2015 Draft, Trades and Free Agency rumours.

[eth-dog]

So who are the current FA rumoured to be changing clubs?
Danger, S Selwood, Suckling, anyone else??? (These names have come from the trade hypotheticals thread so I didn't make them up)

Obvious one you've missed is Rance. There's definitely noise around Bellchambers and Dempsey at Essendon as well.

Is the general consensus Cats are gonna get S Selwood and Danger as RFAs and push out 1-2 of SJ/Bartel/Kelly?

Or Scooter going somewhere else? Why do people think Scooter will leave Eagles, is it just the pull factor of playing w Joel?

Mail is Scott Selwood will stay at WC.

 

[Ian Dunross]

If I was Cats, would retire SJ or Kelly or even both. Bartel & Enright still offer value.

 

[The Facepainter]

Your first round pick, 200k cash and a protected 2nd round pick in the 2016 draft thanks!

That 200K can be in small unmarked bills in a brown paper bag left in a bin on a walking path in Princess Park

I think Scooter will stay at WCE, he is just stalling to play a few consecutive games uninjured so he can bump up his contract $, he is happy there. If he was to leave he would go to Geelong though IMO. If Geelong were to get several FA's they would keep some of the vets on reduced $ (as most are OOC) and retire 1 or 2 more of them than they otherwise would.

In terms of free agents likely to leave the one I didn't see mentioned is Berger. Him playing as a forward isnt working and I can't see Brisbane paying big $ for a backup ruck, especially if they are likely to get a first or end of first round compo pick. Will be interesting to see where he goes.

And you have an extra 800k in the salary cap. That pays for Coniglio and say, Smith.

GWS are known to lay heavy guilt trips on players and tell them there's no chance of being traded to their preferred team - "it's us or Carlton".

That's why a guy like Shiel, who would love to play for a big Melbourne club, re-signs for a short term when told "we're not trading you to Richmond".

He might well be a free agent next time.

Bigger list number requires a bigger salary cap. Its not rocket science. The conspiracy theories are good value though, keep them coming.

Looks like lots of clubs are trying to sign Robbie Tarrant as a FA. HUN reporting that the lions could offer as much as 500k, can't see us matching that personally but hoping the loyalty card plays some sort of hand given that we've stuck by him whilst he couldn't get out on a park for 3 years.

Would u be loyal to your misses if Miranda Kerr was offering herself to you?

 

[Go Woods]

Triple M just announced now Rance has resigned for 4 years

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Would u be loyal to your misses if Miranda Kerr was offering herself to you?

500k to move state to play with a current bottom 4 side isn't exactly Miranda Kerr. More like a 17 year old model who's telling you she's 21. It's very tempting but there is a catch, better just stick with Ol' reliable.

Lol Brisbane = Miranda Kerr? HAHAHAHA

 

[jasonrampage2010]

Lol Brisbane = Miranda Kerr? HAHAHAHA

Was talking about money u spud

 

[Two Planks]

Lol Brisbane = Miranda Kerr? HAHAHAHA

They played like Miranda Kerr tonight.

Bellchambers.... not sure he can get a game in any AFL team.....

I would think Richmond would chase him. Maric hasnt got much longer and we need a good ruck ASAP. Will be behind Maric in the short term only.

Apparently Aish is tossing up between a couple of Melbourne clubs next year and wont be going back to Adelaide.

I would be happy to jag him but sheesh..he just comes across as a usual top 10 draft pick that could be anything and nothing at this stage...

 

[FreeAgent1]

Second season has been a bust, cant wait for a club to pay way overs

 

[Periphery]

Look at what the Lions got for the players that requested trades in 2013. There is no way anyone is paying overs.

Except for the Lions.

 

[Defacto]

apparently stk have offered a contract to carlisle

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Would be happy to offer 19/20 for Aish (which I think the Lions would take), give him 450k to get him to Princes Park and try and develop a midfield around him and Cripps.

He will be a gun.

 

[DraftGuru_]

He won't go to Carlton.

 

[HARKER]

He won't go to Carlton.

Why not?

Can't see alot of clubs wanting either. Bellchambers maybe because he is a ruckman but his form has been putrid. Dempsey will be 28 at the end of the year and has been average also with off field troubles.

Off field troubles?
