Thomas Head

[salim malik]

Head is over from NSW and training with the main group
Big strong lad and looks a great KPP prospect size ways
Moves well and hope he can back up his size with skills.

 

[Dockernut]

Great news, cheers Salim.

 

[jmadrox]

great. i have always liked head.

 

[JunglistPosse]

Cheers Salim. Had to second glance at the title for a moment, thought it was Josh making a comeback

 

[yakamoto]

I thought Josh played pretty well on Monday.

Are both Moller and Head available to be picked this year cos I think Moller is 17 this year and Head is 18 this year.

That would be nice options. Pick up some high potential/quality mids with our early picks in the "superdraft" and save our late picks for Moller and Head.

Only question then is who gets delisted to make way?

 

[chinggis77]

Don´t think Head has shown enough to be drafted. Maybe Sheeds can offer us Cameron in exchange so they get a NSW kid on their list.

 

[Nickos66]

From the vague notes people have dropped re: his game he sounds like a rookie pick, but give him a go, who knows?

 

[holy diver]

FFC has a dicey history with head.

 

[yakka man]

Thanks for the update Sailim. His bio last year showed him at 195cm/89kg's so he is a good size. Hopefully has the ability to match.

Walters,Crowley,van berlo and McPhee are all potential candidates IMO.

 

[yakka man]

Depending on contract situations you could add Crichton and Faulks. Grover is highly likely to retire also.

 

[Palmervich]

Disappointing if Craig Moller isn't also over here training!

 

[tofushark]

They can also go straight onto the rookie list if they agree.

I read somewhere that he trained with GWS this pre-season (Freo sanctioned)

 

[yakka man]

He's with GWS and that is only going to aid his development IMO.

I would think if infact he is coming to Fremantle next year, that a week or two over here would be far more benificial to his development, then missing one Reserves grade game, where they are likely to be uncompetitive anyway.

 

[yakka man]

Well i don't know the reason why. Maybe it is a non issue for the club, maybe they don't want to pay for the airfare.

If they are willing to pay for Thomas Head to come over, I'm sure we would be more than happy to pay for Moller to come over. Don't think anyone knows whats going on apart from probibly the board and Moller, and perhaps GWS, and realisticly, at this stage, thats all that really have to know. Dosen't stop us trying to read into it all though.

I was joking regarding the airfare, should of put an emoticon next to the statement. Maybe they are still undecided on drafting Head and that's why they wanted another look at him.

 

[Freo Shark]

If either of Moller and Head are any good they'll be playing for GWS as soon as they're eligible.

 

[chinggis77]

I reckon a deal has been done on Moller.

Freo to get some GWS kid or a pick in the draft/mini draft in exchange. GWS need local content. AFL will make it happen.

Top 10 pick in exchange? We pick up Mason Shaw.
Mini Draft pick in exchange? Jack Martin or Jesse Hogan
Craig Moller for a homesick WA boy? Coniglio yes but unlikely. We need talls anyway.

 

[yakka man]

^^^^^^ dreaming. Would be ecstatic if that occurred. We will most likely get stiffed in some way.

 

[Harry Reems]

I wondered who the mysterious number 45 was at training on Tuesday.

 

[tacopavlich]

Our club seems confident about not getting short changed with Moller, so I don't think it's a real concern.
