Mega Thread 2014 Free Agency and Trade discussion

It was our first and second rounders for Mitchell and Jones, but I said that as a joke No chance Sydney would agree to it.

Agreed, hence the "whatever" comment.

I think we'd want change from Mitchell for P4 or 5, maybe Mitchell and P18 if they win it.

I reckon we could get Dean Towers for very little - I'd like to see us give him a go. Would also love Mitchell of course!

 

[Topkent]

He is SA but Scott Lycett is out of contract at the end of the season
I say lets go for him now because with Natanui there is almost no chance of being the Weagles number 1 ruck in his career

No idea about his contract status, but Callum Sinclair?

I think he is in contract but he is behind Lycett in the pecking order so I dont see why not

Sinclair would cost us heaps less and would be an upgrade on Spencer imo. I wonder if our old mate Hannath from the Dockers would want to come across? He'd be more of a chance to get a game than behind Sandi and Zac Clarke.

They also have Jon Griffin who has fallen down the pecking order as well, Jeepers those WA teams value their ruck divisions

We've inquired about Jake Carlisle apparently.

If that's true than Chip must be goneskiiii.

I wouldn't read too far into it.

 

[Andy_Mac]

I've maintained if chip goes we offer the bombers our compo pick for Carlisle and there end of first round selection.

 

[CTHORANGE]

I don't see why we would want Carlisle, we have enough tall defenders and he isn't much good up forward

Sauce?

 

[Blackas87]

Will Carlisle get banned for 2 years?

Would rather a midfielder of similar or greater quality.

Dylan Shiel and Kristian Jacksh are 2 we should target in a Deal with GWS or else Tommy Mitchell with our first pick

Saw that article in The Age this morning, yeah... http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-ne...bling-for-kristian-jaksch-20140624-zskih.html

If we got Dylan Shiel somehow (I would expect him to stay though) I would absolutely lose the plot. He is a star.

Article? No no that was just my wisdom and foresight

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Shiel is the one I'd throw a bucket at, he's got everything you want - strong, fast, kicks goals from outside 50 and plays mainly inside.

 

[CM Sean]

Shiel would be epic.

 

[Demon 16]

Treloar is their best mid on my opinion (I know he's signed, I'm just commenting).

They have a ridiculous level of midfield depth - when you think our their forward stocks, it's quite scary what we'll be up against in 3 years+ time.

 

[Cannon82]

Treloar (and Ward) are their best, but they're not going to let Shiel go (or Coniglio, Whitfield, Kelly, Smith, etc).

I assume they have to whittle their list down again this year? Having a flick through their list (Footywire)...
Greene - would need to be a good offer, but they might cut their losses on him. Stagnated a bit since the first year and disposal isn't great, but worth discussing.
Tomlinson - like what I've seen, would cost us but is stuck behind some high end talent
Buntine - hasn't played near the level he was expected to
Jaksch - haven't seen much of him, but another one stuck behind a lot of top draft picks
O'Rourke - reckon he'd get a game with us, and hasn't done a lot up there

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Greene - no thanks.

The rest, throw the kitchen sink at.

 

[Cannon82]

Greene - no thanks.

Eh, can see why you'd feel that way, but with a bit more polish he'd be very useful. I'm not sold on whether he'll end up being a solid player and I can see him dropping further and further down the pecking order at GWS as more of their gun picks come good. He's either a work in progress or 2 or 3 years from being delisted.

 

[Topkent]

He can protect our young blokes when they go out on the sauce at 3am
