Greater Western Sydney Player Raids

[Triple Jack 13]

WIth the story that Andrew Swallow is a big target and that Mitch Clark and Rhys Palmer are also on the agenda i was wondering who is out of contract after 2011?My link

Scully is the first one that comes to mind, but he seems a pretty loyal type of guy, so hopefully he will sign on quickly.

Who of our big name players could be targeted, who are out of contract?

BTW is there something like GWS get two years of uncontracted players or was that something about PSD or Rookie draft?

And yes i know it is a long way away but over the next four months is when GWS are allowed to sign these such players and with the rumours already coming out i thought why not set the ball rolling.

They do get to take players over 2 years, so any player out of contract 2011 or 2012 is up for grabs.

Those coming out of contract at the end of next year are:

Sylvia, Scully, Gysberts, Morton, Wonna, Maric, Martin, Fitzpatrick, Gawn, Cheney

[Green Machine 63]

I hope they take Morton.

[DeezMan 4]

I hope they take Morton.

That is absolutely ludicrous. You're better than that, mate.

I hope our club is strong enough that NO ONE will leave. We've fended off the Gold Coast (Frawley, Rivers, Petterd and even Bruce all saying no) so now it's time to fend off the rampage that will be GWS.

Guys like Morton, Gys, Gawn, Fitzpatrick and Scully are all imperative to our development as youngsters going forward.

Thanks for that ox

Sylvia has to be our first signing out of those as soon as possible.

It would be a disaster to lose him

Yep, the only 2 players that the GWS would genuinely chase hard and would genuinely hurt us if we left would be Sylvia and Scully.

Like Davey, Jamar, Frawley etc, these 2 are critical to our success going forward, and should be signed on 3 year deals hopefully

Sometimes I think an IQ test should be required before being allowed to join Demonland.

This could be a reason why Bruce should NOT get more than 1 Year If he stays.

No point culling off half the posters.....

Everyone are out of bounds...plenty of premiership medals there...

But would you let in the upper or lower half?

[Disco Demons 92]

scully was missed in that list!

[ox_5 163]

scully was missed in that list!

Or he is the second name on the list...

That seems naive in the extreme. All GReaterWesternSydney has to do is wave big bucks in front of any Vic. footballer and they will go. The AFL is regulating the departure of Vic. footballers to the expansion states so the locals don't rise up and revolt. Whether we can hold onto an uncontracted Scully remains to be seen.

I think our FD has already shown how thrifty they can be when it comes to matters of this ilk. I will again back the FD to make the right decisions. GO DEES !!!

Ohk, if they were to take one of our players, I would want it to be Morton.

GWS is only a spiral torpedo away from Melbourne's nightspots and AFL culture.

You're the administrator, just delete him

[Carlos Danger 380]

Pretty confident it will be the same story as this year, it seems we have a committed young list who can see the bigger picture and why it's truly worth hanging around.

Beat me to it Steamin. Our FD managed the process extremely well in 2010, and I have every confidence that they will do the same in 2011. Besides, I very much doubt that any of our young guns would be lured away by big $s to play for a 'nothing' team, when they have the prospect of playing beside their mates in a premiership team.

Scully's family have bought a 2 bedroom unit close to the city for TS and his sister to share. There's no chance that he will be leaving Melbourne.

We are Melbourne.......They are Greater Western Sydney (whatever that is) which would you choose when you REALLY think about it. Kevin Sheedy can only say so much. B)

That may be one of the most misguided posts I've seen. Are we to believe that because someone in Scully's family bought a place, and that they didn't even buy it just for Tom, that he'll be committed to the demons for more than 12 months?

That purchase means absolutely nothing to Tom's future.
