Greg Broughton

[Dudley Leopard]

If fringe players like Koby Steven and Mitch Brown ( both versions ) can get a dedicated thread then so should a quality player like Broughton.

Who wants Greg?

I reckon a pick in the high 20s to low teens would be fair.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Port are reportedly interested, I hope we get him.

I assume pick 30 wouldn't be enough. One idea I had was trading Daniel Stewart and pick 30 to Brisbane (rumoured to be interested) for pick 24, then on-trading that for Broughton. Maybe throw in WA boy Surjan as steak knives (although if Freo were interested they could take him as a DFA anyway).

I wouldn't be upset if the Saints traded Pick 25 for him or included Cripps in a trade.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

pick in the 20's would be perfect.

I would love the roos to look at him, perfect replacement for Atley when he gets released into the midfield. I don't think we have the picks to get it done, we wouldn't offer 15, but 38-39 wouldn't get it done.

He did play a number of seasons under Scott Waters for Subiaco.

This seems to have come out of nowhere though. I thought he'd definitely be a required player at Fremantle. Has anybody heard anything about him wanting out or being unhappy?

 

[philthy05]

you would have to think saints have the means,and a connection, now its just the will.

i know sfa about broughton and wouldnt want port paying a big price for a 26yr old. if one of our 2nd rounders was enough i would be pretty stoked but as it seems even if lyon does think frak all of him then another team could easily outbid that pick 30 if they want him, which seems likely from some of the hype. i wouldnt want port to go any further for that for a 26yr old where we are currently at. from talk of broughton he sounds super similar to our paul stewert, who being a port player none of you probably dont know/rate.

I don't think he or his manager saw this coming. Both have been overseas with Broughton getting back on Sunday but there has definitely been some kind of talks. There is a quote from his manager (in todays hardcopy paper, I can't find it online so you just have to trust me ) questioning that if there isn't a spot for Greg then he'd be silly to not look around.

I posted this on the Freo board but IF Broughton was to be traded I'd like Broughton + pick 17 to the Saints, pick 13 + pick 25 to Freo.

Very large sum due to him next year under his Freo contract has apparently lessened Port's interest. He also wants a long term deal: Rucci.

So we probably see why Freo put him on the table ....

He probably asked for a lot from Port, may ask less from other clubs. You'd want a lot to go that's rebuilding.

True. If you don't want to go to a club or you are unsure then this is the way to do it.

 

[Amon Fenorty]

Inconsistent, unreliable and has already fallen out of favour from Ross Lyon. My recommendation to him would be to leave while he still has market value....

Inconsistent and unreliable, you are joking right?

Hardly. He may was moved from his best position (back), but part of that was because of injuries he carried last year. He played every game till he injured his hand which ended his season. Don't know were inconsistent and unreliable come from. He's best 22 every day of the week.

No clue whatsoever.

Troll

Lets remember that Broughton was in our best 22 up until he had to have finger surgey about round 16 which put him out for the season. He doesnt fit Ross Lyon's idea of a defender that is true, but what is to stop him from playing as a defensive forward. If he wants to chase easy games then by all means he should go to a club where he can walk in to the side, or he can stay and earn his spot in a team that is pushing top 4.

We don't have a problem with our salary cap. We need to improve our draft position so we can recruit some KPP's. That is the only reason he would even be considered for trade.

This is pretty much unanimously thought on the Freo board.

 

[Masked Magician]

Also what about this

Broughton to saints
For cripps and pick 37 ?

We don't know if freo are interested in Cripps. It was suggested we were more interested in Ledger but who knows. Don't think Ledger is available anyway.

No, Broughton for 13 would be about right, probably about 3 or 4 picks to high though.

 

[Masked Magician]

Well this Has some value
1, wants to go back to WA
2, he was initially drafted to saints when Ross was around, yes I no he didn't play him much but they could be on great terms
3, Broughton reported to be getting interest from saints

Just a little thinking, open your mind an think what of it as you wish

 

[Masked Magician]

Won't happen hickey for pick 13 and a swap of 2nd and third rounds is all but done

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Have heard he doesn't like a Ross though
