Recruiting Trade & Free Agency IV - hypotheticals etc. (Continued in Part V)

[eth-dog]

Not worried about kicking action, more the decision making

Again, Gold Coast's forward structure is a shambles. When he was playing for Coburg he and Lech Featherston had a great understanding together. Featherstone had around 60 shots on goal that year, Saad set up around 25-30% of those at a guess. Not to mention he and Hartley are very good mates

Kennedy will be nominating Carlton.

Would have thought he might struggle to get a go in their midfield...Cripps is the type of player he should be, they will probably have Rockliff,Gibbs(??), Murphy, Doherty wants to move to midfield, Devon Smith, SPS and pick 3 will be getting midfield time. That has him about 8th in line to get a run through the midfield by my count. Sell him the "you will be our Josh Kennedy" story and go get him!!

Take out Rockliff and Gibbs potentially, and he gets in ahead of the rest except Cripps and Murphy

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Was reported that Gibbs is staying.

Eth-dog will probably be able to confirm, but i am pretty sure Saad played in defence at coburg with Hartley.

Might be worth getting Harts involved in the pitch...

Yep, and the two are very good mates. It's not at Hartley/Walla levels but they're definitely close.

Might have to hide any evidence of the walla-harts bromance.
Dont want Saad getting jealous haha

 

[Mootsy]

i hope we're not all hedging our betts on stringer...

we need midfielders now who is midfielding...

 

[Killer_Mike]

Hopefully of the voluntary OTT variety a la "Dear Conor", rather than hunting people down and going full shame nun.

The club supposedly wants Stringer in the middle.

I can see Saad joining into it honestly. Great guy

 

[Mootsy]

the dogs want a 1st round pick, we are only willing to give up a 3rd round pick...

Haha, that would be so far from the truth.

Was there a portmanteau name for Walla and Hartley?

What the Dogs want is irrelevant. They basically sacked him.

HarTippa? Could turn into HarTippAad?

McSaartly?

 

[eth-dog]

McSaartly?

That works better

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Isn't Saad contracted until the end of 2018? I can't imagine the Suns would be all that thrilled to see him depart. He's one of their classier and speedier types. That drive and dare off half back is something that they're already lacking - would be a sizeable loss.

But they didn't tear up his contract.

 

[doug85]

McSaartly?

Saad + Hartley = Shartley

 

[srobbo]

Pfft....stringers not a midfielders ar**hole. I marvel at the delusion in here that he is though.

Stringer's an Aker like w***er & no good for the playing group with his mindset. I think if you can't respect Bob Murphy & Bevo then you've got to be more trouble than your worth.

Let Geelong have him.

Nah, they have plenty of those types.

Also, using twitter as an infallible source (everyone knows that, right?) we're getting Saad:



Here's the tweet fwiw:

No but their coach and former skipper have come out and basically trashed him publicly. He won't stay after that.
