Talk in Perth has really picked up around Nat Fyfe. The rumour that he's not well liked amongst the playing group is Getting stronger and stronger by the day. By all reports if he does leave it will be to Victoria.

Not saying it's going to happen at all but how funny would it be given the Hogan situation and all the crap posted by Freo supporters if
1) Jesse signs a new long term deal
2) Nat Fyfe requests a trade to Melbourne

Not sure I could handle that level of excitement.

Unless we're trading Brayshaw, Petracca, or Oliver, we don't really have the trade currency to get Fyfe this year. Next year maybe if the Dockers cave to unders like Adelaide did when Dangerfield came OOC.

Like I said not saying it will happen at all. Just that it would be the funniest thing ever to see the meltdown from the freo supporters who think they will get Jesse. Especially for a Dee's supporter living over here who has the pleasure of listening to "I think we're gonna get hogan " every day from Freo work colleagues.
 
Depending on Prestia and O'Meara trades GC could have up to 4 top ten picks. They're going to try lure Fyfe there. Imagine Fyfe and Ablett in the same side!

If 2016 is anything to go by, it isn't going to amount to much! Need to get them on the park first.

My response to this everytime is "you're going to give us Fyfe plus what?"

He's a Free Agent next year, no trade required ... The only sticking point is if he's Restricted or Unrestricted. You'd imagine he'd be one of their top earners so likely Restricted, but given the way their luck is going at the moment, maybe his contract is heavily front ended, and he becomes unrestricted like what happened with Chip a few years back.
 
They seem to think pick 3 will do although they are reluctant. They're not the brightest lot. They also do forget we gave them Colin Sylvia

Haha. There's also the "he can just come to us when he's out of contract." Generally I then drop a reminder of their placing on the ladder and they don't have a comeback after that...

I understand. Also a Gawn -> Fyfe Tyson Viney Petracca Oliver Brayshaw Jones Hunt midfield group with Watts and Hogan as targets...aaahhhh. We could even just play Fyfe as a second or third tall.

Freo would match any offers and we can't go around offering anyone unreasonable money anyway. Gotta implement a structure like Geelong.

Haha I feel bad hating on Freo because as a rule I'd much rather put up with them than Eagles supporters. They are just arrogant pricks while Freo supporters are more 'special'.

What happened to the Dees big footy posters standard line? "Dont want Fyfe, we have enough of his type"

:tearsofjoy:
I honestly don't. Stayed the hell away from stating it on here though.
- The cost will be mega. Absolutely mega.
- Fyfe offers us something we have a lot of - inside brilliance. He's brilliant as that inside/out type, but lurking across the forward line he's not as good.
- I don't want us to throw out our wage structure by chasing him.

If we make finals next year I can see us making an offer, but I don't know that it'll happen. Think the Saints will make a massive play for him, but I don't know if he'll go there.

No one on our list comes close to offering what Fyfe does. Our list is building nicely but they are all along way from being A graders let alone superstars of the competition. If he played as a permanent forward he would have Watts covered easily as our 2nd key position forward behind Jesse.

His best spot is in the middle though.

And I suggest that we've already got 2 A-graders as well as about 5 B+...

A
Gawn
Viney

B+
Tyson
NJones
Hogan
Vince
TMac
 
Hard to compare Gawn to our midfielders but agree he is definitely A grade. Viney and Tyson are probably our best two midfielders but I still think Fyfe is a completely unique player that can plays both inside and outside at an elite level. I'd lock him in the middle alongside those two and throw Petracca in the forward line.

If things were continue to go pear shaped in WA and he looked at joining and building a premiership at a Victorian placed club and we have a good year in '17 then anything could happen. I mean Prestia just nominated Richmond... who saw that coming?
 
I'm not sold on Prestia. Has a lot of talent but I think there is a particular type of club that would get the best from him. Tigers run too much on emotion and not enough on solid systems. I think he'd do well in a more professional club like sydney, adelaide or hawthorn.
