2016 Draft Thread - The Rebuild Begins

[Freeeoo]

English underwhelming for mine, maybe just had an off day? McLuggage is a stand out and should go at #1 which still leaves us with some mouth watering prospects at 3. We MUST get this right.

 

[PowerToThePurpl]

Any full-time stats recorded for the All-Stars game?

 

[Wally Walpamur]

Assuming we get a second rounder for Mayne as compo (#22) and this was going to Hawthorn for B Hill, are were there any players today that would better for us to draft rather than trade the pick?

Bolton by the sounds of it.

 

[FreoBulldog]

Everybody's favourite rumour monger is at it again.

 

[Nickos66]

Lol. Sorry Fyfey, you'll have to sit out 2017.

Wait a minute..

Is that the General Patton who said "a good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week"

Do GWS have pick 31 or West Coast?

 

[Scootyb]

Fyfe at GWS would induce uncontrollable vomiting. That name would have to be Cameron for that deal to be worth considering and even then, he had a shocking prelim final on the big stage

Not sure if the trade rumour is serious but if it was... why would Freo hand over Fyfe for peanuts when GWS wouldn't hand over Cam for overs

 

[MadDocker]

Lol. That's Hackdorns account for sure #crumpetface

AFL would legit be dead to me if that happened. It's lost a lot of shine over the last few years as it is.

 

[simpsonwillo]

GWS have offered Fremantle Patton, picks 7 and 31 for Fyfe and a lower pick, still to be decided. More details to come #AFLTrades #whispers
Is that you Crumpet face?

 

[Superkoops]

Yep - it has been officially confirmed as Crumpets.

So far today he has named official trades (almost 2 weeks in advance of trade week actually starting):
Ballantyne for pick 48
Pick 22 (compo) for McCarthy
Fyfe for Patton, Pick 7 + Pick 31

I guess he has us locked in to trade pick 3 for Brad Hill.

Crumpets you have been on the Kool Aid again son.

Not fancy to trade fyfe out.

 

[apuchar]

Not fancy to trade fyfe out.

Must admit the forward line looks pretty good though hey?
Not sure about the midfield though.
If Freo think he might walk next year, then the above forward line is what we will get out of it, if we decide to move now.

If fyfe go Melbourne or GC i still can relutantly accept, gws stuff them. Fyfe should be in this rebuilding process, even hogan i need to rethink.

 

[Purple Jesus]

lols. Fyfe is freo's next captain and marquee player for the next 10 years. He's not going anywhere.

He might not want to be a part of the rebuilding process, I don't know. If he wants an assurance that he will be playing finals regularly and soon, gws is probably the place for him or maybe he can back us in. That's for him to decide really.

 

[Purple Jesus]

I don't know.

Exactly. The hand-wringing is out of control.

He already mention , some of the younger player will be pressing for leadership group. If he not interested in this rebuilding why said this young crop for peel is exciting.

Fyfe look to the future

I simply showed the teams forwardline if the deal was done, just for interests sake. No hand wringing, to recommendation, no preference.

Now list the midfield without Fyfe.

Yes I saw that. His initial comments seemed to be that he wants to be sure that he will have success. If he sees promise in the next generation coming through that may sway him to stay. Depends on if he is prepared to be a little patient.
