2015 Draft, Trade & Free Agent Discussion & Speculation Thread

[Lach72]

As much as I would love to have hogan, melbourne losing him would be soul destroying for their supporters. I dont think we would hold the currency to trade for him or have the cap space to lure him when he is a free agent. Only way would be if we were a powerhouse and melbourne a basketcase when he is a free agent imo.

Depends on Jesse. He says "I want to come home and I want to play for Freo" we'd be doing backflips, and anyone but Fyfe would be being sounded out to see if they'd like to live by the Yarra

Mitchie wasn't even a good WAFL player, whereas Ballard is.

WTF? So crap WAFL players win a B and F from 16 games fairly regularly then?

Average AFL player, granted, but he's pretty decent at the level below.

 

[Taylor]

Kenyan we want you to stay Moose?

Pretending I don't know who you are, so cute

freddieflintoff is from the UK, James Bond is from the UK, freddieflintoff is Chris Bond.

If he weighs the same as a duck then he is made of wood.

Dear Taylor
You are on the wrong scent.

So, situation normal?

FF has to be inside the club, could be a player or employee or very closely linked to one of these.

Classic deflection.

Yeah I was going to pick that one up too. Michie was fantastic in the engine room at WAFL. Centre bounce clearance machine.
He is actually still on an AFL list so it is disingenuous to say he's a spud.

 

[Arcassius]

banker forgets that michie spent a fair time and injured and took time to get his body right - all of us had high hopes for him

The only comments from banker I seem to come across are only ones that run down our players (or former in this case). It's fair enough to knock some of our guys and I'm sure we've all done it. I've said enough times I'm no fan of Tabs, but to only write derogatory comments makes me wonder if he's a genuine freo supporter. If he's ever written a positive comment, I've never seen it.

Sydney Swans we thought something was "done" ... ... it was Jetta to the Eagles. But we now hear Freo is starting to show interest.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

Why would he be sick of you stalking him ? You're a little beauty.

Pics or GTFO

I know stats are overrated but I dunno about statement

We currently have Sandi, Griffin, Clarke, Hannath and Moller as (maybe a forward ruck. ) all competing for the one spot. Other than Moller, none of these guys should be playing anything but Ruck.

We have Smith, Silvagni, McPharlin, Johnson, A Pearce, Dawson competing for 2 or 3 positions
and Pavlich, Taberner and Apeness competing for 2-3 forward spots.

This is shocking list balance, no one Taberner has been gifted games.

We need to delist\trade some rucks out of our side. We need a proper forward ruck, and we need to sign some more KPF's now.
Ideally 1-2 mature age players plus 1-2 draftees.

Wouldn't that be fantastic, with a flick of the wrist Hogan, McCarthy and Bennell all come to Freo. Stuff it throw in Jetta and Dangerfield while we are at it to create a legacy!!

Would love to be Samantha from Bewitched sometimes. [if you are old enough to remember that show]

Yeah I'm nearly 32 so I remember it fondly as a little fella.

My grandmother loved that show and my grandfather would come in and change the channel to watch Hogans Heroes. Used to drive her mad.

Surely any talk of Luenburger coming in is stupid unless 2 other rucks go out. (Why offer clarke )

We need 3 more key forwards especially with Pav only 1 year left.

Shoenmaker would be great. Look at players like McBean and see if they have any interest, off them a game round 1 as a forward ruck.

We have to do something, otherwise we will waste the best midfield we have ever have and playing 2-3 rucks is not the answer.
