Mega Thread Free Agent and Trade Talk

[richmond_14]

That was last week for FA. Yesterday it started around 10am.

3pm again today.

Yet it appears many are happy to conside Mike Pyke??? I would have thought chalk n cheese in terms of footy skills n smarts. Dawes was under a heap of pressure this year when he and Cloke both went off the boil but with us as a 3rd tall who can pinch hit in the ruck I thought he could be quite an asset. Good insurance for TV also.

I'd much prefer to go into next season with Jack and Vickery, even Griffiths and Astbury floating through - than over paying for a big, slow fat arsed and over rated bloke who's had 1 good year... and even then, it was just good.

The last 5 days or so it goes for the whole day when shit might actually happen.

Also, anyone seen that GC want TWO first rounders for Caddy? Hellooooo, PSD.

Yeah, see about 8 posts ago

Statistically (in particular goals, marks, disposals), Dawes has not had a single better year than Vickery had in 2011... just to give some perspective. Make of it what you will

I can see Dawes is poo without making anything of his stats.

Lol just saw your post got distracted when I got half way down that page and saw ****ing Dawes!!!

Haha, sorry only first part of that post was directed at you

But point taken

Jesse White to play for a South Australian team next year.

A pic of a plane ticket to Adelaide went up on twitter, and was taken down 5 mins later. Hardly conclusive, but I would think a pretty strong indicator.

Part of the KT deal? Or Port desperate to actually field a team next year?

Maybe playing the SANFL?

According to Football Nation, Gysberts could head to Geelong for a 3rd rounder. I'd trump that with ours quite happily.

 

[richmond_14]

I don't want to pick up any of Melbourne's players. Shit culture down there. Don't need them coming here and infecting ours.

Tigers are talking to Jarryd Moore from Swans.

Not sure I suggested over paying. Sadly neither Griff nor Astbury can pinch hit in the ruck which is my primary interest. Another year like last year with either TV or Ivan injured and the other running out of steam would be disappointing. The ruck stocks on offer seem pretty bloody thin to me so we need to be a little creative if we want insurance and I certainly dont think Dawes is the worst option out there but hey you are welcome to your opinion also and I am open to better suggestions.

IMO Dawes can't pinch hit either. He's like chucking McGuane in there and then it also screws up his forward work by being thrown all over the place.

So after all the talk we're not really going to do much.

Yeah you didn't suggest it, but if we were to get him - given Melbourne's interest - we'd have to pay overs I think... I know what your saying about Maric, and it is a real concern. But I think Dawes proved this year - that he can't pinch hit in the ruck either. In fact having to do that ruined his year IMO... Don't underestimate the impact a fit Vickery will have to our team next season.

What happened to the Ben Jacobs talk? Anyone know where this is going? I would love to see him at the Tigers next season.

Hopefully as a mature aged rookie... could be handy as back up, but not on the main list for me.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Dawes is a key forward who can't mark overhead. Which means he's not a key forward. And he's no good in the ruck.

Yeah Im probably grasping at straws with Dawes but have serious concerns if we lose TV or Ivan next year for any period. Bye bye finals IMHO
