He will get ridiculous offers from other clubs and rightly so. If he stays, it wont be purely for the money. He could get more elsewhere. Lifestyle, close(r) to family, loyalty, unfinished business etc. will all play a factor.

I have a really bad feeling about Hawthorn poaching Fyfe. They don't have a first round draft pick and would be eager to bounce back. They don't need draft picks for Free agency just money.
With Hodge, Gibson, Birchall & Burgoyne all probable to retire at the end of the year all on at least $500k each per year. That's at least $2m a year free.
And there is talk about Rosich becoming CEO at Hawthorn. I have a bad feeling we will get screwed
The best club for him is freo. The 2nd best is not a Victorian club.These are the good players at or under Fyfe's age at Hawthorn and JOM has serious ?? over how long he is going to be playing for. They also have no decent picks at the draft.
Tom Mitchell (24)
JOM* (23)
Gunston (26)
Shiels (26)
So Fyfe goes to Hawthorn. Why? Chance of premiership success during his remaining years, close to 0 (and that's not to bag Hawthorn - they won 4, but now they are bottoming out to do it all again).
Good players (or destined to be) Fyfe's age or under at Freo:
Logue
Billy
Walters
Bennell**
Weller
Crozier
Tucker
Blakely
Hamling
McCarthy
Balic
APearce
Langdon
Neale
+ a top 10 pick (most likely)
+ Captaincy

Taking emotion out of it and looking at the basics and I just don't see it. Carlton maybe, but not Hawthorn.
Fyfe and Sloane would be a perfect duo but I just can't see Fyfe leaving.The best club for him is freo. The 2nd best is not a Victorian club.

Spot on. I really can't see why people are still talking about it. It's not a question of if he re-signs anymore it's just a matter of when and what the terms areFyfe and Sloane would be a perfect duo but I just can't see Fyfe leaving.
If he wants to win a premiership he's better off staying with Freo than the Saints. We can match anything they off and so we should.The Saints? Would have his pick of teams and choses the Saints? Why would you?
aaaand the clubs phones are suddenly mysteriously down

Whilst I sort of agree with you, why would it piss him off? It didn't seem to piss off Ablett, Buddy, Danger, Scully ect.Whats the best way to piss of a prospective new client that you are trying to poach. Leak the story to the press and embarrass the hell out of him.. If it was true I think the Saints have s**t in their own nest. Hard to imagine him entertaining a move to the Saints but then again their 2 first round draft picks plus ours would set us up for years.
The Saints?!? I get that they have the trade currency and probably the cap space which might satisfy the technicalities of a trade but what on Earth do they have to offer Fyfe that he'd actually want? Lifestyle? - um, no. A big Vic club? - um, no. Bigger crowds to play in front of? - um, no. Better chance of a premiership? - um, no. A better coach - um, no. A more financially sound club? - um, no. Better training facilities? - um, no. Closer to family and friends? - um, no. More free kicks? - possibly.
This is clearly a clever ploy to cover up for the fact that we're actually going to trade Fyfe out to bring in Fui Fui Moi Moi.

If you guys could match our bid I'd happily trade hawthorns first and our first for him. It would definitely help set you guys up, there's no denying how much it would help us too.

Seems reasonable to me. Glenelg under 12s have had a lot more success and are expected to have more in the foreseeable future than the Saints - post Lyon era of course.including the Glenelg under 12s
