Not the first time they've had a look at him. Like I said theyll be looking at anything over 192 that can kick goals this year, they just refuse to develop their own forwards lately it seems.

From all the Media thats come out lately Black seems really happy at North so I'm not overly worried.

I suspect Fremantle will be "circling" the names of 200 players in the competition, considering Lyons inability to develop players.

Aaron is happy at North and has acknowledged that he is indebted to the club for sticking by him during his long injury layoff.

It's a pity you guys have shit depth and not much to trade. I think this is going to hold you back.

I reckon about 30%, if we're pulling numbers out of our arses. In any case, we only need to speak to a couple if them.

75% of our list our out of contract either this year or not. You guys would be roughly the same.

Freo would be irresponsible if they weren't looking closely at him. This isn't really news.

Shit depth? Pav, Sandi, Kepler, griffin, hill and Walters out for large portions, with Fyfe missing 2 also and we're sitting fifth.

Ok then.
Pav: Done
Sandi: Done
Kepler: Little trade value
Griffin: Tradeable, but not required by North or a few other clubs.
Hill:Best 22, not depth.
Walters: Best 22, not depth. Missed games against Melbourne and Adelaide. Whoopee ****en doo

of course not, just stating the obvious. We wouldn't have been the only club either, he is a good player :thumbsu:
Promising players are always interested targets. So what?

I predicted West Coasts present demise 18 months ago and I will give you the mail now, if you don't manage to poach several players in the next 18 months then you have bugger all chance of winning a flag in the next 5-7 years. The Swans and Hawks are better set and Gold Coast and GWS will be fast approaching in your rear view mirror.

Lyon will have packed his bags for greener pastures by then. He couldn't develop an erection in the playboy mansion.

That's great but as has been mentioned already he's contracted to the end of 2014 so you will be wasting your time

Not really. A trade could still be made. But North would have the upper hand

* Firstly, North would have to want to make the trade to begin with. If the answer from North is no, the whole thing is off regardless of what Freo or Black want
* In the unlikely even North said yes, they could demand much more than Black was worth. They have nothing to lose - if Freo reject paying for overs North keep Black anyway

So a trade could still be made, but it would go all the Kangaroos way

Yep the answer would be no from north unless you offered up something too good to refuse

Aaron has what we badly lack, class.

He's worth more to us from a pure footballing perspective, than most other clubs.

I honestly don't think Freo would be willing to pay the required price. It's just as likely they are sniffing around North to see what falls out of the tree. North are a side that has undergone a significant development phase and we are still only paying 95% TPP. e.g. They might want Black but they might realistically be targetting Tarrant or Hansen (again).

Exactly. And with Free Agency at the moment, I can't see us poaching for anyone already under contract.
Personally, I think us sniffing for Black is all rumour. Every key forward whose contract is up or a free agent is linked to Freo, from Buddy to Jack Watts. Now we are linked to players under contract as well :rolleyes:
