He is a dirty player and not the type that I'd be happy to cheer for in our own team. Plus he's slow and getting beaten often now. Multiple teams in the comp don't have a forward he can match up on. I was actually surprised he lined up yesterday. Didn't do much - but then he didn't need to.

Bennell's going to be coming cheap now. Reckon we could offer a 5th rounder and no one else will match it.
Hasn't Bennell been delisted? Why do we have to offer/give anything for him??

Would you consider Stanton for 1 or 2 years.

Upgrade on Mzungu. Would be great 7th mid.

Would only consider if we got Bennell and McCarthy.
Stanton is best played as the hard running forward who finds space in the midfield. Just like Dane Swan in that aspect, he won't improve delivery inside fifty but he will present as an option for kicks heading that way as well as in shooting range. He isn't going to be much different from Barlow in this role but should we play Fyfe forward and Barlow at the bounce we will significantly upgrade the running half forward.

Well at least we have the pick before West Coast in the draft. Hopefully it proves to be vital in luring WA players to Freo and not WC. Could be important in an offer to Jetta if we have to get McCarthy and/or Bennell.
Would be a bonus is Jetta ended up going to the PSD - as we'd be the 1st WA team to grab him.

Would absolutely take Dawes for a late pick and average money however he won't come over for that and will sign with melbourne unless he wants another chance at a premiership.
This is if we don't get mccarthy for a year or 2.

De-listing only occurs if no party is willing to trade for him.
Maybe we just wait and see if anyone else is interested... We maybe only ones, so lets just wait and pick him up without giving up much... There are big ?? Hanging over him, could go either way and hate to see us give up any players or high draft picks for him if he's not wanted by GC or anyone else...

If you want to deal with a club in the future, sometimes you just have to be reasonable in dealings with them.
We may have a player Who is surplus to our needs and is happy to move to Gold Coast. If GC were interested in that player why wouldn't we do the trade.
I think it was always going to be a great outcome for the club Harley chose.

Stanton is very good if no attention is paid to him. Taggers would go to Fyfe or Hill, leave him free to roam.

Left field idea, but wouldn't think he'd be leaving the bummers

Gee, I'd consider taking Dawes if Pav was def retiring and we knew that the McCarthy deal could not get done without selling the farm...

Dawes in combination with Tabs/Apeness/Mayne would tie us over nicely for 2 years before we go guns blazing for Hogan!

The other plus is we would have the currency to gain a bennell/Stevie J, AND, take some decent picks to the draft this year....

hmmmmm.......
