O'Keefe moving south?

[Nasher 33,617]

O'Keefe could fly south next winter

On the con side, he's 27 and probably won't be part of our next tilt, so it might be somewhat wasteful. I wouldn't bother going for him for that reason.

On the pro side, he's a real Ryan O'Keefe type player.

[Dalrot 85]

Would only take him if he bleeds red and blue.

[beelzebub 23,382]

Would have thought 27 was old for a team with no window opening any time soon.. Probably suits Bullies of possibly dare I say it the Filth...Would have been a bonus for the Sainters tonight

Not a lot of sense coming here....just at the present.

[Freak 100]

i would only take him if he was 23 or under, as is our policy.

[Geddy Lee 582]

B) Very good.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,939]

Yeah we're in a youth policy hense we can't entertain any A-Grade quality

[Adzman 2,154]

Club has already stated they are working on a 5 year plan. In 5 years he is 32, in football years he would be considered almost finished.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

He's too slow like Valenti and his ruck work is about as good as Paul Johnson's.

Will stay in Sydney.

I always saw O'Keefe as more of a Brock Mclean type player haha

[titan_uranus 25,043]

Star player, but I guess we can't entertain thoughts regarding anyone over the age of 25. 27 is too old for Melbourne, even if the player is Ryan O'Keefe.

A gun player and very stiff to miss AA. IMO had a better year then Steve Johnson.

But for reasons stated by posters already, he is a no go.

He's a swannie and bleeds red and white. He's just trying to up his price but if he does go to PSD, .

[Chelly 827]

The whole thing smells like a ploy to strengthen his hand in contract negotiations. He won't leave Sydney and won't play for us.

[Yze_Magic 3]

Too old.

Matthew Bate is his clone. They play identical roles.

Ill stick with the 21 year old Bate thanks.

[Nasher 33,617]

Agreed Redleg, I doubt he'll go anywhere. I really only posted this thread because I wanted to make the "O'Keefe type player" gag to be honest.

27 and wants 4 years? nope.

Nonsense.

[Sir Why You Little 37,124]

I Love watching Ryan Okeefe. if he was available at a reasnoable price i hope the club would consider him. This Group would love to learn from a Premiership Player. But yes i think he is just upping his price for the Swannies...

Nonsense.

That's not nonsense at all Mono. Bate does play the same role as O'Keefe. The difference is that O'Keefe is about 5 times better than Bate. But Bailey is developing Bate into a half-forward who can push up into the midfield at times.

Correct.

Dont worry. And no matter what I say, Mono will call it nonsense even though its always spot on.

Cant see us being in the mix..

WOuld be an asset IMO, however, id perfer a taller option..
