Freo are sitting out the first couple of rounds, but we need a small forward (Darcy Jones?) and a project ruck (Jackson Broadbent?). Unlikely we get a ready to go KPP with our first pick in the 30's, but it'd be nice.

Good luck to them. We couldn't get him right. :-(

You think 15 and 20 for 10? seems to suit both clubs. We will probably burn 10 on matching a bid for Henry anyway, so this will get us an extra pick.

Not sure Melbourne would go this early. He is good, but I'm not sure we rate him that highly. You might end up with a homesick kid for 2 years.

I'm not so sure. Freo went hard at midfielders, and had no issues picking one in the first round that missed a bit of footy through injuries. I'm glad we got Weller, but I think we may have been sniffing around Cockatoo.

No way in hell Pickett will get further than WC, and if they do, Freo will take him. I would think Clem Smith may go well before the mid 30's as well. No way in hell any club will pick up Josh Simpson. He is never going to transition into the AFL system. Sad. Massively talented, but I...

He'll still be serving his sanction.

lLol, looks like Suban and Mzungu won't get it done.

Melbourne needs multiple mids and Freo needs a KPF, so what about something like Hogan for Mzungu and Suban? Would Melbourne supporters like that deal? It's probably slightly in Freo's favour, but not by much, as both are decent players. Maybe throw in a pick upgrade (our second rounder for...

lol, Conigilio hasn't shown a massive amount so far, and GWS are as likely to want to trade Cameron out as we are to want to trade Fyfe out. Fyfe would be worth 2 early picks at least, and more to us as we are in our window at the moment. Picks are a speculative investment, no gun player is...

I'd swap N.Fyfe and pick 17 for J.Cameron and S.Coniglio

I'm sure they will trust Harry's word over the newspaper. What's next? Will they try and forge his signature?

Frustrating? It's fricken hilarious.

Somebody forgot to tell Harry. http://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/article/2013/07/19/369604_news.html

The article you posted is saying the same thing that was being said a month ago. He is "about to sign". Still hasn't signed, despite your continued assertions that it's been done. Let me know when if he signs.

Has he put pen to paper? I wouldn't think it'd take 4 weeks. I am only saying that the longer it drags on, the worse it looks for the cats.

Nope, if he'd signed we'd have heard of it. He was "going to sign" 4 weeks ago. Since then, there has been radio silence. He may have intended to sign, but maybe something was whispered to him by WC|Freo|Wife and he is reconsidering. From my understanding, the press release was from the...

The cats were crowing a month ago that HT was about to sign. To hear them tell it, he had the pen in hand. Since then... nothing but the sound of crickets chirping.

Why, has Harry put ink to paper? He hasn't signed yet, despite the cats claiming he would. The longer this drags on, the more optimistic I am getting.

Suban or Crozier might be traded. I don't think Josh Simpson will make the transition to the Cattery. Reports have him as a bit homesick now, and he's only a couple of hundred K's from home. I don't think we would trade Mayne, but I'm not really privy to the inner sanctums ponderings.

KPD? Yes please. Freo will be chasing a few KPP this summer. Apart from McPharlin/Dawson we have Faulks (unproven)? Tanner Smith(work in progress)? Would like to see a trade for someone like Tayte Pears. Would gladly give the Don's a pick upgrade for him. Our second for your third? Or maybe...

Lol, I was just about to say now way you are getting Michie and Smith. Michie will be playing in our midfield as soon as his fitness is up. And Tanner Smith is one of the few KPD we have on our list (along with McPharlin and Faulks and maybe Dawson).The fact that there isn't a player on our list...

Schwabby? Is that you? Talk about eggs in one basket. That effectively removes us from this draft for a 27.5 yo defender. Yikes.

Lol, it's not that everybody is trying to screw Geelong in this trade, it's just opportunism. If HT is coming home, WC/Freo are under no obligation to pay market value. If he is going to stay in Geelong this entire thread is moot. HT is a great KPP with a couple of years left in him, and as...

We would absolutely love him, but WC need him more, so are likely to throw more at him. We need KPP (Harry Taylor/ Scott Gumbleton/ James Frawley) a lot more than we need outside pace. Freo fans are really looking forward to watching Morabito run back out there. He'll be back in the WAFL in a...

Ok, I just read the first paragraph of the article which was about the lure to return home. If he doesn't want to go, then Sydney can ask for whatever they want. If he wants to go home, Sydney will have to scramble to get a decent trade for him.

That's great, now all you'll need to do is relocate the Collingwood Football Club to WA and this trade will be a go. Lewis Jetta wants to come back to WA, which is what is screwing Sydney. Maybe there could be a 3 way trade with another club. What do Collingwood need from WC?

I'd be ok with that. Gumby to Freo to transition into our forward line as Pav goes. He'd cost less than half of what we'd pay for Buddy. We aren't Sydney, we aren't gifted an extra 10% of our salary cap to spend on players because we are the rugby heartland. We have to be a bit more careful with...

We have Hill and D.Pearce for pace, would love Jetta, but we don't need him asmuch as WC do. If we did get him, we'd smash teams on the outside on the bigger grounds :-)

I'd be torn. There are massive wraps on this kid over here. Given my mixed feelings on it, it'd probably be an okay trade. We have another small forward (Mellington) who is playing pretty well in the WAFL so I guess we could cover him. We would need to find another trade to get us a first...
