at Sydney before coming home.

No way Sydney let Warner go contracted. They would just do another Papley and make him see the contract out.

 

[ROO DOGG]

1. Warner has to want to leave Sydney first.

2. Warner might look at both WA clubs and decide Freo are much closer to a flag, and possibly the more probable WA club to win a flag. Their good young players are all in the same age bracket as himself. If it's a difference of $1.2m versus $1.5m per, and Freo just might be more enticing.

Imagine going to Freo to try to win a flag. There is more chance a blind man would win eye spy.

Depends I guess if they thought there was a chance they would get less for him uncontracted, but you’re right contracted players are always less likely to get done.

For us I’d try now…we have the currency and contracts are not worth the paper they’re written on

Um......... Yes they are.

Sydney wouldn't care if they got less when he is out of contract. They are trying to win a flag.

99% agree.

The only way they let him go under contract would be for legitimate family reasons.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

I'm a massive Moraes fan, and he gets horrendously underrated. If we trade one, as we should he is absolutely what we need.
He and Murphy Reid I'm predicting for huge years.

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Ben Miller could be a decent KPD to target.

It might be hard to prise him out of Richmind though. With Gibcus out and Grimes on his last legs he will get a fair amount of opportunity at Tigers.

 

[Bacchus]

Indeed. We should be all over Warner like white on rice

But we could probably offer $500,000 pa more.

Only knock I’ve got on Christian is his disposal could be better, played well today only caught 3/4 of the game but him and Smillie out performed the Oak midfield for me. His two goals topped off a great start to the year. Did you say last year you knew him or related?

Reid got a bit of it in the Sandi game, was a funny game though, quite a strong wind blowing to one end and made for a pretty messy affair particularly for foot skills.
Harrison Oliver impressed as did Nathaniel Sulzberger( what a name). Taj Hotton got a heap of it but was messy with his skill execution and missed a handful of chances.
So match of the round is shown on Kommunity tv which unless you subscribe you can’t watch live. The replay was a better quality picture than the other games so I guess that’s a good thing.

 

[garlic munchers]

We've got KPF's in the system though. Who's playing KPD when Gov and Barrass are done?

KPF, KPF, KPFs…….

 

[Cuzz09]

Harsh but would it be worth targeting English, cutting/trading BBW or Flynn and keep Barnett?

Maybe we can tempt JUH over with a big cash offer? Some exciting forwards would be nice

Priority #1 is a KPD. Gov played well today and Barrass did alright but one is 31 and the other's back is cooked.

 

[random260]

I hope to god Smillie bounces to number 1. He's a player I do not want.

FOS/Jagga

However, I'm now starting to be open to Sid d
Draper. A balanced mid prospect. My preference with Sid draper all hinges on clay hall and if can break it as an inside mid.

The game with GWS showed me the huge reliance of Kelly Yeo and Reid to get ground ball. And with Yeo getting older reid is going to have his back sore from all the ground ball gets he's going to be carrying. Hence why Sid draper is becoming a viable option for me. Sid can share the ground ball work with Reid.


But Sid draper only If
1. Clay hall doesn't make it
2. Ginbey shows he more outside then inside

Imagine how extra depressing this year would have been if the Giants, Essendon or the Cats did the deal for our future first last year!

It’s still going to be depressing there is no Harley Reid in this draft.

but would we have had Curtin? An extra young mid

Um, you could say that about every draft.

There's definitely very exciting mids at the top, and bats deep enough (imo) that we could split our 1st, still get a gun AND something extra too

We would have taken him as KPD though, as Adelaide did

next year $1.3-1.5m/year. If A Reid comes on, we draft a high quality outside mid this year and draft/trade for a couple of high quality rebounding HBFs in the next couple of years I can actually see light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[Cuzz09]

But he'd 100% be playing (unless injured) so blooding another kid

We will see, I’m not as sold on this cohort as some. Favourite for number one had a pretty average day today by potential number one standards. Concerned over the disposal by foot of a number other high end possibilities.
Hopefully it’s just round one nerves and things start to build as the season progresses.
