Operation: Harry Taylor

[Goldfish]

is this matthew stokes you refering to? he wil be free agent come end of this year.. so he is all yours if you can satisfy his demands.

off topic, is there some competition between eagles supporters on brad scott avators, cause i find some of them quite amusing

There was prior to the game last week, bit of a rocky relationship between North and WC over recent seasons, however it was mostly taken in good humour. I'd say 90% of the avatars were changed in the lead up to the North game.

Most are making their way back to older avatars now that we are approaching round 9.

Harry Taylor had a great game for the cats today, apparently - BOG.

 

[Retali8]

yes HT was BOG ,.,, wow, we need him,, but if he was playing in our team there would be alot of creaming being done, him or o'meara anyway,, preferably a mid-field-elite...

 

[pantskyle]

He would be mad not to re-sign.

 

[mulehoops]

Strong talk Fremantle are going to make a huge play for Harry. Bar Wellers why is it whenever a player is linked to go to W.A its always to Freo?

 

[kranky al]

Geelong fans had a big banner in the stands with "don't stray to wa Harry". Or suchlike

Please can we keep him dad? Can we? Pleasepleaseplease? I promise to look after him!!!

Because Fremantle have long been known for giving ridiculous deals to other clubs to get the players that they want.

 

[Boohemian]

Harry Taylor - DO NOT WANT

Harry Taylor - DO NOT WANT

He is pretty awesome. As long as we dont have to give much for him. Would rather youth though if it was between harry and a 1st rounder.

Or coaches they want... coaches that are already in a job...

 

[squashface]

Would rather a quality midfielder. We already have an awesome CHB in E-Mac.

 

[Spooky17]

Would prefer Jetta

 

[Steven Tyler]

G'day guys
Footy Classified last night mentioned Freo VERY confident of getting Taylor

Good

We arent contending for a premiership so we dont need him

3 way trade Mitch Brown to Geebung, HT to Freo, younger Freo midfielder to WC? Swap of 2nd round round picks as well if needed (e.g. Freo 2nd round to Geelong for their 2nd round which will be higher).

We will take Nat Fyfe off your hands?

2nd most important player on our list after McPharlin so not likely.

Was thinking more along the lines of Suban/Deboer/Neale/Sheridan/Crozier/Mzungu types - losing one of these guys would be painful and also you need to balance their age versus the older HT for years of service. But you have to give something to get something and in general we have the depth coming up to cover for them next year. Obviously the club would decide - I am not putting forward crabs like Chricton and a guy like Viv Mitchie we really rate but we would not get value for because he has not played AFL yet due to injury - so we are best hanging onto him.

Problem is we've got plenty of B grade midfielders, but we need A graders, which freo aren't going to part with. Neale/sheridan/michie etc. have the potential to be good players, but can't see them being elite. We're probably better going to the draft and hoping for a fluke A grader.

So you gain Harry Taylor for a young mid, your suggestions being...

Suban/Deboer/Neale/Sheridan/Crozier/Mzungu

...cheers for the laugh.

You will still have your draft picks though - you would be effectively trading Mitch Brown for a mid off Freo's list. Unless of course you want to get a draft pick for brown in a trade.

No we would net gain HT for a mid and a 2nd round pick.

Doesn't really matter if Geelong are not that keen on Mitch Brown then we deal them direct anyway for a mid to replace guys like Chapman.

Do you really imagine Geelong would be willing to trade Taylor for a choice of Suban/DeBoer/Neale/Sheridan/Crozier or Mzunga?? Good luck with convincing them to do that!

Yeah i realise that, but if Mitch Brown is going to leave i'd rather trade him for a pick/pick upgrade, not a B grader from freo.

 

[Marlin01]

If Brown was I tent on leaving, I'd take DeBoer for him in a heartbeat. Lose a peaheart who can't play with a chipped nail and gain a lion heart.

Would be fun to watch him and scott selwood try to play kick to kick at least.
