You would say 2 late 1st rd picks if Gibbs was anything to go by...What would Brad Crouch be worth to move from Adelaide ..?
My two cents on that (for what its worth).Heard Peter Bell ( Freo football mgr) on the radio tonight - they asked him directly - the 2 Hills for Kelly
He said Stephen - free agent - but hes just trying to get hamstring right and just play senior football again - thats his focus
Brad is contracted for another 2 years after this season
Said both are popular - highly respected around the place - and will be both playing many more years at Fremantle - listening to him they are going nowhere - not that i want either at Geel
Re Tim Kelly - he said Munday is 34 - so obviously interested - said Kelly had a fine 1st season at Geel - alot were wondering whether he could back it up - which he has - but we respect that he is a Geel player at present
Gibbs will be put aside.. I doubt that someone does that deal again for a player that age...You would say 2 late 1st rd picks if Gibbs was anything to go by...
I mentioned a while back that Josh Bruce would be a good option for us in the short term. His game on the weekend just confirmed it for me. Getting someone like Bruce in will allow Krueger more time to develop and hone his skills in the VFL. He's kicked 24 goals this year and has kicked bags of 50, 38 and 36 in other years. I'm not sure of his contract status or what the Saints would want for him but it's worth asking the question.
It's likely the Saints will have a new coach next year and Bruce may want to explore opportunities elsewhere and the Saints may want to load up on picks. I think he'd be a great short term solution given where we're currently at.
Now THAT would be a deal worth looking at..
Club will not give him a game so pick 100 will get deal doneHi guys
Whats Wylie Buzza worth? What's holding him back from taking the next step to be a consistent big time player?
Agree Gibbs broke the mould, not sure we could get Crouch unless he had a major falling out with the club...Gibbs will be put aside.. I doubt that someone does that deal again for a player that age...
My two cents on that (for what its worth).
Bell used the same language as with Neale last year and as has been said on the Freo board, Brad will only be traded if we get the deal we like (ie Neale and Weller). We all know the overs we got for Weller and Neale was allowed to make it easier for the Hogan trade. Pretty sure Bhilly is gone sometime in the next few years but he's too valuable to us with a 2 year contract to go for anything other than overs. Whether you're the club that pays overs for Hill or not doesnt really matter, I'm sure we'll be happy to send the picks straight to you if Wells would prefer, as long as we arent paying much to upgrade Hill to Kelly as then Hill stays with us.
Think Stephen will re-sign (its a non-point as a trade anyway as a FA). Him and BHill changed management to Colin Young in the year who does ALL negotiations through the media.
Finally, you appear to be the only side standing between WC and another premiership, please take pity on us suffering Dockers fans and stop the back-to-back, its hard enough over here as it is.
Go Catters =)
I wish had some inside word. Would be nice to annouce SOMEONE was signing. S Hill, Blakely, Tucker or Langdon. One re-signing would be nice.I can only tell you if we get to a GF against WC.. we will be doing our best not to give them #3 against us in the big one...
Any word on Tucker is he going to sign..?

Only seems to bad rumors for our uncontracted (and contracted) players at the moment.
Oh man I'm excited to see this kid play next year. He is exactly what we, Walters mk 2 and he's a ripper off the field as well. Started an indigenous tie business with a couple of school mates. They look terrific as well. To your actual question...What do you expect to be the cost of Henry..looks a ripper ..

General rule seems to be that clubs dont bid on FS/NGA kids for proper value, more just to keep clubs honest and with how even that 10-30 range I expect he'll fall to the 2nd round. I think we'd want our first pick above 14/15 to be safe.
Ablett maybe, but Hawkins is contracted for next season & Selwood contracted through to 2021 - can't see either off them calling time on their careers when they still have years on their contracts, and not sure the club would encourage it either due to the impact on the salary capIn my ponderous state of ponder land if we did manage to win the premiership would J Selwood Hawkins and Ablett retire on top?
Still think if we want a small forward that can mark and kick goals, then Sam Lowson from the VFL... we could use a rookie pick, and with one pre-season could be ready made. Then we can use the top picks for the best midfielder, key position prospect (defence or forward), and potentially a ruck in development.
Could very well be the case. But then again, Miers is Elite for distances covered on match day. He may not need to be at the level, but needs to be at a certain level for AFL footy, whether he is there or not, can't say.Why was he over looked in the mid year? Ive heard one critic talking about his inability to run like a Miers for example ...
How about Luke Smith from our VFL team? Kicked 70 odd goals in Goulburn Valley Football League. If we played him fully in the forward line he would be goodStill think if we want a small forward that can mark and kick goals, then Sam Lowson from the VFL... we could use a rookie pick, and with one pre-season could be ready made.

I would say pick 6 and lachie henderson for pick 2Trade Kelly to Freo for pick 6 and next years first.
Package pick 6, pick 18 and Buzza to Gold Coast for pick 2 and select Anderson.
Gold Coast may take that If they get their priority pick 1. That would leave them with 1, 6 and 18 in the draft plus Buzza.
Geelong gain Anderson and Freo's 1st selection in 2020 and lose Kelly and Buzza
