Cal Twomey saying the Giants would be open to conversations on Lachie Whitfield and Nick Haynes. He's probably on huge money, but I would love Whitfield on a wing for us, would be a huge get. Maybe can give back better draft capital for GWS to pay a little of the salary if it's too rich for us, but should have some cap space with Dunks going...

While Haynes is a great player, I can't help but feel like he's going to drop off a cliff the instant his athleticism fades. Same thing happened to Wood. Would be doing our due diligence on a physical though

 

[Hobdog]

Bit late to the Power interview but seems to me that unless players are involved it’ll be pretty difficult to get a deal done for Dunks.

[doggies ftw]

Would be alllllll over Whitfield, he’s on stupid money I believe though so GWS would have to stump up a lot of it

 

[DognBones]

Will Ashcroft has already signed for 4 years. Obviously he's going to Brisbane and was never going elsewhere but hope we squeeze these pricks a bit

That's fine. As long as they pay the 3000 pts required to get him. Also forces them to dig deep in terms of draft picks and player trade-offs to get Dunkley.

2400*

Come on Power, don’t let him get to the Dees

 

[Royale]

if lobb doesn't happen then an English - Grundy pairing would be mega.

Having said that, if pies pay part of his salary we'd still be up for 700k per year until the end of 2027.

He's going to

 

[dergert]

Schache's manager reckons we'll hold on to him if we don't get Lobb. Also said that Power is confident we will get Lobb. I think I heard the last part right

 

[Chalky White]

Agreed. But crouch is a natural at winning the ball in a pack and dishing it out to the class kicks. Bailey smith would lick his lips (I’ll get my hat…)

Yep our class kicks. Smith, Libba, Macrae, Hunter, Gardy, Naughton, West, McComb we have so many fine "purveyors of meat" it's not funny.

It'll get done when all of a sudden they need an extra 2nd rounder for the Jackson deal

Nah we'll pay pick 12 remember

Macrae and Libba are elite kicks. The rest bar maybe Hunter are still all better kicks than Crouch anyway

With Cordy's departure, I'd be comfortable keeping Josh on a bargain basement contract. Just the added little bit of depth at either end of the ground if needed.

 

[Foxman98]

Well hey how are they going to find a Rory clone at 29

Even their mod Taylor thinks it should be as close to top 10 as possible.

She's genuinely serious.

 

[Al dente]

yes please for Whitfield, smart player, good user, exactly what we need.

People talking about Cordy's development or lack there of. Unfortunately, the Cordys have a genetic trait to peak athletically at 17, and then to decline steadily as they age and gain weight. Weve seen it twice now. They are the Benjamin Buttons of 17-30yo elite athletes.

I was driving but didn’t hear it quite like that. Said keeping Schache not necessarily linked to Lobb. Few clubs have enquired about Schache but only as a DFA. I didn’t hear the bit about being confident on Lobb.

She’s terrible when it comes to trades though. Absolutely clueless.

Yeah I mustve heard it all wrong then haha

Macrae is an elite 20 metre kick. He is not an elite kick.
Put him in front of goal and he is awful.
Libba agree is a good kick, not elite

 

[Doggy]

Amusing all the same.

She's not alone

My understanding is Freo want late first to early second.

Which is overpaying and we also font have one

 

[Northernsoul74]

I find Whitfield overrated.

Haynes, a yes.

Agree Whitfield is overrated but still a very good player. Hayes was showing signs that the cliff has come.
I want Callaghan.

 

[Foxman98]

Who kicked the goal to put us back in front late in the 2016 Prelim?

Whitfield will be owed about $5 million and is contracted until the end of 2027!

Good luck getting anyone to take that on.
