List Mgmt. 2017 Trade & FA Targets Part 1

[Loading]

First of all anyone on here who thinks we'd only part with one of our 2 picks for him are delusional. Secondly, don't be surprised if Freo aren't against receiving 2 potentially top 10 picks during this stage of their rebuild, and therefore may not want to offer Fyfe the bucket loads he's being offered from us.

 

[George]

Are you serious? It's Nat ******* Fyfe! Throw the chequebook at him. Besides, we have a ton left in the cap, who else are we going to use it on???

Martin Kelly Shiel Hopper and Whitfield obviously.

 

[George]

You are very ignorant if you think freo will just let him walk as a FA. Top 3 player in the comp, and is a 'restricted' free agent who will net far more via a trade than the any compensation we might get.

I also call bullshit. This same thing happened last year with us where lachie neale was a sure thing to be going to adelaide and how did that work out in the end. Fyfe is captain of our club and has always stated freo is where he wants to be. So dont go getting too excited over anything fitzy has to say on a radio show.

Mate Fitzy is one of the most respected media personalities in the country. Don't you dare slag him off.

 

[Rors]

Martin Kelly Shiel Hopper and Whitfield obviously.

Shiel re-signed already

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Why are offering such a high amount, without seeing how his leg holds up for the year? You'd think you want something more concrete in the back half of the year.

Answer:
Because we wan't an offer that Fremantle don't want to match, so we don't have to cough up our hard earned draft picks.

Some people here drive me nuts because they continue to have the attitude, "oh we have an extra pick, we can add that to a trade ". Worse than my wife with a credit card.

I'm a tightass, i want both.

But.....
If we play this game we need to allow that Fremantle MAY match, and in that case we should let them. Otherwise its all bluff, and they may play it.

 

[George]

Shiel re-signed already

When I take the piss in the future I think I'll need to make it more obvious. Lol.

Ross Lyon never hold players who want to walk. If he's as good as signed they really have no option other than take what the get as compo. You guys won't pay 1.5 million for guy who wants out, that would be like burning your house down because you don't want anyone else to have it.

Martin Kelly Shiel Hopper and Whitfield obviously.

Of them only Kelly, Hopper and Whitfield are a chance to leave, Kelly will go to North and who knows who the other 2 will choose. Either way, Fyfe is worth more than them combined.

Short memories.

And Shiel has resigned anyway.

That line is nothing short of epic truth

 

[burningdwarf]

This feels a little bit like when we'd agreed on a trade for him for about 15 minutes during last trade period.

Calling bs on this as well.

Kicks your leg under the table, "pssst, Luke Ball "

 

[George]

Fyfe's management have come out and denied the claims.

The plot thickens...

 

[BrianSpeaking]

Whether it happens or not, this is so good for our brand it's not funny. As far as Freo matching or not, who cares, I'd say unlikely knowing Ross.

 

[AFLOnline]

When the best player in the comp asks to come to your club, you don't **** around - you ask him how much do you want.

I was taking the piss, saying we'd get Fyfe and ALL of those I listed above.

Like I told Rors I probably need to make it more obvious that I'm messing around, lol.

 

[gringo2011]

Or they subterfuge begins. They would be in trouble if they were doing deals while under contract.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Well there's a surprise....his Management have denied the rumor

I was expecting them to say it's true

****ing hell I'm nearly over this already and we are ten mins into a rumor from a plonker on WA radio

 

[AFLOnline]

Disagree.

Ross adores his stars, no way he would have ever let Lenny or Roo leave without a fight. He had serious man-love for them and probably the same for Nat.

So if it was Jack Steven leaving us as a FA you'd be happy with letting him walk for one top 10 pick when you could just as easily match the bid and trade him for 2 top 10 picks?
Freo will match any bid for Fyfe and then just trade him if it ever came to that.

 

[StCicatriz]

I wish had blokes 'down on form' who were still getting numbers like these....

View attachment 365084

Only bad game he's had was 2 nights ago

yeap he's a gun!!!!!! but he's not looking the same as he did in 2015

worth remembering his leg still wasnt right in 2016

George was being facetious I reckon

I've never heard of Fitzy but as far as I'm concerned the man has a flawless track record in AFL rumours.

He's no Tony Sheahan that's for sure.

All it is is matching the deal and then forcing the trade, very similar to dangerfield. Doesnt restrict fyfe leaving but restircts st kilda from takin him for nothing.

 

[gringo2011]

They are on the slide though, Ross will probably be at Gold Coast next year and burn the place down and leave them with **** all of a list. We might give them the later of our 2 first rounders as a good will gesture for Weller if they are nice and let Fyfe come with out any drama.
