Recommitted Matt Flynn [re-signed for two years]

Realistically, what would it take to pry him from the Giants - GWS fans?

I think he’d be great partnered with Marshall in our dual ruck strategy for life after Ryder

Can’t see us getting rid, or wanting to, part of our future ruck combo.
He is also a academy player.

Why would GWS give away the only decent young player in their weakest line?

I'm not even sure if it's a late 1st gets it done since GWS barely needs another high 1st round 18 year old draftee let alone a late 1st.

Only? Haven’t heard of Briggs?

Can’t see us trading him out in anyway.

We would of delisted him with all the injury issues he had previously if we didn’t have faith in him as a player and person.

I have, and he hasn't shown anywhere near what Flynn has. Ultimately you guys have dismissed the importance of having at least a decent/serviceable ruck and a generation of youth/stars was wasted. Can't see you contemplating any deal that doesn't involve a top 10 pick, which St Kilda has no chance of paying.

He has shown just as much if not more being younger. They have worked great in tandem.

Nah that wasn’t the reason for the waste, Mummy was great, our coach was.

No one said anything about giving away

 

[Vindicater]

Dont reckon he goes anywhere but is an interesting one to follow as would take the number one spot at a few clubs perhaps.

Clubs like Geelong would take him for sure but i doubt he leaves GWS.

GWS is investing a lot in Flynn and probably wouldn't trade him. From his games he going to very good once he hits 25yrs of age.

They do seem to love him. I still think one of Flynn/Briggs/Preuss will be shaken out, might not be this year though

 

[WillHayward]

Wanted him last year before we got Hickey.
Still want him. Ideal for Swans.

We need to get him to 50 games. There is a bit of Sean Darcy about him. Flynn is a touch older but just doesn't have the experience yet.

How long is he out injured for?

How long is he out injured for?

Season.

 

[Mofra]

Can't be too many currently listed players with a worse injury run. Poor guy is just plain unlucky

His debut game was very good. If not for all those injuries who knows how good Flynn could’ve been.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Season.

Back in time for start of preseason though I’m assuming?

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

shoulder reconstruction after Round 18

doubt pre-season would be feasable.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Apparently like Riccardi has a 2 year deal that he is yet to sign

Really? Can’t see Riccardi signing, would hope Flynn would considering.

 

[year of the cat]

Cats would likely be interested.

Briggs is the one I expect leaves

Briggs is the one I expect leaves

Nah I expect him to be best 22 next season, and being is a Western Sydney lad it would take a lot to move him.

All of Preuss/Flynn/Briggs can’t be best 22 though right? Two at most will play together. Are you thinking Flynn goes or just not rating Preuss?

no where near old enough

Flynn is likely to be a regular starter as forward/ruck with Briggs or Preuss playing main ruck .... Brigs still very young so maybe he is back up but pretty even

Also think it’s underrated how bad the GWS run with injuries was.

Still think you guys have been a huge success. Look at GC they are still facing an uphill battle just to be a normal club.
