PSD/Rookie Draft

[HBF]

Utterly no doubt.

Chasing a flag for sure.
Just not sure his body is up for another season of footy.

If he goes and gets his footy outside 50...........no impact, racking up stats.

Totally limited as a footballer nowadays.

Why bother.

Exactly.
And with no other key forwards at Freo he'll still get the best defender. Could be one of the big stories of 2016.

Wood won't survive many years more and the Yank is a gamble. 2 years from now neither might be there.

Whether it's Harry or Gach, we can squeeze a teen prospect onto the list.

Wood is good LTI backup in case one of Phillips or (touch wood... not that way you perves) Kreuzer breaks down next year.

I really don't see him being at the club past the end of his current contract in 2016.

Wood has been handy, the guy knows his limitations.

 

[De Iulio2Wiggins]

Freo's window has shut, can't kick more than 10 goals against anyone (but us)

 

[btemplar88]

Gorringe from gold coast is available. Former pick 10. Anyone?

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Gorringe is a lemon.

Gorringe is the new blue!

Thats always a good thing to know when playing professional sports.

It's the guys who think that they are superstars when they aren't that shit me up the wall.

Knows his limitations.
Not a long term solution but he does his job.

 

[The Bighouse]

No need for Gorringe with Kreuzer, Phillips and Wood all ahead of him.

If we're thinking big I'd much rather we look at Daw. Worth a rookie pick at least I'd have thought.

Think he could be a backup ruck (break glass in case of emergency) but I thought they were trying to make him a big bodied, mobile, tall midfielder. Obviously didn't work out for him after the Port trade debacle last trade period.

Can't fault his efforts, and he has good endeavour when playing. Serviceable when called upon, a good mature rookie ruck really.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Id go Gorringe, not a lot else out there. Except 4 rucks on the team would be a bit much

Would have been perfect if we didnt get Phillips though

 

[BlueWoof_#39]

whitecross would be handy, I would be happy with that. Jacob Ballard from fremantle could be a good rookie for us too, reluctantly let go by the dockers but couldn't crack their strong midfield which is understandable. He won peels b&f this year and it's been noted he has great leadership qualities which fits the bill nicely. However, I am only going off what I read on the afl website

Ballard is the type of player we should be going after. Still has some development in him at 21 and has performed well in vfl and wafl footy. Big bodied mid, great endurance, skills are ok but would add to our depth and I rate him higher than someone like whiley...gorringe would've been good if we didn't get Phillips but we must go someone closer to 21yo who has been squeezed out of a top team and ensure plenty of all round development left in them.

Dogs should swoop on Gorringe

Delisted free agency has basically made the psd redundant.

Its only useful where the club still sees value in a player, but the player wants out and a trade cant be arranged.

This is why i'd prefer to take a kid.

Agree, but how often does that happen these days.

Gorringe! Wants more PT. Previous attempted trade to PA fell over. Mutual agreement to delist I would say. Reckon someone will snag him as a DFA though. The two systems appear to run parallel. Maybe the DFA system should holt at the start of trade period. Everyone delisted after that needs to go into the PSD/rookie draft.

If your club chops you, why shouldn't you get to choose where you go, assuming there are multiple suitors?

The PSD is pretty irrelevant now. I think they should scrap it, and the rookie draft.
No rookie lists, but players taken after say round 4 only get a 1 year contract as standard.
Players who would have gone PSD can name their price, but have to go in the draft proper. And if they're not taken in say the first 4 rounds, their price is reduced to standard draft contract.

I think this would be a better and fairer system.

worth consideration. more a fwd that can ruck. very mobile. may just need time and right environment. could suit bolton's mobile side

 

[De Iulio2Wiggins]

Any interest in Saad? Would have to be an upgrade on Tutt.

 

[Dominator_7]

Isn't that the role that Sumner and Lamb were brought in to do ?
