List Mgmt. OFFICIAL: Scott Selwood moves to Geelong as free agent

[Jhye Clark 13]

Something else to discuss and distract us from the endless Dangerfield rumors.

Another Selwood on the horizon?

Lure Adam over as Assistant coach and we'll have the box set!

Nab him as well as Dangerfield, and we have the inside grunt and stopper we're current lacking.

 

[BotsMaster]

Sign him up! You can never have enough Selwoods.

Need to create significant cap space

Rivers
Kelly
Enright
McIntosh
Stokes ?

Have to be agressive to remain at the top

 

[FredLeDeux]

1. He's LTI.
2. He has no interest in returning to Victoria.
Let's go get him.

Interesting reading the Eagles board discussing him. Almost a sense of ambivalence over whether he stays or goes.

I think you can add Johnson and Bartel to that list. I'm not as confident as others that they'll continue on either.

Not so much Johnson, but Jimmy is slowly down significantly.

The cap space will be there.

Ablett had no interest in leaving Geelong either.

 

[FredLeDeux]

Ablett had no interest in leaving Geelong either.

Yes, but he wasn't LTI, and he wasn't our vice-captain.

A good tagged would be great + great tackler

Imagine the Dawks booing every time the Selwoods get a head high free

While I'd have no issue with bringing multiple quality FA's , we must acknowledge that it will not result in a pure top down add to the list , it will probably result in the loss of some one we rate and want to keep. Still we must endeavor to improve our list and FA is the quickest way to add PnP.
Danger may be our number 1 target , but we all know about targets.. they are moving and not always hit.

So would SS be a good add. Looking at 15 minutes of Fox they other night Freo V WC and SS was matched up on Fyfe after was playing well on him , anyone capable of that has to be worth a look. The issue is he is RFA , and there will be limited money to go round if we get Danger.
Jack Steven would be hand as well but same issue.

Its more likely to my mind to pickup another Blease type or a trade like Stanley (where we traded a good pick for a player of the needed age)

 

[Stan The Caddy]

There's no doubt that he'd be a great fit at Geelong with his tackling and his defensive skills. He's got a bit of class about him aswell.

I understand that it is very unlikely, but if we could land both Selwood and Danger then that would take care of our midfield problems in one fell swoop.

in one fell swoop.

Kudos. Not many people now how to use this term with it's proper spelling.

That's a good enough reason to get him!! Go for it Catters!!!

Oh no!!! ^^^^
I hope that was an auto replace error, Son of God!!!

If I was you, SOG, I'd be crying Foul.

Im drunk.

Of course you are, it's between 1201am and 1159pm.

 

[you pick one]

Im drunk.

And you're making me look like a Rhodes Scholar.

lol- well spotted! I was too busy laughing at the irony of the 'it's' mistake

Jimmy is certainly slowing down , I'm hoping a leaner Jimmy will be rejuvenated in 2015 - just like Lewis and Hodge did after they leaned down for 2014.

It's because they think they won't finish top 4 and they think they will get band 1 compo which would equal a good pick. He is a good player but if they ended up with a top 10 pick they would be pretty happy with that.

FWIW I don't see him leaving the Eagles, much less likely to come than Dangerfield I reckon.

How do YOU pick which players may or may not want to leave their clubs, PO? Just interested in someone else's method for working out who will leave and who will stay at any particular club.

I always see the fact that they want to leave their contract until later on in the season as a good starting point for my suspicions that all is NQR...
of course, that theory goes out the window as soon as they do sign mid-season but it's the best method that I've got.

I just cannot see why players say that they can't physically sign on the dotted line because they 'want to concentrate on their development' or 'want to concentrate on getting over their injury', etc. etc. How many players sign with their feet, their shoulder, whatever? Pffft! It's just a delaying tactic. If I was Scott Selwood and I wanted to stay at the Eagles but was injured- as he is- I'd be signing pretty quick smart, while they still wanted me and on the back of a good 2012/3 or whenever it was, hoping they'd forget that I was injured.
