BTW heard a whisper the Dees will be aggressively seeking a big-name forward. Good source. We'll see...

Pavlich. He'd be fairly handy

Anyone know if Pav's out of contract?

to my memory i thought he signed on to freo last year cause i remember a lot of talk of him going to an adelaide team

pavlich is over 23 and consequently not suitable for our young list.

Think he's contracted til Oct 2010.

So who's available apart from J. Brown? Glad Fev's got tied up!

Matt Greig

When you have to quote yourself, you know the rumour is best kept to yourself.

We should not be trying to lure big fish as we are in a rebuilding stage and need all the high draft picks we can get.

Correct. Any talk about the getting the likes of Pavlich, Fevola, Brown is just nonsense.

Right or wrong, it's talk from within the club. Within the past week.

Ok , lets narrow it down then, well the "Big Name" forwards of the comp are Pavlich, Franklin, Brown, Bradshaw, Riewoldt, Roughead, Fevola, Mooney, Hall, Rocca, Lloyd, Hansen, Tredrea, Porplyzia, Richardson.

I can't see any of those being poached or traded.

Maybe the talk is Jack Watts.

Hansen is a Melbourne boy, city and club. He could be a chance, but his body continually falls apart.

Hansen is not a big name forward.

Pretty much a red headed version of Brad Miller.

I can see how this would be true.

Next year we will have plenty of room in our salary cap, and i think i heard somewhere that we have to pay a certain percentage of that cap (a friend of mine said 97% but wasn't sure).

If that is the case it is better to lure a player over rather than pay our current list more than their worth. Except that we might have to trade a player/pick.

Personally I wouldn't want to lose picks or players. And I wouldn't look for a Power forward (i can't see any of the current power forwards being right for us at the right price). Trading for some quality or pace in the midfield might prove easier and more beneficial.

I don't mind Hansen... he could be worth a look.

pavlich is over 23 and consequently not suitable for our young list.

True. But he's West Coast's big name forward.

Yeah, so he's 26, turning 27 on New Years Eve, so what?

Don't need one.

Drafting Watts would go a long way to addressing this problem.
