Recruiting 2017 Free Agency: Luring an A-Grade Player

[ghostdog]

I'm guessing that with all the draft talk going on that this went through to the keeper.

"AS ESSENDON prepares to stock up on young talent in Friday night's NAB AFL Draft, the club is also preparing to lure an 'A-grade player' to Tullamarine next year.

"We're actually in a pretty good position now," Essendon football manager Rob Kerr said this week.

"Part of our plan going forward is that we'd be chasing an A-grade player to come into the club over the next one to two years."

"Fremantle Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe and Richmond dynamo Dustin Martin headline the list of potential free agents at the end of 2017.

Also there is Swans midfielder Josh Kennedy and Hawks premiership defender Grant Birchall."

man i can't wait for like 10 fish to actually become free agents

 

[ghostdog]

Josh P Kennedy turns 29, so Fyfe.

...although, if we draft McGrath, and instead of Clug put Martin at HF/Mid could become a goal kicking mid? Problem: Martin is a scumbag who I don't want at EFC (White Ribbon at the ready) and I'm hoping we draft Clug.

... so Fyfe.

Sorry guys, I guess you missed the news, Fyfe's already captain of St Kilda.

 

[Mercuri Rising]

Sorry guys, I guess you missed the news, Fyfe's already captain of St Kilda.

i'll wait til i hear it from brian, thank you

 

[2one2]

Sorry guys, I guess you missed the news, Fyfe's already captain of St Kilda.

Not sure he'll be best 22 at St Kilda, would need to somehow push Laverde out of the team you'd think

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Sorry guys, I guess you missed the news, Fyfe's already captain of St Kilda.

I wonder if Fyfe would be happy playing at shithad in front of low crowds every week lols.

 

[yaco55]

Expect the club to go hard at Martin - Very good player but needs to be reprogrammed to be an even better - Get the programming right and he could be elite.

 

[table tennis]

Which Martin. Dustin Martin out of contract too

 

[Capt Hindsight]

Probably need to make finals to help attract a decent free agent.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Sorry guys, I guess you missed the news, Fyfe's already captain of St Kilda.

uh uh, Hawforn already have him wrapped up. Graham Wright has been in talks with him since just before his father and mother conceived him

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

Meh we'd only have to end up trading for Fyfe or Martin anwyay. Rather keep the draft picks and develop our own and spread the coin out more evenly between several young guns.

Billings for a 4th rounder
