GWS And Their List Of Targets Revealed

Basically there's a file called 'GWS Confidential' on the stats site (Prowess) used by GWS. When installed it gives you 46 reports of AFL players in PDF files, so it's easy to assume that they're trying to recruit some of these players.

The Melbourne players on the list are Cale Morton, Jack Grimes, Jack Trengove, Jack Watts, James Frawley and Tom Scully. The list was created in September last year, so only Morton and Scully are still uncontracted from that list.

Poor form, GWS.

Anyway, the full list of players found in the file is at the link above.

    Didnt Jack Watts sign a 3 year deal late last year which would see him here until the end of 2013? or am I wrong?

    most of the players on the list are out of their reach now, must have been a list put together last year?

    I haven't given up on Morton, yet. There's a quality league footballer lurking somewhere within that young man.

    Time's ticking, though.

    Trengove is definitely one who comes out of contract next year. We could see the whole Scully scenario played out again with his name up in media lights.

    Doubt it'll happen, but as always unless there's ink on paper ...

    Didn't he label himself as a one club player?

    Seconded.

    So did Brock McLean. Not saying this to disparage Trenners, but young players say it a lot, perhaps at that young age they haven't been tainted by the club's lack of loyalty.

    IIRC McLean left because he was requested to take a pay cut to stay with Melbourne and also because he was more likely to play in a premiership winning side at Carlton.

    I doubt either will happen with Trengove.

    Both good points, and FWIW i think Trengove will be a Dee for a very long time.

    I dont know if i will take much out of this list, i could have written something very similar.... and it states that dates are 09/10.....ect would be the players worth targeting however, times change

    Hhmmmnn, yeah, it's a bit like that, isn't it. In todays reduced bench, endurence is more important, and height as well. But, so is toughness.

    The list was created in September. It's basically reports of uncontracted (at the time)players they were considering contacting, so it's going to be a broad and obvious list.

    It's confidential GWS info, nonetheless. :)

    Wow! Cameron Wood, Chris Mayne, Ben Warren, Lachie Hansen, Easton Wood, Josh Hill.

    There's a team of future Brownlow medallists on their wishlist you could build a team around!

    These sort of 'non mainstream' sports sites will fill their pages with any kind of drivel that they consider 'an exclusive'

    21 posts in, nobody mentions the fact that North is the only side with more names on the list which means GWS rates us as having the 2nd best young gun talent in the comp...too busy whinging I guess... oh and they're right too, all of those 6 will be fantastic players. If you'd throw away Morton now you have some sort of excrement for brains

    Hrmmm.

    Interesting conclusion to come to.

    Not the correct one though.

    And Lachie Hansen might be a bit injury prone, but he is a real talent, I'd be happy for him to come to Melbourne.

    He might be happy to move. Seeing as his own captain paid out on him 2 weeks ago.

    He is lucky he can move at all after hitting that fence last weekend, a very lucky boy.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
