2014 Free Agents

[go_the_dockers]

Which players should Fremantle be looking at?

I assume we are going to look at Frawley and Reid to see if either of them are interested. I do not see anyone else we would be interested in due to the strength of our list at the moment.

[Taylor]

My options:

Ben Reid, James Frawley, Travis Boak, Kade Simpson, Bryce Gibbs, Lachie Hansen, Shaun Higgins

In that order.

 

[Docker82]

How about we focus on Ibbotson and Mundy first? The other three will take care of themselves and will either be retired or with us in 2015.

Other than James Frawley would surely want to taste a few victories/finals in his career. AFL careers don't last forever.

 

[Docker82]

To add to that list Ryan Crowley will be a free agent surely. Arrogant media once again completely ignoring his significance and importance to us. Once again though very much doubt he'll ever leave us.

Is Duffield a free agent? If years on the rookie list count he would be. Anyone know the ruling on this?

Daniel Kerr has retired.

 

[Taylor]

Daniel Kerr has retired.

Trent West was traded to Brisbane, so that one is wrong too but I expect these sort of things to be full of errors.

 

[Bender571]

The article is from June.

 

[Lach72]

The two tall backs. Reid and Frawley.

 

[The Anchorite]

Somebody's going to offer Mundy a uteload of cash.

 

[manpurple]

keep who we want from our lot. Tell the rest to go fund raising elsewhere.

 

[se17enteen]

Not a free agent but Fyfe is out of contract end of 2014. Must sign Fyfe and Mundy before looking at others.

 

[Leatherpoizoned]

Many of those seem unlikely to come to Fremantle or would fit in our Demos. Frawley is the obvious one. If Melbourne have a semi decent year though rule him out. Maybe Lachie Hansen but we would have to pay overs for him as he seems pretty comfortable at the Roos and doesn't seem like someone keen to move (or challenge himself in any real way).

 

[Nickos66]

Somebody's going to offer Mundy a uteload of cash.

In that case, expect the AFL to revisit the compo rules and to make the announcement that compo picks a scrapped the night before this eventuates.

 

[willoblue]

our modus operandi seems to be one of a "moneyball" type where we identify tier 2 players who we could use.
I was actually hoping for the Pearce move before we did it & I reckon the Sylvia one could be even better.
watch for the fish a bit smaller than the big fish

 

[JunglistPosse]

Not a free agent but Fyfe is out of contract end of 2014. Must sign Fyfe and Mundy before looking at others.

Let these droids pass

 

[Arcassius]

Mundy ain't going anywhere - not when we just got to our maiden GF, same with the rest

 

[mightymouse75]

I'm free

 

[mike91]

I'm free

Are you a key forward?

 

[manpurple]

Are you a key forward?

Maybe he's a Holden guy and doesn't mind keying a ford

 

[Rob]

Mundy ain't going anywhere - not when we just got to our maiden GF, same with the rest

And if he gets offered $1.5m a year?

 

[Arcassius]

And if he gets offered $1.5m a year?

Depends on who's offering It'd have to be a stupidly large contract to pry him loose - there's a lot of reasons to stay and achieve with this group and the culture is strong. I just don't see him going

 

[Beetlebum]

Right now money would be the only reason anyone who is near our best 22 would leave and I suspect to shift blokes like Mundy, Fyfe, etc it would need to be massive money, as good as he is I can't see another club offering Mundy a million plus purely because he's nearing 30 and he's a midfielder. There's no logical reason to leave a side that is thereabouts as a Premiership chance even to go to another Premiership fancy.

 

[Freomaniac]

I wouldnt be surprised if any Victorian club offered mundy a big 3-4 year deal worth $800,000-$1,000,000 a year.

The only guys I actually want off that list are from Collingwood. Harry O, Ben Reid and Dane Swan would strengthen our squad. I wouldnt mind Steve Johnson at geelong as well.

I wouldnt mind Hodge or Mitchell from the Hawks for 2-3 seasons either. Boak will be a wanted man in 2014.

 

[Taylor]

I too liked the look of Steve Johnson, but we would only get him in purple when he is 32.

 

[Freo_4eva]

Its time for operation Get Frawley.. thats if we dont already have the wheels in motion. Reid would be the dream, but next to no chance to leave the pies i would think.

The rest are either very meh.. or too old to bother.
