Free Agency Matt Flynn [Joins West Coast as UFA]

[The Nostradamus]

Lot of talk about TDK as an out of contract ruck but there could be much better value here with Flynn 25 years old out of contract unrestricted free agent

No trade capital required and one to watch at gws having a pretty decent year

Very hard to judge his worth, has got the no 1 ruck spot through injuries to others. Stats look good, but I haven’t really watched much of him. Surely Port are looking at the free agent market with our lack of picks. Not sure if how much of an upgrade on our average rucks.

Would be very keen given our ruck issues but i reckon he stays at gws.

Un restricted ... Free.... Agent? Why?

Certainly be worth talking to him

8 years on the list not top 25 % wages

 

[Here we go dogs]

Has has a very injury interrupted career, but has always looked like a talent.

Good forward as well so could be better second ruck than first.

 

[Ash1337]

Will highly pursued I think because there's 6 teams at least that will be looking into bolstering their rucks.

That and rucks 25+ only sorta start to come into their prime.

Could be a good get for anyone if he leaves.

 

[Julia#13]

I would hope port are seriously looking at him. Is a better option than lycett, Hayes or teakle and allows us to keep developing visentini and most likely draft a project

8 years and 30 odd games .. a little surprising he has been on their list for 8 years . Who knows ..maybe he is aboyt to hit his best year between 25 and 30

Like a lot of rucks they tend to mature later in their mid 20s.

True... but does he want to move. Probably happy at GWS if he is getting games?

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Trading TDK out for a pick 15-30 and getting this guy in for free would be a win. He’s a massive lad and has looked good at AFL level imo.

He was understudy to Mumford for 3 years then did his ACL when very close to debut. The next year was the QLD Covid season with no reserves football so he didn't have much chance of getting back to where he was.

Dropped this week for Briggs

Biggs looks pretty handy ....

 

[Orange Agent]

Biggs looks pretty handy ....

Agreed, to me he has always looked a better prospect than Flynn and he can go fwd. Just a touch undersized against the taller rucks. Flynn isn't really coming on in leaps and bounds, he may have already reached the end of his development phase which is not quite AFL level.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Biggs looks pretty handy ....

Looks good for sure

I think Flynn will be part of the annual ruck merry go round

 

[My Tilly]

Flynn is an interesting one. He won't ever become an elite ruckman but he does have the overall traits to make it as the no.1
Should be a few clubs interested at seasons end.
Would love him at Geelong. A significant upgrade over Stanley, for sure.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Can see saints asking the question

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Would be keen.

 

[Turbocat]

Right age. Right experience . Right cost. Primed for a heavy pocket.

Would happily take him on a reasonable 3 year deal.
