We should do one of those baseball deals with Adam Treloar

- Offer Treloar a 10 year 5 mill contract
- Give Collingwood a 2021 4th rounder
- Pay Treloar 500k per year for 10 years, burning a list spot on him despite never playing in the final years of his deal
- Win 2021 premiership vs Collingwood with Treloar winning the Norm Smith after a 40 possession 2 goal game
 
Do you really trust Vardy to be our depth after his past couple years? He’s been woeful when played. Williams is a forward who is a part time ruck, rather than the other way around.

We’d then be relying on Jamison as our only full time proper ruckman, and, as you said, he’s still very raw.

HickGod is the only ruck depth we have.

Naitanui is an incredible player and influences games like few other rucks currently in the game (maybe Grundy & Gawn). If NN goes down, it won't matter whether we have Hickey, Vardy or Williams taking his place. Nor am I convinced that a ruck can have any influence on the contest unless they're of NN's ilk.

So Hickey, a 29 year old 2nd string ruck, for a pick in the 20's seems value. Not just for the pick we receive, but for the very little that we actually lose.
 
Hello all, I come in peace. It's an odd one Witherden, I think on our Lions boards he was talked about during the year simply because he was behind Birchell and Rich and then Lester had a huge turn around to save his career (also married to Zorko's sister) and then Starcevich got really going and we had Answerth also going great of half back and of course Ah Chee being able to be swung back or forward. Witherden is the most likely replacement for Birchell and Rich as the 'director' coming out of the backline. The 'Luke Hodge" type role.

He has 2 years on his contract and from social media is currently away with the main bunch of players and their partners in far north Qld living in up. He is close mates with a number of them particularly Cam Rayner. While I can see he might leave for opportunities next year but the year after that, his position is quite clear Birtchell and Rich will be gone. Starcevich will move to the mid field or the wing to replace Mitch Robinson when he retires. He was also seen as a future leader for us. The knock on him is that he is a bit slow in leg speed and his disposal efficiency fell away but then his game this year when he returned was probably his best for the club. Never say never, but if you guys are offing big big money he might go, coach Fagan is all about development and Witherden with Luke Hodge coaching him also seems well and truly part of our future. We don't need draft picks this year, all we really need now is a young ruckman to replace Steph Martin if he goes or retires.
Thanks for the info mate , opposition supports are always welcome as long as your not being a dick which you aren't.

Can't see why a player with no connection to WA would even join us except for increased chance of a flag. Brisbane is probably just as close to one(?). He originates from near Geelong, so you'd think he'd prefer heading back there if they have any interest.

Yeo says hi

Witherden 2019 was very average but would definitely be a decent pick up.

how we ain’t doing Brander for Clark is crazy even if it’s steak knives thrown in from us.
Witherden and Clark just what we need.

I would rather get Witherden cheapish and keep Brander than trade Brander for Clarke. Witherden has massive upside
 
Would be this.

Client not getting a game so leaks it out to get the Club worried.

WCE would be enquiring about heeeeeeeeaps of players.
His clients contracted until the end of 2022. He’s leaking it a year early if it is his manager, no point doing it now with 2 years of his contract left and 4 months until the start of the next season. Makes no sense
 
Why are freo prepared to pay through the nose for Clark? Haven't they learnt a damn thing in their recent trade history?

Clark has potential, but we're talking about a player who played 3 games this season and averaged 12 disposals... Hence the reason why he's been shuffled out of the side.

The funny thing is Sydney did similar with Buddy and the AFL slapped them with draft/trade bans (as they were a top team getting a free agent).

Then Lynch to Richmond and Cameron to Geelong and no bans in sight.... [emoji849]

I wouldn't want Treloar, especially not at $800k a year for 5 years. Spend the $4m on getting Yeo's OP fixed.

Behind Bews and O'Connor.

He's got potential for sure, but still one of those players that could go either way (improve to a top 100 player in the comp, or end up middling or worse).

I think we were interested in Clark because we had Brander that we thought might be an asset to them and superfluous to our needs.

To go out and trade away your high draft picks or break your back for Clark is ridiculous. Freo need to just ****ing draft, develop and coach their own players.

defender Alex Witherden is on the money. Preliminary discussions only at this stage, but all parties are interested.
 
From memory, Witherden has a bit of arrogant campaigner about him.
We can never have enough of that!

He was the kick out specialist for a while at Brissy, no reason why he can't be Hurn's replacement in that role. Plus would allow Duggan to move into the midfield more.

Pretty keen for this deal to go through, assuming it's not just smoke.
And we have a pretty good history bringing in Brisbane players, and this seems no different.

Alright guys check the jeremy cameron thread now, rip
 
Nice to see Witherden’s name being thrown around. I doubt we jag him but always good to have more than 1 player to speculate about over the next couple of weeks haha

I rate him higher than Clark too - not that I think Geelong will be keen to see him go.

I know we have Hurn in his last year and Jetta with 1 foot out the door (done I think), but guys like Nelson, Cole, Duggan (obvious midfield potential that must continue to be expand Rotham are all options back there, with Brander supposedly continuing his transformation into Brent Staker by flapping around there for a bit next season.

I guess with Watson gone also and Jetta on his way they may be looking for more depth back there.

What will it take?

Lions fans like Jarrod Cameron - I’m not 100% on him so would weigh it up but the club won’t move a player unless they put their hand up.

Are we thinking future 2nd?

Something’s cooking I bet ..
