Rumour The Thread formerly known as the rumour file, now with zero rumours

Fyfe would require a Judd like deal. He'd be a superstar in Victoria...really don't see anything eventuating from it all though.

Same here.

But Richmond think because Fyfe grew up a Richmond supporter & they have their 'war chest' that it's a possibility.

Fyfe won't leave Freo - he's a country WA boy + they're in their window.

Unless Hawthorn come calling

Superstar yes, but he doesn't bring Judd like leadership and culture changing qualities.

I think the Pies are a real chance to snare him.

But haven't Collingwood already got that superstar Taylor Adams to play the same role...

They are very different players,

 

[etsal1]

They are very different players,

One is a gun.


One is in the VFL.

Swan, Cloke, Pendelbury, Beams would all be on big money. Who else could they fit in? Ball will go but I assume his deal was front ended.

VFO....

Very ******* Ordinary !!

 

[Sam The Doc]

IMO to get Fyfe you'd have to offer slightly less than we did to get Judd.

Yeah i think a 1st round and Deledio would be paying overs but would have to be the offer.
Definitely wouldn't be offering up Ellis to anyone, he is gonna be a great player.

 

[Sam The Doc]

But haven't Collingwood already got that superstar Taylor Adams to play the same role...

Collingwoods midfield depth is ridiculous!
Taylor Adams will come good, just a kid adapting to another teams game plan.

I think they would target a key forward before anything.
Maybe Hawthorn? They have the space.

Daisy Thomas was taking up half their cap.

Well... thats his going to Richmond ****ed isnt it... they dont like having their culture changed.

 

[zeeCFC]

He would've been on 400-500k at the Pies. Fyfe would demand something close to the mil IMO.

It is not Adams ability to pick up a game plan that has him playing 2s it is his poor kicking

 

[pepalenko]

I thought that I was the complaints department... boned before we even got started...

you're replacing Barker Dram

 

[Dramoth]

you're replacing Barker Dram

thats cool... however... I dont think that I could miss the goals from about 10ft out straight in front at training... I would have to ****ing work hard at it actually

He's 20 years old, he will learn.

 

[Jeremias]

That's like us offering our first + Lucas?

No, it's not.

Conca is a significantly better player than Lucas.

 

[Sublime]

Conca + a second round pick + some other spuds thrown in will apparently get Fyfe to Richmond according to them

It'd be a first rounder + an ellis/deledio at bare minimum I reckon.

You've seen our board during trade week too right? I've seen much worse than that proposal floated here before!

 

[Sam The Doc]

No, it's not.

Conca is a significantly better player than Lucas.

Yeah i rate Conca. Another young player like Ellis that they can't lose.
Deledio is 27, i think they should consider checking out his value in the market.

a six pack of crownies and a couple of packets of crisps (BBQ flavour I reckon)

 

[Jatz]

Don't agree with that. Deledio has stood by the club when he had the chance to walk a couple of times. Would be incredibly rich from the club to then just turf him to suit themselves.

There are some players that need to be one club. Deledio is one of them.

That is true...

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Here's one from the 'burbs, looks like Whitefriars and Donvale are in the process of merging.

Rogers wants out after hearing of us trying poach others to replace him.



I said last week this would happen. And we have no replacement. SOS won't leave GWS whilst contracted (until 2016).

Had to laugh at the Hawks Newbold complaining....

And Newbold’s protest in front of the AFL Commission regarding clubs enticing staffers to break contracts was quickly rebuffed by Western Bulldogs CEO Simon Garlick. The Bulldogs chief reminded the Hawks that they had last year poached former Bulldogs football boss James Fantasia, who was contracted. This proved an ill-fated move which saw Fantasia removed within months, costing Hawthorn a six-figure pay settlement.
