List Mgmt. 2017 - Trading and Free Agency

[Tundrawolf]

Speaking of father/sons unfortunately Dillon O'Reilly miss's out by 2 measly games from being a player for us. 194cm and has been playing at CHF and in the midfield for CBC Fremantle and is also in the WA State 17's squad. Hits the ball really hard and is going to be very good.

 

[Tundrawolf]

And plays for East Freo colts.

 

[scon]

Can we rookie Stephen and put him on the team sheet a couple of times?

Haha ..that is so typical of the situations freo has been jipped with over the years....at this early stage whereabouts (roughly) do you think he might go in the draft?

??????
Is this for real???

According to Wikipedia the rule expires after being in the AFL for 20 years.

Stupid as * if you ask me.

.....ken typical and we can't calculate WAFL games as eligible.

 

[yakka man]

Pretty sure we aren't eligible for that anymore.

Correct as far as I know. Only father/sons we get have to haved played 100 games for Freo which is a low rate considering the high turnover rate we had in the early years.

 

[Taylor]

I think we have had 40 or 41 players reach 100 games

D. Pearce on 99 and Sutcliffe on 95.

So eligible next year's draft yeah?

If son O'Reilly is good enough, I reckon Father O'Reilly, seeing he is/was involved with the club recently, would know how to formulate a plan and get the club on board so that Dillon slipped in the draft and we picked him up with a late round pick.

Call it the "Jack to Carlton" strategy...

 

[scon]

Father O'Reilly's still on board.

 

[IAMJUNGLEMUFFIN]

You know what it sounds like we need? A mid-size forward with excellent frontal pressure, kicks the odd goal, strong around the ball, can go into the midfield for stints, rarely injured and who is young enough to stay with us through the rebuild, but doesn't need 4-5 years 'development' about 26/27 years old would be ideal... But where would we find such a player?

View attachment 383957

arrrrr... crap.

And can't kick the ball to save his life...

 

[Bender571]

Collingwood has three father sons on their list (and Travis Cloke who's obviously moved on), Western Bulldogs have four. Between them West Coast, Adelaide, Fremantle and Port Adelaide have one. Outside of the two recent expansions clubs Richmond, Hawthorn and Sydney are the only other clubs without father sons on their list, having said that Hawthorn traded Josh Kennedy to Sydney and Sydney Tom Mitchell the other way. Ok rant over now.

Langford is practically a F/S. Hawthorn signed him to a NSW scholarship so he wouldn't cost them a pick in the national draft. Sydney also passed on Dunkley recently.

 

[wayToGo_]

We passed on Bootsma as a father son. Not sure why we didn't father son select Clem Michael (rather than using pick 21!)? So our only father son ever remains the guy with the oldest looking hair in the WAFL. Seems silly they HAVE cut off our WAFL F/S rule given we have zero f/s prospects on the radar over the coming few years.

We didnt pass on Bootsma, his father had not played the required amount of games by 1995. He was a few games short.

Edit. He was a lot short.

Ah ok - there were mixed reports at the time - I thought we chose not to but you are right in that the AFL said we couldn't! Brad playing 23 for Freo and 162 games for South Freo wasn't enough because of the 1995 thing of course! There always seems to be some technicality that stops us from utilising mechanisms like these At least for once the AFL screwing us helped us avoid someone who wouldn't have worked out - Carlton used a late first rounder.

We couldn't father / son Clem because Stephen didn't play VFL.

Under the rules at the time the father had to have played at least one WAFL game before 1987 and then 50+ VFL / AFL games (for any club) for their son to be eligible.

We haven't had many opportunities unfortunately. Lester-Smith was eligible but we passed. And Peake has retired from WAFL now WayToGo.

Did Peake go back and play for North Freo again?

Woewodin is coaching there now

Not sure just remember his retirement being announced about 5 weeks in to the season.

 

[Purple dynamite]

Shouldn't we be expecting some contract news soon? Who's going to sign up first?
