Team Captain
Been eally umming and ahhing whether to put this up or not. I'm new to the world of forums, but have loved reading peoples thoughts and occasionally a rumor that is actually true. So I heard this a week or so ago and have sat on it, not wanting to put my cousin (the source) in the deep end. But figuring that I would LOVE hearing this rumor (as i did when he told me) I figured i'll go with it and not actually name him...
So my cousin plays for an AFL team. Is a good player. Apparently Sheeds (through a helper/assistant/whatever you want to call it - 3rd party) is running around the country with a "dream" list of players he wants to take (1 uncontracted player from each team etc) No news there I know, until you actually hear the list. My cousin is on the below list and these names were offered up as a part of the effort to get him to think about going to GWS.
Adelaide, he wants Jonathon Griffen
Brisbane, he wants Ash Mcgrath
Carlton, Joe Anderson (his brother is already there as a 16 year old apparently?)
Collingwood Brad Dick
Essendon, Paddy Ryder
Freo, Michael Johnson
Geelong, Nathan Djerkurra
Hawthorn, wants Buddy and is willing to trade 1st round picks to get him, even if he is still contracted. Also after Cyril as well.
Melbourne, Liam Jurrah
North, Daniel Wells
Port Adelaide, Daniel Motlop
Richmond, Richard Tambling
StKilda, Raph Clarke
Sydney, Adam Goodes - this is where it gets interesting. Throwing the earth at him "whatever it takes" were his words as he is seen as a perfect first captain who sydneysiders will identify with
Western Bulldogs, Jared Harbrow. Are aparently trying everything they can to get him to sign a 1 year deal with the Dogs before the season ends.
Now you don't have to be einstein to realise what makes this wish list unique. They are thinking that marketing wise it;; be gold, and appealing to their players that they can play with their "brothers" every week, with a commitment to taking as many indigenous boys as possible in the future as well. I reckon they think it'll get guys to come to a place not many guys want to go to otherwise locationally) Got to admit it, if he can pull it off, he is a cunning old bastard. Some handy players there! And no don't ask me who my cousin is coz i won't be saying...
