Apparently Port are interested. Any info on him?

Yes reported on NOVA in perth today(27/9) that this appears to be so. does this mean a swap for Byron??
This is going to come back to bite us on the butt...
Urge to kill.....rising.....rising...... 
. Will not be happy if they trade him.

He's not gonna get a game as long as CC is coach, so we may as well trade him and get something useful out of it. Its only fair for both him and the club.

Gilmore for Byron could honestly be a very good trade for both sides.
Byron's probably got another 3 years in him, as do Bell, Cook, Farmer, M. Carr, Schofield and Parker (only 1-2), and Byron would add a lot of hardness to the team while not giving another slow inside player.
As for Port, they're not going to be challenging for a premiership while Byron is still around, so getting a talented young midfielder is a good deal for them.
Gilmore's pretty much not going to get a chance for Freo anyway...

God help us if Schofield has another 3 years in him
Don't be swayed by all the hype about Gilmour. Regular South Freo watchers have been saying he shirks contests on a regular basis, and they have been saying that from before he was drafted. CC has said he has to get better at playing contested footy and when he does that he will get a game.
Not that I want to see Gilmour leave but if Port want him enough I reckon they can have him. We have plenty of HBF/Winger types.

22 years old, 6'3", kicks both feet, excellent mark, athletic....
So the coaching staff have to put a bit of work into him, I actually thought that that was their job. Perhaps I'm wrong.
Pickett isn't going to advance the club. Are we going back to that drafting of older players with limited value just to get a few short term results on the board. I hope not.

If Gilmore is retained on the list then the Club would see him as a chance to play, and have faith that his weak areas can be improved.
As well as shirking contests the other thing that has been reported is that he is VERY one sided, so surprised to hear that he can kick both sides. I also have see reports that the problem is also between the WAFL Club and the Dockers, in that the WAFL Club seem to want him to be a rebounding ,unaccountable defender, whereas Dockers think that is feeding his weeknesses.
He seems to me to be someone who could find a role in the team, but possibly not as a backman. Maybe as a tall, running wingman, or in the forward line.

Yeah he plays as a sweeper if you like in defence
Watched the GF, he was nowhere to be seen in the first 3 quarters but started to get lots of possesions when the sting was out of the game
I am also surprised that we havent played him as an outside midfielder

He'd have to contend with Black and Headland for the starting possie. Would struggle to even get on the bench as a back up due to the recent good form of Peake and Crowley.pinkus maximus said:
He was supposed to be doing that this season...theGav56 said:
I'm sure he could be a decent AFL player, but I'm more inclined to think that he's worth more to us as a trade than as a permanent WAFL player.
Pigeon holed by Match comm end of story.
If he stays at FFC will only be adepth player- lucky to get 4- 6 games in 2006 depending on injuries.

Not picking on you 'vinne' just using you post as an example.
How come the rest of the world sees any swap from Fremantle for picket as being a win/win.
Sure Byron has played heaps of finals footy, played in a winning GF team and won a Norm Smith. He has been to the top of the mountain.
Fremantle would become a retirement home for him. ' Just topping up the super' so to speak.
We need young hungry players not ageing champions.

One sided (L), goes out of his way to get on to his left side and as such is very predictable, goes out of his way to avoid body contact and always has. They are the very reasons that he missed out on selection for U18's.
The coaching staff can't do the impossible.

They are just trying to put you off. He would be an excellent trade to get young Surjen home.
Didn't know that , I was just remembering daslers outrage.

I'm amazed at some comments. I have watched Gilly play many times for South Freo. He is a left footer and has an excellent kick, but he is also a good kick on his right.
Does Judd use his left at all? does he get criticised for wanting to use his right.
Does Tredrae use his left? Hird? Pavlich?
So why the wailing when Gilly goes left. He would be better on his other peg than any of the above.
Gilly has played with South as a tall, attacking and running wingman.
Freo want him to be an instant defender.
Maybe South just use him better.

I'm sure you'll see why i rate Surjan so highly next season Ripper.RIPPER_46 said:
On another tangent, Gilmore would be a brownlow medallist if he would put his body on the line and use his right foot.
