Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VII

[Lore]

We can't trade our first without bringing another first in.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

Im hardly shocked by now, to be honest

We will get an overs deal, or we keep him. Simple as that really.

Always look for a positive

I hope we trade him but look at it as an opportunity to build the club again, get something for the here and now whilst getting something we can use next year to land Ben King and a free agent.

Build our midfield this year though to make it attractive for a key forward.

 

[JT_the_Man]

I actually thought Joey would stay. I really did.

Orazio was the one I thought more likely.

 

[vast]

I’ll happily take Papley instead of 9 if Raz says he wants out too.

We have bigger needs than small forwards. We still have tippa snelling mozzie. Forget papley take the picks a try adress a bigger need.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

If and its a very long shot because I dont think it will happen. But if we get 5 & 9 and convince Cameron to come to us then we almost end up ahead.

We won’t get Cameron unless something dramatic happens next year.

 

[BuffDog]

Joey D wants to go that’s fine, no player is bigger than the club (and the fact he has barely placed recently slightly dulls the disappointment)

The challenge for the club is now to get the best possible compensation and a KPF

 

[JT_the_Man]

We have bigger needs than small forwards. We still have tippa snelling mozzie. Forget papley take the picks a try adress a bigger need.

Papley is proven though. If we can get our hands on him and an inside mid with 5 I’d be happy.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

Nah I’d want us to get our midfield right. Something that wins the clearances more than not and enables us to trap it in forward line.

Entice a Ben King next year to think he’s the missing piece.

Papley will end up at Blues.

 

[JayJ20]

I’ll happily take Papley instead of 9 if Raz says he wants out too.

I'd rather hit the draft and actually build a midfield in case we crash next year.

 

[DapperJong]

What a ******* dog. Takes a leadership role and shafts the club. fu** him.

Nah, get ****ed.

Blame the club.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Surely we move heaven and earth to land either Jeremey Cameron or another superstar midfielder!

 

[cAsEy_18]

Should be talking to King from Gold Coast every minute we can for the next 12 months.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

I'd rather hit the draft and actually build a midfield in case we crash next year.

West coast won a premiership with the Big Q Lynch at full forward. Swans did it with 1 great forward in Barry Hall.

I agree with you if we make our midfield exciting I think we’ll be more than competitive..

Don’t look at the negatives guys and gals look at the opportunity.

 

[The Donners]

This is a disaster. We literally built a team around this guy.

Yes we did.

 

[BomberTime]

Should be talking to King from Gold Coast every minute we can for the next 12 months.

Get Lloydy talking to him as much as possible.... In a purely mentor role of course....

 

[The Donners]

Do we want to keep him if his mind is elsewhere? He'll probably underperform next year and his value will go down.

Two of our best forwards gone in one off season leaving the likes of Brown, Mckernan and Stewart in our best forward 6.

Time to rebuild

Midfield is more important for us anyhow. Just need a tall bloke that can take a contested mark and kick straight in the forward line really. If we add a duo like Dangerfield/Kelly (obviously gone), Pendlebury/Treloar or Martin/Cotchin and we’ll be potential contenders.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Two top 10 picks (2nd other way) or 5 and Papley then ask Josh Jenkins to sign. 12 months a King or Cameron! Noice.

 

[Xavier Menzies]

We will win this trade period.
We have a plan B

People need to move on.
Expect the unexpected.

Thanks for your services Joe, Jayden, Michael & orazio.

Um.

No.

 

[Milanista28]

Unless we can get elite mature players please go to the draft.

 

[Xavier Menzies]

Um.

No.

Sorry.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Sorry.

Name one source which says Hurley is moving.

Stop spouting bullshit.

 

[Duckworth]

Sorry.

So what's the theory... Dougal to replace Hurley... then... the Forwardline... is Pagan's Paddock because there is no one left in there. Profit!

So, Dodo not mincing words in official Club Statement.
Sydney will be made to pay a heavy price for JD if they want him badly enough....
Leave it to Jackets!

What about key forwards? Papley is one of the things we need.
