GWS Trade

[Andre the Giant]

You'll probably need to offer him huge dollars to change his mind IMO...The money freo are offering will set him up for life if he's wise.

Well you're offering him huge dollars and us 2 1st round draft picks so I think it's fair to say we have the upper hand.

I think we'll sit for 12 months bring his gf over and hope he changes his mind. If he doesn't we'll put him up for trade to the highest WA bidder and will still get a 1st rounder and change for him anyway.

In 2 years freos window should be well and truly shut and ours will be opening. Doubt he will want to leave then until he has a medal around his neck. Then we may be more accommodating to let him go

We'll see....Pretty rare in today's modern footy players are not traded when they have requested a trade.

Game is won and lost in the guts and when you've got the best player in the comp by a considerable margin who's yet to peak....I can't see the window shutting anytime soon!

Tell that to Carlton who had Judd, Gold Coast with ablett, cooling wood with pendles.

I'm not going into a debate over this.

Do you want a player who in his heart doesn't want to play for you though? who will seek a trade once contract is over anyways.

Ideally no, but what we want less is to appear weak and cave in. The Boyd deal has set a precedent in some people's minds that you can just throw wads of cash at aa contracted player and we'll just cave in. It's in the club's best interest to stand firm. Time for these gen y kids to man up and realise that a contract means something rather than chasing everything that's shiny.

According to the Herald Sun Lamb to decide between the blues and the bombers in coming days

As long as they take his pay off the books I'm happy

Dawson showed a fair bit in 2013 and is well ahead of Phillips when fully fit but yes very, very injury prone

are we talking after being delisted or trying to trade for DS?
My guess is after multiple years and operations he is just about where he cant afford to have too many more... yet if he can string games together.. he could be worth a spot.

If its to happen it won't involve a trade as his an unrestricted free agent

True... but id not heard we were delisting him.. so OK , perhaps you might lure him away. We are looking at Smith so he may see less opportunities coming ahead

Hi team, just wanted to drop in - has anything happened on the McCarthy front - gone all quiet.

Chris Dawes and Ryan Schoenmakers are on the market. Now using past history as a reference I'd say you are about to offer one of those two a million a year for 10 years.

Wonder if there's a chance to lure lake out of retirement for 1 year?

 

[Hussey14]

Just out of curiosity, what is Lamb getting paid?

Believed to be on $300,000 or thereabouts. It was a three year deal of nearly $1m. 2016 is the last year.

About the same odds of McCarthy playing for GWS in 2016...

So pretty much 100%

Put a negative symbol in front of the 100 and you'd be on the money.

I don't think percentage chances work how you think they work.

Don't cheer in the run son, you're still the biggest sustained failure in the AFL and longest running team without a flag.
