Who is the "big fish" that GWS have landed?

[Hobgoblin]

it is Taite Silverlock

See Naitawhoey isn't the only one who can make random crap up.

 

[Viney]

Have been told with 100% certainity that it is infact Colin Sylvia.

Sylvia wanted to stay with the Demons but at the end of the day both him and the club were very very far apart in terms. Sylvia wanted in excess of 500k to stay whereas the Demons were only making him offers maxing out at 325k a year. GWS was approached by Sylvias agent about a month ago and were told "Match these terms and he is yours". GWS did a slight bit of negotiation in terms of length of the deal but they accepted monetary terms and he has signed on the dotted line. Sylvia wants to do a Phil Davis and make a imminent announcement of his intentions to leave the Demons (without confirming club this time) but Lyon put a halt to that last week.

At this stage it seems Sylvia will announce his intentions to leave the Demons without naming a club with a trade organised come trade week for his signature by GWS.

Wow huge backflips in the space of a couple of days then

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

From what I gathered he is going to earn 500-600k at GWS.

How does that compare with the deal Taylor Walker signed with GWS?

 

[Naitawhoey]

"Yeah, I definitely wanted to stay with the Dees," Sylvia told afl.com.au.

"It was a big challenge for me personally [getting dropped]," Sylvia said.

"It hit me pretty hard to be dropped and I probably didn't expect it but something's got to give when you lose by 186-points, doesn't it?

"Probably didn't expect it to be me but it was and hopefully I can look back and really draw something positive from it and maybe look back and think that was the best thing that could have happened to me.

Yeh all sounds positive. . Actually read the article and not the headline junior

 

[Naitawhoey]

It compares pretty favorably with the deal Nathan Djekurra signed with the Doggies.

Feel free to provide a link to your post breaking that deal, along with the eight or so other deals you claim to have broken.

I'm happy to link to any number of your complete bullshit stories. Seaby to Collingwood, Nicoski to Richmond, Chad Cornes to GWS, Griffin to Sydney...

Here we go:
Nicoski agrees 2-year deal with Richmond
Seaby 100% off to Collingwood (those pesky Sydney rumours were a smokescreen because really...
Jon Griffin is off to Sydney
Jon Griffin is off to Freo or Port (12 months earlier)
Adam Thomson to Essendon all but done

You've got to admire Big Cox/Naitawhoey's persistance. He's fallen off his shetland pony countless times but just keeps climbing back on.

Reminds me of BeeDee's old gameplan. Threw out so many rumour suggestions that by weight of numbers you eventually get one right, then dine out on it forever.

Although I'm pretty sure in Naitawhoey's place, the ones he dines out on are ones that had already been heavily rumoured in the media anyway. He actually tried to pass off Rischitelli to Gold Coast as one of his. Jesus, that one had been floating around footy circles within hours of Vossy failing to trade him to Carlton.

Rich to West Coast on 4 year deal.

I have read the article

To me, it reads he wants to stay and negotiations are on going

No big fish has been landed it is Ed just saying what he has been told by gubby. The truth is gubby has been all talk and so far has delivered no one with a big profile. I'm hearing very strong mail that Scully will be staying at Melbourne as when he was talking to GWS he was told that they had 1 of the big 3 from Collingwood secured yet he hasn't. So next year GWS will be starting with Davis and Palmer ( as ward is staying with dogs) as the big fish and I consider them to be nothing but tadpoles. This is the problem when people over promise and under deliver.

I really hope this is the case. I think any team in the competition should have to build a young team up to be competitive, not have everything given to them. I am fine with having the majority of the draft picks, but ridiculously larger salary caps with the ability to poach uncontracted players stinks. GWS are having a flag bought for them, it will not be earned.

 

[Hawks1523]

Sam Mitchell?

 

[obscura]

Not exactly a big fish but surely they would have Jordan Lisle on their radars, GWS?

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

You would think so, so would a lot of Melbourne clubs to be honest.

 

[liam_13]

St Kilda player, saw a heap of them in Sydney on the weekend

Dangerfield and Hurley have both resigned yes?
Cotchin, Martin, Conca signed up yes?
Nick Dal Santo
Hartlett, Boak, Gray
Jack, McGlynn, O'Keefe
Gibson
Grimes

Bastinac or Goldstein are being targetted, but confident Basti will stay and not so confident about Goldstein. We need to keep McIntosh at all costs.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Grimes is signed up until 2013 iirc.

 

[pazza]

Fevola and Lovett.

Could be quite entertaining.

 

[Super Hans]

It's Mitch Clark.

 

[BEEG]

It's Mitch Clark.

His now out for the year I expect him to be the big fish which is a good player but his no Ablett more on par with Risca or Brennan as a big get

 

[scullman]

What about Sam Fisher? Is he under contract?

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Sheesh. All this thread and noone has nailed it.

I can tell you exactly who the Big Fish is, not that I expect people to beleive, but it's the truth.

The GWS have come to terms with Geelong's STEVE JOHNSON.

No lies. Just wait and see.

 

[Blueboys7]

What about Sam Fisher? Is he under contract?

I get it.

 

[jknothimjustafan]

I think its Paul Salmon.

He's tall, his nickname was "fish" (so putting those together "Big Fish")

Plus he used to play for Essendon coached by Sheedy.

It's obvious really.

 

[Stamos]

Sam Mitchell?

According to SEN, that's who the rumour is about.
As to wether the rumour is correct or not, who knows.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Callan Ward if Damien Barratt is to be believed.
