na he hasn't shown much.
Shown a lot less than Aish
I'm not sure what the link is between him and Aish.

He hasn't had a lot of opportunities at Freo. There are plenty of footballers that don't get a lot of opportunities that end up being really good footballers at other clubs. He'd be a good get for us IMO, but Freo extended his contract for a reason.

And it was a nice 2year extension til the end of 2018

They definitely rate him highly & wanted him locked down

Seattle mariners. Boston Red Sox.
With us having no second round pick this year. Are we more likely to try and sign a free agent to cover that gap? Or trade out a player for a pick?

What do we think is the thinking in this?

Does Chris Mayne do anything for anyone. Not really High up on my like able list but is a Victorian and could be handy as a third forward! And isn't a name I've read about...

The available free agents are shit this year for the age group (25-27yr old) we would be chasing.

My thoughts are we will be chasing FA's no matter what from now on, as long as they are the type of player we are looking for.

I think we will only be trading a player out if we think it's a great deal. I can't think of anyone (with value) we'd be that happy about trading. Maybe a ruckmen if we had a really terrific deal on the table (big boy).

I think Mayne is a bit old for us at this stage. As far as FA's go I reckon we'd be looking at 25 year olds. Mayne will be 28 next season.

The thing is FA's cost us nothing trade wise so even if they aren't the elite superstar we are looking for, as long as they improve our side they'd be worth it.

You're right though, there isn't much there.

Has anyone got an updated lust on this years FA's?

Definitely target the draft/trades this year; making the most of our 1st round selection and our 2017 1st/2nd. We should hopefully already have discussions with potential Free Agents well and truly under way; the likes of the "Essendon Disenchanted", and who we see becoming available next year.

Alot of list cloggers in the FA list, prefer to go after some young players not getting gigs and the draft

Geez you weren't kidding. Slim pickings that's for sure in terms of top talent... I wouldn't mind looking at watts across halfback but not worth the money he'd likely want in saying that I don't want the headache but he seems the right age.

Anyway move on. I can see us trading a player at the years end to get another pick in the 20's. I really don't want to lose our top pick to something... I want a top midfielder in the draft... I was all for Carlisle, still am! Can't wait for him to be in the back line. But I want gun mid! From somewhere... Lachie neale??
