In the very unlikely event we get Fyfe I hope it's as a FA next year and not as a trade this year. We'd have to give too much away to get him

Won't Fremantle just match any offer we make him, end up having to trade for him either way

Give them Priddis as a straight swap. They both have one Brownlow medal, and both played in a losing Grand Final and have shitty hairdos, sounds fair.

Can't see fyfe leaving the purples to stay in Perth
By all reports has shagged most of the chicks here so he will move on the fresh hunting grounds

What would we have to give up for him though is the big question!

 

[KamakazeSalami]

Just about anything would be considered surely. The no deals would be Nic Nat, Lycett, Shuey, Gov and Kenners as far as I'm concerned.

And Barrass, although I'd do Lycett as part of a package if we could get Lobb back as well.

I thought about Barrass, but figure we need a top end mid more than we need two (and one still based mainly on potential) top end backs. Have to give Up something good to get something good and all that stuff. We're not Pies supporters after all.

Lycett because it is just so hard to find better than average rucks and I think we have one in him. Nic Nat is going to be injured more and more and Lycett is developing into a ruck that can bear that responsibility when he has to. That is hard to find.

I've got visions of Gov as our CHF/FF and Barrass as our fullback in 3 years time, that's why I wouldn't trade Barrass.
Don't get me wrong about Lycett, he's on my no-trade list as well, with the caveat that if we were able to get someone as capable as Lobb somehow then Lycett becomes expendable.
Agree we have to give up something to get something back. Looking over our list I think the only players who have enough value around the league that we could afford to give up are Darling and Gaff.

I know you've got a bit of the Gov to fwd50 love so I get your no to Barrass point, and its a fair one.

I'm probably less enamoured with it because I just think we have approx 2 years Max to make use of Nic Nat and JKs eliteness. So we need to get contending now. Gov gives us an elite KPD and we just need that top end mid to put us in the ball park. I guess I also like Lycett because he can be a pretty useful fwd too. Which makes the need for Gov up fwd less of a factor.

You're spot on about Darling and Gaff being the only guys really with any currency. I do think that Barrass may too. At the very least he'd get a few clubs to the table. He really has showed some great signs for a < 10 gamer.

I'm sure he does, I just meant that they're the only guys with currency that I'd be willing to trade. The rest are either crap or I want to keep them.
I do see your point on only having a couple of year window, I just think that Barrass will turn out to be that good, that trading him would be a massive mistake.

Could you live with losing him if it meant we could win a flag (or two) in the next couple of years?

That's sort of the opportunity/cost crux of a deal that involves either him or Gov isn't it. Honestly, I think I'd be ok with it.

Sure, I'd trade anyone on the team if it meant we would win a flag

Wonder how long it's been since the bookies have had Freo at $8 at home.

$8.50 actually!

Collingwood are horrible. Can't believe we found a way to lose to them.

They'll play a good game every few weeks

We caught them on one of their good days as did GWS

Bulldogs aren't exactly blowing them off the park here either

Gee.

Pies are up to their eyeballs in this!

Collingwood were tripe when we played them, we just happened to play worse.

 

[ep2018]

Hopefully the dogs lose tonight because I cant see them losing either of their last two.

Leaves the door ever so ajar for a home final, and our only way of progressing past week 1.

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Cmon pies. God I feel dirty.

Anyone read my post in the changes thread? We are one team with a target on our backs and the likes of the Pies get up for those games to test themselves. Then they drink their own bathwater and think theyll piss it in over the Tigers and co.

Melb and Carlton have done it as well this year and not just to us.

If we had any confidence and arrogance we would go in knowing this and bury these teams.

turning into a good game this. I wish we had someone in our midfield who could handball like Bontempelli. Ansolute gun with his hands.

Caleb Daniel has such good vision. Very rarely wastes the footy
