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

All I see in Saad is a bloke who gets it and runs fwd with nothing at the end of it. He and Conor on either flank would be a death trap across hb...

Don't really want. Prefer one flank that can defend

Saad is the perfect player to add to our HBF line given McGrath looks set for more midfield minutes. Very happy that we are reportedly into him.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

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:

Christ eth, are you doing a ****ing Rory?!

I've been hinting since back in June I was coming with my very first post....

Killer_Mike was onto me nice and early

Should go to Gold Coast, they need him so much more.

Reported where?

Talking footy, they interviewed him, he sounded very keen on the idea i think its a done deal

He'd be a good fit there, knows the coach. Would like to see some decent leaders headed to Gold Coast though, especially if Ablett leaves and even if he doesn't.

Hard for them to approach him without a coach haha

Twitter rumour - Jack Watts to break contract to get to Port Adelaide

That's somewhat akin to jumping from the frying pan, into the fire...

2 years left on contract.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Lose Trengove, gain Watts. Not much of a net win there. They'll miss the finals next year

 

[citizen-erased]

Was there a portmanteau name for Walla and Hartley?

Walley surely

Seems contracts aren't worth the paper they are written on these days.

It was tweeted by a journalist which the AFL account has in it's official journos list. About as legit as it can be without quoting the man himself..

Meh - it's just a rumour... until it's not.

What it does promote, is that contracts in the AFL today are worth jack shit.

I'll be interested to see how it plays out, because it opens a huge can of worms. One being that the mid-season draft would become viable again in a huge way. Finals defining.

I dont really like him but Sam Maclure has been running with this for weeks and not one joirno has followed.
Pretty good get.

Norf would be spewing - another top end aged player that could have been the best on their list, by streets, that got away.

Imagine what that mofo could have taught their shitty club about destination and respect.

Minnows.

A mid-season draft should be for non-listed players only... so VFL players or whoever that have missed out. Changing clubs mid-season is bizarre (I know it's happened before but I just find it strange).

Also went with the Hodge story and was laughed and ridiculed

Not sure how we get him but he would slot in nicely.

I think it has so much merit and has had for many years, after being dropped.

When Ryder, Watts et al all can screw up "binding" contracts, why can't the rest.

It may well turn someone's season around, given the chance.

And now that you can trade future picks, imagine the shenanigans if someone thinks they're half a chance of finals or a flag with a new ruck or goal kicking HFF on their list.

If you're going to do it... go all in

That's just his hair.

Personally, it's hard to split what makes him so odd looking. Is it the bizarre haircut? The eighthead? The over plucked eyebrows? Or is it a combination of all three.

He like the Brendon Goddard of looking like a freak.
